I'm not sure I am ready to lose myself in XBC1 all over again for 80+ hours but I am happy for the people that are playing it for the first time.

I say this being fully aware that I'll be there day one if the game has substantial changes from the original.

I'm so hyped, like it's weird. I've never played Xenoblade 1, I've only played Xenoblade 2 and Torna, but I have wanted to play Xenoblade 1 since 2014. I kept helding off because of the price of snagging a Wii copy, but then the new 3DS port came...but it was 2015 and I barely touch my 3DS, so I didn't want to play it that way (but considered it). Later when the Wii virtual console port came to Wii U, I considered buying it like four different times and stopped myself, thinking "if the Switch will get X, I will wait for a port of the first one to come to Switch", then a remake for Switch is announced.

Like, damn. I am so excited :D (I haven't spoiled myself on Xeno 1, it will be nearly a fresh experience for me!)
Feeling the same! And good on you for not touching the 3DS port. It doesn't do the game justice imo. Definitely a game you wanna play in all its glory. The 3DS port was a respectable achievement, no doubt, but the game couldn't shine on the hardware.

The fact we actually get to go to the Bionis' shoulder without hacks means the story has to change somewhat. Unless it's some post game or optional area

I'm starting to get a little anxious. This really is it. The week we've been waiting for. I just want to see all the new games. The biggest drought between directs we've had in Switch era. We've been really patient I would say.
I was just thinking that. A lot of patience compared to previous years. I think it clearly helped that we had a February Direct before, so I think everyone already had the 13th down as the worst case scenario, meaning January wasn't all that negative in the end.

That said... if we got nothing this week, I think it could kick off a bit around here!!

If the announcement is today (in Barcelona is 9:30 AM right now), when it will be announced if Nintendo does it at the same time as the previous Directs?

I wouldn't read into it
Read?

Damn, I can't believe we're finally getting a sequel to 100 Classic Book Collection (it's a first-party title!)

Good good. What if Super Mario Party 2 is the June game? I checked and they did release a handful of Mario Party games outside of the holiday season including one of them in June
Hm, it's hard to say. June would be plausible. SMP is one of the "huge" selling games that could actually have a 4 month turn around like Mario maker 2.

I might still lean fall. If there is a price drop this year in the fall I feel like Mario party is the type of franchise to benefit a lot (not that it wouldn't still benefit if it released in june…)
I think SMP2 won't hit the 10+ of SMP, but 6m+ should be a lock.

Thank you for all the responses!

I hope today or tomorrow we have an announcement, I'm not as active as some of you in the thread but I have been waiting for a Direct since mid January too.

All the Youtubers going to a press event is clearly an indicator, but I fear it's an AC event (maybe this week's Direct is AC's who knows) and nothing else, maybe XC DE.

There's precedent of the press doing a preview event for games that have not been announced in a Direct?

Yes, A Link Between Worlds had previews go up immediately after announcement IIRC

Nate said that it wasn't for AC.
Wow this is interesting for several reasons. AC seems a big game for Nintendo, even if the gameplay loop can't really be summarized in a 3 hour session an event explaining all the new features seems a given, maybe it will be early next month but doing 2 close events now seems kind of strange.

And thb Mistery Dungeon doesn't "deserve" a full press event, so there's a high possibility that XC DE or even other unnanounced games are there, which makes me more optimistic about a Direct soon.
