Did you...not read my previous post?

The one above yours.

Edit: P.S. - The last Direct released in the month of May was specifically for Super Mario Maker 2 in 2019.

With that in mind, would a Direct focused solely on Famicom Detective Club get you hyped?

Also, talking about e3, do you think Nintendo will save nso announcements for e3?

Destiny, justice and retribrution will be mine.

don't make sense for Nintendo to do a Partners Showcase or a Nintendo Direct now, they have E3 2021 to reveal severals first/third party coming to Switch, problaby after the Capcom/Ubisoft/Square Enix presentation at E3 2021,if they reveal a Switch game(maybe yes, maybe not, Nintendo will just rebrand this anouncemt in they Nintendo Direct E32021 Presentation)@DannyBoi we don't know, Switch Online might stay with NES/SNES Games until the end of Switch lifecycle.

I think the only thing we'll see next month is a pokemon direct, if anything at all. Mainly since Pokemon directs happen before E3 if they have new games to show off, and then they generally just recap it during e3.

@VoidofLight

Didn't Game Freak already outline everything they have for the next eighteen months? Pokemon D & P will no doubt be Nintendo's Holiday, November game (games?). Arceus will be next year's Holiday release. And even though New Pokemon Snap is a late April release, I'm worried that showing any more than a few minutes of gameplay would be spoiling...the whole game in its entirety.

@Magician Arceus has already been announced as coming early 2022.

Nintendo are just downright unpredictable.

@jump

Arceus for early 2022?

Good lord I hope not, considering how empty that world looked and how poorly it was running.

@Magician Arceus is coming early 2022. Also, yes, they announced their line up.. however they haven't given any details on the games sense. Plus, there's probably some unannounced spin-off titles they can cover, and mobile games.

The empty world could also just be because it's a early build of the game, as to not spoil stuff. We'll just have to wait and see.

@Magician Well it wouldn’t be a GameFreak game if it was a technical stunning marvel ;p

@Magician yes is coming early 2022, Pokémon Company/Game Freak should have delayed the game to summer/fall 2022 just in case Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 release in early/fall 2022 and to make the game run better.

@Giancarlothomaz I mean, again, they probably used an older build for the trailer. Plus by the time the game launches, it'll probably run better, as gamefreak works fast. Sword and Shield was effectively produced in a year. Started development, with nothing on it in 2018.

Also, delaying it to Summer/early fall if BOTW 2 is going to release in early fall.. makes no sense. BOTW 2 would either be this year's holiday title or next year's November title.

Dammit, what the heck is going on with Nintendo and Microsoft? A wild Switch appeared on yet another Microsoft shelf!

Now I'm wondering if we have missed an XBox easter egg in a Nintendo presentation. They can be sneaky lol.

@GrailUK I don't know. Only bethrin the magic owl knows. Who lives in my subconscious.

@DannyBoi From what has beem gleened fron Phil Spencer, Microsoft are wanting a pathway into Japan. Most people read that as an aquisition (lol, fair enough with American corporate!) but maybe it is a partnership with a company dominating Japan and not in direct competition with them. Games for the Switch, access to a new market for MS. I don't know.

Tomorrow is going to be tomorrow. Just as the day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow.

@VoidofLight but 2021 holiday title is Pokémon Brilant Diamond e Shining Pearl, and Game Freak are notorious for how badly they optimamazi it games,@GrailUK Microsoft buying Nintendo? oh no! they gonna destroy Mario, Legend of Zelda, like they did with Banjo Kazooie.

Hopefully not. Their last round of Pokemon remakes (Let's Go) were released the same holiday season as Smash Ultimate. Both games still did very well.

Two different niches @Giancarlothomaz. Pokemon and Zelda aren't even similar games. So Holiday 2021 is sort of possible for BotW 2, but I still think Holiday 2022 is more plausible, since Legend's Arceus is coming early 2022.
