And then they announce a Silent Hill collection for Switch? They'll just call it a Direct.
I know with no E3 Nintendo isn't beholden to do a direct at that time, on the other hand, the yearly Treehouse 3 day streams are pretty informative and a very good way to get info out about upcoming titles with lots of hands on stuff. Also, I reckon with no E3 they may do something bigger at the end of the year for TGA.
I want the Switch (or the Switch line) to be the ultimate Nintendo platform. So...
Bring on the new games
Bring on the ports
Bring on the remakes

Nintendo Direct thread predictions
"Bad Direct I don't care about *insert game franchise*"
"Game X will be delayed I just know it will be"
"That trailer looked like a 3DS game graphically"
"Not enough new games. Anyway where's Metroid Prime Trilogy, that would've made it exciting"

March Nintendo Direct in the works with focus on 2020 lineup (update)
A March Nintendo Direct is in the process of coming together, and the company could debut the video event on March 26 if everything goes as planned.venturebeat.com
Looks like people trust Venture Beat.
I don't necessarily trust Venture Best but I trust ZhugeEX who retweeted the article talking about a March Direct. Zhuge's retweet is like Jim Dalrymple's "Yep" everytime he confirms an Apple event is happening. :)
Is it too much to ask for both a Switch port of SMT IV and SMT V news?
This is where I'm at, also really hope it's real just so Nintendo breaks another pattern.
Ya I suppose I meant remaster. Not being able to play such a meaty JRPG on the big screen just kills me lol.
Yeah, I think so.
If they bothered to port SMT IV to the Switch, it would most likely also mean SMT V is still even further out than I thought.
E3 being most likely cancelled is a massive shame. I hope they find a different way to air a Nintendo Treehouse.
I'd assume they stream it from their offices.
Should even be more convenient for them in comparison to flying out to LA for E3. They could still invite devs for the segments.
Ya, you're not wrong, but maybe they could have shopped the remaster out to some other developer. A man can dream.
Yes I do too and I'm hoping for a return.I don't know about y'all, but this is all I care about for the next direct
Maybe some internal statistic that shows her being popular? I always thought the babies were more popular than people give them credit for.
Count me inI don't know about y'all, but this is all I care about for the next direct
Somewhere DKCFan is screaming in protest. Also noticed the M for Mature lolI don't know about y'all, but this is all I care about for the next direct
If this is the dream for you, i think you're going to feel right at home in Doom Eternal. You should check it out! ;]
because they need to present their game for Q3/Q4 especially after this Q1/Q2
After what Q1/Q2? The one where they released
I doubt bigger publishers are going to suffer from the seemingly inevitable death of E3. We have seen Microsoft, EA and Sony doing their own thing outside of E3 to a varying degree for a few years now. Hypothetically, Nintendo can do the same. I doubt a cancellation of E3 means Nintendo won't find another way to do their Treehouse segments.
After what happened last year, I doubt the press is going to shed a tear over E3, either. They can just as easily be invited to seperate publisher's press events.
It might be more impactful for smaller publishers, but they might find a suitable replacement in PAX. And sure, it sucks for the average Joe who loved going to E3, but it is what it is.

VentureBeat's "expect lots of ports" seems more like speculation based on Nintendo's existing habit of porting most of the Wii U slate over to Switch rather than solid information - especially given the prior sentence says Nintendo's first party line-up is something of a mystery.
I'd expect a mix. Ports of Pikmin 3 and Super Mario 3D World join the existing port of TMS. Remake of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is joined by the remaster of Xenoblade and the remake of Detective Club (which is basically a new game). Maybe we get Metroid Prime Trilogy or another Wii U port earlier than we're expecting - if we've got 6 or 7 ports and remakes across 2020, that's around half of the retail titles Nintendo will publish this year (expect 12 minimum, 16 maximum). Emily did say while she expected 2020 to be strong, her one concern was that Nintendo would lean a little on ports and remasters - but that there should be new stuff to balance it out.
Let's say new 2D Metroid, Paper Mario, Bayonetta 3 and Zelda hit 2020. That brings us to 5/6 new titles depending on your region (AC and Brain Training). I don't see that being all Nintendo have for the year. I'd expect a couple more new games, too. Something from EPD 9 and maybe even a videogame to tie in to Lego Super Mario and we're up to 7/8 new titles, 6/7 ports/remakes, plus whichever third party games Nintendo publish alongside Bravely Default 2. That puts us in the right ballpark for the year - 14 to 16 retail titles.

So I don't want to sound like a doom and gloomer but what are the chances this corona virus (stupid name btw) pushes every game to a later date? Outside of digital only games of course. With E3 cancelled I can't imagine it's not affecting gaming development.
Wait E3 is dying? I assumed it was only this year, because of the virus.
You genuinely didn't believe me?
Putting you on ignore.
Printing out your posts to burn in protest.
E:
What Venturebeat thread?
E2:
Found it. So they're really waiting until after AC. That's one brain-dead marketing strategy really. Also having pretty much everything but a general Direct in the meantime surely doesn't help.
First, you're in for a scold from me because you a) don't have it yet, and b) waited for a sale.
Then, you're in for a pretty fucking hard but awesome platformer.

Damn, E3 was the one time we could rely on Nintendo to deliver a Direct. Now we go through the last three months of madness all over again.
i'm sorry! it's been so long with no direct that i just assume everyone is joking about them.
a fantastic game. DO IT!
I've seen people float the notion that once it's cancelled for this year, it might be gone for good. It has been declining in the last few years anyway with publishers doing their own stuff.
It's all speculation, though.
I personally won't miss E3 like at all. Nowadays it isn't even one of the 5 biggest gaming conventions, if I recall correctly. Putting so much emphasis on it seemed somewhat unnecessary to me for the last few years already.
That is if the cancellation really happens and has a significant impact on the event's standing in the coming years. Maybe all will just go on as usual next year, who knows...

honestly... most publishers don't really needs E3 anymore, specially nintendo. smaller publishers of course have a lot to gain from it but i think even for them they should realize that it'd be better and cheaper to go for digital presentations and demos and start creating hype around them. i've seen annapurna for example talking about the possibility of doing something like the direct format for their game announcements and trailers.
edit: and E3 seemed to be headed into a messy direction anyway with all the celebrity and "influencer" stuff they were talking about.
