I don't know if I can do another "I don't like Nintendo's 2020 Q1 games so their 2020 Q1 is a failure" episode.
You can, however, look up a wiki.
I don't get this notion of just posting baseless info without any fact checking.
ACNH is the most excited I've been for a game since BotW. I vow to not ruin my experience with this game by abusing the power of resetera and the turnip market to completely break the game's economy in the first couple weeks. Making 70million bells by the second week last time around really ruined the game for me.
Last year we got Tales of Vesperia and NSMBU in January. Even though I love TMS, this years January is not as good to me.
Sure, not to me either. The statement made is still wrong though, as this year is (so far) an almost exact replica of last year.
Here is the info for the investors stuff going down this week.
This countdown is for the Financial Release. Here we should expect updates on sales. Particularly, games that sold 1m+ this past quarter and the top 10 selling Switch games. Look forward to updates on recent games Pokémon Sword and Shield, Link's Awakening, and Luigi's Mansion 3 as well as evergreens such as BotW, Smash, Odyssey and MK8D.
this countdown is for the Investors Briefing. Here, Nintendo will tell investors how they plan to approach the upcoming year. Don't expect much in the way of new console game announcements. However, mobile games have historically been announced here. As well as non-gaming ventures such as the Mario movie and Universal theme parks. There is also a Q&A that gets posted, sometimes with interesting questions and sometimes humorous.
Thanks to Dark Cloud for the countdowns!
oh damn, thank you for this
Because I always believed this to be true, for years now. Do you go to a wiki to check everything you post just on the off chance your belief from many years was wrong? (don't answer, this was rhetorical, no one does). If I wasn't sure at the time i posted it, I would have checked.
I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of this:
- First reveal is Paper Mario. Shows off the new battle system (or is it old battle system?), art style, and partners. Vague 2020 release date. One of the normal guys comes on afterwards to confirm a return to form for the series.
- Indie segment
- Pikmin 3 Deluxe revealed, April release date. New story content that takes place before the main story of the game.
- Third party stuff
- Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition release date revealed, it's May to the surprise of absolutely no one.
- Super Mario 3D World Deluxe revealed, comes out in June.
- More third party shiz
- Animal Crossing segment.
- Third party montage, like what they did at E3.
- Metroid 5 revealed as the last announcement, retains all the mechanics from Samus Returns. 2020 release date.
- Oh no wait, one more thing: The unannounced EPD Group 9 game is revealed. 2020 release date.

This year is way better because of Animal Crossing. It does suck that we have no equivalent to the barrage of Final Fantasy we got in Q1-2 last year, though.
I don't remember if it was Eurogamer or Emily but I was in full hype mode once the NX rumours began, right until the Switch reveal with Mario behind the curtain. I think it was Emily.
That rumour/leak was the best one for me even though those days were so frustrating with all the people who didn't believe it.
You can lowkey stab under water and say no one does but I do in fact, fact check, before I post something.
I think the direct will be
- First party
- First party
- First party
- First party
- First party
- Third party whatever games in a 20 seconds slideshow
- First party
- First party
That seems plausible.
Ok I kid, but I really wonder if some people watched the last 3 years directs : D.
I'd like to give my prediction but I just don't feel good enough to think a whole direct especially considering all the games I don't know and probably will appear.
I could name a few I'm sure we'll see but even then those might be announced directly from the publisher.
I personally expect 65-70% 3rd including rare big indies like Hollow Knight maaaybe, and 30-35% first/exclusivity/NSO... max.
Doesn't feel Direct thread but First Party OT.
That's how you end up with a Wii U.

That is an good direct misses only Bayonetta 3 in the direct. But when the last game is Diddy kong racing 2 with dk characters than this direct is the perfect one. Otherwise i miss an donkey kong game in the direct your predict haha.
Allow me to be skeptical.
I see your post to me was your very first post on Era. Imo it is not auspicious as a first post for anyone, but welcome and good luck nevertheless.
That's pretty solid
(I would love it alone for Metroid)
We still don't know much about Bayonetta 3, so we could see that too, but I am confident it's still going well even if we don't see it now.
What I'm missing here is some kind of curveball shadowdrop like Tetris 99.
It was one of the best games of last year.
I could see something along that line coming this year too, but I wouldn't bet on it.
30 mins till the dream of the january general direct is officially dead. Excited for financial results and for February!
Considering last year we got Assassin's Creed III, III Liberation, Black Flag and Rogue, does anyone else expect The Ezio Collection for this year?
In all seriousness, even if technically there's a chance, nothing is happening, we would know by now. Not a single fake 4chan or reddit leak, no twitter prophet saying a direct is coming, insiders are dead silent, nothing is happening and I bet it won't be next week either.
Time to change vote, yes. We lost.

Today would be the last day for a January direct. Nothing stopping a Wednesday announcement for Thursday, as has been in the past.
Not that I'm expecting it though.
Let's not pretend that TMS is a major release. Saving Tokyo with the power of jpop is really as niche as it gets.
If Nintendo had released 3D World in January, far less people would be complaining about the weak early 2020.

I think we've only ever had two general Directs in January. It's not their usual pattern.
EDIT: Yeah we've only ever gotten a general Direct in January in 2013 and 2015.
When was the nearest Direct last year?? Is there some chronological list of all Directs online somewhere? EDIT - Yes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Direct#List_of_presentations
