Just being real, I don't think GS is "one more thing" level. At least, not unless they really are stretched thin for announcements.

The only reason most people believe this direct will be huge is due to e3 being canceled. Of course all the game companies knew about themselves canceling on e3 long before it was announced so it’s possible Nintendo didn’t bother making a huge presentation. Considering the uncertainty of things, Nintendo probably won’t be showing off games that aren’t close enough to release. So I think it’s best to not expect much. We are most likely getting a mini direct which means it could get shadow dropped. But Nintendo has revealed some big things in minis such as Arms in Smash.
However I will say that most of the first party games we know about are not expected to release anytime soon so there is a high possibility for surprise announcements. Well...assuming the direct isn’t mainly Mario 35th anniversary stuff.

That's a good point. Even if we get a mini direct we could still have a Smash announcement in it. We might be underestimating the mini Nintendo directs a bit.
Maybe something similar to Jokers first reveal (basically a non gameplay trailer announcing that they're the next smash character)
(or they could just say something like "The next fighter is a Mario character" and have the Geno and Waluigi fanbases stew over it for months.

If Geno is the next character to get in, are the Issac fans ready to bear the crown of ridicule Geno once held?
Okay so then Nate either doesn't know anything about GS or just isn't spilling any beans in either direction. It seems more like it's the former, but in any case he hasn't been shy about shooting down stuff (including golf), so that's interesting.

It seems like this direct (assuming it happens) could be anywhere from massive to pretty bland. If it's shadow-dropped, then it's probably not gonna be in the 'massive' category, but it could still have some surprising announcements.

Imo some people are blowing Geno's chances way out of proportion. He still has a very narrow path to the roster. Both Nintendo and Square would have to want him over a large number of alternatives AND he is still reliant on the Ballot and/or popular demand (he may not have even done that well on the Ballot, either). If this second pass swings even a little bit more towards first-party characters, then it becomes harder to justify a third-party rep that is as obscure as Geno and at that point we'd be more likely to see characters like Lloyd Irving or Travis Touchdown.

I gotta say I got my clown makeup ready if our universe line suddenly jumps and tomorrow a new Mario Golf is announced after all.
Ridicule away if we all missed that damn badly.

All I ask is if that's actually the case, Camelot better have made it something special. A Mario Golf being worked on for 2+ years before revealing it, never mind releasing it? I sure hope it's worth the wait!

If Camelot's working on Mario Golf after all this time that would have to be the greatest Mario sports game ever made.
2. Not only will he not be the next character, but the only reason he gets ridiculed is because of the clowns that seem to think everything is related to him.
1. Isaac. One "s", two "a"s.

So, about that Direct Mini... I highly doubt we see Golden Sun. It'll most likely be third-party stuff, release dates for DOOM Eternal possibly, No More Heroes 3, stuff like that.
My prediction is that we'll get smaller announcements like this for about a month until a big general direct in August revealing a ton of first-party stuff. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Golden Sun Remake will be announced in August with a March 2021 release. I've been saying this since like March of this year and I'm sticking with it.

Well, I doubt we'll hear anything one way or another as it sounds like the upcoming Direct mini is only going to focus on games already announced.
Perhaps maybe a hint on Smash's next fighter, but likely won't get whatever Camelot is planning next.

Camelot could be counted as a ”development partner”, right?
Heh but yeah, 10 minutes is kinda short so I think they’ll just focus on third parties and maybe have a first party Direct at a later date. We’ll know soon enough, luckily.

Oh I'd imagine Camelot would fall within that category.
But given how NoA's tweet specified it to be on games that have already been announced, I doubt we'll hear from them.

Beyond the leakers who weren't actually leaking him and the poorly-worded GameStop video? Doesn't look like it, no.

Hmm.
For me, it's like:
Is there evidence to Geno? Maybe. I'm not a big part of the speculation community.
Is he 100% FP7? No, not 100%. I think it's about 20-50%.
Will I be happy for him? Idk. Not too familiar with him.

Seems this July 20th Direct is a bust, at least Smash-wise. Hopefully some fun news out of it, but they've set expectations pretty dang low: previously-announced games, focused on their "partners" AKA third-parties, roughly ten minutes long, and announced just 10 hours prior. Granted, the "partner" wording doesn't necessarily exclude Nintendo-published titles, but that feels like a stretch trying to justify the previous 7/20 Direct rumors.

I feel like we're going to get a proper direct with more exciting first party announcements down the line. I feel like this is tiding us over while that is being prepared or at least I hope it is lol
Aah that takes me back. I really miss the 50cent jokes here

Never in my life did I think I'd feel nolstagic over 50 cent yet here we are.

This makes it sound like we are still in line for an actual Nintendo direct perhaps in August, or September at the absolute latest.

I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it, 50 Cent just became kind of the mascot for the thread at one point lol

There's something that everyone seems to forget about Geno and its size of his support: it's big only in US. Japan somewhat recognizes him, but he has nearly no follow-up in Europe. He only seems big because we are on english speaking boards.
That's also my point of view on Papageno. He was quite enjoyable to watch in the past but, for some months now, he's focusing back solely on Geno. Not my cup of tea.
There's rumours of "MS" in this Direct. If that "MS" is MicroSoft, it could point to some interesting things in this Direct. Outside of that, it will probably be bland, indeed.
BTW, this post on the speculation thread.

To add on, Geno is an unknown character in Korea. I've seen like 1 or 2 people who know him.

I think the most interesting part is that this mini direct is supposed to be part of a series. I wonder if that means we could expect another one fairly soon.
I wonder if maybe it also means that they're splitting their E3 content into these mini directs.

I was wondering the other day if Isaac or Waluigi gets in will they tease it similar to Arms like "This character is already an assist trophy" and then list every assist trophy. (even the moon...)Well if its going to be a direct mini our Golden Sun rep is going to be announced the same way Arms was

You know the Direct is good when they aren't even live-streaming it. Just over 8 minutes, straight to YouTube!
EDIT: Well, I was slightly wrong: Cadence of Hyrule is certainly a Nintendo game, albeit not an internally developed one. SMT information isn't bad either. Still, imagine being hyped for today's Direct only to get WWE 2K Battlegrounds...

This is just depressing at this point. Does Nintendo not want to show us what they have in store for the rest of the year?

Well it came and went. If you're a Shin Megami Tensei fan this would be amazing for you but if you aren't its a waste of time
