Yep I expect both games will be playable at E3 2020 because both will release before E3 2021 and after E3 2020. I don't see Nintendo doing both for the holidays. You want to space out your huge tent pole titles no matter if Sony and Microsoft are launching. Just have botw 2 ready for the holiday and do an official price cut for the Switch. Have bundles of Animal Crossing during the holidays too and Super Mario Party 2. Pokémon could possibly be there. I don't think it will be.
Nah, they waited until mid Feb for Mario Maker 2 which was one of this year's biggest titles. January to late June could work. Probably very unlikely, but nothing too insane.
There are two key things supporting a January Direct: 1) We know Smash DLC has to release by end of February, so time is limited; 2) Nintendo typically has some sort of Direct (or Indie Showcase) ahead of PAX East, which is end of February this yr and considerably earlier than last yr.
Odds favor a mid-January Direct.

outside of a couple, the predictions in that vid weren't that outlandish or wish list-like lol.
it wasn't much different than what people post here. Some Party, golf, 3d world, smash char., MPT, kirby, then nonsense. Weird reactions
I don't think BOTW2 and SMO2 are "necessary" for Nintendo to be competitive next holiday.
Heck, it's not even a sure thing NSW won't by the best selling console in 2021 yet. Not saying it will, but it's not a given that it won't

Specifically about a Direct? Not at this point in time.
Unrelated but potentially tied to a Direct? Sure.
It's generally how people react to Arlo here. Even his reasonable content gets ridiculed for some reason. I liked his twist with NintenDragons. Reminds me of Ring Fit in the "wtf" aspect, like in the weird off the wall way. Like who would predict a fitness JRPG with a story, side quests, and everything from Nintendo.
Does it matter if Nintendo owns them or not? If HAL wants to make a mobile game on the side, then its their right to do so. That doesn't mean they're abandoning Nintendo, considering their biggest property is tied up with Nintendo to begin with.
I'm guessing a third party port. We still haven't had the announcements of leaked stuff like Metro Redux or Biomutant.
nintendragons was the best part lol. yea, it was the just the wtf game.
NateDrake probably knows about a big third party game coming to Switch and figured it would only be announced in a Nintendo Direct
Maybe Nate knows about a major-ish game or demo or something that is slated for a January release and would make sense as a Direct shadowdrop. Nintendo is obsessed with shadowdropping as much as they can nowadays. The previous Directs had like five shadowdrops apiece including some major stuff like Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Switch.
Watch as Team February starts to dwindle lol. Maybe they should've listened to my points earlier! 👊
Are you guys doing your 2019 year in review and predictions for 2020 videos?
It's a smart move, in a lot of cases - shadow-dropping something that might excite folks is a good way to drive up initial hype without having to necessarily run an effective mid-to-long-term marketing campaign. Lets them push their heavy-hitters even harder before release.
Yeah, we're just a little busy with the holidays atm. I'm back on the 28th but tomorrow is my 10 year anniversary with my partner
Happy 10 year anniversary! That's good to hear. Maybe we'll get Rayman in space starting off this next decade on a good note.
Ah yes just what I've been waiting for here we go!!!!
I think it more implies of a game releasing in Feb - a retail game, which Ninty needs a month of time to promote and advertise.
Oh my I missed the first post! Here we go! Is it Halo time???
Congratulations on the anniversary!
Mario Golf: Intergalactic Tour; coming July 2020.
Perfect timing for Halo would probably a launch a few months before Halo Infinite so probably a E3 announcement imo.
ok, direct hype mode has been officially activated. this thread will be 30 pages longer when i wake up tomorrow
It wasn't, they just haven't needed it. That said September's Direct ending in a Xenoblade Remaster and starting with a third party port were definitely mini-tier.
Im also now reminded of when Nintendo had a direct mini a week before E3 2015 and then shat the bed at E3... just why
Maybe. I think Nate knows more about a third party game than first party game, but it's possible it could be first party related.
