Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Woah, guys. An entire direct for October might have just leaked, no joke.

Take it with a grain of salt of course.

lmao don't put your faith in these kinds of sites

@TheFrenchiestFry think I don't know that? I was just sharing it, cause there's nothing else going on.

It'll happen and if it doesn't it'll happen later. So either way its happening without a shadow of a doubt

honestly at this point I expect that we just don't get a full proper one until next. With all of the covid stuff and how clearly it seems to have impacted their release schedule and general output, it's just been easier to dish out the announcements piecemeal until they have enough put together to justify a full direct. That being said I think whatever direct we finally get is gonna be worth the wait.

@GilbertXI Lol, the Kirby game doesn't even have the right name. Though, they got close considering it sounds like they were aiming for it to sound like a Kirby Fighters sequel.

...but anything that suggests we'll be getting Galaxy 2 as DLC isn't even worth considering. The ooonly way that'll work is if 3D All-Stars becomes a free app at the end of it's exclusivity period, with all 4 games available for separate purchase from it acting as a loader (but with no soundtracks probs).

@link3710 I agree. I don't buy any Galaxy 2 rumors.

Well, Bravely Default II is rated, and as such probably landing before the end of the year. That's another pending announcement. Though admittedly, that one will probably be the big star of the October Third Party Showcase, so I'm guessing a Late November / Early December release.

@link3710 im hoping if this year its October. I dont think I'm grabbing pikmin 3 and November and December will be all hyrule warriors and immortals.

@link3710 oh yeah I forgot about that game. Still very excited for it though.

So if Bravely Default II does hit in December, how do you think Nintendo's 2020 lineup will be remembered in retrospect:

Jan: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE: Encore, Brain Training (in EU)
Feb:
Mar: Animal Crossing: NH, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX
April:
May: Xenoblade Chronicles DE
June: Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics
July: Paper Mario: the Origami King
Aug:
Sept: Super Mario 3D All Stars
Oct: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, Pikmin 3 Deluxe
Nov: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
Dec: Bravely Default II, Fitness Boxing 2

Kirby Fighters 2 has been shadow dropped!

@RR529 Better update that list, you're already missing a game lol

...still, I'm sad Adeleine isn't playable. Hoping for further unlockable characters but... guess we'll see.

@RR529 pretty mediocre, not good not bad. Nintendo is saying that a whole slew of software releases will come out soon, looking forward to that. I hope MP4 is going well, I worry about retro sometimes.

Did not see that coming.

@RR529 Not too bad on its own, not that appealing compared to 2019's lineup.

Jan: New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe
Feb: Tetris 99
Mar: Yoshi's Crafted World
Apr:
May:
June: Super Mario Maker 2,
July:
Aug:
Sep: Link's Awakening, Super Kirby Clash
Oct: Luigi's Mansion, Ring Fit Adventure,
Nov: Pokemon Sword/Shield, Mario and Sonic,
Dec:

I hope Nintendo continues the pattern of having tons of great games near the end of the year, such as All-Stars.

This is the third Kirby game so far, right? Pretty good.

@GilbertXI Yeah, we get one every year (Well, one was on 3DS during the Switch's lifespan). Though, typically, we get 2-4 small spinoff titles for every mainstream title that releases. We're likely to hit the three year mark on Kirby Star Allies release without the next major title released (it'll be March 2021), which means we can expect the next major Kirby in either 2021 or 2022.

I’m sure the next big Kirby game will be some time next year given the usual time periods between releases. It’s actually already been way longer than normal, which is very promising given the director said he’s hoping the next one will be the series’ pinnacle, though it could also be Covid that’s been keeping it. I was actually speculating earlier today that we’d get the double announcement of Kirby Fighters 2 and a teaser reveal for the main series entry coming early to mid next year, but I guess it’ll probably be one of 2021’s big Fall/holiday titles that they love to have so many of these days.
