Aint Nintendos fault no one is thinking with their brain. Nintendo doesnt need tonsay anything to yall, Yall just need to stoo expecting things to happen and jusr wait patiently
Like the other guy above said though: every other developer is still announcing stuff. It just seems odd ninte lno is saying nothing, not even a statement about nothing. We know they have more games planned according to their shareholders meeting

Considering ARMS X Smash was revealed in a mini-Direct I don’t really get why the doom and gloom of “no reveal in a Mini-Direct” is all of a sudden a thing.

Urshifu didn't exist when I first made that and Waluigi isn't there for ****s and giggles.
Maybe do a updated roster,keep everyone you have already and add Waluigi because because every other popular Assist is on the roster ,and Urshifu because #ExpainisonLivesMatter

Some people don't want to go through that again.
As someone who was stressing over the ARMS guessing game pretty hard, I'd take probably a bare minimum smash announcement over none at all.

At least it's something to hold us over

"because every other popular Assist is on the roster"

Sorry if I sound nitpicky, but Umm...

*Looks at Isaac, Shadow and one could count Bomberman, Shovel Knight and Krystal.*

I get we were memeing last night, but real talk: I really, really don't think they're gonna do a guessing game again.
True, because ARMS was a case where Nintendo got interested in promoting the IP again.

(I have no clue why Nintendo dropped the ball on supporting ARMS between mid-2018 and this past March.)

Not to mention Spring Man Zero etc LMAO

And Spring Man was of course popular before we found out MinMin was our Arms rep

Also the random button was forgotten R.I.P

If we are seriously getting a surprise Direct on Monday then Nintendo has done an awful job getting people prepared for these.

Shadowdropping a showcase of your holiday lineup makes no sense at all. Why not announce it a few days in advance (or better yet, a week)?

Given the context of the ARMS guessing game, I find it highly unlikely they would do it again. Unless, of course, they want to inflict as much pain as possible with, “Who’s that Pokémon?!” With 600+ portraits.

I doubt they’d do the same thing twice, especially if it’s a 3rd party series. The only type of series that would work for is something that Kinda sorta fits ARMS. Like, another fighting game for example.

I just don’t see it happening.

They're talking about that cursed 1000+ character roster I made. I did include those characters, but not Waluigi because of the "Waluigi is always neglected" meme and all that.

Those really are the only series that can work with the guessing game format. Fighting games tend to have multiple main characters. I really don't want another guessing game still.

With so many insiders certain of a Direct, it's almost certain one is coming. It's the finer details that give it the spice.

Shadowdrop? Mini? That's it, no Dash? F-Zero is still dead?

I can't wait to find out.

So basically:
  1. Later today
  2. Tomorrow
  3. Sunday
  4. Shadowdrop
  5. n o t h i n g
But yeah, I'm not giving up hope just yet. There's nothing after Origami King; Nintendo's gotta reveal something.

Kelois apparently still thinks we’re getting a full Direct, but considering Jeff Grubb thought the same thing in March I’m still assuming we’ll get a Mini at best.

Why a mini?
I would think they have a bit more to show considering there was no e3. Though I guess it's possible they really did slow everything down cuz of the quarantine. Dunno.

I was already expecting it to be a mini. The only other times I remember a direct leaking this thoroughly, with a date, was the January 2018 one and the March 2020 one - which were both minis.

This doesn't mean it'll be bad though. The January 2018 one was actually pretty great!

Nintendo has a shareholders meeting coming up early next month, correct?

They need to show something to keep investors engaged, so if not next week, we're likely to still hear something pretty soon.

A second game from that 4chan leak with Ryza playable might come to switch soon https://twitter.com/Stealth40k/status/1284153094834716673 . In the 4chan leak it was said that the rpg moon will have a trailer in the direct. It might be another coincidence, but with the rating of Atelier Ryza 2 recently it's now 2 games in that leak that might be coming soon.

It's still definitely fake but my word would it be funny if we get Ryza after almost everyone here wrote her off as too niche.

Wow, this might be the first 4chan leak that is entirely fake but still gets multiple things right.

Gamers, Ryza-p

If true, I wonder why Super Mario 3D World wouldn't be included with the Allstars Bundle, especially since apparently it will include "4 bonus games".

I mean, unless they had info about Moon, it's not something a random fake leaker would just happen to get.

It's still possible it was talked about somewhere tho

I mean, that was announced almost a year ago, and we heard nothing since. This leaj said we will see the trailer, and now it seems that may be happeing. That puts more credit to the leak
The 4chan post says Disney+ is coming to Switch, which would basically be screaming "PIRATE OUR **** THERE'S NO HCDP SO IT'S SUPER EASY TO DO"

Well, lit's still something they couldve guessed then, if there hasnt been a trailer since.

I dunno, not sure it gives it that much credit, maybe some.

It'll sell for $60 on it's own, so why bother?

Also, pessimist here, but the bonus games would probably just be the original versions of the remade games + Super Mario 64 DS.

Hulu is on the Switch, does it use HCDP? I genuinely don't know.

Predicting the trailer of a game to be shown off when we've only had one other Direct this year isn't very impressive.

We knew Moon was coming, and if they wanted to show it off in a Direct, they probably only had 2-3 opportunities this year to do it. The first was back in March, and the second is now. We could possibly get another Direct later this year, but I wouldn't count on it. This may have been their last chance for 2020.

Too good to be true, honestly.
I must say that "Samus's Revenge" and "The Return of Ganon" aren't good titles imho

I still feel the odds for a Mini are good. There are still unannounced titles releasing this year according Furukawa (Mario remasters are the potential big ones), Animal Crossing DLC for August that needs unveiling (this could also be done in a tweet though, keep that in mind), FP7, Pokemon DLC, and rumored third party titles like the Tomb Raider collection that could all easily fill out a nice 20-minute Direct Mini. We'll just have to wait and see what Monday morning brings.
