I was trying to work out why you do this to yourself, then I remembered confession is good for the soul.

Ahhh i see i see, totally reliable leaks indeed. The Raccoon with the knowledge of all. Am i worthy of such knowledge? ... maybe, maybe not. *begins to look back at posts*
A Nintendo leak coming from Brazil, if it's true, is such a funny story. Another excuse for Nintendo to completely ignore us!
See, the coelho stuff I'm still iffy on, but speaking from personal experience, sometimes people do just share stuff with people they like. I know that very well. So it's not unbelievable to me, but at the end of the day it's all speculation. What I've been involved with wasn't leaks or anything, but as close to official info as humanly possible, and that's certainly a big difference.
Yeah, I'm definitely expecting multiplayer mode of Metroid Prime 4 to be separately released. Could be a multiplayer hero shooter similar to Overwatch, but in here Kanden will be OP. Not Sylux.
I think megaleaks are really unlikely in general, having worked in large corporations, they are typically segmented, allowing little visibility into other areas of the company.
For example, if I worked on botw2 it is highly unlikely I'd know what next level games was working on, other than maybe a general idea, I highly doubt I'd have the visibility to tell you the title or any details other than a high level concept at best.

I think most of us assumed the character wasn't gonna be shown off until at least September, anyways. Assuming the Mini is near the end of the month, that seems like only a few weeks to wait for.
MondoMega didn't you find something that indicates the next character will be revealed in September or early October or something? Can you post that again? Thanks.
I wonder if we'll get any sort of information on 2021 games during the next direct. LIke a tease or something.
I know that this year has been very slow in many regards, and obviously covid didn't help things with development, but given that this next mini or whatever direct could potentially be the last one for 2020, if they'll share any teases of 2021 games or if Nintendo would just decide to put that sort of info in a Jan 2021 direct instead.

"It's just for the meme," he said, nervously shifting where he stood. "I don't feel guilty," he guiltily said. "I don't need to confess anything, I'm completely fine. I don't need any validation," desperately seeking validation.
New Metroid and Fire Emblem in first half of 2021 would be so good but I refuse to get hyped.
So, given the info circulating right now, it seems like there are two likely-ish scenarios for August:
Scenario 1:
- Indie presentation
- Direct Mini (including Mario announcements and third party titles)
Scenario 2:
- Mario presentation
- Indie presentation
- Partner Showcase
I guess there's another scenario where we get an indie presentation and a partner showcase and the Mario news gets dropped in September, but that kind of conflicts with the rumor that the 3D Collection is coming in September, unless it's a digital-only title.

I'm assuming it's the concept of the Amiibo releases lining up with character reveals/releases, yes?
With Indies rumoured soon, I hope we get an update on Ghost of a Tale.
Spring 2020 ended a fair few months ago. I understand quarantine through everything for a loop but I hope we can get a release date before the end of the year. Ideally I'd love to play my Redwall-esque story sometime in autumn.
Technically they said all games internally dated for FY2020 haven't been delayed because of COVID, so even if it releases before April 2021, Nintendo would still count it as an ontime release.
That being said, no one rationally considers those first three months of the new year as part of the current year, and I'll be right there with you rioting over an abysmal first party release output if the anniversary got delayed to early 2021. Honestly I'd still be concerned even if there wasn't a pandemic with the kind of releases were seeing so far.

Could be another Fire Emblem Warriors game, or, like you said, a remake.
Parts of it seem okay. And other parts seem very suspect. It kinda feels like logical guesses from things we already know rather than actual inside information.
Like there is a lot of qualifying going on with things he supposedly should know. The thing I do like is Retro working on a 2nd Metroid game, because that's the only rationale to have their game being delayed/held back and from a fan perspective we'd much rather believe they have 2 games rather than cancelled projects.
Doubt there would be an entirely original FE so soon after 3H and it's dlc.
Remake is more likely but then we're left wondering if it would be of 4 which is chronologically the next one, or 6 which is what the director of SoV apparently wanted to do.
For a while it was nearly annual on the 3DS and IntSys didn't do most of the heavily lifting on Three Houses so I could believe it.
i keep hoping for silksong to show up in an indie direct but it seems like it's too big of a deal for those presentations :(
I will fucking die if we get FE4R news
And what do you know, next year is the 25th anniversary of this game.

I really don't see Nintendo revive Prime for one game, if it mett expectetions
I expect a Fire Emblem in 2021 personally. They tend to work fast on those and they're not big budget games. Especially since the next one is probably a remake yeah.
There were some people talking about that there some 3DS games in developement at Intelligent Systems before they shifted everything to Switch.
Paper Mario was done all by them right? Three Houses was largely outsourced so maybe they did have some people free for other stuff?
I still think this huge list of info is kinda suspect.
Retro is their own company, Nintendo shouldn't force them into an entire new trilogy of Prime games
I don't really know how Nintendo does their marketing, but coming from a consumers point of view, wouldn't it make more sense to have announced Pikmin 3 Deluxe 'after' the mario collection? I feel like as soon as the mario collection gets announced, a lot of people will forget about Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
...travis strikes again probably sold less 1/50th of hollow knight
If I never played Pikmin 3's dlc, is deluxe worth it for that alone? I also got this game for free for buying MK8 back then so I won't feel too bad other than paying for a Switch port with no seemingly graphical upgrade.
Maybe a mini?
There are also some indies that got 2020 targets and haven't released, like Axiom Verge 2, Sports Story and Blue Fire
