Yes fucking please, I'll take it. Maybe a little bit of Bravely Default II in the middle as well and we're good!
In general. Monster Hunter is a huge ending. It's now almost a mainstream franchise based off Worlds success
Sure. I just don't think for me personally it'd be super exciting. It's a Nintendo focused presentation, so it'd be weird to end on a third party game.
If this presumed Switch Monster Hunter is real and it's more in the vein of World, I may jump in. I haven't played World yet but it sounds like the Monster Hunter I might actually enjoy.
Agreed. I remember everyone being weirded out by Overwatch starting the September Direct last year. It just felt off. Monster Hunter would feel the same.
Well yeah, being a new game is normally better than a port
It'd be WAY better than closing with a remake, that's for sure.
Still not ideal, but that's true.
Yeah. That was a really bad opening. They need to hit hard with something at the start this time around.
Yeah, last year two directs closed with remakes. We don't need more at the time, specially with how port/remake heavy this year is already looking.
I'm not just talking about that; even before the Blitzchung situation soured me on Activision Blizzard as a whole (something i'm especially thankful for after seeing how Reforged turned out) it felt bizarre to open a direct with a late third-party port, no matter how big the game was.
The most i want to see from BOTW 2 in this upcoming Direct is a short teaser.
Do you guys think GTA V on switch could be a system seller this late in the game's life cycle?

It feels weird that they didn't date it alongside the pricing and information release, so I could see it getting a short highlight in the Direct, sure.

It's impossible to be a killer ending for everybody - that remake/remastering announcement was for me one of the highlights of recent years. XC2 was a joy and XC1, a game said to be far better, I (and undoubtedly countless other JRPG fans) never got a chance to play.
Monster Hunter on the other hand only interests me because I can see they've done something appealing with World, and I'd be happy to give it a go if they create a similar, quality experience on the Switch.

What does everyone think the chances of a Pikmin 4 reveal to go along with the Pikmin 3 port (if it's real)?
Yeah. The novelty of having it on the go, and just the fact that GTAV can't be stopped.
I'd love it to happen, but I just can't see it. It would be too good to be true.
Not sure why Nintendo decided to open the last Direct on Overwatch anyway. Surely one of the Q2 2020 titles could have taken Overwatch's place. Overwatch should have been a headline.
Do you happen to actually know what games might be the openers and closers? Without telling us the names of course.
And, are those big reveals for the average poster here in ERA?
The September Direct was one of the bigger blunders of the Switch era, IMO. No big first-party reveals at all (no, I don't count Xenoblade as big). Why did they hold off on all the announcements?
I do believe that they had barely nothing in store and were buying time. Probably nothing big either until second half of 2020 and 3rd parties already used most of their bullets, Nintendo is under heavy negotiations to get 3rd party games most probably and will buy time internally with ports and announcements of games that will come in a very distant future (like MP4, Bayo 3, BotW 2)
I know you want to remain below ground, but you do know, at least tell me that. You know what's coming, dont want names, quantity, dates, just confirmation that something interesting is indeed going to be shown during next direct.
A handheld release certainly could sustain its momentum imo.
My gut feeling is telling me that it might end up being the E3 shadow drop.
There's gonna be some awesome stuff in there. They won't go all out though. Stuff will be saved for E3. You don't need an insider to tell you that, though.
