Firox As a continuation, here's some of the "Big Stuff" that has gone public:
-Mario Remasters
-Zelda Remasters
-2D Metroid
-DK revival
-RARE Replay/MCC on Switch
-Persona on Switch
-Golden Sun
-Fire Emblem 6/7 remake
-Wario Land
-Mario Kart 9/F-Zero/new racing game
Honestly, more than half this list has a pretty decent shot of showing up in the next Direct and that's not even counting things like Smash.

, am I able to PM you about one or two things on this list? Two of those things I have questions on, if you don't mind of course!You have my attention. Are we truly on the verge of greatness?

If we got like one of these things, I'd be amazed. Everything is so barren right now.

People have different tastes, and which characters are viewed as likely or popular varies depending on who's being asked. (it's like that Twitter poll that had the Heavy from Team Fortress 2 winning by a large amount)
And we appreciate you for it, as much as it pains me to not know some juicy info in advance. This dry spell is killing us!

Disclaimer, next to Banjo, she's probably my next most wanted, but I don't necessarily think she's that likely for this pass.

I think another thing for Shantae is that out of the indie candidates, she has the least in her way. Shovel Knight's an Assist, Sans is a Mii, the Knight isn't as big, Quote and Freddy aren't at their peak popularity anymore, and Reimu's popularity is mostly in different circles than the Western Smash fanbase. As a result, it's easy to lean towards Shantae.
Huh...
Crash makes a lot more sense for the second half of the pass when Crash 4 gets announced for Switch.
I mean, worst case scenario is a bit longer of a wait for Geno. Don't be sad!
No.
That was for 3rd parties sending in information regarding their titles, not for directs as a whole for the year
Ahem.
' is not a proper argument.
I’m thinking either something like a hit like Mii Gunner or a slide, and an optional timed followup that’s either a star blast or a few shooting stars kind of like Joker’s or Bayonetta’s guns.
I've been over this before, I've had this exact scenario happen twice already. My two most wanted for base game were Simon and K.Rool they both got revealed in the same direct, and the one thing I specifically did not want was another Pokemon, just the most boring, safe, filler pick they could possibly add, and then they did. And then for DLC, my top two were Hero and Banjo, they both got revealed in the same direct, and the one specific thing I did not want was a Three Houses character, the most tone deaf, shilly, "jesus christ it's even worse the second time around" thing they could do. I'm kind of a little frazzled at this point because here I am going into Pass 2 feeling like some of my most wanteds like Geno and Crash are going to happen but I don't really have a solid "I don't want this one specific thing" so it's like "oh god what could be even worse".
I have no idea who my least wanted even is. Still, I'd like to think I'm pretty open-minded about Smash characters, and if it means that we'd get Geno in Smash after all these years, I'd take that offer.
Yup, mostly cause we've already got tons of Fire Emblem characters who are very similar, and I just wouldn't be surprised for another one.
This about sums up my feelings on the matter.
Nintendo had nothing to do with it though? I guess they got support from Nintendo getting the source code and other SNES stuff but it's not like it was a Nintendo published game like DQXI or the Bravely Teams stuff.In other good news, apparently Trials of Mana crushed sales expectations so expect more major projects from Nintendo and Square going forward:
Square-Enix says Trials of Mana sales have 'significantly surpassed initial expectations'

First of all, I think it's funny that you would go on to lecture me about things I don't understand when the vast majority of your rant has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make. I never said anything about COVID or Nintendo's plight in dealing with it (though it IS interesting to know that their competitors, one of which also being Japanese, don't seem to be as hampered by it as they are). I never tried to assume or assert WHY they haven't produced much content over the past few months, but rather raised the question as to what PROOF you or Fatman would have for an alleged hype-fest on the horizon (which neither of you actually addressed BTW). All we really seem to have are a bunch of rumors and Fatman's word that they carry weight.Ahem.
Did you forget that Covid started technically in December or earlier in China? You know, that place where everything comes from nowadays?
Remember how it was a thing well before everyone freaked out about it?
You assume that your idea of when something should have been announced or started is what should be done, and forgetting how far back Covid goes.
You are not in the upper echelon in Nintendo's business decision department. Nintendo often doesn't line up with what we think in the first place, but you really aren't the position to suggest what would be better. Paper Mario was probably going to be more tied to the 35th Anniversary, but things changed.
Games wouldn't be ready, games wouldn't be shipped. Dates changed, previously recorded information was invalid. So much had to be scrapped and so much had to be redone or pushed back and new dates had to be determined. You can't just magically fix all of this, plans have to be altered or heavily changed or outright trashed and people have to break their brains to figure out what the next step is.
You also seem to misunderstand how big the lockdowns due to Covid have affected things around the world. People are mostly suffering here in the states no because of the virus itself but because of the reactions to it. Japan has done things like this more regularly and had more jobs that could be done at home, so their economy didn't take as much of a hit as ours did. This has a lot to do with their culture, but I'll leave it there for now.
People either had to stay home or work at home, an environment they were not familiar working it. No traveling to speak with important persons, if it can't be done online it has to wait. Using tools they were not used to and being less efficient really does affect things.
This is why I'm saying pessimism bias. You are letting your negative experience affect your outlook on something in the future when there is little evidence that supports said outlook. 'Things have been bad this time, this time, and the most recent time...so here comes more bad!
Also, pessimism is a damn plague right now. No one should have room to constantly look at the worst case scenario and be afraid to make claims that could be wrong but are still hopeful and positive. On top of that, you can't really knock Nintendo or leakers for what information leakers have to give and whether it's right or wrong. Take personal responsibility for how you feel, analyze it, and come out better for it.
Aim for 'Well it wasn't as explosive of a Direct as I was hoping but there was some cool stuff in there' instead of 'Wow this was GARBAGE ** Nintendo and ** all those leakers who dared to say a ****ing word! I'm gonna go smash my Switch and tweet Nintendo about it!'
I hope all of this talk about him ends up being more like his (adopted) brother, Banjo, instead of his FPS pal, Doom Slayer. I’m really not sure which one it feels more like.
He’s not a big request in the Smash community, but Hollow Knight was a much bigger game than any of Shantae’s games. Hollow Knight crossed 2.8 million sales in early 2019, which means it’s probably at 3 million now. That’s as much as the entire Shantae series.
It's an interesting situation, because Shantae's had a longer history and is close to Nintendo, but Shovel Knight and the Knight are modern successes. In addition, SK is pretty much an icon of the modern indie boom and is also close to Nintendo, so if it weren't for the AT, I'd imagine he'd be speculated a lot more. Then again, I'm the guy who insists Isaac will be FP2's darkhorse, so unless he comes with a massacre in his Miis I think SK may make a comeback.
I'd love for this to mean further localisations of other 16 bit JRG's (Live a Live perhaps?) and maybe even further remakes. VI getting a 3D remake (or even a detailed 2D one ala Octopath) would be very interesting to see.In other good news, apparently Trials of Mana crushed sales expectations so expect more major projects from Nintendo and Square going forward:

This is great because even the Geno haters will give us Geno.
"Least wanted" means I still want them, so yes
Daisy's already in Smash so that hurdle was jumped a long time ago my friend.
Definitely Crono.
Mathematically speaking, we've got 5 remaining slots with 1 I'm guaranteed to love and 1 I couldn't care less about. Since this is highly likely to actually happen, of course I'd take the deal. On the upside, I'd still have three more slots to roll something good, so no worries...
Woah now, them's absolutely fightin' words!Daisy's already in Smash so that hurdle was jumped a long time ago my friend.
