Basically like last year?

Basically like last year?
Yeah. Sounds about right. The big opener and closer are usually further out than everything else. I expect we'll see whatever the holiday game is in those slots.
Last year they started with Super Mario Maker 2 and ended with Astral Chain and Links Awakening.
This year I see a possible combination of 2D Metroid, Paper Mario RPG and BotW 2 in the beginning and end. If no BotW 2 is the holiday title then they will announce the holiday title being Mario Kart of some kind most likely.
Actually I could see Bayonetta 3 in place of 2D Metroid or Paper Mario and one of those saved for E3 (most likely 2D Metroid). lets say 2D Metroid and Paper Mario are coming this year. I'm more confident in Nintendo announcing Paper Mario in this direct than 2D Metroid - if I had to pick one
Pikmin 3, 3D World, XenoblaDE, third party games, etc will be in between

Add July and August too. E3 usually covers fall and early next year, so empty summer months should be filled somewhere. In early 2019 we had lots of games dated for both July and and August, as of now we don't have many for 2020 summer, so I expect lots of summer games to be revealed at the Direct.
I imagine people who hate Animal Crossing to the point of wanting it to bomb hard are going to be very annoyed during the upcoming months because that game is going to get talked about A LOT around here. At least personally I plan to--unless it somehow ends up sucking, which I strongly doubt it will.
(tho I guess they won't have it as bad as the people who hate Smash with a passion, because that game is going to get talked about for years to come).

I have a sinking feeling you might be right, I really hope otherwise.
You don't like Bayonetta 3 and PM shown here with 2D Metroid possibly saved for later?

I mean the media who goes to E3 aren't gonna be able to give the Bayo diehards who hated 2 because the combat wasn't as deep what they want.
these are the same people that gave Bayo 2 the highest scores that year. We won't know until the game releases unless platinum does a deep dive themselves in a dedicated direct
Oh no I love Bayo and PM, I'd be hyped as f*ck. It just means I'll have to wait until June to get rid of Geoff
With E3 being more public than ever there would be a chance for action game diehards to try it out.
Yeah even if we don't get BOTW2; getting Bayo 3, NMH3, PM and Metroid 5 will make this hands down the best year of switch for me
*Edit - forgot Silksong and Axiom Verge 2, gosh darn I'm going to be broke in H2
Bayonetta 2 impressions at E3 2013 were universally positive. The same will be the case for Bayonetta 3 impressions, whether it's more like the first game or more like its sequel.
Bayo 2 is amazing btw. One of the best games of this generation.
I don't like fire emblem at all and find it obnoxious, yet would never hope the series dies because I know it has fans.
Are Ring Fit Adventure and Wii Sports made by the same EPD Group? Or should we be expecting a game from the latter team this year?
We already know bayo3 is happening for sure. I want the two games that are just rumored to be revealed.
Voted "Last week of January" in the poll only because I was Team January originally and want to be consistent lol
I'm not trying to be shady but it's an interesting question: is bayo 2 counted as current gen or last gen 🤔
current gen because it's on the latest iteration of Nintendo consoles
I went Blue Lions and I thought it was great. I'm savin GD for later, tho, so I couldn't compare them.
I consider Wii U and Switch as part of the same generation, which is probably a controversial viewpoint to hold.
Same. Of course I want the new games to be revealed here and not until E3, but I have to be realistic. I don't think they'll announce everything here for what's coming the entire year. I know they did that last year, but I think they have more games coming this year they might save 1 or 2 for E3 like 2D Metroid. Paper Mario I think they'd want to show in this direct because that's a great announcement to make it's returning to form in the first direct.
zippo already saw the direct. Jk
Not that controversial, it is difficult to definitively say that Switch is "next gen" when it came out three and half years before the competitors
I'm a longer reader; first time post. Please be gentle.
I like this Doctre fellow - knowledgeable and on top of it. He posted a video and I agree with the premise: the Direct will be a counter to the PS5 rumored announcement event, which is expected in early Feb. I know that many people believe that Nintendo is going to be Nintendo and do their Nintendo thing. But the company is under different leadership now, and if one believes Emily, they are aggressive Nintendo. I hope this is true. That they will play chess all year long with the other companies. Should be fun to watch.
I guess it depends on if it's a remake or new game. I think metroid 5 would be revealed more than just a couple months before launch.
I'm playing Super Metroid for the first time (taking advantage of my Nintendo Switch Online subscription).
Using an analog stick is not ideal for this game, but I'm managing alright.
Kraid was super annoying. I'll admit to using the rewind feature to get past him.
Ugh. Apple arcade exclusive- that sucks. I hope it comes to other platforms eventually. I adored Rayman Origins and it's one of my favorite games.
Golden Deer! It will explain more of the background story that you didn't get in Crimson Flower.

Golden Deer, if only to put more time between that and Silver Snow. Those two routes are way too similar.
@ing me with this non-game mobile filth lolHe was in Mario Kart Tour, though!
It looks to me like Nintendo actually values Diddy very much. $39.99 USD, to be exact!
sadly this is the best us DKfans are gonna get. i was holding out hope for a while for a third retro title (return of kremlings, second trilogy like poetry it rhymes ETC ), but im pretty sure that ship has sailed. sad. what the hell retro, what have you been doing all these years??
They were working on games that probably had rocky development and cancelled.
I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily, but it depends on how you define a generation. Also "generations" are arbitrary at this point, it's no longer the difference between 8-bit to 16-bit and so on. I'd say a more accurate description of a generation nowadays is a significantly different new hardware with brand new games designed for that new hardware, in that sense Switch is Gen 9.
*edit - What is the current gen to you 8 or 9?
I think it's a tricky one because the Switch is an entry in a handheld and console generation. It's in a category all on its own at this point.
