Both?

That's also a good way of looking at it, yeah, maybe even more sensical than expecting them to fear overshadowing AC.
I don't think that's Nintendo's strategy, but it certainly worked. So many people here are saying that because of no Direct, they bought Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and preloaded Animal Crossing.
Yep. And I honestly think this is the case. That's assuming VentureBeat are on the ball here, but they must assume the information is solid to go to press with it.
Third parties marketing schedule can change too. We dont know yet.
You have literally no evidence to back this up. FFVIIR and RE3 are basically new games, they play, look, and sound entirely different from the 20+ year old originals. People didn't complain about Samus returns, which was that style of remake.
Interesting. Two of the most firmly rumoured games have, for months, been Pikmin 3 and Super Mario 3D World, so I'd assume it's a reference to those.Both?
Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT6| OT7 Has Been Rated in Korea
In this instance, when I was talking about ports, I was speaking specifically about Nintendo's games. But I definitely don't know everything. Just trying to help keep expectations in check.
Would this happen to be a reference to a couple of Wii U ports that we've been expecting to see in 2020? Not sure if I should state directly what they are...
No, they won't just all simply accept to let Nintendo fuck up their whole marketing schedule.
I'll just say that if 3D World is coming, I haven't heard one way or the other. To be very clear, that doesn't mean it isn't happening. I absolutely have gaps in my knowledge for this Direct. Beyond that, I think many of the recent rumors from reliable people are accurate.
Thanks for the response. I guess Nintendo are leakier than they used to be, but they still keep plenty under wraps. The Zelda reveal at E3 being a good example of how easily they can blindside people when they want to. Hell, even yesterday's Lego Super Mario news came out of nowhere.
Why third parties have not announced any game for this year yet? (For Switch)
Yes. Pikmin 3 always made sense for first half of 2020 and 3D World for second half. I disagree with the release tho. I don't see it past September release.
Because they agreed on the date of the March Direct, that was always supposed to be in March 26th.
I think 3D World is July or October, depending on what else Nintendo have ready. They normally have notable titles in July, but an October release would be well-timed without Nintendo's entire Q4 slate relying on a big game that is ultimately still a port. It'd leave room for another release in October itself (Bayonetta? Metroid?), with November clear for Zelda or EPD 9's game, or even both (Nintendogs and Zelda would be fine launching the same month, for example).
Ok. Who sets the date for the Direct? Nintendo. So in the end third parties, in greater or lesser degree, depend on Nintendo to reveal their games.
I honestly don't remember. To be blunt, I didn't put a huge amount of stock in what Sabi said. I'd forgotten about the GDC pattern, but have seen a few posters mention it.
I would change Paper Mario to a brand new game, but everything together would make a fantastic direct.
I would love to see what they will do with the series but I think it will be Splatoon 3 rather than a spinoff. In the case of a spinoff I think they could do something with the Salmon Run concept.
nice! i loved that they included the pico 8 version in the game. if you found that interesting, there's also a really cute pico 8 "demake" of fez, you should check it out (it's free).
I expect BOTW2 this year in November, but yeah I think we'll see it at E3, not this Direct.
It makes no difference if they decide to have a direct 2 weeks before AC or right after it lol
The "ugly mii games shit" 🤣🤣
I'm not sure, but I will bet against botw2 showing up. I think E3 is the better place for that.
