We're now roughly 24 hours out from the start of this year's Game Awards hosted by the one and only Geoff Keighley. It's a time where the industry comes together and reflects on the year that was, along with all the amazing games released.
Nintendo will, of course, be in attendance, and like everyone else en route to this annual event - it is excited. Could it have something planned, though? While there are no guarantees, this tweet from the Nintendo of America Twitter account has certainly got fans hopes up:
At last year's event, Nintendo revealed the first downloadable fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In case you forgot, it was Joker from the Persona series.
Last week, Geoff said this year's Game Awards would feature "around 10 new game" reveals in a 'Ask Me Anything' discussion on Reddit.
We have a bunch of brand new games being announced at the show -- I think there are around 10 new games/projects being revealed if you want to count the things that no one has heard about yet.
Nintendo also leads in terms of the amount of nominations at this year's event - the highlight is Smash Bros. Ultimate, which is in the running for Game of the Year.
Do you expect one of these reveals to be a Nintendo or Smash related announcement? Will Smash take home the GOTY award? Share your thoughts below.

Smash + Bayo 3 trailer perhaps?
This is your Captain speaking to check your hype levels for tomorrow!
Cue fan disappointment when nothing big happens.
Keeping my expectations in check. For all I know, it could be minor.
@TheAwesomeBowser Smash will most certainly be in it and maaaayyyybe botw2... (just maybe)
My summoning circle for Shin Megami Tensei V is ready.
I think I speak for all of us when I say I'd rather have them announce a Nintendo Labo Pachinko Kit over a Smash DLC reveal.
Why watch it when all the Nintendo news blogs will post anything that happens within seconds? Spare yourselves the ads!
As far as DLC characters go, i'm predicting Either Sora from KingdomHearts, Crash Bandicoot, or Master Chief (After the recent leak from King Zell, the person who leaked entire Nintendo Directs correctly and has never gotten anything wrong)
I'm booked during a lot of the time TGA are going on, so I'll have to catch up later.
I mean, considering that we haven't heard a peep about FP1-5, this is given.
@patbacknitro18 I think you're on your own on that one mate!
@YagaMaki You're gonna eat your cardboard and you're gonna like it -_-
NL should be pushing people to watch TGA just b/c we don't get too many chances to see Reggie any more and it should be interesting to see what he has to say.
Which is funny, b/c the same guy who wrote this article wrote that one 2 days ago.

I will wait from Nintendolife the breakthrough what Switch games has been announced during Game Award so i can find the games that i might have interest about.
“The Sequel to Breath of the Wild is now... available to demo. Coming Summer 2020.”
Haha. One can dream.
@link3710 My money is on Breath of the Wild 2. Bayonetta 3 is also a good shout but I don't think we'll get to see both.
@NotTelevision I'm positive it's coming next year but probably not until the end of the year. A demo would be beyond amazing.
Anything metroid... remake, new, 2d, 3d... anything
Last year they also confirmed Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and a Switch version of Mortal Kombat 11. Wonder what surprises await us now.
@OorWullie Yeah I’m with you. Nintendo will have a tentpole release for winter 2020 and BOTW 2 will likely be next year’s Smash Bros./ Pokémon.
I was just joking about the demo. Nintendo doesn’t need to demo stuff like Mario and Zelda because they know it will sell anyway.
Bayonetta 3 and Smash ... that is for sure ..... maybe Metroid Trilogy?
I am willing MP trlogy into existence.
But it would also be nice to get a confirmation of another third party, like last year. Maybe RE3 remake or something?
BotW2 is way to big for this event, Nintendo is definitely going to be saving that for E3 2020
Smash Bros. DLC pack 5 is a huge possiblity, but as to who it will be that is a huge mystery! HYPE!!
(but let's not get too hype just in case)
I hope Smash beats Death Stranding for the game of the year
Can't wait to watch the whole show like last year. I actually enjoy it just as much as e3, if not more.
I'm not gonna expect anything except for Death Stranding to win one nomination just so Hideo Kojima could come on stage and give Konami a piece of his mind for banning him from the event the years before.
Finally pikmin 4!!
I lean towards new IP. That's clearly been a priority for the company. I expect something exciting and surprising. The success of the Switch has given them the opportunity to try something new.
Meh, last year was pretty boring (they didn't win anything IIRC). I'll stick with a liveblog or a good Twitter feed.
On the other hand, Reggie is back. Maybe he'll troll everyone again with Metroid or something lol.
How about... Wave Race
Reggie is coming back only for 1 thing and its to deny mother 3
7th dragon III code vfd port
Last year Joker, this year we still hope for Persona 5 royal or normal
Tbh they say the same thing last year, not gonna get my hopes up again.
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/12/nintendo_tells_fans_to_tune_into_the_game_awards_tomorrow_reveals_incoming
DRAGON QUEST 9&10 PLEASE!
Smash reveal is all I'm hoping for, anything bigger should really wait to spruce up a Ninty direct!
Can't wait for the Cranky Kong in Smash Bros reveal.
Don't worry Nintendo, I've been reminding myself the hype for over a month now.
Sunset Riders & Turtles In Time Remastered.
Pikmin 4 maybe?
@NintoRich I thought Excite Truck on Wii deserved a follow up. That game was great.
Metroid Prime 4 trailer incoming...or just a teaser.
No more Smash DLC reveals, that should not even count as one of the 10 unannounced games.
I just want Reggie to announce Mother 3 is coming to the west
So what time is this starting UK time?
@Joe-b There was Excitebots: Trick Racing on Wii which was a follow up to Excite Truck, not sure if you're aware of that one.
Between this and the game awards saying we definitely don't want to miss Reggie's moment, it's hard not to be excited.
@wazlon yes, thank you though. What a fun racer. Loved Excite Truck.
There's a rumour going around that the Halo Master Chief Collection is coming to Switch.... but it's also rumoured to be announced at the next direct not the game awards.
@retro_player_22 and last year they had the best announcement yet no one not one soul new about Ultimate Alliance 3 and the game is amazing
New DK game 3d or 2d and or a new starfox game come on Nintendo
portal 1/2 for the Nintendo switch
Even though I want to see what Nintendo reveals, I'm still skipping the awards and save myself watching cringy famous "personalities". Reveals will be close to realtime on sites and social media anyway.
There's some stuff just not worth getting hyped for though. Like BotW 2 is just too big for Nintendo to reveal more at this show. That's something they'll do as their own thing or the E3 direct.
Bayonetta 3 seems to me to be a franchise that's most well suited for this type of event and the audience it has.
Metroid fits the event/audience as well, but given the restart of MP4, it would be too early for any real reveal. But, Metroid Prime Trilogy is a possibility. Betting on Smash DLC and perhaps some 3rd party reveals for Switch.
@JR150 At some point we really need some more info on SMT5
Sounds like some lame attempt to get us to pretend that marketing stunt has any worth or merit.
Post the news tomorrow and wake me then.
@dougphisig
Join in the summoning circle! We will chant until it arrives!
@PlayedNSlayed 8.30 east coast so 1.30 am UK
So they tweeted to make sure we watch for marvel ultimate alliance 3 dlc
Sadly there was nothing
@TheAwesomeBowser Called it.
@tobsesta99 Haha yes.
