@FragRed Well, leaks that people actually believe? Not often. Pokemon almost always technically gets leaked, but no one believes it because it ends up being one of a million anonymous leaks on 4chan. Mario & Rabbids did, but that was a Ubisoft game.

Paper Mario did get leaked, but we had nothing other than 'Paper Mario is coming'. Smash Ultimate also had some rumors I think, but I don't think anyone committed for it. The Paper Mario leak said a Metroid game was coming soon too but we'll see on that. Federation Force was 'leaked' too, but that was after the Blast Ball mode had already been revealed and was again a super vague 'More Metroid is coming' that may or may not have been wishful thinking when we got such a weird spinoff out of nowhere. Oh, and Pikmin 3 Deluxe was of course leaked. They got the title right so... yeah that was probably a real leak.

I think that's all from the last 5 years, people are free to add more if I missed anything.

@Magician Crossed posts, but I don't count that one exactly. Paper Mario had already had a major leak from Sabi two months earlier, so it makes more sense to attribute it to that.

@DannyBoi next Friday is gonna make one year since we don't have a general Nintendo Direct, i'm suspicious theres a general Nintendo Direct in 28 of august, i'm tired of waiting for Nintendo to do a general Nintendo Direct, is Pikmin 3 Deluxe is going to be the Holiday title of Switch for 2020?or Nintendo will anounce a big game like a Mario Kart 9 or Super Mario All-Star 2/3D?

@Giancarlothomaz

MK9 remains highly unlikely while MK8D continues to sell millions of copies every year.

@Magician Given Mario Kart 8 DX's contribuitons to Switch sales, I wouldn't be surprised if MK9 is set to be a launch title for the next system. It'd a huge launch title, especially if it's paired with a major single-player title like 3D Zelda or 3D Mario.

Mario Kart Tour had the same team that was working on Mario Kart 8, even if it's mobile game they wouldn't have had the time to work on MK9 for release this year.

its now

Shadow Drop:

lol so much for the Direct on Friday. Can we please stop giving those ''leakers'' credit?

So a rhythm/music heavy Direct rather than visual novels?

Cool cool.

Edit: Collection of Saga? I wonder if that makes a GB console for NSO less likely?

Yeah, that just sort of appeared out of nowhere .... Cool but nothing there for me, sadly!

A partner showcase now only makes sense, if the Direct on Friday is a Mario Direct or a game specific Direct.

The Taiko games look fun. I really enjoyed Puyo Puyo Tetris but don't really feel the need for a sequel. Skipped through a majority of the rest, not much else of interest.

They're not going to have a direct tomorrow now ....? Why wouldn't you think this was the one that was leaked?

Well that was a bit random. I guess there could still be a proper one on friday. That partner thing was maybe just the stuff they couldn't fit into the big Direct?

I'm starting to think Nintendo has nothing for the rest of the year besides Pikmin 3.

Well I have always something positive to say about a direct, but with this one, I need to try really hard, the ff gb port looks okay ?😅

I could be tempted by the Creed boxing game but something looks slightly off about it.

if there isnt one on friday its over for their 2020. stop defending them for once. indies can only go so far, while its great so many of you like them stop pretending its a good year for the switch.
