Merry Christmas and happy holidays all - I've got a stack of videogame books to read when I'm not getting through my backlog of actual videogames.
I managed a little time on Pokemon Shield today and got my first badge. I've got Dragon Quest XI S finally, too, but that can wait.
Here's to a good 2020.

How long must be wait. Even some blurred screenshots will get me excited at this point.
Happy holidays to you, too!
99%. Even if they don't actually have much new info to share they'll probably still do one to kick off a huge marketing push.
Since I didn't say it earlier; thanks for the giveaway stealthyfrog! Christmas Day may have passed in my timezone, but I hope others are still enjoying the holiday!
That's a pretty safe bet; an Animal Crossing Direct at some point before release makes sense.

These are our awesome prizes:
KOTOR will probably make it over but I don't really expect them to touch the Rogue Squadron games any time soon.
I find it hard to believe there won't be a direct in January, wouldn't that make a huge gap between these two Smash Bros DLC fighters (Terry and FP5) or am I suffering from temporary amnesia and this was standard wait time?
I will 100% buy both KOTOR games if they come to switch.
I don't think a Smash reveal being due would necessarily make a January Direct a lock. They can easily reveal Challenger Pack 5 in it's own presentation; though I don't think that'll happen. I definitely think we'll see a January Direct with a Smash reveal, but Smash isn't really a factor in that prediction.
In terms of the gap between reveals or releases; nothing can beat the gap between Joker and Hero in either case.
Thanks for the generosity, y'all. Hope everyone's had fun holidays, and relatives are being bearable.
Really? I would think the anticipation for Smash DLC fighters would definitely factor in. What do you think actually matters when it comes to correct predictions on Nintendo Direct streams? Also, do we know how far in advance does Nintendo usually announce their Directs? I guess it varies from the two I've been here for off the top of my head, but I was just wondering in general.
I think our general lack of knowledge about Nintendo's 2020 lineup, something The Game Awards didn't help much with, is the main reason why a January Direct should happen. They have announcements to make (Smash is one of them; but again, that could happen separately if necessary), and I feel like they won't wait until February for the year's first Direct.
In recent years, they've revealed General Directs 32 hours in advance.
I don't see why Nintendo would announce a Smash character by itself. It would be in a Nintendo direct. This helps to believe there will be a January direct along with getting more Animal Crossing info out as soon as possible for preorders.
I see. There's also something exciting about FP5 in the sense that there are no rumors yet whereas the four before they all were kinda leaked in some way or another.
I was thinking that as well. I think New Horizons for Animal Crossing + Smash FP5 and new DLC announcement in January is imminent. Especially since New Horizons is releasing relatively early, I find it hard for it to only make one sppearance in a direct and it being like a month before release.
Remember when we needed a January Direct last year to reveal the release date for Yoshi's Crafted World? ;)
Smash characters definitely have a big enough draw to justify a separate presentation; if the Direct isn't in January, there's no reason to believe they couldn't just reveal the character by itself. Of course, I think we're getting a January Direct with a Smash announcement; but after last year I think it'd be wise to keep more of an open mind on these things, don't you think?
Do y'all think Animal Crossing is getting delayed? Starting to feel like unless we get some Direct dedicated towards it in January, it's getting released later than March.
i would be shocked if it was delayed one more time. it's clearly going to be their big Q1 title, i don't think they'll miss out on that window.
What reason do we have to think the game is getting delayed again? It has a set release date, and is clearly Nintendo's big Q1 title; it ain't going anywhere at this point.
They had a booth for it at Jump Festa last weekend too; and just sent out new promotional renders to the press this week. A delay would be shocking.
tbh looking at how well switch, pokemon, luigi's mansion 3 and the other evergreen titles are doing during the holidays, delaying animal crossing was the right decision. it would have been overkill.
My wish from Santa was a small hint about certain bear and bird's game appearing on certain handheld system. Along with other games by that bear and bird's makers...
TBH Animal Crossing could have released earlier imo but March 20th is a strategic date (game benefits strongly to two fiscal years).
They tried to pull the same thing with Crafted World last year (the game was complete and uploaded on the eShop servers in December); but I think Animal Crossing will be infinitely more successful in that regard.
yeah they'll give AC a segment in the January direct and then give it its own dedicated direct in probably February
I was just thinking every character so far has been announced in a bigger presentation be it a general direct or Game Awards. I think Nintendo will continue this with the last fighter and then Sakurai will do his in-depth video in February.
But yes it is possible they announce a Smash direct only because I could them announce the fifth character plus the next character
Same with Kirby in 2018 iirc.
The last half of March is usually full of games because of these financial considerations.
Kirby then Yoshi then Animal Crossing. They always do this March game. Animal Crossing is finally the big meat and potatoes games. Well BotW was March 2017.
I want Nintendo to push for a big title every March if they can.
