I'll say, if there's a new 3D Mario, a new game from the Mario Kart/Arms team, a new 2D Metroid, WarioWare, Paper Mario, Bayonetta 3 and Animal Crossing, that's already a pretty stellar 2020 if that all pans out. I'd like to add BOTW2 or Monolith's next game but those are still big unknowns right now.
BotW2 is more known than 3D Mario, new ARMS/MK team, Paper Mario and WarioWare though
I can easily see that being announced in September and released in December. Mario and Rabbids was announced in July and released in September. There is still plenty of time left.
Personally I hope for dlc for existing games. Mario Party definitely needs it
Sure, but I think it's quite possible that BOTW2 is further off than all of those likely games. These 3D Zelda hype cycles can go for a long time.
I doubt that at this point. ND Cube is absolutely making a new Mario Party as we speak. Will probably see it sooner rather than later.
I'm afraid you're right. With the Switch lite being a thing they might announce a new Mario party soon.
Don't care about Mario Party. We had awful lots of it (3 on 3DS!).
What I need is a new Mario Sports Mix. Followup to the Square made one on Wii. But with more corssovers. First one had Square characters as extras, I want more in the sequel: Maybe Crash Bandicoot characters? Rayman & friends? Or maybe even Mickey Mouse and Disney folk.
Or better even, Mario Sports Smash Bros? Ubisoft once made a Ubi corssover soccer game something similar to that. Mario, Pacman, Megaman, Kirby, DK, Rayman, Crash (but no realistic or anime characters, only mascots). Wonder how possible such project is. It's time to Smash cast to try different genres.

So kinda like Mario and Sonic at the Olympics which releases this year?
And get this, guys. It's fun, plays well and it's gorgeous. Full online play.
While I agree with the sentiment, I don't think BOTW2 will be too far off since it is reusing the BOTW engine and many of it's assets.
Sold...
It's funny that as much as I sometimes complain about lack of game diversity on Switch and Nintendo only making Mario Games, after M+S Releases I'm going to own 6 Mario games of about 20 total games
Absolutely not. Those games were nothing alike. First of Sports Mix was pure fun, Nintendo-esque (even though made by Square) team sport mix while Olympics games were always like... traditional Mario-less Olympics games, all button mashing or wiggle waggle to run (that being said, I'm a little hopeful about this years one. It had bunch of new sports including skateboarding, it might scratch my skateboard itch)
Sports Mix was super fun, 'I'm baffled that Nintendo haven't had Square to make another one (of course it could be that Square might be busy). If they decide to make another one, I'll get it full price day one. I really miss that crazy dodgeball game...
Yeah, while don't think this will be a four year wait like with BOTW, I think it's still not coming anytime soon. Those games I mentioned could be announced in the near future.
This is Geoff's first show at Gamescom, I think. Nintendo doesn't announce games at Gamescom, though. (I bet Nintendo would have made one announcement at the opening ceremony if Reggie were still president)
Super Mario 2 makes so much sense because of Switch Lite. Super Mario Party is pretty lame on a Switch Lite. I understand not doing any dlc and moving straight to SMP2. They can crank these games out every 2 years.
I just really hope the maps are bigger, there are more items and the economy is fixed. PLEASE no more 10 coins for a star. So dumb
-Better economy
-better maps being bigger and more maps
-focus less on the side modes!
-more items??
-minor but game looks kind of bland? I like the old Mario Party's had a fun artstyle to them
-bring back the 10 die. No more 1-6 die

Real talk for a minute: If Nintendo can work with Disney to get Mario and Mickey Mouse in the same game, then that first game needs to be Smash with Sora being the character to bring them together. You make that collaboration an event. Those are two of the most iconic characters that EVERYONE knows.
THEN you talk other franchise collaborations. But you make sure the first one is a big one. Otherwise it's Mario & Sonic where everyone is shocked, but it could have been a bigger event.
I feel like now that Nintendo is collaborating heavily with Universal that it may get in the way of any sort of crossovers with Disney. Of course, there will still be Disney games on the Switch. It did stop Mario from showing up in Wreck-It Ralph 2 like Rich Moore originally wanted.
Now in production doesn't mean anything. I can call Pokémon now in production. Anything can change also. You can say that about every game announced for the future. That doesn't mean BotW 2 couldn't come in 2020.
Why settle for sub-par Smash Soccer games when you can have Nintendo's best multiplayer game, Mario Strikers?
People would care so much less with a proper AC installment on the horizon.
What King Zell's comment regarding BOTW 2 tells us is that in early 2019, they are aiming for a 2020 release. Seeing as this info comes from early 2019, there is ample time for plans to change, either due to game release planning making it a more suitable 2021 release, or due to the game not matching the expected development speed and needing more development time. What King Zell told us allows us to have a good hope that BOTW 2 in 2020 is possible, but it is not a confirmation even though King Zell is as reliable as they come. We simply cannot deduce from his words that he knows for sure that the game is 100% ready for 2020, only that 2020 was the internal target half a year ago (and could very well still be).
In about a week we will enjoy some gameplay of The Witcher 3 on Switch. What a time to be alive.
The September directs (at least, the previous 2) had some big 3rd party games announced and released a few weeks after. I hope this is a trend and we'll see something like that with the upcoming direct. For a long time I thought that The Division 2 would be brought to the system, given how well the snowdrop engine performs on Switch. If it doesn't get announced at this direct, I'll give up. Unfortunately, it would have been a nice addition to the library.

Didn't Aonuma say they started making a new game because they had a ton of DLC ideas for the first BotW and it became big enough to be its own thing? If that's true, we can assume development started soon after BotW was released and the DLC came out.
Not a precise month, but since Aonuma said that BOTW2 grew out of the ideas for DLC for BOTW, then that puts the inception of BOTW2 very close to the finish of BOTW (since writers were probably brainstorming DLC ideas before BOTW released). As such, BOTW2 development may have started as soon as very soon after BOTW launch, but at the latest I would think that it started development at the start of 2018. That gives anywhere between 2.8-3.5 years of development if we target a November 2020 release date.
If King Zell never mentioned 3D Zelda in 2020 I would still be saying it can come late 2020. It's the BotW world again. I see it as 3-3.5 years of development by November 2020.
I just wonder if Aonuma ever got to make any headway into his Thief game that he talked about back in 2016.
The way Nintendo is doing it now we'll know probably by March what the big holiday game is. The official release date might not be known, but Nintendo would've announced the holiday game already by then.
It is surprising and disappointing that the engine running BOTW is being used only for BOTW more than 2 years after its release.
I hope so. He's just producing now. He can have a thief game being developed. As long as they have the people of course.
A new IP from Aonuma would be fantastic, but I very much doubt it'll come to fruition.
I doubt the "Zelda team" have enough people to be work on it.
At that point it was reported Nintendo actively wanted Aonuma to create a new IP.
Of course this was before BotW released and completely revitalized the IP.
Why would it have to be the Zelda team? He's a producer. You know that means he's not stuck to a singular "team", right?
This is the main reason I'm not expecting it to come.
I hope I'm wrong though! A new IP by Aonuma would be fantastic.
Not saying it has to be at all! It's just me being silly and stating something we all know haha.
The EPD teams are only a handful of people. They can probably scrap together a new team. They might need to outsource the game like Star Fox Zero though
