If you're going to post any direct leaks here just spoiler tag them and I hope any topics made on the leaks won't include the leaked material in the topic title.

Yeah I used to really enjoy reading fake leaks. It got the E3 hype juices flowing.
It's a fair concern, but he popped into the thread a couple days ago to address that, inclined to take him at face value
Taking credit
SGF and Nintendo
Is it just me or does a vast majority of fake leaks have BotW2 subtitles containing either "Malice", "Darkness" or "of the Wild"?
I think there's no way BotW2 will keep "of the Wild". It will be named something completely off. I don't even think it'll have a "the".

Yeah, the ones like "Death of the Wild" are the worst.
Many of them are very Zelda: Edge of the Edge.
Hey that doesn't contain breath or wild.
Exactly so why does it exist when all the announcements are being done independently?
i have a feeling the title is gonna follow the same 'x of the y' format but titles people come up with like 'malice of darkness' 'evil of the wild' etc are so cringe-worthy to me lol
Yup. It'll probably be something like "The Legend of Zelda: New Breath" and half these fans want "The Legend of Zelda: Blood, Guts, DooM"
I think they could make it feel different from the usual Mario fare but a lot of the "edginess" of the originals would be lost. At least according to Imran, they were partially responsible for Nintendo's tight grip on the portrayal of Mario:
It's difficult to say for sure how a Strikers 3 would turn out but Tanabe's comments on what they're allowed to do in Paper Mario do give me some pause (as much as I enjoyed Origami King).
Ultimately, it would still be Mario and frankly, there's already plenty Mario or Mario-adjacent games as is. Just on the Switch we got:
2017
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Super Mario Odyssey
2018
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Super Mario Party
Super Smash Bros.
2019
Yoshi's Crafted World
New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
Super Mario Maker 2
Luigi's Mansion 3
2020
Paper Mario: The Origami King
Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
Super Mario 35 (RIP)
2021
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Mario Golf Super Rush
And we're bound to get more. This list obviously doesn't tell the whole story. Some of these games feel more unique than others, some are only tangentially related to the Mario universe these days (like Donkey Kong). But they've been pretty successful pushing new stuff recently so I'd like to see them try to rely less on Mario going forward. It's why I mourn the loss of AlphaDream but wouldn't really mind Mario & Luigi ending as a series.
Agreed, people dunk on him like he's some kind of SamusHunter-esque fake leaker but all he really does is Tweet about gaming events lol. Very much a stretch to say he's trying to take credit for any of them.
The Legend of Kirby: Suck of the Wild
in other words the new 3D Kirby that was hinted at/speculated on
Talk about bad timing...
I don't blame you lol.
There's always one. I'm sorta leaning towards us getting a surprise 2D Zelda game for the holidays.
I wonder if IS going too far with Super Paper Mario was the other major reason? Maybe Koizumi putting *gasp* story in Galaxy 1 contributed, too?
This is legitimately a position I've come around to after several years of 2D Zelda anxiety and then spending time this week joking around about Nintendo announcing and releasing a 2D Zelda before BotW2 releases.
The online anger when the holiday line up is 2D DK, 2D Metroid, 2D Zelda, and a Pokemon remake. :-o
I was thinking. Nintendo will probably announce the most first party games (for Switch) in this direct since the Switch presentation. The Switch presentation had 5 games from Nintendo themselves.
We could get DK, Metroid, Kirby, Super Mario Party 2, Monolith's new game, EPD 9's new game, Fire Emblem all as options.

Right? Luckily I can take my lunch at 12 during the direct
I don't think we're getting EPD 9s new game announced here. Since that would hurt sales of MK8DX.
I don't think ARMS 2 will hurt MK8DX sales ;)
The not so positive reaction would be more understandable.

Especially since the Pokemon remake is also 2D lmao
"What the fuck Nintendo did you just forget how to make 3D games or something?!?"
I will legit be bummed if every new game announcement from Nintendo at E3 are one's that have already leaked (unless it's the reversal surprise that Star Fox Gran Prix is real!?) and nothing completely new and surprising.
For real though you may be right about them announcing more first party games here then they have in a long time.
I bought Bravely Default 2 2 days ago and the game is great so far but...holy he'll why is it so difficult even on easy ?! I completed BD and BS and they were much easier. I'm at chapter 1 and that first dungeon was rather hard but the boss Orpheus is something else. Is it some kind of difficulty spike or will the game be that challenging from now on ? I don't think I would have the time and patience to go through it if that's the case.
To come up with the ultimate BotW2 subtitle, we just got to look at the masterpiece that is Shadow the Hedgehog's ending names.
Take your pick!

And if that wasn't enough, Disgaea 6 is basically an honorary July game, since it's out June 29th :P
Oh I get that, they would totally have to remove things like Daisy's "hot stuff" taunt and Waluigi's crotch chop. But I still love the gameplay of Strikers so even if the characters had less "edginess" that's a small price to pay for a new game. Games like Mario Golf on the 3DS and LM3 still gave the characters a lot of personality.
EDIT: and the Paper Mario stuff was mostly about character design, which doesn't apply to Strikers since that game had no new characters.
Tried the series back on Vita, but never got into it tbh. I enjoy the writing and its humour, but other than that...
The only one I've played is 5, and I liked it, but it definitely got a little... repetitive? Grindy? Like, one of the things I like about FETH is that your ability to grind and manage your levels and XP is limited. So encounters feel pretty balanced and it's hard to be over or underleveled too much. In Disgaea 5, though, I often found that later in the late game I'd be significantly underleveled when I went to a new chapter. But all I had to do was run like one grind map in the cheat shop and then I'd be good. It felt like a lot of "create your own difficulty" going on, which I am not a fan of/very good at.
That said, the game is so bonkers in a lot of ways I still had a good amount of fun with it.
I played and really enjoyed Shin'en's The Touryst on Switch recently.
Hope they revisit it or its concept again soon.

Okay real talk. What are the chances of a decent e3 sale. I'm really hoping to snag Mario 3D World or New Super Mario U for some co-op goodness.
Also, what are the best co-op games on Switch? I just finished It Takes Two which is 100% my GOTY, and I'm in the mood for more!

Just because it was not in the form of a full Nintendo Direct does not mean 2020 was barren of news, there was actually quite a bit in 2020 -
- There were 19 worldwide video presentations they did including:
- - 4 Sakurai Presents videos covering 4 new smash ultimate characters that released in 2020.
- - 3 Indie World directs like they usually do.
- - 3 Separate Pokemon Presents videos
- - 1 Nintendo Direct Mini in March
- - 4 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcases four months in row July-October
- - 1 Mario 35 Anniversary presentation in September
- - 1 Monster Hunter Direct in September
- - 1 Super Nintendo World Presentation/Direct in December
- - 1 Animal Crossing Direct back in February
And this doesn't include the Twitter Drops they did for games like Paper Mario and The Origami King, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
In dealing with a Pandemic their main news cycle was a bit different than most years where a lot of the major news comes in the middle of the year around E3 and was instead more towards the beginning and end of the year. But the information was more spread out since every company and team was likely out of sync in dealing in their own way with Pandemic restrictions and had their own time table for when they could actually release info.
I think it'll happen only because of how wide open the second half is and they'll show 2022 games.
It's a bit too early for 3D World to go on sale, given that it literally just came out, but NSMBU should go on sale for like 40 bucks or something.
