Still, I'm almost as surprised. 6 didn't seem too great to me, and didn't seem to get a very warm welcome.
A re-release/remaster of the first game? I could see an announcement being dropped during Treehouse or something.
Yeah, i didn't like both 5 and 6 but i know i'm i'm in the minority. Forums like these can sometimes give the impression that most fans don't like these games but the sales just don't bear this out.
I was mainly talking about critical reception, but it's true that forum posts are limited when it comes to accurately representing...well, reality, I suppose.

Great Direct.
Certainly bummed about Animal Crossing but..
Luigi's Mansion looks great but I wonder why there wasn't a release date if it's still slated for 2019, especially since all other big releases have a concrete release date. I don't think it's delayed, just seemed weird.
Link's Awakening looks amazing and it's coming much sooner than I expected.
No More Heroes III was nice to see. I'm not huge into the series but I know a lot are and that was a cool surprise.
Banjo in Smash is pretty insane. I just never thought we'd get there.
Breath of the Wild sequel is amazing. It's my favorite game on Switch and it had me pondering a new playthrough on a different profile. I don't really know when it will come. If it uses the same engine, then I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2020, but also wouldn't be surprised if it comes out much later because...Zelda development.
Luigi's Mansion 3, Pokémon Sword / Shield, Mario Maker 2, Link's Awakening..
That's an amazing half-year for me as a Switch owner.

Actually RE5 has the most sales in the franchise, with RE6 second (http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html). So these two games are the top selling RE games, and they were never on a Nintendo platform before. Still not live action trailer worthy imo, but Nintendo might disagree.
- so.... what happened to ori?
- the RE live action trailer was beyond bizzare, a lengthy video of people playing REmake leading to an announcement that could have just been in the reel at the end, like spyro.

I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out what they were doing.
Last year, the post E3 reveals were much better than the (very poor) E3 showing. While I do not expect a perfectly similar scaling between both years, there are probably other significant surprises for 2019 which we still haven't heard of. Nintendo seems to be comfortable releasing 3-4 games within one month and that's great.
That E3 was their best direct since the Switch was introduced and it's not even close.

Can you remind me which post-E3 reveals we got last year again?
Warframe, Civilization, Katamari, Into the fucking Breach, and probably others that I'm forgetting. Doom Eternal or Wolfenstein were also confirmed for Switch during July if I recall; during E3, we still didn't know wether they would come to Switch or not. I remember the September direct to be much better than their E3 direct.
I see. Yeah, the September Direct definitely was a lot beter than the E3 one last year. I think you're right about at least Wolfenstein (although I believe it did leak as a listing right after the unveiling at E3). Doom Eternal was announced in August iirc, so you're right, there.
We'll see how the rest of this year shapes out. We have a ton to look forward to this year as opposed to last year, so that makes things a lot more relaxed.
I still think that Dark Souls 2 will release on Switch before the end of the year, and will be part of the next direct in September or October.
But honestly, even if nothing get's announced between now to February, there will still be games releasing for almost everyone on the system.

