Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT6| OT7 Has Been Rated in Korea

Man, Rabbids really gets janky when you hit level 3. It's clear that game was a little rushed.
Anyway, I'm slightly surprised that people think Xenoblade is June. I could see it as December easily.
As I've said before, I've got plenty to play. In fact I'm not going buy the new AC because I'm worried it will take up too much time. But I think we know the Nintendo H1 lineup. I think this is everything until the Pokemon DLC.
Which is odd. What were they going to do before the delay?

I've been wondering this for the last week and I'm having trouble finding any solid info:
How many Nintendo games were dated at the moment Xenoblade Chronicles 2 released?
I thought it was 0 at the time but I'm not sure. If my memory is correct, this situation is not as unprecedented as some are thinking. The only difference is AC was not in December, but March, which makes the gap a bit longer. But having no games in our future with hard dates must have happened before.

There is no reason for Xenoblade Chronicles to be a December game.
Ok they have done it once during the whole Switch era and it was an eShop only game with no physical release. But for bigger releases they haven't done it and I don't see a reason why they would suddenly change their modus operandi.
Just because they are not doing what we want doesn't mean they are doomed =P
Nintendo could EASILY release just one more game for the second semester and just be happy printing animal crossing money ...
Well history could say otherwise. The last two main Xenoblade games came out in December.
I can't think of any Nintendo remake that has been announced for over a year before release.
XCX came out in April in Japan though
how does THAT affect your HISTORY
They wouldn't have announced Xenoblade in Sept of 2019 if release was intended to be Dec. 2020.
The worst thing about it is that they shadowdropped it, promoted it for one week, and then never talked about it ever again...
It was a hella fun game, and Nintendo sent it to die, whyyy.
I sympathise with people who aren't catered for, because I've been like that in the past with Nintendo systems for long stretches - it's not a problem for me on Switch, personally. The problem we've got is the old subjective/objective chestnut which always rears its head here. Objectively, Nintendo have had some sort of news every month since E3 and they've released a good number of games in that time, too. Subjectively, that won't appeal to everyone and it won't keep everyone happy.
And some of that news has absolutely shaped what's coming in 2020. We've been able to rule out a Pokemon RPG because we've got two Pokemon expansions coming. We know more Smash characters are planned. We know Xenoblade DE and Bravely Default 2 and high-profile indies like Axiom Verge 2 and Silksong are coming. I'm hoping for a Direct soon like most of us - but this situation isn't completely crazy, the sky isn't falling in, and we need some perspective on these things.
Don't take my blunt way of addressing people personally - yeah, you expressed yourself a little clumsily, but like I said in that first reply to you, I a) do want a Direct and b) I do agree that if there isn't a Direct this month we're in very unusual territory.
yeah, I almost feel like they used it as a test to see if they could get away with that kind of promotion
a tragic, heartbreaking test
Hmm
Sabi was confident on a Indie Direct this month.
Nintendo likes to show indies a week before GDC/Pax so we know it's probably planned for the 9-15 week.
If Nate is right and this silence is intentional by Nintendo and not a result of Covid19 then the Direct is definitely planned for this week.

It's highly unlikely I agree, just pointing out past patterns.
*checks notes* history for North America remains the same :p
Good point though
That is kinda pulling 'yeah, but that doesn't count for reasons'.
It's unclear if BG3 will even be on current gen so Switch 2 probably
That was about 10 months, I checked before my post because I had a hunch it was the longest.
We're comparing two new games at the time to a port from two generations of ago.
Hello everyone. First of all, I'd like to say sorry if my english isn't good, it is not my native language. I'd like to introduce myself: I'm Bochica, and even though I've had an account here from the beginning of the year, I never decided to post. Actually, I had some little infos about previous Direct, but as these were not particularly interesting, I never posted them.
I know that rumors and fake leaks are going well recently, as everyone is impatient, even more about Zelda. To you, I will probably only be another one random who claims having exclusive informations.
Tbh, a friend of me is working on european localizations of Nintendo livestreams, for some time already. For obvious reasons, I won't say where and since when he is employed. We met at the end of the week and have talked about zelda.
The team in charge of editing would have finished last week, which means the presentation is happening soon (there is usually, at max, 10 days before diffusion). My friend didn't work on all the presentation, the tasks being shared. In his part, there would be more infos about XC who'd propose online functionalities and in which we'd get two new regions to explore. For a release late May.
Super Metroid would also be part of it, with the only date of "2020", there probably won't be a Prime Trilogy announced during this direct. It is possible that the announcement of the Trilogy figures in another part of the Direct, but before letting you expect anything, it would be strange to set it apart from the remake, hence it's not likely to happen.
As my friend and I are both big fans of Zelda, he didn't skip the chance to detail me the teaser from the sequel which is supposed to be revealed in this presentation. I don't know where all those recent leakers have found their informations, but nothing of the sort would actually appear in this short trailer.
According to my friend, we would see one by one all the different peoples of the game after the victory: already known towns and villages would be quite the sames, without visible changes, except for Hateno village which would be way bigger and have more inhabitants. Everywhere in the field would be built tiny houses inhabited by farmers (as he told this to me, I immediately had the picture of 2014's teaser in my mind). He explained to me that the trailer was speeding eventually, at the end, where an earthquake would disturb the peace of the different peoples.
Something would come to hide the sun and every descendants of the champions, each one in their town, would look up at the same time, searching for the reason of this darkening : Hyrule Castle would be lifted into the air. In parallel of the first teaser at E3, a series of similar pictures would come to end it, the only moments where we would actually see Link and Zelda. No title were indicated, only a "Holidays 2020".
He also told me of Ori and Mass Effect specifically, because he was surprised to see these announced during the lineup spotlight at the end. That's honestly all about I have to give you, thanks for reading. Didn't know if it's the place to share all of this, sorry if it's not the case...

Yeah the GDC thing does indicate that the Indies was planned for next week probably.
Man if we get that before a General people are going to flip (more than usual, that is)
I mean, this is probably fake, but hey, it's something other than direct begging.
I think you need to get yourself verified, else I'm fairly sure this is ban-worthy. Just a heads up.
As far as the info, nothing's that out of place. A Super Metroid remake being the next 2D Metroid would not be recieved well though...
you going to need to get verified. this place isn't that kind (you going be banned) to those who post fake "leaks" like other places
Era is more etiquette compared to 4chan and has backed insiders, so you can't just post leaks without verification.
I know i know we're all drowning in dispair but i give it a hole 5% chance to be legit.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo localizes in house?
also I'd be VERY surprised if "nothing changes" in terms of villages. one of their main challenges with this sequel will be differentiation.
but thanks for changing things up in here lol
Well, no offense meant, but your post certainly is an unusual one in this very thread, haha.
It's just that you need to be verified if you want to share things like this. And if you're not verified, no one is really going to take you seriously, and you'll likely catch a ban.
I look forward to seeing this for myself... or you taking the ban.
Either way--color me intrigued.
It's fake because Sakamoto said that Super Metroid and Fusion don't need remakes.
Also Metroid V has been hinted at so hard it's not even funny.
