For giggles I took a look at the ERA thread for that direct. Some bad meltdowns regarding Metroid Prime Trilogy and others calling it horrible, but the vibe was fairly upbeat.
Nintendo Direct 2.13.2019 (2PM PST/ 5PM EST / 10PM GMT) - 35 mins with news on Fire Emblem Three Houses
"Pls save my game, nintendo!"

Reactions start on page 96 (192 for 50 post folks)
I'm taking F-Zero, though a brand new Fire Emblem game that takes place in the FE6/7 universe (what I'd assume given Lyn on the cover there and the fact that it says it's a new game) is immensely tempting, doubly so if it's mechanically similar to those games. Jeez I didn't realize how much I want that.
Yeah things can change. Covid or chip shortages are still a thing you know.
For now I trust Bloomberg and Emily and believe that we'll see it this year. Like always just never get hyped up to much for stuff that is not 100% certain.
Just ignore and report the drive-bys. There's been enough discussion (including a staff post) for there not to be any excuse anymore.
I really liked the direct on September 13th of 2018, it started and ended off sooo strong, I had always been wanting to try out Luigi's mansion but I never had a gamecube or 3ds so when they announced Luigi's mansion 3 I was so hyped to finally try it out, and it was indeed a great game and it looked fabulous too. and then they ended it off with the double reveal of Isabelle in smash, which I didn't really care about, BUT THEN THERE WAS A BRAND NEW ANIMAL CROSSING! I hadn't played an animal crossing game since wild world so the fact that I could jump back into a brand new HD game of it was so excited, and I really enjoyed new horizons, it helped me out quite a lot throughout quarantine.
This is hard. I guess I'd go with DK. Mario Kart 9 would be fun, but 8 is infinitely replayable and still a lot of fun after hundreds of hours. Platforming levels get stale after a while of playing the same ones over and over again, so I'd rather have a new DK than a new Mario Kart.
My friends, is there life after MonHun?
So many factors at play here but I gotta go with Kid Icarus just on the off chance that it's directed by Sakurai again.

Only two so far. Less than expected. Who knew being transparent and providing an update would anger so many people. And I didn't even dismiss the other reports. They could all be accurate. Solely state that I've seen enough new information on my end to no longer believe the timeline I had given was accurate.
Sad state of affair if the industry has fallen this far when an update is viewed as a negative.
This is why so many ignore, pretend nothing happened and go forward. Because there's no value in being open.
I'm a huge Mario Kart fan and Mario Kart 8 has been out for 7 years, I'm completely starved so I would Definitely pick Mario Kart 9
I believe Pokémon presentations have usually been one week before the E3 direct so there's still time. Though it is weird how they revealed the release dates. They've already shown the games so I doubt they'd hold back now.
Bayonetta 3 would be super exciting, but the pro matters very little to me. If the games are there, the Pro can come whenever.
I'm looking forward to a lot of that even though I'm really not into any of those franchises yet. Zelda is all I really want and everything else would be a bonus to me. I never really expect much so every direct is a treat.
yeah, this. E3 is so close and there's gonna be so many great announcements (both for switch and other platforms). i don't get why people can get so fixated about a revision rather than just enjoying and focusing on what we already have. it happens when it happens.
+1 can't wait to hear Nate tell me Metroid is coming
Seath is the final boss
Pikmin 4 for me. 3 was so good and imagine what it could look like on the Pro.
That's the spirit. I share your optimism. (and I like me some NBA representation lol)
Kid Icarus. It and F-Zero feel like the least likely to ever happen. Uprising was an incredible game and I feel there's so much potential for more in that universe.
1. Donkey Kong
2. Star Fox
3. F-Zero
4. Pikmin 4
My real #1 is Punch-Out!!
There is value in being open. It's just those that value it are often the silent majority. There are many who appreciate the updates that yourself and other reputable insiders provide.
Those first two sentences are depressing.
Once again thank you for all that you provide.
We can send letters of appreciation as a counter measure to the negativity. I appreciate all the info you give us, it's really fun to wait for your response and listen to your podcasts!
Was reading the comments in Nate's thread and I feel bad and ashamed. Some people really take this stuff too seriously.
Sorry you have to go through this Nate.
Can't wait for your podcast next week. Keep it up!

I feel like Mario Kart has peaked at 8Deluxe, IMO. Same for 3D Mario with Odyssey.
I want to see either a 3D Donkey Kong or 3D Kirby next. F-Zero would be fantastic too, though.

I'm sorry you have to put up with so much shit, Nate. I hope you know the vast majority of us here appreciate you.
This may sound boomer-y but I really blame the nature of the internet for that. It reveals the most cynical side of some people.
However, it's a minority, even if it is a very vocal and aggressive one. I'm sure that the vast majority of people on here and the ones following you on Twitter don't have a problem with what happened at all. Even if they would, it's nothing that anyone should judge really. Looking forward to E3! I hope we're seeing Nintendo's big ol' ape return.
Final warning- drop the whinging about insiders
Hi all.
Ive updated the thread reply banner as seemingly nobody reads threadmarked staff posts.
Please drop the metacommentary complaining about insiders when plans are all over the place and we are lucky to have them. Failure to observe this rule here will result in being banned from era for the duration of E3, it just clogs up and derails the thread and does nobody any good. If your only contribution to this community on era is to make a driveby post and complain that you hyped yourself up and are now disappointed, please reconsider.
Thanks.

The problem is that most people don't follow closely those rumors as many people in this thread do and propably don't even know that there were several reports/inside infos which had not always the same sources. Most just heard Switch is happening before E3 over last weekend and are now concentrating their hate on one indivdual like you, just because you try to be as transparent as possible.
Edit: Oh and any death threat is to much. What a bunch of assholes.

Now the discussion turns back to: why would Nintendo release such a revision this year, with all these shortages? Unless they really want a paper launch for some bizarre reason, or if they have somewhat been able to circumvent the problem (if so, they could really teach Sony and Microsoft a lesson here)...
From I've seen from Twitter its more about throwing doubt about everything else associated with the Switch revision and questioning your credibility on what's been reported so far. It's either all true or all lies so some people.
Good lord, people are garbage. You owe us nothing and you never had any reason to lie. If you wanted to mislead people, you could have waited until the last day before E3 to say anything but you're being transparent even though there's technically still a chance your original belief could be correct. And people act like you've kidnapped their families.
This is the impossible question, as I just want Nintendo to make games in all of these franchises. Trying to narrow it down, Star Fox, F-Zero, and Kid Icarus all deserve to be my #1 pick. If I really had to choose just one, the answer would be F-Zero. It's been so long since the last game, and a modern F-Zero would be more unique than it has ever been in Nintendo's catalog now that Mario Kart is the only new racing game they seem to make anymore
My guess is that they don't want to make the same mistake that they did during the Wii era.
At this point I'm pretty sure it will be an on paper launch. I think it's inevitable.
Strange that this seems to be a gaming (and other branches) related thing. I didn't see a company like Apple being dramatically affected by the shortages.
That's, needless to say, absolutely terrible. Thank you for being part of this community and thank you for what ever you share with us. Rumors, podcasts, weekend plans. Anything.
Apple is also affected but not to the same degree as other companies
Apple is less affected because they're given priority over everyone else due to the size of the contracts.
Have you ever used Dimitri with Battalion Wrath + Battalion Vantage? Absolutely broken
