@TheJGG I'm betting that the headline game will probably be Breath of The Wild 2. Either that, or Skyward Sword HD.

@VoidofLight If it's Skyward Sword HD I'll laugh hysterically for five minutes straight, and then I'll smash my desk in frustration, then I'll turn off the Direct.

Surely there's better games to headline than Skyward Sword HD. I love the game but it should have a limited marketing campaign like a Dragon Quest game on Switch.

@TheJGG Honestly, I feel you. I think Skyward Sword HD really should have limited marketing, but seeing as it's the only game that could be considered big for this year, it'd probably headline. That is, unless they make Pokemon the headline game, which would be odd, given Gamefreak never let that happen before.

@VoidofLight Don't worry, it's only April. There will be more to come, it's just unannounced as of yet. You heard Shuntaro Furukawa, he knows that underdelivering means losing consumers.

@TheJGG True. For all we know, there could be a general direct next week, or a trailer dropped any time this year for another game. I doubt we'll get anything except Pokemon in May though, since it's too close to E3 by then. I'll probably bet on them making BOTW 2 the focus if nothing gets announced this month honestly.

Another reason why I'm glad my gaming never happened while Yamauchi was in charge. He was ruthless and did the right things but he was a pretty flawed human. He fired all of his family when he first took charge of Nintendo in 1949 after all.

And that... that's probably why Square left Nintendo for PlayStation after Final Fantasy VI.

@TheJGG From what I've gathered, I think the man disliked gaming as a whole, and thought it was just a fad that'd never last. Kind of like how people once thought the Internet itself was just a fad.

@VoidofLight The man who told Gunpei Yokoi back in the sixties to make a toy for the Christmas season hating games. And having executive produced literally thousands of games before his death, he still believed in it till the end.

I do wonder when he said this; it'd be funny if he said it right after Final Fantasy VII or something.

@VoidofLight @TheJGG Skyward Sword could be the headline game, if it's getting the Bowsers Fury treatment, but there has been no indication of that so far!

Although, if SS is the headline game and BOTW2 is the surprise, does that make it too Zelda centric? I think the theory that they won't announce anymore ports until after SS has been on sale makes sense, lets say that announcement is the end of August, would they hold BOTW2 back until then if it's the holiday game?

@MarioBrickLayer Breath of the Wild 2 isn’t going to be the holiday game. Too late in the year for something thar big to come out in a couple months.

@TheJGG I meant video games moreso than games, but I wonder if he actually disliked video games, or if it were just Jrpgs.

Smash is most likely to be the opener and if there's 2 fighters announced at E3 like in 2019 then probably the second one is later on in the Direct.

I just hope the Smash stuff won’t take up that much tome, since 2018 wasn’t great.

@TheJGG I’m with you. I hope the series takes a break after this one, since it’s getting kind of annoying having it take slots from directs, and annoying when they take up the entire direct (like 2018’s e3).

I want actual stuff @VoidofLight not a 35 minute Sakurai presentation on the next Smash fighter, and then ten minutes of actual games. 2018's E3 was quite boring, I don't remember anything from it apart from Smash Smash Smash, which is just reliance.

Hmm, I must have forgotten Nintendo's 2018 E3, then .... Not sure I now remember which games were shown during that, although I must have seen some I liked! But if it was all Smash stuff, presumably, they didn't have much else to show at that time? It's not like they show that instead of other games, if they had anything to show

@BruceCM True, but it’s still disappointing that they only really had smash, especially for people who don’t really enjoy the game that much.

Has anyone seen the trailer for Wonderbox on Apple Arcade?

If someone can make this, then Nintendo can make a Zelda Maker, that would be a great surprise for the end of the Direct!

It's digusting how a series like Smash that sells more than Zelda and Mario get's featured in the Directs when there's news for it. 2018 E3 should have been 2 hours long of just Daemon X Machina, Ninjala and Torna The Golden Country. Better yet cancel Smash so Nintendo can focus on real games like Doshin, Sushi Striker and FlingSmash!!! ;p
