what, you don't like 2D Mario? What if it's good idkThis is like the ultimate shit sandwich, so probably will happen if it’s a mini.

Ehhh not sure the Tuesday timing matters much then.6 PM Pacific on Wednesday the 14th
Actually yes. I love 2D Mario more than 3D. I just mean the rest of it. Would be better to have just made this all Twitter drops with more focus on each announcement over the next month.what, you don't like 2D Mario? What if it's good idk
I'm kinda just throwing everything out there but yeah, if it were a mini I would imagine 2D Mario would be outWhy would 2D Mario show up in a Mini Direct? Do we understand the magnitude of a brand new 2D Mario broken away from the New series?
You are allowed exactly one cool thing at a mini. 2D Mario could be it.Why would 2D Mario show up in a Mini Direct? Do we understand the magnitude of a brand new 2D Mario broken away from the New series?
That’s very very close to my predictions!Alright, here are my predictions for Tuesday, left appropriately loose for the circumstances:
- Style Savvy. I don't think Syn Sophia has moved on from the series.
- Nintendo Switch Sports Golf. I'm not sure if this will find its way into a Direct of any kind, but I think there's a decent chance they go ahead and talk about it.
- 2D Mario. I was joking above, but I do think it's coming. It feel pretty confident that it won't be a "New" branded game, but Nintendo could disappoint me.
- Metroid Prime Remastered. Yeah, I believe the rumors, sue me. Comes with an assuring mention of Metroid Prime 4.
- Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. I suspect that these will be separate $40 releases, rather than being bundled together. This is also what I'm hoping for, as I'd much rather get a physical copy of just Wind Waker. Like Metroid, I expect some reassurance about the state of the next game.
- Those Final Fantasy games people are hoping for. Yeah, I don't follow other publishers too well.
- Everybody's 1-2 Switch. I know it's thought of as a "blue ocean" sort of game, but I think an online-oriented party game does have a place in a Nintendo Direct, mini or otherwise.
ah I see, more like a nice cheese sandwich on shit breadActually yes. I love 2D Mario more than 3D. I just mean the rest of it. Would be better to have just made this all Twitter drops with more focus on each announcement over the next month.
2D Xenoblade is betterYou are allowed exactly one cool thing at a mini. 2D Mario could be it.
I’m down for a spin off, that’d qualify as cool.2D Xenoblade is better
We have to latch on to only the negative things (or interpret things as negatives even though we don’t really know anything). It’s just part of the cycle and that cycle condenses as we get closer to the supposed direct.No, no , no. Don't tell me we're going back to doomposting again. I thought we were all in hype mode. Seriously, I myself believe in it being a big juicy direct.
I actually love the old shit year idea, just not so much the old shit we seem to be getting as that was all available last generation (which admittedly had a small user base). Give me the obscure and expensive stuff Nintendo!『OLD SHIT DIRECT MINI』
Yeah, I’d love it for the OLED to replace the standard Switch, but could see Nintendo discontinuing the OLED while keeping the 6.2” LCD Switch around as the base hybrid model. Potentially at the same price!I was genuinely expecting the OG Switch to be discontinued and the OLED to be price-dropped into being the new de facto base model, while Drake takes the OLED's spot as the premium model.
But
Based on the way these things are all still selling, I really dunno anymore..

Someone in the Snitch discord who works in Games Media just said the next Direct is a partner, if someone else is in there they can also verify this claim tho don't feel comfortable sharing screenshots even tho its a public Discord.
@Rareware I really don't know the contents of the Direct. I know when it's scheduled, but I don't have any intel on what's actually being shown.
Spoilering this in case you don't want to know what's supposedly on the horizon:
- Same basic form factor, possibly even going as far as using the OLED dock (since there are some ventilation-related things in it that don't seem to be utilized by any current Switch chassis, it's possibly futureproofed for the upcoming Switch)
- A bonkers leap in power thanks to a new chip that's around PS4ish levels (more or less depending on clock speeds, but what was leaked of the chip by the Nvidia hack confirms we're around that ballpark)
- Nvidia's DLSS upscaling is built in, taking that "PS4 level" up to 4K
- More than likely a strong backwards-compatibility solution so games compiled for "regular-Switch" will still play nice with "super-Switch" chip
- Essentially "still a Switch" that plays old/current Switch games but futureproofed to handle a whole lot more
Well it's quite late in my time zone, so I need to go to bed. I very well may sleep through the announcement, and therefore the closure of this thread. It's been quite the ride. I thank everyone for their vigorous participation and hope that you all had more fun than not-fun.
Wouldn’t have it any other wayThe emotional rollercoaster this thread has gone through over the last week would break a normal person’s neck, it’s a good thing Nintendo fans feed on the endless cycle of hype and anxiety.
they should go sicko mode and brand it as virtual spaceworldIf we're going to baselessly get worked up about a timeslot, it would be much funnier and more fun to instead note that the only non-game specific Directs that happen on Tuesday are the E3 Directs, and they also happen in the morning PDT, and therefore conclude that this week's Direct will be an E3-style blowout.
I was thinking this too lmaoIf we're going to baselessly get worked up about a timeslot, it would be much funnier and more fun to instead note that the only non-game specific Directs that happen on Tuesday are the E3 Directs, and they also happen in the morning PDT, and therefore conclude that this week's Direct will be an E3-style blowout.

I mean everyone is just being precautious after what Emily said.Lol, we are once again in the "so it will be a Mini", I can't anymore Less than 7/8 hours till the General.
honestly they may be a bit lowkey but yeahIt doesn’t even matter if it’s a Mini, Minis are always good
Partner Showcases in 2020:I was thinking this too lmao
Partners and Minis of the switch era have all been on Wednesday/Thursday?
I know one partner was Sunday/Monday but can’t remember the others
I've been disappointed by a good handful of generals
Yup. Minis have the best track record with me, I’ve liked all of them.honestly they may be a bit lowkey but yeah
I've never been disappointed by a direct mini, I've been disappointed by a good handful of generals
It doesn’t even matter if it’s a Mini, Minis are always good
This was a Partner lol
All I want is ONE great wrestling game for Switch.
