NSMB2 was pretty mediocre and so is the 79 score for a Mario game but 89 and 87 are pretty wild scores for 2D platformers. Look at Tropical Freeze scores for example.
True. So we expect TW101, a smartphone game and 2 potentially new games. I wonder if Madworld HD, Anarchy Reigns HD... or another smaller title from their past could also be ported and published by them. I just find hard to believe that they have enough resources to suddenly greenlit several projects, one of them "big". TW101 is a big enough game that was already developed (and funded by Nintendo) so maybe they can also strike a deal with Sega on some game that Sega is not interested in re-releasing. A smartphone game can be quite cheap to make depending on the inital content too.
Look, if Furukawa turned around to EAD Tokyo and said "there are people on Resetera saying we don't have what it takes to make 2D platformers that score above 90+ anymore, so cancel Super Mario Iliad because we're putting you guys on a new 2D game to prove that we can still do it", there'd be a lot of groans, and Miyamoto would probably roll his eyes, but I have no doubt in my mind that they could do it.

Not sure whether Bayonetta 3 is 2020 or 2021 but for Babylon's Fall since we won't see the game again until this summer (TGS?) it's very unlikely to hit this year.
Also add a Bayo port for PS5 and Xbox Series X somewhere lol

Bowser looks weirdI would give up my firstborn for a handdrawn 2D Mario that looks like this
You're laughing. We've been waiting 6 months for a direct and you're laughing.
It feels more like a year to me ! :P
Mate your clock is broken and you should fix it. Unless you think an announcement would happen 12 minutes later than usual. :p
2016 was not a good year for them. I was excited for that TMNT game as I had a friend that really liked Transformers Devestation and loves TMNT.
That seems likely. I would add Astral Chain 2 for 2021 or more likely 2022 but that's just speculation at this point
Nope. It's 32 mins. General directs are always announced 36 hours before. After today see you in March
Yeah probably, NSMB seem to be lower budget less ambitious projects than the 3D games. But I still don't think they are awful or bad even for Nintendo standards.
It could be announced in 24 hours and air Thursday night (Europe time). Until tomorrow there's hope.
This thread has really died down, seems like all hope is lost. Naturally, this means it's happening.
Could be in 20 minutes, could be in several hours, could be tomorrow...i think it's sort of useless to try and predict anymore after the last Animal Crossing Direct announcement!
Either way exciting stuff is on the horizon - Nintendo will have to pull out the big guns this year to not drown in the Sony and Microsoft buzz.

The AC Direct really didn't throw a wrench in anything, game-specific Directs have always been announced at weird times. XC2 Direct was announced on a Friday, for instance. General Directs are much more rigid in their patterns (but still, Nintendo, so who knows).
Yeah, given that the extreme optimism has been proven not to work this month, we should try to believe it won't happen.
"The leaker Zippo told WIRED that they will no longer be leaking Nintendo games. And in a message on his Discord channel, the leaker Sabi said the same to friends and fans. Finally, in February, the FBI caught one of the most connected Nintendo leakers of all time: a hacker who went by the name RyanRocks."
Holy shit lmfao.
Holy shit lmfao.
