Either way that render should be for.... something. Not just a random tweet

To be frank, I can't recall a time they've hinted at a game via a tweet, however, their Twitter account can be a bit cheeky at times (if you recall, they posted a picture of Chibi Robo on fire as Direct speculation blew up). It's hard to tell if they were being coy about a potential Mario Sunshine remaster only because they have to know what people would construe if they include the words "Mario" and "sunshine" in a single tweet.
The likelihood of this, I agree with you, is exceptionally low. It just wouldn't surprise me if it came to fruition.
We will see. If that happen i am curious to see how will they do that since Joy-Cons can't do analog triggers.
Donkey Kong Country Return of the Kremlings, a full 3D Open World Platformer or nothing at all Donkey Kong. Give me:
-Animal Rides for land and sea traversal
-Vine Swinging in a Lush Jungle
-Crazy Ass 3D Mine Cart caverns with twisting paths and even unpside or sideways sections.
-Hulk like combat with Donkey Kong smashing through the kremling ranks
-Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong have been imprisones by K. Rool and don't show up until the end of the game.
I also think its reason why its a tease and not something random. Nintendo still seperates Generic Mario Renders for universal use in marketing and advertising from the game specific artstyle and renders, independent from what the last mainline release was. If its a render using Odyssey Mario its an Odyssey related tease for me. DLC would be coming a bit too late, and I doubt Nintendo would dow with BotW2 what they did for SMG2 and not employ that tactix for an Odyssey 2.
The antichrist is POTUS so I'm pretty sure anything can happen nowadays. No need tonsummon satan, he's been pretty busy.
Isn't the renewal date on the 18th? And everyone got a weeks free trial so the true renewal date would be the 25th?
It's not DLC...they didn't sit around for 2 years to do dlc for Odyssey. IF there's a hint at all it's for Mario Odyssey 2 with Delfino Isle as a Kingdom.
Automatic renewal term: Nintendo Switch Online family 12‑month (365‑day) membership
Price (subject to applicable taxes): $34.99
Deadline to turn off automatic renewal: 09/17/2019 05:19 (24H PDT)
This was in my email
You might've honestly hit it on the head what Nintendo's first party announcements are. You have the Wii U 2013 port in Pikmin 3. 2 brand new first party games in Warioware (Emily's Mystery game #4) coming this year and Odyssey 2 for next year.
They certainly won't wait until the very last day to announce whatever they have planned for the service' second year so it makes sense to announce it early next month anyway.
It will be in first week of September (not sure about exact date because last time they did it on Wednesday). But first week of September makes a lot of sense - it's before TGS, it's before Switch Lite, it's before Daemon X Machina launch, it's before Nintendo Switch Online one year renewal.
yeah i know, but there is still a chance a direct could be in the 2nd week of september.
Does this mean the direct will be mostly about reminding everyone all the games coming out in September and after instead of announcing new stuff? Makes sense even though I really want to hear some more announcements.
I know better than to expect anything out of it, but it's really striking as odd to me how it's an Odyssey Mario-style render when there has never been generic Mario artwork (not associated to a specific game) which uses that style. (Compare the Vacation suitcase Mario with the Watermelon Mario for example) They're different styles.
I think they will start and end with new announcements. Also some updates on games like new AC: New Horizons, some third party stuff. It will be good enough.
i mean they'll obviously have an "oh, and one more thing" sequence.
I don't think they'll have a direct the week of TGS. TGS moved up this year.
Well of course they're going to remind us lol. It doesn't mean that will take much time. Zelda will probably get a trailer the most. LM3 maybe a trailer or something a little longer. What else is there? Panzer Dragoon, Sonic, some indies, DQ XI, D X M? Everything else is basically in a montage or a short mention. Maybe DQ XI gets another trailer.
There will definitely be new announcements. I'm expecting 2-3 new Nintendo games (not ports). I'm expecting a Nintendo Wii U port in Pikmin 3. I'm expecting lots of third party games to be announced.
If Retro was sitting on a DK game I wouldn't blame them at all or be surprised. After what happened with the initial Tropical Freeze and Cranky Kong reveals I imagine they'd realize they would need the franchise to just sit quiet for a bit. Odyssey, Tropical Freeze, Kirby and Yoshi are already available so just let those platformers do what they do for a while. Bring DK back when it doesn't appear that the fans could be going through some form of platformer fatigue. Though I imagine if it was 3D people would be more welcoming since we haven't seen a 3D DK adventure since the 64.
Don't quite agree with the bolded but over all YES! OH GOD YES!
Why are people reluctant to say we're going to have a lot of announcements? When is Nintendo going to announce all their games? You see the combination of handheld and console come together. It means more games from Nintendo on one system.
They can't hold back announcements. That's why Directs are so great now. Switch success plus no handheld development. It took a couple of years, but I think we're there. Plus all the third party devs on board unlike Wii U or 3DS (western).

To be fair previous september nintendo directs were mostly focused on 3rd party stuff
Sept 2018 direct:
3 new games + 1 wii U port
Feb 2019 direct:
3 new games (I guess 4 If you wanna count boxboy)
3 new games + 1 wii U port
Feb 2019 direct:
3 new games (I guess 4 If you wanna count boxboy)
Am assuming you're only talking about first party titles because we got more new games than that in both directs. =) Also, we got 5 First party ones in February.
Feb 2019
Super Mario Maker 2
Box Boy + Box Girl
Tetris 99
Astral Chain
Link's Awakening
pikmin is the safest bet, but one could arguee that there is no safest bet with nintendo as they are the kings of left field
Probably the kind where you can turn back time to a point where you can prevent the IP's original creators from ending their relationship with Nintendo and then proceeding to run the company into the ground and disgracing themselves and everyone involved.
Yeah. I should clarify I don't mean to say it will be first party focused. Like let's say there's 2-3 new games and a port from Nintendo. That would take like 5 minutes out of a 35 minutes Direct.
Everyone is kind of on board with Pikmin 3 because Zell said it was coming. Also, we say Emily's 2013 Wii U port is Pikmin 3 and she never says it's not.
Who says they need Dyack to do anything with it? They fully own the IP.
This is a pretty good point I didn't think of. If Retro has 2D DK ready Nintendo would want it to wait. Like you said they don't want platformer fatigue again like Wii U. People complained there was too many 2D platformers coming. We already had Yoshi and Mario twice this year. DK would be overkill and could suffer because of platformer fatigue.
Nintendo would want DK to be as successful as could be. Really good point
Super Mario Sunshine HD would be the perfect December release, IMO. It wouldn't take that long to develop, so it could release this year (if it's a thing of course), it wouldn't take the spotlight off of any of the other Holiday titles, and a summer-themed game would be perfect game would the long winter (dream of sunshine).
That being said, X to doubt.

I feel like we won't hear anything about that anytime soon. Not until Banjo has been out for a while at least.
So.. mid November- early December 🤔
There are two fighters left and they all have to be out by February. The Fall Direct is the perfect time to reveal one.
They don't need to but they also don't seem to do this kind of stuff. I can't think of a single instance where they took an IP created by an external company and gave it to a different company. They seem to prefer to work with an IP's original creators so there's probably not much incentive or interest to bring it back when the brains behind it are scattered to the four winds.
Not that the sanity effects really need "Eternal Darkness the IP" to work.
Kirby's Epic Yarn is weirdly an example of that, though I assume HAL had to approve?
Man, imagine a Tomodachi life game that lets me be gay
It is the superior game, though
HAL was partially involved, actually. Obviously to oversee the characters and world but also in the sound department.
They promised that they'd do it next time after all of the Tomodachi Life controversy, so that's one part of the game to look forward to.
