We also know Aspyr is working on a port of Star Wars: Republic Commando as well as something to do with Knights of the Old Republic. Although I can't remember if they're working on ports of the first two games or the third entry?

Keep casual gamers informed while making core gamers like us frustrated.

There's 89k watching the Nintendo America stream right now while 2k are watching the UK Nintendo stream.
Interesting to see what those figures are when it actually starts. Interesting that the UK stream allows for chat whereas the American one has it disabled.

@GilbertXI No but I can't believe it'll be much different in the UK chat which is why I find it strange. All these kinds of streams have atrocious chats.

That happens for pretty much any Direct. But I do think we need to temper things a bit. I really don't expect to hear anything brand-new in terms of first party. Even a Zelda collection I would say we've pretty much guessed. But like, a sudden announcement of Splatoon 3 or Odyssey 2 or Mario Kart 9... personally, I don't think so. This is only supposed to be for first half of 2021.
It's been mentioned in the other thread already Emily Rogers doesn't know what's in the Direct. It's just her calming people who are expecting everything and anything to be announced.
@rallydefault I would be shocked if Nintendo has no first party games for the rest of the first half of the year. Even last year they managed to get something out. I do agree we should not expect anything major, but a smaller first party game should be something we get before end of July.

@rallydefault I don’t think BotW2 will be there since the Direct is for the first half of 2020 but also that game was already announced. I feel like if they put a “One more thing...” bonus at the end, that could be a non-first half of 2021, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s was a SMO2 trailer. There will definitely be something first-Party though, I think a new Zelda game or collection is likely. Definitely an Animal Crossing update too.
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
@BabyYoda71 they didn’t mentioned anything about games being announced or unannounced, just that it would be for upcoming games in the first half of the year.
@jump
They didn't say it was only games in the first half of the year. They said that was the FOCUS. Focus could simply mean that the first 35-40 minutes are for the first half of the year, and the last 10-15 minutes are for things further in the future.
I think that was the only time we ever heard a Skyward Sword rumour though. So it might have just been a mistake.
Whereas with Metroid Prime Trilogy, we've had indications like that on several occasions, meaning it's almost definitely real.
Be careful on Twitter. Seeing one a lot of people talk about "leaked" announcements for the Direct. Saw what some of them were by accident. Not saying they are genuine and of course won't say what they are just in case they are real. But just saying to be careful.
