Sidenote, but people calling DMC5 "DMCV" has annoyed the piss out of me for the past 2 years.

Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT5| Hello darkness my old friend...
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date

I think it was rumored as that and it stuck, but yeah it annoys me too even though I'm guilty of it sometimes
What happened to Panzer Dragoon and Streets of Rage 4 anyway? I'd find all this waiting a lot more reasonable if some other people got their games up on the eShop...
...how are there not more indie developers that's target this typically quiet period too?
Wasn't Celeste around this time of year? That did amazing - helped it was a solid game - but yea, I'd buy anything half decent at this point!

It is secretly going to be a Super Mario Kart tournament all weekend long at the booth.
They only took Yoshi and DQB2 to East, only two games as well.
PMD and AC only are then a reasonable guess. Direct in March (or beyond) confirmed.
I'm sure they could make it fit, as long as they play up the horror elements it'll work.
Only took 13 yearsAlmost at completion
We've had a really weird start to the year with things getting delayed or just not talked about.
I'm really looking forward to trying Panzer Dragoon. I heard its even getting a physical release too.
I kinda want to make an avatar bet for next Thursday. I really think it'll be A general Direct, an Animal Crossing Direct seems to obvious, and that's why it won't happen.
That's cool, I hadn't heard that.
Yea, certainly a slow start to the year - but perhaps that's to be expected. I mean, two new console launches in the Autumn will be a change of pace!
He said yes and is confused about how one hasn't happened yet.
I'll take that avatar bet with you. I think it'll be an Animal Crossing Direct for sure.
Whoever loses has to keep the avatar until AC release date on March 20th?
I don't want to be a cynic, but you guys should probabaly settle who wins in case there's nothing at all next week.
So, it's looking like I'll start my Switch life with BOTW, Odyssey, Tetris 99 physical edition, Astral Chain, Stardew Valley, and Mario Kart. Hmmm.
Those are definitely on the list, along with Animal Crossing, Mario Maker, Undertale, and Ring Fit.
Pokemon is a maybe, but it's down the list. What's Dragon Quest?
Dragon quest is an rpg series, I've only played 11 on switch but it was fantastic.
I'd definitely look into it if you are interested in RPGs at all.
I'm definitely going to look in to more new genres of games. My current game landscape is limited (I've had to rely on other people for games up until now), so I need to fix that. Stardew Valley will be my first casual game, BOTW my first open world game outside of Minecraft and 7 Days to Die (also my first Zelda game), Astral Chain my first non-shooter action game.
I completely disappointed... it's been passed 163 days since the last general direct, in which there wasn't NOTHING to special. They didn't announce ANYTHING on the 2019 GOTY. We hoped for a direct on january but we got just pokemon, and smash AGAIN ( the funny thing of that is half of the people wanted just to see the last smash fighter, and then nothing else). On february we have hoped for a direct, most of us (including me) were sure of that, but nintendo didn't announce NOTHING, and you know what? I'm pretty sure that the next week we will have just a f*ck**g Ac direct and nothing else. I completely shocked, people say that we need to chill out, it will happen when it will be the time... We have waited for 2 months with just hope and hype never repaid back. I will wait untill they will show the direct, but for now I'm literally disappointed on Nintendo.
That's cool, your list is really solid anyways but there are a lot really amazing games on switch so the list could get long if you looked at enough games lol
This has been the hardest wait for me as well. I'm fine overall, but coming off one of the worst Switch-era Directs to date imo (sep 2019) and then going this long with so little news is very frustrating. I still recognize that it's entitlement, though.
I'm still waiting on DQ Heroes to be localized outsider of Japan (like it already is on PC and PS4) because I know no Japanese.
Panzer Dragoon was listed as "Coming Soon" to Stadia show it should be showing up within the next month or two on Switch.
Would be way more interesting if they would really start when enough people tune in but chat before that and maybe share some tips and tricks.
Great combo with a sale or updates, greater combo with being influenced by the above.
"We'd also like to remind you of ARMS. There's no update or anything, but I asked Stan, who tuned in first, which old title we should highlight and he picked ARMS."
I can see, basically, two options. Option one is that DLC isn't taking all of Sakurai's work time, so the "next" project is actually concurrent with Fighters Passes, in which case we definitely could see it on the Switch, unless it's huge. Option two is that DLC is taking all of his time; in this case, it's impossible unless Switch gets, like, DS tier lifetime, and the next project is probably the "reconceptualized Smash".
In case of option one, it's generally hard to predict Sakurai given his supposed dislike of sequels, but I would guess he would want to tackle a genre which he didn't really mess with before too much. So not a fighting game, not a platformer, not an arcade puzzler, not a rail shooter or TPS or FPS (since it's close to TPS). Did he ever make an outright RPG? I'm afraid he could go for an RPG.
