And for what it's worth: Team Third Party Exclusive technically won. It's the Team Nothing that lost out, thanks to Bravely Default II.

Nintendo at The Game Awards: The Bet Thread
- Thread starter Jimmy Joe
- Start date
January Direct needs to be huge now, 2020 line-up is feeling strangely dry now. Most of already announced 2020 titles are still in very early development stage with few exceptions. I don't think we'll see MP4, Bayo 3, BOTW2, SMTV, etc., anytime soon. I hope Nintendo don't become heavily dependent over Animal Crossing for next years' first half.
mark my words, botw 2 will be delayed a la the first. the announcement was too early. remember when they announced bayonetta 3? where's that thing? how about prime 4? we all know how that turned out. nintendo has had more then a few instances of announcing games too early, including the first botw. a delayed game is eventually good yada yada etc
Wait, people actually thought Breath of the Wild 2 would turn up? LMAO. It probably won't even be at the next Nintendo Direct.
I mean, Smash DLC is due end of February so we're definitely getting some sort of direct before then.
If there's no January Direct then probably something is wrong.
I can't believe I gave in to blind fanboy hype when I knew deep down they wouldn't show BotW2 until E3 2020 at the earliest. :(
The real shocker was no Smash announcement tbh.
Well, at least the January Direct is sure to be pretty good.

Smash DLC is Feb, Animal Crossing in March...I'm gonna bet there's a January Direct as my final answer.
I fought. I lost. Now I rest.
I can't believe I have to wear this damn thing during Rise of Skywalker week.

Thx so much... XDas the maker of the original losers' avatar I am proud to present you with this custom limited edition avatar
Welp, lost the Zelda 2, half-won the third party exclusive. My specific pick of a new Sidebar Games title got announced, but uh - two days early. So yeah, see you in a few weeks, Mark of the Wolves avatar.
NMH 3
Also suspect both of those League games will end up on Switch, particularly the Airship Syndicate turn-based RPG.
Yeah, along with Xenoblade 2 !
It's easy to take a random example and make it be the rule.
Might come in 2020, might not, we'll see.
They have games for 2020 ! Secret games! We're gonna have at least 1 game a month ! Merging of the outputs !
At this point, it safer to bet on tweets that come out of nowhere (a la RFA) than events.
No zelda - ok
3rd party Exclusive - ok
First Party game - dammit > <
yes No Breath of the Wild
yes DLC for an Existing Game
yes Third Party Exclusive
no smash dlc
no metroid
no bayo
no smt
no first party reveal
no nothing
Funny thing only one person voted for DLC for an existing game being Marvel Ultimate Alliance ... and was a COWARD

Don't be silly, they've never announced a ton of new games at The Game Awards. Last year we only got Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 in terms of new announcements as well, so it's not like going from Ultimate Alliance last year to Bravely Default 2 this year is some kind of huge decline.

My friends, you courageous who put your avatars on the line and who lost! If you have been tagged on this post, then you know why I called you!
Some of you bet on the inevitability of Breath of the Wild 2! Some believe in the return of Bayonetta! Some of you thought there would be a new first party exclusive! Some of you believed there would be nothing.
Here, HERE! The full list of things from Nintendo at the Game Awards:
- DLC for Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- A trailer for the existing game No More Heroes 3
- The reveal of Bravely Default 2
And that covers it. The vast, vast majority of us lose. Here is your new face!
Some of you are already wearing it. Some of you are not. Some of you are banned and can't be tagged for various reasons, but whatever!
Wear this avatar until the end of the next full Nintendo Direct. Not Smash Direct, not Indie Direct, not Sakurai Stream. Nintendo Direct.
And sound off! Let's see everyone wearing these proudly!
I started this thread by suggesting that, in betting on Nintendo's particular participation in the Game Awards, we would be trying to predict The Most Impossible Thing. Little did we know.
It has been an honor to believe alongside all of you; it will be an honor to wear a silly avatar alongside all of you.

It's all right. You can still be right after the fact without having made the bet! No one will be able to tell the difference.

Is there any variations of this? I got the "no zelda 2" right so it feels wrong to wear it saying zelda 2 xD

I believe Raccoon has posted a few variations throughout the thread; you can feel free to grab one of those. The Zelda 2 text is just there since that's what really started the thread in the first place.
I mean chances are that games like Ori 2 will reach the switch one day but trully switch announcements was only 1 new game and a dlc since no more heroes 3 were already known
