Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Dezzy I make no promises there, for all we know they're working on Xenoblade Chronicles X2. Not that I'd be opposed to that or anything.

@link3710

I'd be fine with that too. I liked XCX a lot. I'd slightly prefer XC3 though. I still feel like they could perfect that formula.

@rallydefault

What you on about?

We will hopefully get a proper date for Grid Autosport, we know it's coming this month but when? Available after the Direct would be superb.

New Ace Attorney game would be wonderful, that is if there is any bit of truth left that series isn't dead.

Well, I’d have been happier if they’d announced a new entry, but you’ll find no complaints from me about that Xenoblade remake. Hope they add some new content to it (but it’s already a perfect game in my eyes).

Wow, that was really bad. Probably Nintendo's worst Direct since the Switch came out. 3rd party announcements are cool and all, but they aren't new anymore.

XC Definitive edition wasn't even retextured, which honestly is the main thing that would get me to rebuy the game.

Like, they didn't give us ANYTHING new.

That was better than I expected. Lots of digital-only stuff, saves me quite a bit a money.

Well, that's good enough for 2019. I'll now look forward to the January Direct.

I'm not happy or mad about the direct. Just indifferent. Some cool stuff announced but im interested to see how 2020 shapes up now. Trials of mana looks good but im not a Tokyo mirage fan, a xenoblade fan, or an animal crossing fan. Snes games were the highlight for me though 😁

@iKhan They said it would mostly focus on the rest of 2019. They still have a lot of this year so hopefully the new stuff would get shown in January.

@farrow000

They said the same thing last September when they announced Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion. I expected at least one new first party game announcement for next year.

Nintendo has to save something for The Game Awards in December.

Cant believe im saying this, but im Cool with the beginning of the year being dead for me. Plan on grabbing the witcher in December so that should keep me busy q1

@iKhan Uh... did you look at XC? It's not only new textures, but those are clearly all new models, and brand new locations.

OH MY GOD! Moon is coming out worldwide?! I never thought I'd see the day! Announcement of the year for me.

@SKTTR
Any Japanese exclusive upcoming Switch games from Direct ?

@Anti-Matter

Well, my wish was finally granted...kinda.

Pilotwings (SNES) is coming to Nintendo Switch and I couldn't be much happier!

@iKhan 2019 was very similar to 2017 in quantity so it's a reasonable guess to think 2020 will be like 2018 (more relaxed lineup for the whole year with a focus on ports/remasters).

I suppose that's fair. I just had a burning hunch that 2020 would be big given that we are due for Bayonetta 3. EAD Tokyo is due for a game, the Mario Kart team is due for a game, and I have a very strong suspicion that BOTW2 is coming out next year.
