The only rumor I remember is back around the Joker for Smash rumor on 5ch where it was linked to Hayabusa for Smash.
It was supposedly linked to a Ninja Gaiden anniversary project.
Oh, I had dismissed that one completely by this point because that roster was fake.
You know it wouldn't be bad at all if it came March 2021. I'm sure holiday 2020 I'll have plenty of other stuff anyway.
1. TMS#FE
2. Xenoblade DE
3. Pimkin
4. Metroid
5/6 Pokemon
7 Mario something
8 FZero if Pokemon counts as 1
I would love a new Diddy Kong Racing but I'd hope they tap someone like Monster or Sumo Digital for it. I wouldn't want the MK team to be tied up between two kart racers when they can make such wonderful games like Arms. And I still believe that if they were to alternate between two series and Arms wasn't successful enough for them, they should work on an FPS or some sort of co-op action game.
THIS MAN IS RIGHTeverybody talking about some monkey racing shit, but no one talks about THE GOAT
EVERYBODY PRAISE THIS MAN FOR HOW RIGHT HE IS
No seriously, I'm sure Diddy's is great and everything, but this console already has Mario Kart 8 and Crash Team Racing. I'd rather have something along the lines of Excite or Wave Race first.
I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we see an Earthbound remake at some point, though....
Most seem set on the January idea, but I just wanted to point out to those of y'all still saying February/Mar h, you should remember going into 2019 we knew of a ton of releases before the year began. Yoshi, NSMBU, NMH, DaemonXMachina, LM3, MUA3, Three Houses, Town, and Pokemon were all known quantities, not to mention delayed titles like Metroid and Animal Crossing.
Going into 2020 we know of TMS, Animal Crossing, NMH, Bravely, and Xenoblade. We know of far less games by comparison, so a January direct would make a lot more sense this time even ignoring all the other contributing factors.

You're forgetting some other exclusives.
Detective Club 1&2 remakes (first party games), Deadly Premonition 2, Rune Factory 4 Special, Rune Factory 5, and probably some others.
Also first party wise Bayonetta 3 and especially BOTW 2 might very well be 2020 games.
We probably know around as much as last year I would say.
But yeah, january team too anyway.
There's still a pretty big divide between the 2019 games I mentioned and Rune Factory/Detective Club. Detective Club is japan only currently and RF4/5 are very much a niche, while even games like Daemon X Machina and NMH were presented as big highlights for Nintendo. Not to mention in that 2019 games list 8 of them were Nintendo Published releases, versus 4 this year.
Beyond just three games (Mario Maker, Zelda, AC) we knew literally of ALL of Nintendo's 2018 line up outside of digital only releases, while I highly doubt you would try to argue we can say the same for 2020.
Yeah, if Nintendo wants to remake a game from a forgotten franchise Earthbound would be at the top of the list
lol I forgot about those and I actually really liked the latter. Technically count, but I think it's still worth considering them less at the very least since those are treated differently from nintendo. Their trailers being dropped on a random date outside of Directs with not much build up. There'll almost certainly be more titles like that next year but it's the other series that they put a focus on, especially in terms of Directs.
OH MY GOD, A NEW F-ZERO JUST GOT LEAKED ON 4-CHAN! WITH SCREENSHOTS AND EVERYTHING!
I wish. We needed Nintendo news yesterday lol
I will admit that Color Splash isn't a total waste like Sticker Star. But it also doesn't come close to Paper Mario 64 and TTYD. I want a return to that style of Paper Mario. Even Super Paper Mario would be fine.
but the F-Zero tracks in Mario Kart 8 are good
the most love F-Zero has gotten in years
Do you think Nintendo will continue to push for new IP next year and beyond?
Excite Truck was so hype. The whole terrain deformation mechanic was brilliant, throwing your opponents into the air or creating a makeshift ramp by causing a mountain to appear. The way overheating and cooling worked created this exhilarating tension too, leading to a rollercoaster-like adrenaline high when you drive through water and go ham on the boost. And the rugged off-roading tracks let you tackle each course in a semi-open-ended way. Imagine what they could do with that gameplay model with today's tech. :-O
But 2018 and 2019 were bad years(for me). Hopefully 2020 is a bit more exciting.
2018 was by no means bad at all. It was weaker than 2017 and 2019, but it's not like there were Wii U level software droughts. 2019 I think everyone can agree was pretty damn great. 2020 will be in a similar boat.
The difference for me is that in off years (for me, 2018 and 2019) there's plenty of indies and DLC to catch up on.
The best games I played on Switch in 2018 and 2019 were things like Celeste, The Messenger etc.
The Wii U didn't have that sort of support to bolster the slower years.

The Switch's general third party support is also far better than anything the Wii U could've mustered.
Would a Dillon HD compilation count as a remake? Cause I think that's a real possibility.
Also Ever Oasis HD.

the one time I was really hoping for yet another Rayman 2 port and Rayman 3, Ubisoft was all "nah"
they didn't say it, but they long since stopped the tradition
So you're saying there's a chance?
I'm just gonna hold out hope anyway, Rayman 2 is one of those games I will multiple-dip on any chance I get and I could go for a Rayman 3 replay right about now
Rayman remakes or not, I feel like Ubisoft will have some big surprises next year. We had couple of nice ones this year, two AC games and a Trials game and now Switch is sitting on 50m hardware sold, Ubisoft's support will only get better.
Rayman 2-3 remakes make sense but Rayman 4 makes much more sense than those. Ancel should be finishing up with BG&E2 for the next gen systems.
BGE2 is pretty far out. And then Ancel has to finish WiLD too. Not sure if we can even expect Rayman 4 for Switch 2.
As much as I'm frothing at the mouth for it, Rayman 4 is way too far away for me to even begin considering it, 2023 at the earliest. Ports/remakes of 2 and 3 seem like much more feasible concepts in the foreseeable future.
I could see it being a 2021 title, I guess we'll just have to see if it turns up at e3
Bill Trinen knows what's up
(He also loves both Star Wars 7 & 8)
I love how everyone on my TL is either shitting on Star Wars 8 or 9, and then Bill comes here and say "I've spent such a great time with the three films"
Such a chill man
I think from some trustable source we got info that Nintendo wants to have Zelda game every year,
so yeah, if BotW cant be finished on time for 2020. release, I think we will get double pack WW/TP HD release in 2020. instead.
Rumor: Thronebreaker rated for Switch:
Tehe. Told you so. Could suit hybrid / handheld gaming well!

F-ZERO 99. Stylized extremely low-poly graphics, with either really great lighting or stylish flat shading. Every lap has a position limit like in the SNES debut, whittling the racers down to the final 3, then a winner. Gonna be shadow-dropped at the next Direct. I believe, dammit
