Dixie's on her way to the Game Awards!


To watch other reveals, not necessarily hers, because she's a good sport while she waits her turn.

I'm assuming the actual anger is about the uk
Well hey, I was right about this being just like Nintendo's E3 2015 presentation!

Muppets was the best part.
The wii u had no games becuase 3ds and trying to give the switch a good launch

I hope we never have a repeat of that

And no way that will happen with the switch

Though we might get a wii situation in the transition to switch 2

What I don't get is why did Nintendo announce more Smash DLC 3 months ago if we aren't getting Fighter #5 until Jan/Feb 2020? Why not save the announcement of more DLC for then? It's going to be a potential 4-5 month gap between the announcement and a new character.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

This thread title is even more accurate than expected!

I think we can now tentatively deconfirm any character who would have made a big splash at TGA, like Master Chief.

Welp, I got the NMH3 trailer and the Muppets/Goose skit out of that, so can't say I'm completely empty-handed.

That and the general schadenfreude of Sabi, Verge, and Fatman getting btfo.

Most likely scenario now is a Nintendo Direct in January revealing FP5 followed by a Smash Direct in February breaking FP5 down. Would've been nice to have the reveal before the holidays but oh well.

Really nice of Nintendo to let the NMH3 trailer rock for TGA and get people warmed up for Travis as character 5

I'm thinking Smash Direct in January that not only finally gives us DLC 5 and probably shadow dropped but also details on Fighter Pass 2 and it's first character.

Even with the Nintendo no show their Q1 isn't that bad with Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Animal Crossing and February would have the regular Direct

I kind of expected no character reveal. They chose the 5 characters before they decided on how to market them. Now that we don't have to worry about "the Game Awards audience" anymore, fp5 is allowed to be cute and silly.

Unfortunately, Sabi's gonna ride her "there's a hidden meaning to this tweet" response to John Gamexplain all the way to the bank as her being a definite, undeniable insider.

Get ready for a whole nother month of her bullshit.

Yeah, 2020 might be another rough year for Switch actually. I mean, Nintendo spent the latter half of 2019 dropping straight bombs, so a lot of their talent is probably tapped anyway. I'm sure they'll have stuff, but with this awards show no show, it might be worth really evaluating what we're even going to see from Nintendo in 2020 as a whole.



I'm really surprised they didn't show up with something else though. For as much as they played their Switch ads, they comically had nothing to reveal. I mean MUA3 DLC is whatever, No More Heroes III is great but holy hell was that trailer a not friendly way to show off the game to people (but totally on brand for Suda and exciting for his fans), and Bravely Default was the biggest announcement... with a weird numbering to boot (and as someone who thinks Bravely Default is just kind of super generic to play, oof at that reveal all the more).

Fighter 5 is either a mega name that warrants its own reveal and time in the spotlight, or a niche character no one knows about that they announce a few days before release.

When I saw Green Day and Sonic on the screen (before I noticed other games were too) I thought they were gonna do a song for the film.

Worst of all is Sabi is going to act all smug about this. Even if they didn't leak a single TGA announcement.
Already being smug posting about "my source being right about no reveal".

Smash speculation is going to kill me eventually if they stick around.

Honestly considering the shit that happened with the Tories today, not getting a Smash character tonight feels rather insignificant.

Perspective is good, I guess.
