I'd be inclined to side with you here if Mario Maker 2 wasn't coming out in June. No Direct before E3 means we don't see any Mario Maker outside of that shortish trailer until a week or two before release. That just seems unlikely to me.
There was never any reason to believe something Switch related would be at that event. It was weird that people were talking about it as though it was a sure thing. Same with the Sonic one.
Nope, none of the Wii U ports were announced at E3:
I misremembered, ignore me.
They can't get No Man's Sky to run well on the PS4/Xbox, I don't see them managing to get it running at a playable enough framerate to release it on Switch. I'd love to be wrong though.
The Smash Ultimate section of the E3 Direct last year was the first section of a Direct to ever cross 20 minutes, and I think it will stay an exception and not become the rule.
Only last year's E3. The year before had the same wording for SMO yet had only a 3 minute trailer for SMO. There's no pattern here yet. Could they do it? Yes, they could, but I don't think they will for AC. It seems more like a game for which you can focus on many different aspects in short bursts without loss of comprehension (and maybe it even aids comprehension for AC).
Like another user pointed out, Odyssey was the big game of E3 2017 and it only got a 3 minute trailer at the end.
Yeah I edited my post, I was misremembering and thought it took up more but it was Treehouse stuff.
That would be disappointing after that comment a couple of years ago when Miyamoto said Pikmin 4 was almost done. I know he could have been talking about hey Pikmin but I'm sure someone said that was confirmed to not be the game he was talking about. Pikmin 3 is one game I'd consider double dipping on from the WiiU days cos I missed all the DLC. I adore Pikmin.
Yeah, I can see 5-10 minute section for AC, too. But it won't be 25 minutes like Smash imo. Unlike last year, this year has a ton of other big games they can talk about in the direct: Zelda Link's Awakening, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, SSM2, Astral Chain (not big, but they are marketing it very well), and MUA3. This compared to last year where they had Octopath Traveler, XBC2 Torna: the Golden Country, and Super Mario Party. That's a big gulf in terms of appeal, and they can capitalise on this during E3 I think.
It wasn't Hey! Pikmin. Emily said that we haven't heard about Pikmin 4 because it was rebooted since that comment:
Following up on that, Emily said that Pikmin 4 was rebooted at some point, which explains Miyamoto's comments (which were about Pikmin 4, yes).
How are you defining "full reveal trailer" there? Because we seen gameplay of all of those except one
Considering the promixity of so many big games to E3 (SSM2, Fire Emblem, Astral Chain), we are sure to get treehouse segments on those games, which will be very exciting! MUA3 could definitely a big segment as well, considering it should release in summer as well (I'm guessing it will in September).
I just meant a second trailer lol. Only AC hasn't gotten any video. The others got what I call "the introduction trailer".
Mario Maker 2's trailer definitely feels a bit different (and way bigger) than those other examples though.
So if it was rebooted.....there's a chance we will see it soon?
Maybe lol
Yeah, it's Mario (NSMBUDX and SSM2). I don't expect Pikmin 4 in 2019 at all, even if it were finished.
He never said Pikmin 4 would come this year. He said "could we see Pikmin 4 this year".
I think he's referring to to Links Awakening and the Zelda eShop game.
My point still stands. I don't think they'll pull a Bayonetta here, not when Pikmin has much better selling potential
I mean I agree we're not getting 2 Pikmin games this year. I was just pointing out nobody ever said 2 Pikmin games were coming this year.
To be fair, it does feel more like a Jan direct announcement than an e3 18 month hype type deal.
Yeah, It wasnt bad but not as great as the previous year, with announcements happening during the show. This year there will be so much stuff to show: early routes from Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luguis Mansion, Astral Chain, Link's Awakening, there're just so many games. Animal Crossing will be the main game in my opinion, I think we will get some sort of Directs before E3, probably a short Smash Direct and a Mario Maker one, with Nintendo later announcing their E3 plans and telling us to expect AC news at E3. That doesn't mean there will be 20 minutes of Animal Crossing during the Direct tho, probably a five minutes trailer with Treehouse kicking off right after it.
Pokémon?
You think we'll see two Zelda games on the Switch this year? I wasn't really keeping up with rumors after the February Direct, but is there actually anything supporting this, or is this just a prediction?
You quoted the dude who told him "Pikmin isn't getting 2 games this year". If you didn't agree that's fine. As long as he sees he misread what that poster said.
Yeah there's so much more to show this year. That's what makes the Treehouse go. It lives by the games they can show. The less we've seen of all these games means the better Treehouse will be. There's a nice variety for everyone. A little bit of Mario or Zelda or something more action like Astral Chain or maybe you love Animal Crossing, then there's plenty of that.
It's Nintendo so anything is possible, but I can see when you think about it rationally another Zelda game (on Switch) seems highly unlikely.
Last reveal will be the "surprise" announcement of co-op in Mario Maker 2, with the Treehouse immediately showing it off afterwards.
Ohhh I like that answer. Something different than Animal Crossing and a big deal.
