If Nintendo's not releasing AAA bombshells every minute on the minute, it's a drought. ERA lives in a bubble.
People really like the characters, worlds, cameos and gameplay.
Considering Monster Hunter now seems to have "evolved" beyond Nintendo platforms + the complete lack of anything substantial from Capcom so far with Switch I think the only logical conclusion is that they have simply been hard at work on the huge AAA release titled - Splatoon : Salmon Hunter. Clearly the spinoff game we all know that the twitter hint was alluding to.
Good times. Should make for a good direct announcement

I knew it. Thanks for confirming no direct next week.
I can't trust a person who hears Laurel. Just the way it goes.
If it is exclusive it'd only be a timed exclusive because there'd be no point restricting it to Switch only unless Nintendo paid for it
Square Enix is probably moving towards a follow-up on next-gen consoles though
What do we think the Splatoon "SOS" tease will lead to? Budget spinoff? Full-price retail game? Free-to-play NSO game?
I'm personally thinking eShop spin-off, but I know others think it'll be a retail title.
Circumstantial evidence time!
Every year here in NZ we have kiosks selling calendars that have Mario and Zelda and thats about it.
This year for the first time they were selling these sweet metroid ones:
It also says this on the back:
Bring peace to the galaxy in 2020 with renowned bounty hunter Samus Aran. This exciting 16-month calendar features artwork spanning the events of Samus Aran's career in Nintendo's Metroid series, starting with the original 1986 Metroid, through the Prime series, and concluding with a return to Planet SR388 in Metroid: Samus Returns (TM). Suit up against Space Pirates, Metroids, and everything else that comes your way this year.
The fact that they are putting one out at all is interesting enough, but also the quote seems to imply something Metroid happening this year.
I know, I know, its probably just the HD collection and then trying to hype 4 for next year or the year after, but maybe we're getting a bit more? 2D Metroid?

A $40-$60 retail game.
*waits for raccoon to quote me on full retail games
Nintendo already has a mobile puzzler in Dr. Mario World and it's a sad, sad failure on every front, just like the majority of Nintendo's mobile efforts.

That's pretty cool. I don't think it implies anything though.
Thanks for confirming, better than someone claiming it like this.
Would probably help if Zippo didn't talk like a twitter "insider" then.
Nice~!
I'm pretty much in the boat that X9 is inevitable at this point. One thing Capcom is good at doing is building up hype and reintroducing characters that they stand to reuse in the very near future, and the X series has gotten a lot of love, in the last few years. It's just simply a matter of time.
Of course, I'd love it if they would announce it before the anniversary in December, but that much is not up to me.
I'm already expecting a new 2D Metroid.Circumstantial evidence time!

hey Zippo , I'm about to catch a plane and I've been reading the thread while waiting to board, I'm currently on page 361, I would like to thank you for all your info. Even if things change and not all turn out to be 100% correct, thanks for sharing what you know.
that also applies to NateDrake, Emily, and captain.

Wonderful 101 has some of the the coolest visuals I've seen in the last decade but critical reception wasn't that amazing last time - why do people think it needs another shot? Also wasn't it a game that was designed with the game pad in mind? Seems like it's just damning the game a second time.
I'd love the same style used for a new game, even if it means we don't see it for a while.

He doesn't owe you (and to any of us) anything, he talks the way he wants to.
If you are not happy with it, then just move on.
Quick poll on an OT4 title to see where everyone's at. I can do another one later so keep suggesting more
Thanks Q. I needed this so people would stop bringing it up in here. 🙂
One of the KH3 producers said there will be at least one KH games before the eventual KH4. Could be a multiplat game but if Nintendo moneyhats an exclusivity deal we can see it as a Switch (Switch 2) exclusive.
Exactly.
We need to remember these directs are nothing but glorified advertisement segments. Enjoy them because you enjoy Nintendo, but that's it. Ridiculous to demand anything else.
When the hell did Zippo become an insider lol
I don't spent enough time in these Nintendo speculation threads to keep up with everything lol

Sabi + Nintendo ninjas on the hunt + Soup discouraged me to update it further.
I was feeling like it was rewarding those who craved attention like Sabi and punishing thos who wanted to stay discrete.
Like you pointed out earlier, the only E3 Switch reveal from Nintendo that released the same year was Super Mario Party. That strategy is the exception, not the norm. My guess is that we have release dates/windows up to and including July at the very least by the end of the next Direct, with further titles confirmed as 2020 releases and then dated at E3. I think, short of any Labo or Ring Fit style experiments, we know Nintendo's first party line up for the year by the end of April. That just seems to be their method now. We can expect 2021 reveals at E3 and again in September.
It's not easy to be concrete so much. Nintendo is on peoples asses, especially these insiders. I've heard it
