Oh boy, and it's only the 16th day of the year 2019.
I'm not expecting people to be patient, just keep the conclusion jumping ... no ... conclusion LEAPING to a minimum. Nintendo does what Nintendo wants and when Nintendo wants.
No wonder that many leakers/insiders stopped giving out infos. ^^

Yeah Nintendo fans are quite bipolar. Hyped and excited one moment, horribly depressed and angry 5 seconds later.
Probably, they said a few years back they want all of their games going forward to get simultaneous global releases.
I mean people said in 2018 to keep waiting for the big direct that will have crazy reveals to be fair.
So much Doom 16 days into the year...
The Direct will come and everything will be fine (for like two weeks and then the Doom will come back, most likely)

You guys are crazy if you think FE is gonna be a September game. July at the latest, WW. Nintendo is gonna have a game every 2 months or so:
March-Yoshi
May-Animal Crossing
July-Fire Emblem
September-Luigi's Mansion
November-Pokemon
That is an excellent line up, I don't see the need to freak out. If anything, the later a general direct drops, the more likely its going to also contain the revision announcement. This is good.

Either worldwide or the western release happens a month after the Japanese one, like Echoes. Can't see anything else for it.
We don't know how good they are as they haven't released yet. Why are we always so concerned with AAA games? There are other games out there that can be just as enjoyable, if not moreso.
Either way, having a direct tomorrow or in around 3 weeks was not substantially going to change Nintendo's Q1 anyway.
We actually have more than two games confirmed for 2019 though. Last year at this time all we knew of was Fire Emblem and Yoshi, both of which wound up getting delayed.
Nope
So april will be nothing
May nothing
June nothing
July nothing
August nothing
September fire emblem
October nothing
November pokemon
December animal crossing
January 2020 nothing
Febuary 2020 nothing
March 2020 luigis mansion 3
Yep, this is a really good point too. Seems to me, if we go with logic on each title, then the announcements simply don't all fit in the place that logic dictates they would be! Pokemon Direct could come in the same month as a Nintendo Direct... but it seems unnecessary when they've, presumably, left January empty?
January = Nindies, February = General (with big sections for Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing), March = Pokemon. It seems a bit too crazy for them to put Pokemon, Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem info dumps out all in the same month... surely something has to give?
Dragon's Dogma was much, much bigger news to me than that. There's been plenty of news if you're not looking exclusively at first party games.
January is the month of optimism
Now the rest of the year 2019 is bitter realism
Like an edgy 90s comic
There is no hope

Mario Tennis and a couple of Wii U remasters were confirmed early 2018
I think concern trolls are a real issue especially in the poltics threads were we unfornately get a lot of those shitty people
Cause we, as consumers, dont buy a 320$ device for playing smartphone games. Since big third companies such as Square Enix (with its biggest games, DQXI not dated, KHIII, FFXV) or Rockstar (RDR2, GTAV) dont bet on Switch, we got to conform with Nintendo's titles (first party AAAs). It means that I'm not gonna stay quiet.
Addition: We are also paying for a poor online service.
You need a Sylvia Plath tag or something.
Not until the mini Direct.
Ah, just checked and that was January 11th, so you're right that we knew of a few more games by this time last year.
They revealed AC, Smash, showed FE in the E³ Direct ... there certainly were big reveals, just not packed into one Direct.
You could almost say the TGAs were a "Direct-lite" due to MK XI and Marvel Ultimate Alliance ... those certainly were crazy reveals.
;]
That game may as well be yoshi tier based on the mindless gameplay of the first 2
Its really not my thing
I prefer either fighting games
Or action adventure when it comes to marvel
And a proper acrion adventure game is practically impossibe to do and have Evrey marvel character ever playable
So i understand why the gameplay is the way it is
There is an enormous gap between "smartphone games" and "the biggest AAA games". Like, thousands of games fall into that gap. Hundreds of games releasing yearly fall into that gap.
It's frankly a bit insulting to imply that anything that isn't a huge AAA game is a smartphone game.
Read the room.
(No)
Kinda figured once we got the games without a direct couple weeks back we may not get a direct this month. Oh well, no biggie. I rather be surprised by a direct than have one expected.
When a direct is really happening, it will be hinted at right before by tons of insiders.
User Warned - Inflammatory Generalizations
Indies are smartphone games. Other games between them and AAA announced for Switch Q1 are regular/poor quality. For example, Travis' reviews say that it's such a lineal game.
Being realistic and not becoming overly emotionally invested in the software lineup of a single gaming company is not "clapping to Nintendo."
I think it's definitely understandable for people to be disappointed by Q1 (Nintendo did suggest there'd be a big game every month and February currently has nothing outside of Ace Attorney and Steins;Gate, which are awesome but also ports of relatively niche games). But extending that disappointment to the rest of 2019 is a bit silly and premature
We already know this year has Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, a whole buncha Final Fantasies, and who knows how many indies that'll surprise people (like Celeste and Undertale did in prior years). IIRC we should learn more about mobile Mario Kart before March, too. Not to mention Joker and Piranha Plant.
It's always a bit frustrating when Nintendo is cagey, but these days you just have to accept they announce things 3-6 months in advance of release, with only a rare few games getting more than that. They'll be fine.

That's an extremely insulting thing to say. Imagine if you were an independent developer reading this post.
And 125 days (4 months) without any news except for Yoshi's predictable date (since It was supposed to be released last year).
