It was, but the gameawards showed one game for nintendo and that's it. Hard to call that a direct.

I guess they're more like Direct minis...or even micros (yeah those existed).

If odyssey 2 isn't this year, I see it being october next year. Botw2 is spring. DP remakes november.
A set of Diamond & Pearl remakes seem pretty likely to me.
2021 is the 25th anniversary year of Pokémon, so that'll probably be a whole thing.
Not to say that MP4 or a Mario game couldn't also be releasing then, of course.
Sakurai's own comments. He said it would be a while until the next reveal.
The September direct was horrible. Opening with an old 3r party game. And close with a remake from an jprg. It was not good. Last year only the February direct was good. E3 was besides Banjo and breath of the wild 2 bad. And the VGA performance. That was also horrible
Holiday 2021? Probably the expanded remake of BS Tantei Club, or a reimagined Mach Rider.
Though I could also see a lesser title, like say, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl remakes, taking that position, if the above were not yet ready.
Sakurai kind of implied it and said it could be a little bit before we see the next character. I think both 6 and 7 at e3.
I wonder how ambitious the new Paper Mario will be. I hope they don't use going back to basics as an excuse to make a half assed game. I know we don't even know they're real yet but a good PM alone would make 2020 for me
Holy shit 2016 was the 20th anniversary of Pokemon?...It doesn't feel that long ago
Was that in the byleth presentation? I must of missed it.
Oh i am know for sure that's dlc pack 2 get a new Pokémon.
I feel like they could do some combo of Paper Mario, 3DW Deluxe, and SMP2 for the holidays. Individually none of those games are as big as smash, but I think it's fine to do that for one year.
I mean do we really expect Nintendo to have Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon for the holidays EVERY year for the next 3-4 years (until switch 2)?

Got it, thanks. I definitely think it would either be this holiday or next spring if we do see one. Either way it'll be interesting to see what the development team is working on.
We've heard that there will be two Directs this month, but none this week.

They always do a holiday remake/port. So I'm already expecting that, but not as their big marquee holiday title. This year especially with all the big hitters releasing they'll need something like a new Mario or BotW 2. They want a reason for parents to buy their kids a Switch over a Ps5/ Series X for the holidays.
Only way that makes sense if they are cutting the switch price to $249.99
The Sep 19 direct was the first one I wasn't hungry for in a long time. We already had the games confirmed for that year, so I was kind of like "huh, a direct? cool".
I'm hungry for this Direct too, but I'm big chillin with my massive backlog so it's not even like it was in 2018 really.

I agree, though personally I liked the September one a lot more.
I mean this is really the issue with how some people here treat information from insiders. Nothing short of revealing the entire lineup is going to alleviate their fears. If only a portion of the games is leaked, there will always be someone freaking out about how empty the year looks based on a partial list. It is what it is but I don't blame people for not wanting to share information in here anymore because it's bound to get twisted somehow.
E3 2019 was solid... I'll agree that September direct was bad
I could see them do a Black Friday price like that
Did we really even need the Sep Direct though? That one felt more like a cherry on top kind of Direct.
That's valid, just seeing so many say they were bad makes me scratch my head.
Sure were. A ton of great games announced.
Was that the Xenoblade Remaster one because that one was weak
When from the 3 big new announcement there are 2 DLC characters. That is in my opinion not a good direct
Yeah, it's honestly bizarre. In one Direct you get two Famicom Detective Club remakes announced, a date for Animal Crossing, Deadly Premonition 2, Obra Dinn, a remaster of Xenoblade, and Terry, an SNK character, in Smash! All around, a fantastic Direct full of surprises.
To be fair, FDC 1+2 are yet to be announced for the West. I'm not willing to give that one to Nintendo yet.
I found the E3 and September Direct ok. Botw2, No More Heroes 3 and Deadly Premonition 2 were the standout moments for me.
I know BOTW 2 was hinted at by insiders before it's announcement, but is Odyssey 2 yet to be hinted at?
That is fair enough. Hopefully it won't be much longer now!
botw 2 was hinted at by aonuma pretty soon after botw released. It wasn't that hard to guess.