Anything could release on switch tbh
It doesnt even have to be in the september direct. There could be a seperate announcement like we saw for diablo 3
AH yes, and I forgot that Diablo 3 was also announced last year a few months after E3!
I'm sure we'll have even more games announced and released before the end of the year, and potentially big ones. Which will make the empty first half of 2019 even weirder in a hindsight.
I feel like with how little we had seen of Animal Crossing up until yesterday, March 2020 is not even close to the worst it could have been. I was fully prepared for generic 2020 which would have meant summer at the earliest in most cases. Still getting it out in fiscal 2019 is great and gives the platform momentum going in to the first half of a year for the first time since launch. AC is going to occupy a ton of my time when it comes out and having to put aside a bunch of games I buy in the fall for it would have been rough. Totally okay with them making a great game and it taking a few months longer to get it done. Plenty to play on Switch this fall.
Meh, their games no longer have any challenge in them whatsoever. I never felt like I was stuck in LM2 and it took me a handful of tries to beat the "final gauntlet" in Odyssey. Every dungeon and puzzle shrine in Zelda treated you like it was your first. The LM3 Gooigi sections looked like puzzles intended for babies to solve. In the Fire Emblem clips all they show is anime garbage instead of actual gameplay because they know their audience. Animal Crossing is a franchise that has no gameplay whatsoever and was the premier 1st party game they showcased in the Direct. I don't need to explain how much of a joke Kirby and Yoshi games are these days. This is the harsh reality. No, Nintendo is no longer "about gameplay", those times are long gone. The Octo Expansion is the only thing that offers a decent amount of challenge and mechanical involvment. Have people here forgotten about games like Tropical Freeze? Heck, even Nintendo Land felt almost impossible to 100%, but I did it after 120 hours of enduring frustration and it felt so good. Getting Perfect Score in all of the Rhythm Heaven DS minigames was such an incredibly satisfying gameplay experience. That Nintendo is gone, and noone cares.
I need to find my image, but I did get stuck under the floor of one of the Boss battles in LM2.
At this point, I'm fully convinced that the Switch won't get anything running on the RE Engine (and while this is purely speculation, I don't think I've ever noticed a game with the RE Engine use dynamic resolution, so that could be why).
They showed off Dark Samus, Chrom, Richter and a Link's Awakening amiibo yesterday
If they didnt care about gameplay then why are Astral chain, NMH3 or daemon x machina exclusives?
And about fire emblem, maybe us fans just want to learn a bit more about story and confirm If the leak is true. I'm sure we'll see more gameplay today or tomorrow during the treehouse.
Yeah I know but I was expecting new Amiibo other than the Smash ones (Link looks awesome).
I hope they announce new Fire Emblem Amiibo for the Fire Emblem line, a Travis Touchdown Amiibo, etc. I want more!
I said a few weeks before that Astral Chain was low key my most anticipated game of the year. I really liked what I saw yesterday, I hope that this and Bayonetta won't be the last collaboration of Nintendo with Platinum; specifically, daddy needs his Viewtiful Joe 3. Those games may not sell very well, but I'm sure that they do contribute a lot in the image of a console, and hence indirectly bring more sales.
Same goes for NHM, those are important game to have (and to have as exclusives even more, when most 3rd parties still skip the Switch).

Astral chain will be out by then so I hope we see some bayo 3 gameplay.
Its kinda weird how we've only seen one platinum games title despite them saying they'll be making multiple announcements this year.
Super Mario games have never been hard.
Breathe of the Wild was probably the most difficult Zelda to beat to date if you consider the overall difficulty level and not individual frustrating dungeons.
Animal Crossing has TONS of gameplay. The fact that you don't like it doesn't make it less of a game.
LM3 Gameplay looks absolutely stunning.
Calling Fire Emblem anime carbage pretty much sums up your post, you don't like something, ergo carbage.
Tropical Freeze was a masterpiece. Absolute gem. Switch hasn't had anything by Nintendo like that... except of course Tropical Freeze.
While I'm still very excited for the game (it's a rare day-1'er for me), I do agree the graphics are fairly underwhelming, at least from what I've seen in the wild area. The textures looks especially bad and something about the character facial animations (particularly fans cheering in the stands during gym battles) feel creepily off.
I guess the reason there isn't exactly an uproar about this (and the reason I'm still excited for it anyway, despite the graphics) is that those components never really meant all that much to me given what I've been used to on the GB-GBA-DS games (I haven't played the 3DS ones). I just want another Pokemon adventure.
Yesterday they said they'd show FE in the Treehouse the next day. I'll bet we'll see some gameplay just like all the other featured games.
They're opening the Treehouse with FE (in roughly one hour and a half).
I truly believe BOTW 2 and Bayonetta 3 will be 2020 games. Pikmin 4 is vaporware until they show it. Metroid Prime 4 is 2021 at least.
Definitely.
Was Retro working on Pikmin 4 and it's now been cancelled!?
Ok thanks :). I was absolutely sure of it too. Except that someone had questioned me hahaha
Do we know which games will be shown in Treehouse Live today?
In most cases I am not one to turn down additional/better features in a game. However what you're suggesting clearly isn't something the developer or the fanbase holds in high regard since it hasn't happened and the games are still selling like crazy.
My predictions on 2020-2021 releases:
2020:
SPRING- Animal Crossing (confirmed)
SPRING - Mario Golf (September Direct reveal)
FALL - Bayonetta 3 (will be revealed in September or during VGA)
FALL - Pikmin 4 (March reveal)
WINTER- Super Mario Odyssey 2 (revealed during VGA)
2021:
SPRING - Mario Kart 9
SUMMER - Paper Mario
SUMMER - Xenoblade Sequel
FALL - Breath of the Wild 2
WINTER - Metroid Prime 3
2021 gonna be lit

He seemed tired and disinterested. Said there were barely any big reveals.
