you're joking, right? we know almost nothing about the game

The problem with the first half of 2019 was the redundancy. Yeah there was Tetris 99 and Cadence of Hyrule (and the Captain Toad DLC, if you want to count it), but a lot of the Nintendo releases were 2D platformers. There were two (!) 2D Mario games, Boxboy & Boxgirl and Yoshi's Crafted World. There's nothing wrong with 2D platformers but it would be easier not to notice just how many games they were pushing in the genre last year if they're weren't all released within 2 months of each other.
It wasn't a bad first half, but if you weren't feeling the genre, you had to wait a bit for Nintendo themselves to release something you might like. This comes after a year of mostly underwhelming games (Mario Tennis, Lets Go, Kirby Star Allies) and a lot of Wii U ports, so I get why people were antsy. 2019 ended up being fantastic though, with the only downside being that all of the games I wanted came out when I had no money, so I'm only just now getting around to picking them up.
I didn't say Smash...
February - Tetris 99, solid game that's still fun to this day (imo), but a rather small release all things considered
It made me realize that a streamer/youtuber I followed was a godTetris 99 is the definitive GOTY and I will hear no slander
It's as good as Breath of the Wild and is still continuously enjoyable after nearly 200 hours of game time. It's probably the most fun Tetris has ever been
Jesus did not play many other games? That's almost as long as I've played every Switch game this year combined.Tetris 99 gets underrated. I see Goose Game on countless GOTY lists but no Tetris 99 - this makes me sad :( It's a brilliant reinvention of a timeless masterpiece. I've invested 700 hours into this gem. People will be playing this for years.
I wouldn't call it a small release.
It has had a solid 6 minutes so far. Come on now, that's plenty for Nintendo's biggest release of the year.
Egg lost his hair to carry Dan in Tetris. Acceptable sacrifice.It made me realize that a streamer/youtuber I followed was a god
I would prefer to see new games in the Direct. I cannot even watch AC footage without getting sleepy.
You know what is nearly impossible but would make this upcoming Direct the best one ever
A silky shadow drop
No joke, I'd pause the video right there and run off to the eshop.
I know, but I think one of the Directs will shadow drop it in the future.Team Cherry's last update on Silksong doesn't give me much confidence in a shadow-drop anytime soon.
I haven't even watched the first one in full. It's an instant buy anyway, no need to spoil myself in this case.i kinda don't want to see too many trailers for silk song. i haven't watched any of the trailers and demos past the first one.
i'm gonna say no. the full reveal trailer, release date, and several treehouse demos will all be at E3 for maximum impact.
it'll be a repeat of xeno 2, everyone was convinced the game wouldn't come out in 2017.I mean by E3 everyone will be in "there is no way this game is coming out this year" mode so it would be a nice surprise.
isn't it a little too soon for the mariah gifs?
...oh what the hell
In my opinion, the biggest hint at a Direct happening this month and not February is the recent Animal Crossing trailer with the cover art being shown too. AC will most likely need its own Direct next month and they wouldnt want people to speculate about a another delay when they show nothing about it during next week's Direct.
a;sdjn;akdn;akjsdnad not addicted to salami!I have to laugh! You know, it's a little over the top, but that's just how festive we all are 😉

they may just put it in the sizzle reel at the end, like what they did with mario maker at E3That's actually a good point but do you think they will leave out AC entirely from the next Direct?

It should have some mention of it. It was missing from the September Direct and TGA. People are starting to wonder if it's delayed.

That's what some of us believe will happen. We always know what the big holiday game is prior to E3 of that year. If Odyssey 2 (or the next big 3D Mario game) isn't announced in this first direct for Holiday 2020, then I believe we will get a March/April direct and it will show BotW 2/Odyssey 2 for Holiday 2020. Nintendo won't wait until E3 to talk about BotW 2 again. We can get a small trailer in a March/April direct for BotW 2 or Odyssey 2, then the huge blowout at E3 of course.All major Nintendo Switch releases for the holidays had a confirmed release date for that year before E3. If BOTW 2 does not appear in this Direct, then I don't think it will come out this year. Unless there is another Direct in April...
in 2017, both mario odyssey and xenoblade didn't have their date confirmed until E3. odyssey got a full date and xeno got a "holiday 2017" date with the full date being revealed in the september direct.All major Nintendo Switch releases for the holidays had a confirmed release date for that year before E3. If BOTW 2 does not appear in this Direct, then I don't think it will come out this year. Unless there is another Direct in April...
It's not quite the same tbf. Even though I believe BotW 2 will be 2020 it doesn't have an official release year from Nintendo. Xenoblade 2 at least had an official release of 2017 when it was first announced.it'll be a repeat of xeno 2, everyone was convinced the game wouldn't come out in 2017.

what about luigi's mansion 3? first announced with no release year at the september direct last year, then not mentioned until E3 this year where it got a "2019" date, and then the full release date was revealed later.It's not quite the same tbf. Even though I believe BotW 2 will be 2020 it doesn't have an official release year from Nintendo. Xenoblade 2 at least had an official release of 2017 when it was first announced.
Luigi's Mansion 3 was announced as 2019 when it was revealed in the September 2018 direct.what about luigi's mansion 3? first announced with no release year at the september direct last year, then not mentioned until E3 this year where it got a "2019" date, and then the full release date was revealed later.
Luigi's Mansion 3 had a '2019' release date at the first reveal. Dark Cloud and ivandlspozas are right - end of year games usually have a release window (i.e. the year they'll release) before E3, with a specific date being given later. If Zelda is 2020, we should see it and know before E3.what about luigi's mansion 3? first announced with no release year at the september direct last year, then not mentioned until E3 this year where it got a "2019" date, and then the full release date was revealed later.
Right. It's not a foregone conclusion BotW 2 is even the holiday game, even though most of us believe it will be. If it's a 3D Mario for example then it will 100% be announced before E3.I think if Breath of the Wild 2 is coming this year, we're going to see something of it before E3 - even a brief tease.

This is the fun part. Nobody really cares about the actual direct. They're all bad anyways. 😝After being announced, Luigi's Mansion 3 missed the February 2019 Direct before appearing in the E3 2019 Direct
After being announced, BotW 2 missed the September 2019 Direct, thus it will appear in the January 2020 Direct
It sure is easy to make up dumb theories that will probably get destroyed in a few weeks, lol.
good point hahait was never given a date (not even a year), how can it be delayed?
they might completely ignore animal crossing but then immediately announce a dedicated AC direct for feb
