Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT|
- Thread starter Kevin360
- Start date

We only have one game with a concrete date, being in March. Unless a mini direct announces multiple new first party titles and details release dates for most of the other ones announced, H1 would almost definitely be pretty sparse. I don't think we'll get a mini direct, though.
Congratulations mate! Best wishes and may your marriage be a happy one with memories to look back on fondly!
+ Assasin's Creed / Spyro leaks and Hollow Knight's paid expansion reveal
It's not the fastest selling Nintendo game ever, it's the fastest selling Nintendo home console game ever.
Sun/Moon still have Ultimate beat at 14.xx million units in its first quarter.
Even better - Metroid Dread: The one Kraid is in but not Ridley, suck it space pterodactyl!
(I don't have anything against Ridley really, it's just that Kraid deserves better)
Ultimate hasn't even been out for a quarter yet. It's barely been out 2 months
Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey both deserve direct sequels.
Between those and a new Paper Mario returning to TTYD roots, 2020 has the chance to be the best Nintendo year... EVER

Sure. Sun/Moon didn't have that much longer though, just an extra three weeks.
You know it'd be cool if Nintendo did mini Treehouses after Directs. They did one after the Smash Direct. It'd be cool if they did a Treehouse after General Directs
A direct has never looked more likely before an official announcement.
And Breath of the Wild was supposedly almost done in 2015... They delayed but the original plan was to release that year.
If and when a Breath of the Wild sequel launches, I will call in sick from literally everything else in my entire life for two months
If they use the same engine, largely the same assets and focus mainly on dungeon building, side quests and world building it's totally possible.
I think the biggest development/time cost in BOTW was getting their physics engine and the open air concept down.
Every 3D Zelda (except *maybe* MM) has had development issues.
I've been holding out for the Switch version. Curious how well it'll perform though given how much it's got going on.
I have to imagine preproduction on a sequel was started alot earlier than we think, considering it was originally targeting a 2015 date, then delayed further for the switch day and date.
Oh, thanks for that correction, but Smash's sales hadn't even been recorded for a month at that point. That's also not talking into consideration the age and install base of both the 3DS and Switch. They're very hard to compare.
I think the next goal will be to make original games for each franchise that has been ported. Such as mario kart, dkc, 2d mario, etc. There are a lot of games still to be made, especially if you don't include the wii u ports.
EDIT: Also, the rumored games are to be announced this year, not necessarily released.
so true but yet i don't think crash team racing has been announced for pc yet.
Hold on, are there rumours about a new Paper Mario returning to its roots?
If so, I'm not sure I could handle the hype.
Welcome! You picked a better time to join than I did (January last year) so it won't be THAT crazy.
When the the Direct is announced it will get a new topic. This topic will be on pause in the meantime n
Thanks! Really looking forward to the craziness tomorrow morning
Nope, it will be 3.5 years (will probably be a 2020 holiday title) and Aonuma said that he wanted to put out zelda games faster.
Also, all that games had troubled developements that caused multiple delays. (I even have a theory that BOTW got rebooted in 2015 lol, but thats another story)
Mario & Sonic at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, 2D Metroid, Wii Fit/Brain Training/Wii Sports, Style Savvy, Nintendogs, a Pokemon remake (DPPt please), Captain Toad 2, Tomodachi Life/Miitopia, Sushi Striker 2, Monolith's medieval action game, WarioWare, Rhythm Heaven, Fatal Frame, Mario Golf, Yo-Kai Watch 4/Bravely/Hyrule Warriors 2 western publishing, new IP.
EDIT: Not suggesting next ywar would have all those + what you said, just some possibilities.
Breath of the Wild's physics engine took some time to develop. There is no exact data around AFAIK but it seems like it took almost half of development time just developing the engine. I guess making a new one wouldn't really be worth it right now. I'm personally interested in what kind of Zelda style are they going to go for next. Return of the Toon Link? Young Link? Keeping Cell shaded Link? New one?
I wonder if they will be able to get close or even reach this kind of fidelity on the next game with a Switch only title or on a possible Switch Pro version:
I don't think so but I might be wrong!
2020 doesn't seem unlikely like a Zelda delay doesn't seem unlikely LOL
For some reason I never even thought of Nintendo possibly releasing a sequel to Captain Toad.
And now I'm hyped.
Ugh.
And now I'm hyped.
Ugh.
True. I honestly don't know which version to go with haha! I'd be fine with either to be honest!
Oh dang you're right! I was gonna get that one for Switch anyways but you have a point about no PC version.
No no no, please dont get your hopes up
Keyword in my post was chance
Still though, they made 3D Mario open and explorative again, and they made Mario Party a board game again as well. There's a tiny glimmer of hope that Nintendo may be thinking the same way for the Paper Mario series, after the giant backlash that came with Color Splash's reveal
