I predict Pikmin 3 will be titled and marketed as a straight port, like Tropical Freeze and Captain Toad, instead of getting a DX or other subtitle. Even if there is new content.
We aren't sure of anything. Just something direct related is related to the number 13. that's all he really said. I'd guess one of those two things will happen on the 13th thoughAre we sure that the 13th is definitely when the Direct airs, not when it's announced?
It's missing Captain Falcon Space Adventures. That's the main reason it's fake.That list clearly read Zell's post every other game is a safe bet. Don't expect every single game to show up (and yes it is fake)
That tooIt's missing Captain Falcon Space Adventures. That's the main reason it's fake.
No I meant its possible development was restarted and it still could be coming soon.
I stopped at "A source close and reliable gave me this information".
Why would they announce it as a 2020 title alongside announcing Pikmin 3, a 2019 title, though?
Smart man.I stopped at "A source close and reliable gave me this information".
I stopped at 4chan.orgI stopped at "A source close and reliable gave me this information".
I think so too. I'm not expecting much new content from this port. All of the DLC will be included, they'll make the Secret Files viewable without an internet browser, and maybe they'll just slide in those Pikmin CG shorts. Maybe a few minor changes or some form of easy mode beyond those.I predict Pikmin 3 will be titled and marketed as a straight port, like Tropical Freeze and Captain Toad, instead of getting a DX or other subtitle.

Even if someone else would take a day off for a Direct who are you to tell them they are not allowed to do that or even worse tell them that something is wrong with them?
It's none of your business, period.
Bold of Nintendo to start promoting Box Boy and Animal Crossing without titles, too.
Why is no one talking about the real dream game: Mario Strikers 3
It's been too long since the last time we got crotch chopping Waluigi
it's not true.
Where are the true OG Daisy fans that were there since Mario Land?I feel like Mario Strikers is responsible for the Daisy fanbase
The less vocal part, maybe.I feel like Mario Strikers is responsible for the Daisy fanbase
How is that awful? The game's budget wasn't as high as a console entryI think ALBTW sold like 2 million copies, which is awful for a Zelda game. Total shame because it was a great game.
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.Why is no one talking about the real dream game: Mario Strikers 3

You know that the leak is fake by "Super Nintendo games - Available Now"
Nah, Nintendo aint gonna release SNES games untill this summer.
The wonder from down under ladies and gentlemen. This is a good post and one to remember for the next few hours.Or in short; none of us actually know a Direct is going to be announced for the 13th, or on the 13th. We're reason to believe it given consistency of current leakers, but it's not proof. If it doesn't happen, bummer, but so be it.
Mario Strikers is the best Mario sports series. Would love to see a third entry someday.Why is no one talking about the real dream game: Mario Strikers 3
All leaks, including from the reliable to semi-reliable sources here, should be taken with a healthy pinch of salt. Not because of leaker discrediting, but because they're human, and it's most likely that most if not literally all of them are only hearing the information from first and or secondary sources rather than being the source themselves. What I mean by that is it's not that Emily, Zell, and Nate necessarily work for Nintendo and drop stuff from there, but that they just so happen to know some reliable people in position of useful information, or know people who know people in those positions.
It's frustrating when people rally against certain leakers for their ambiguity, or try to pull them up on inaccuracies. Obviously yes, higher strike rates indicate more reliable sources of information, but even those who've had misses have also had, in most cases, a regular assortment of strong hits that can't be just passed off as lucky guesses.
People just need to be reasonable and rational about the stuff they read. They need to accept it's second/third hand information, from a person who likely does not have literal evidence sitting in front of them. This means there's always, and always has been, room for inaccuracy. Sometimes plans change. Sometimes stuff is misheard but in the ballpark. Sometimes they're just plain wrong, because someone passed on something they thought was true yet wasn't.
When Zell, Nate, or Emily say anything pertaining to hints or leaks you should never take it as gospel. Because it's not. It's not an announcement, it's not from Nintendo, it's not a press release. Just be reasonable about it. Rationality warrants interest in those with pretty consistent strike rights (of which these three have actually been pretty on the money regarding Directs and upcoming announcements), but in practice it's still just words on a forum from anonymous users.
Or in short; none of us actually know a Direct is going to be announced for the 13th, or on the 13th. We're reason to believe it given consistency of current leakers, but it's not proof. If it doesn't happen, bummer, but so be it.
We aren't nearing the bottom of the barrel at all. We haven't even gotten half of the Wii U NES VC line-up yet.The strength of the remaining slate is also questionable (yes, we all have our favourites that aren't on it yet, but we are still nearing the bottom of the barrel now I'd say).
They've also started releasing 2 instead of 3 in some markets, which suggests they're low on "stock".
Well I'm personally hoping for SNES games soon (and other Non-Nintendo platforms -> Give me back Wii Virtual Console!), and they could release it soon because of the state of Nintendo Online as of now and the subscription rate reports.Here's an exercise that *could* shed some light on the likely release window of SNES Online.
Compile a list of all the games that were included on the NES Classic Mini in Japan, US and Europe.
Delete all of the duplicates across the 3.
That gives you a list of all the emulated NES games they had for the Classic globally.
Now Delete all of the titles that are currently on Nintendo Switch Online in Japan, US and Europe.
That should leave you with around a dozen games, I reckon.
Nothing is stopping Nintendo from porting other titles that were not on the NES Classic, but given the current trend (we've seen a handful so far) I wouldn't expect a lot more of them. The strength of the remaining slate is also questionable (yes, we all have our favourites that aren't on it yet, but we are still nearing the bottom of the barrel now I'd say).
They've also started releasing 2 instead of 3 in some markets, which suggests they're low on "stock".
Of course, there's no way of knowing their strategy to support NES Online after SNES Online launches... Do they continue to launch NES titles each month, or do they stop and just move onto new SNES games each month? Or do they just go completely random and add the odd one here or there for either platform?
SNES Online could come anytime in reality, but I feel like it's going to be sooner than later given the amount of NES games that are now available. Mario 2 and Kirby were the biggest omissions as we went into 2019, and they're now there too.

Didn't the President of Nintendo already come out and say not a lot of the players subscribe for a year and a lot of people dropped off after one month? In my opinion, releasing SNES games now is still not enough to get people on board for a year. They need to increase online functionality at the system (chat/messaging/etc) level as well as offer snes games.I'd maaaaaybe believe "SNES Online – March 2019." It's the "Available Now" that gets me, since they've already announced the NES games for the month. I don't think we'd get both NES games and the launch assortment of SNES games.
Of course, there's a part of me that thinks that Nintendo absolutely will push SNES Online to September to push for resubs.
