You know what is funny? That in a Wired article Zippo said he will not be leaking anything anymore and quess what? Said today something about Paper Mario being close to completion or maybe even something before that. I am starting to feel bad for people who believed him.
studios are starting to enforce work from home. Might be a little tricky for some due to a lot of devs not having laptops and simply not having the hardware at home necessary to work.
curious how this will play out. I predict (hope) we'll be asked to stay home in the next week...
I imagine Nintendo will scramble to make the preps necessary to hit that summer comm pulse point now

Two sacrifices, two directs, checks out.
Hope has really come back to this thread eh? Would be such a Nintendo move to crush it.

That would be costly with constant updates and all. There's Modern Warfare 2 remaster being rumored, it's more fitting for Switch, I think. That's my favorite CoD game after the 3rd game, would be day one purchase even at $60 price point.
Can you give us a random hint at a game you know is coming, that we may not know of? You can make it really obscure if you want
It's nice to have a direct basically confirmed, even if its two weeks away. Feels a lot less like pissing into the wind.
Jeez. I guess that means MP4 must be a very long way away. I assume they are saving the trilogy to come out around a year before MP4, so If the trilogy doesnt come out this year, I wont expect MP4 next year
I wasn't really gonna comment on this but since you said it I think it will be okay to.
I just want to express that I agree completely with what you said. What I'm going to say I'm certainly not suggesting it applies to every guy gamer. But, any gal who is with a guy that is so entrenched in gaming to where it's serious business, it's all that matters and it's all they want to do with their time should at the very least seriously evaluate if the relationship is worth continuing. I'm all for talking it out and giving the guy a chance to address the concerns but if it continues to be a problem the gal needs to break up. The gal should find someone that is well rounded and understands you can have a relationship and game at the same time but you can't have the gaming be everything 24/7.
I mean this is literally exactly what happened with the cancelled February Direct that all the insiders leaked, so I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to punish us again.
Everyone and their mothers thought we'd get a direct on feb 13, 2019 cause King Zell and they did nothing.
Nate do u think we have a possibility to see a new botw2 trailer in the next direct?
We need a third to make that sweet Metroid Prime Trilogy happen
RE: Ports talk
I guess I have the opposite approach/opinion to most because I'm much more likely to reward a publisher bringing back an older game that has probably fallen to the wayside in the last decade than a publisher coming in a year later with a game that should have already been on Switch in the first place and expected to be rewarded.
At the very least if a Switch version is going to take a bit longer I appreciate knowing about it beforehand like with Wolfenstein, Doom Eternal or The Outer Worlds.

I believe BotW2 will be a thing for their June/Summer Direct. They have other stuff to focus on right now.
some of y'all need to cool it with pressing insiders for info
they'll mention stuff if they want to

I'm excited about a lot of remasters/remakes i just think this far into the switches life span nintendo probably shouldn't be leaning so heavily on them. Will wait and see what they actually announce though.
So in that case it'll be a 2021 game? Since it seems like they need to show something related to the holiday 2020 game in this upcoming direct, whatever it is.
They don't need to show their holiday 2020 lineup in March. Odds favor they still do their E3 Direct in June & that is typically the holiday 2020 lineup focus time.
They don't even have a public roadmap for the next 3 months. If they blow people's current expectations for spring and summer away, people won't be as anxious about fall/the holidays.
In prior years the spring/summer lineups were largely known the year before (not the case this year), so Nintendo dropped more late-year announcements to get attention in the slow early months.
I'm expecting them to announce the big games for 2020, while June Direct will have a couple of big 2021 games. They wouldn't announce something like Mario Odyssey 2 in June for a release in October, they'll obviously want more months of hype. They don't need to show a lot of it tho, just a teaser like they did with Smash in 2018.
If we're talking about the Switch era, E3 always focuses on Holiday lineup but the games are previously announced. Super Mario Party is the only exception I can think of.
Some of the last Wii U ports remaining, Xenoblade and the Pokémon DLCs probably...
Anyway it is sad that all the Metroid related games have been postponed to probabli 2021, very sad >__>
OP

I don't think they'll all be 2021. I'm not sure I can see them releasing three Metroid games in one calendar year.
Why are we back to pessimism all of a sudden by the way ?
That thread is a damn experience sometimes I swear
Why do you guys only expect ports from Nintendo lol

True it's cool that they exist but not exactly exciting.. Of course there's a big difference between a release like TMS#FE and releases like Xenoblade DE and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.
Trying to read between the lines of what Nate is saying, I feel like expectations should be tempered with this next direct. Maybe we only get announcements for things releasing up August/September...
Fair enough. I wasn't thinking they'd focus on it in this direct, was just thinking they'd show something about it. Since in previous years we got info on Smash, Odyssey, and Pokemon all well before June.
Splatoon Spin-Off and Paper Mario, maybe a new game series/IP like Lego Mario.
yeah that's all true. I was thinking they'd at least tease the holiday game though just not focus on it, especially if it hasn't been announced. Although if it is Botw2 then it's already been teased I guess.
I feel like the big holiday game has historically already been announced before E3 though?
Odyssey, XC2, Let's Go, Smash, LA, LM3 and SWSH all were
perhaps he's implying that the holiday title has already been announced
People expecting to be the best Direct ever because of how long we waited will probably be disappointed. Expect the usual Q1 Direct with a focus on Q2/Q3 titles, except this time it's in late March for some reason.
