Nate Drake, Emily and Zippo seem excited and expect great things for 2020. We should all too.
I'm playing it safe and saying two weeks from now. Next week feels too soon, but who knows?
I expect a lot of insiders and "insiders" coming out in droves tomorrow claiming either of the weeks. Tomorrow will be interesting.
But aren't there only like six or seven Sonic characters in those games, while everyone else is from another SEGA IP? That sounds like domination to me. Which is fine for that kind of game. But Mario Kart should always just be mostly Mario characters with like three or so guests.
Yes, I guess it could be possible. I really enjoyed the campaign in Splatoon 2 and from what I have heard the DLC is amazing too, so I would be superhappy with that kind of announcement. Nintendo has really managed to create a kind of shooter with more emphasis on platforming and a great level of challenge.

y'know guys I'm kinda starting to worry about Animal Crossing.
the fact that we've seen the box art without any sign of another big element, like a hotel for instance, makes it seem like there may not be much we don't know.
But the holes are still there. We haven't seen:
- stores
- the museum
- most of the cast
- how the town develops (e.g. will there be a town hall eventually? A mayor?)
My excitement has been predicated on the potential of the new gameplay, but I fear that potential may be unrealized, and we've seen everything there is to see.
I recognize of course that it's silly to fret with a Direct incoming but the TV-style spot and box art are giving me pause. I hope they've just been tight-lipped to let the game reveal its surprises as it's played; basically everything about New Leaf was known before its release, a situation exacerbated by the regional delay.

I remember we didn't see towns in BOTW till the switch presentation trailer.
A person on here who seems to get inside info.
Octo Expansion is amazing. I loved the theme of it and the difficulty. It's the best single player experience for Splatoon.
I hope they will reveal a more of this stuff in Direct or AC Direct.
The mini direct came in the "average" year of 2018. I'm expecting big new first party announcements which can only come in a general direct.
8 out of 22, so nearly half. And close to half of the stages too iirc, so if anything it's Sonic domination. And it's also why people refer to this hypothetical game as Nintendo Kart, not Mario Kart.

That's true, and it gives me some solace, yes.
I'm betting on a three to four minute trailer in a January Direct and a dedicated Direct in February. Or maybe that's just what I'm hoping for, it's gotten harder to tell.
I keep saying this but I would absolutely love a Splatoon RPG.
It is sad though. There's no more discussion on a new Mario and Luigi game or what Alpha Dream could be working on.
Transformed has far better balance than the first game though; 7 out of 31 characters (in the PC version) and 5/21 tracks are from Sonic. Still a bit of domination compared to other franchises (and Transformed also has some weird guest characters on that roster), but wouldn't people expect Mario to have a decent chunk of the cast in Nintendo Kart anyway?
I just cant wait for the next Smash character reveal and I have the hopes of finally seeing Bayonetta 3 stuff
I always like when we get close to a direct. You can feel the hype in the air, especially for this first direct because so much is possible when you basically have a clean slate for the year. Many people who don't post will post so it's cool to see.
I don't think they showed a village there. Rather a horse ranch, no?
Oh, I agree, it's definitely no less valid. Like I said, I really like the game. It just doesn't really align with my personal ideal for a 3D Mario.
That said, I'll play the fuck out of it again if/when they bring it over to Switch.
How many first-party reveals are we thinking will be in this January Direct? (Yes, this includes re-reveals of titles that don't have a release date/year yet and were revealed long ago)
I'm thinking 4-5 reveals, three or four new titles and one of two ports. Maybe something along these lines:

- Bayonetta 3 re-reveal
- Splatoon spin-off reveal
- Something from the Mario Kart team (F-Zero?)
- Pikmin 3 Deluxe
- Super Mario 3D World Remix
- Smash Bros Fighter Pass 5
- Animal Crossing
- BOTW 2
they have to talk about tokyo mirage sessions to announce the exclusive shin megami tensei 5 teaser trailer that will be included with the game
I'm pretty sure they did so I just checked and yeah Kakariko was in it
I hope we get better fake leaks lol.
The ones that try really hard to be believeable are much more entertaining.
A SMTIV port before seeing anything from V probably wouldn't go over well, I'd imagine.
This is literally every game Nintendo keeps a lid on. BotW has no towns and Odyssey only has a few kingdoms.
As I was talking about in a New Horizons thread yesterday, this worries me. My favorite part of the Animal Crossing series is the relaxation aspect.
no way this gets a trailer, specially after them delaying 64 on switch for no damn reason and then delaying eternal to god knows when
Yeah, and some SKU listings for leaked. Plus it's logical.
Mario Odyssey being an autorunner was some of the dumbest shit I've ever read on this forum
and this forum is full of dumb shit
Do we have any hint as to where the folks from AlphaDream ended up? It's been a few months now.
There is no mayor. You are on an island owned by Tom Nook. He is the CEO and ruler of all.
Holy shit! I totally forgot about that. That's some real stupidity.
