Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT7| March Madness

OP
It was pretty good for the format but it wasn't a good Direct considering the 6+ month gap since the last General Direct.
In any other situation, I would probably be livid right now but it just feels like this was cut short for obvious reasons. Not a single new Nintendo release announced. The situation worldwide is so drastic and dynamic that I guess they need to sort everything out first. We're just at the beginning of this mess it feels like. So this leaves me unsatisfied but I know why it has to be this way I guess. Bravely Default Demo makes me happy though.
Number of stuff shown doesn't matter if nothing in it interested us.
True...
This is supposed to be a Mario year, per Emily right? So what, 3 Mario games gonna be announced at e3 and release before December or something?
They announced two brand new first party games.
They're very small games but still. Why do people keep glossing over that?
What are the odds there just straight up isn't a holiday title
Wow, a whole 28 minutes and the only first party news was that FP6 is Spring Man.
"Nintendo's 2020 is going to be great" my ass

Yea. I could see the holiday push being something like mario golf, mario party, and 3d world, and pokemon dlc.
Wonder if Nintendo wants a nutty E3 Direct with BOTW2, Paper Mario, Metroid 5, etc. etc. to compete with the Next Gen news cycle.
in 2013-2017, we would've killed for Catherine, XCoM2, Borderlands & Bioshock Collections, Xenoblade Remake with new content, a Smash reveal (and #6 out of 10 DLC characters, 10!) King's Bounty, Bravely Default 2, Jedi Academy, Panzer Dragoon Remake, Burnout Paradise, Saints Row 4, Legend of Heroes, an HD Animal Crossing to be an E3 Direct, and now so many are upset about all of these being in a mini-Direct. How times have changed in just a few short years.
I thought it was good, especially for a mini.
did I want Pikmin? New first party announcements ? Yes, but I'm fine waiting until E3. I imagine COVID is messing with all release dates as they said. They probably don't know if their fall games will be pushed to holiday, and if their holiday ganes will be pushed to spring
going to check out the Good Job game, buy Panzer Dragoon, try ARMS and BD2 demos today, pretty psyched

It seems like we've entered the weak-as-hell-first-party stage that every successful Nintendo platform has in its life cycle
hey, I got my favorite Mario, favorite Zelda (though I haven't played many others), enjoyed ARMS, had a lot of fun in Smash in college and will continue to, had fun with my first Mario Tennis and Mario Party, enjoying Luigi's Mansion, and I just got what I think is my favorite Animal Crossing ever.
If the first party isn't there until the next system, I can't really complain, even if I would've liked some darn Pikmin on this thing.

hahahaha that would be wild and unthinkable normally but I have NO idea what to expect from them at this point so
I can't even say i'd be 100% surprised?
they'll have one. eventually
Dont even remember the september direct, but yeah...probably same.
Well, that didn't quite satisfy my hunger. And those people on Twitter who hyped this week for new Nintendo games? What was that about?
Ehhh the last mini was pretty good though:
- Wii U ports of Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 1 + 2, and Tropical Freeze.
- Ports of more recent games like Ys VIII.
- Mario Tennis Aces was announced.
- And Kirby Star Allies had a lot of information shared on it.
Times have changed because it's 2020 now and those games aren't new, and the AC thing was an update we already knew.
Just finished watching it and I've already forgotten what was in it for the most part. Bleh.
I guess the Xenoblade stuff was cool. I wonder if this is what Adam Howden finished recording way back in July (I dunno if he's since talked about it again):

Greeaaaaaat...
And Paper Mario is gonna end up a switch Swan Song for it's final year, I guess? I'm beginning to think IntSys is just working on the next FE game instead.
Yep it realy seems like this was full fledged Direct planned at this date but was last minute done as a Mini one, due to first party title probably not quite ready due to covid-19.
I enjoyed it. I know many didnt. It could've used new first party announcements but idk, it's a mini I think it was packed with stuff. Sucks we knew about a lot of it pre-reveal tho.
I might have missed that they're Nintendo published then, my bad, might have to rewatch. Does not change my feeling that this was cut short because they need to sort their schedules out first. I'm fine with that. I wish they would have had at least a nice suprise at the end and not more Pokemon. Guess the game that was supposed to end H1 on a high note got "delayed".
Super Mario Party 2, Mario Odyssey 2, BOTW 2, Tomodachi Life 2, Switch Sport Resort...
Fun fact: My stepdad's friend is Adam Howden, he is really nice and funny!Just finished watching it and I've already forgotten what was in it for the most part. Bleh.

Imran Kahn isn't a trustworthy source. Also this is just (obvious) speculation
That's about what I'm thinking. BotW 2 or some major holiday game would have absolutely been shown off with a date by now if it was coming out this year.
I've always thought that was E3 but now that you mention it....
