I would ask why there's a character called Clownpiece, but this is the same series that has a girl who's in a bucket for no apparent reason so I guess the answer is "because why not?".
I was thinking she just woke up one day and found the letter in her donation box, Wario trying to steal from said donation box being optional.
Also the clown motif. She's also made of pure life energy and wears the American flag as a dress because **** the Moon People.
I agree. I think Nintendo should acquire more studios or at least, try to work with partners. It's not like they aren't familiar with that, as you mentioned, Mario + Rabbids is a thing, and it isn't the only example.
Oh, but this one's special: a fairy from Hell, dressed as the American flag, who invades the moon and after her defeat moves into Reimu's basement. And she happens to be one of if not the hardest bossfights in the series.
The thing is that E3 would have passed by the point we get an actual direct, so we could get the next character as well to make up for the lack of E3 double reveal (Presumably with Min Min). And again, it's unlikely we'll get anything more than a little animation shoutout like Terry.
Too bad Coin Battle isn't a thing in Ult. Would have solved a lot of her problems.
Well, what the Pikmin, Paper Mario, and Pokemon reveals show is that now everything is basically on its own, operating individually, and not tied to a larger, company-wide event. To that end, Smash reveals also wouldn't need to be contingent on either a Direct to happen or Nintendo having their whole plan together. It's just about Smash itself being mostly on-track.
My goodness, Nintendo's profits increased over 400 percent: https://t.co/WyWVMbTINX pic.twitter.com/hKUjfEoBy7

In that case, I'm a little less worried about 2020 being a weaker year.
Well, we can rest assured that even though this is a weak year for new releases, Nintendo should have more than enough to get through the year and bounce back in 2021.
TBH even without the amiibo stuff, September just fits what our usual schedule is, so assuming things haven't been impacted since Sakurai's Min Min presentation, September seems very likely.
Not only that, the Legend who's body will forever be ready has marked another landmark achievement.
Just because a year is strong for the company doesn’t mean it’s so for the fans.
Most fan-favorite and big ticket characters could work as Terry-esque. Yes, even Jonesy - counting him as big ticket for clarity's sake - because that hypotheoretical trailer would have mainstream sources reporting on the announcement (Jonesy is one of those potential firestorm characters, so keeping that in mind). Likewise, mainstream sources would report on Chief and Kratos. (One could also make the argument for Lara, Gordon and Crash being extensively covered.) While Terry doesn't exactly fit the mold in the West, his series (okay KOF mostly, but still) is classic fan-favorite in Japan, LatAm and China.
It’s already on that track.
Mainly I was thinking characters that would have a certain animation theme without gameplay, like Neo Geo sprites for Terry's trailer, and possibly Joker's animated reveal as well. I was thinking Reimu with a Bad Apple-type shadow art trailer, and I'm sure there could be something else as well.
I don't believe they could do Bad Apple because that video is not made by Team Shanghai Alice as far as I'm aware. But if they could that would be the best possible outcome and would make me very happy.
Oh, completely missed that. My apologies.
They're like the Disney of video games in that their IPs have become so culturally beloved and ingrained in our collective consciousness that they can pretty much get away with anything (or doing nothing) and still make a profit.
The fanvid is interesting because Touhou's a lot closer to it's fanworks than about 90% of other media, so even if it's fairly unlikely, it's at least feasible that ZUN, Sakurai, or Nintendo would want to throw that nod to the fans.
If marketing were on schedule, we'd have seen FP7 announced alongside Min Min. It's evident at this point that Nintendo's marketing has either been dealt a massive blow by the pandemic, or that they've deliberately made the decision to only announce things at the last possible minute.
I think they might, if they stay strong after PS5 and XBSX release, nothing can stop them. The gaming audience has really grown in the years since the Wii, I mean, the PS4 has outsold the Wii while not being nearly as casual-friendly, and would possibly dethrone the PS2 if given a few more years. The Switch, for now, is selling at a much higher rate than the PS4 at the same moment in its lifespan, so if it keeps going, it stands to reason it'll outsell at least the Wii.
Don't forget that around the same time as it came out, Nintendo sent its legal ninjas after Another Metroid 2 Remake. Federation Force was really just a series of unfortunate circumstances.Federation Force was made by Next Level Games too, and they're a talented bunch. It's just a shame it came at a time where anything other than an announcement of Prime 4 was gonna cause drama. Poor thing never stood a chance in the climate that the Metroid fandom was in at the time.
Depends on momentum. Successes such as Mario Kart 8, Pokemon SwSh, and now Animal Crossing: New Horizons only further the console's already impressive broad appeal; if they keep it up with titles even half as impactful as these, it is most certainly possible. The Switch has been a real juggernaut so far.
Figuring out what you meant by "Big W" took me longer than I'd like to admit.
if there's not a nintendo direct this month then i will personally cancel this man
There is no direct because it's just a couple new titles and remakes that are shadowdropped separately. However, there is a direct next month... But it's all for 2021 stuff.
