It's the beginning of the new year and after getting involved in some of the best games of 2019 in the holidays, our passion for new games is coming back strong as we enter January. Of course, Nintendo's announcements come with video-based packages directly from us (and you), and the rumors have already begun. When does Nintendo Direct's first 2020 launch? That's the question!
Will there be a Nintendo Direct in January 2020?
Looking back on last year, Nintendo kept us in tents in the center of the temple until the middle of February when the real Divection Boom came down before following it at the end of the month with Pokémon Direct dedicated solely to unveiling Pokémon Sword and Shield. Looking back years, Nintendo has usually avoided making big announcements in January, preferring to wait until February or March instead (the New Nintendo 3DS launches and then launches the Direct switch to be good).
There is no guarantee that they will follow through 2020, however Crossing the Animals: New Horizons come March, every chance we will be streaming Nintendo Direct radio sooner rather than later.
So, let's take a look at our Nintendo Direct forecast for 2020, whenever it can …
Nintendo Direct 2020 Predictions
New first-person announcements, obviously
Beyond the unknown & # 39; unknown & # 39; such as Animal Crossing, & # 39; anonymous & # 39; such as Metrop Prime 4, Nintendo likes to keep us on our toes in complete surprise. Whether it's as exciting as a new IP or a new Splatoon, every little game will be equally welcome. Stretchers it was a little unexpected last year, for example, and with the first-year release schedule for a team that wants less light, the Switch certainly has some tasty ways to fill the gaps on the calendar.
Looking back, the 2019 schedule looks pretty similar to this time last year, so there's no reason to think that Nintendo doesn't have its sleeveless aces by 2020. After that, there will be ports …
A Wii U port or two
As they usually do, Rumors have surfaced over the past few days of the Wii U ports scheduled to change by 2020. No need to drive Columbo to come to this conclusion, of course – Nintendo apparently look for holes in its release plans by selecting the & # 39; Deluxe & # 39; from its previous console, as it has done successfully since the beginning of Change.
We asked you what Wii U titles you would like to see joining their brothers on the switch, and the results are quite interesting. Ours for money, Super Mario 3D World and Chronicles of Xenoblade X very welcome, though we will not turn our nose to Zeldas, The wonder of 101 or one of the others, either.
Except, maybe, The third devil. That can stay where it is.
… and other third-party ports
After a total number of home runs Author 3 on Switch, there are many critters with eggs on their faces as they chew their lipsgear. When it comes to third-party ports on Nintendo & # 39; s console, it seems like that anything else You will be given the right resources, time and talent. Games that we thought would never measure up to a switch of mobile switchch suddenly suddenly look familiar and only a fool can truly say thatGame X will not come to Change & # 39 ;.
Instead of nailing our hopes Red Death 2 either Cyberpunk 2077, however, it can be fruitful to look to the past. In addition to many new hitters such as MAKE A MIRACLE, channels like Feral Interactive deliver the best ports like Alien: Solate and GRID Autosport Change. These great games may have been around for a few years, but they still show what can be done by someone who knows and elbow grease. We might even get a chance to reconsider the Wii U era that skipped the Nintendo platforms, as long as they got the same attention and attention on the switch.
They will have news 3
It's been a while since we heard from Umbra Witch Platinum Games and finding out more about his third game is one of our top 2020 prospects. The E3 2019 sounds a lot more environmentally friendly to reveal more about Bayonetta 3, but we were expecting to see the trailer in any future Nintendo Direct presentation.
Development studio talked about & # 39; s about great things & # 39; 2020, and we are ready to be launched. We played (and fell in love) Astral Chain, but there is always room in our book for Bayonetta's swagger type and we look forward to finding him soon.
Sonic's new game
The blue hedgehog has been quietly suspicious for a long time in the video game area, though we've seen many news about his upcoming screen out. We doubt there will be any movie tie-in (unless it's a mobile title), but it's unlikely Sega could let it pass by 2020 without Mobius' favorite son from Turnch and other giants. After all, we were promised a new game in 2020 at the beginning of April last year …
Animal Crossings: Newons details
Animal Crossing: New Horizons was delayed last year and unfortunately into 2020, although in hindsight this may have been a good thing, and not just for the developers to have time to finish the game without grinding it to the ground. 2019 was so full of new games that we struggled to play many of them. If the all-encompassing Animal Hoting had been thrown in there too, we would have missed so much more without that.
We already know a lot about crossing Animal: New Horizons, but there will still be more to come in the next few months before its March 20 release date. We wouldn't be surprised if New Horizons gets its own mini Direct dedicated, either. The original party schedule may look slim right now, but if Nintendo wants to keep April and May with no exciting new releases, that would give us space for our island-bound tour. Bring it.
The return of a quiet franchise
Last year we took a look at the silent franchises we would like Nintendo to bring back, and now that we've seen the entry of Switch many of Nintendo's big-name series, it's time to bring back the & # 39; B-tier & # 39; Longtime readers will know about various Nintendo Life employees & # 39; F-Zero overly popular, but there are plenty of other games that can fire hardcore fans too and cry out to a wider audience Change now enjoys. We can't help thinking about how new it is Wave Racing watch the switch. What would you say about a little thing like Pushmo? Where's this long rumor Pikmin 4? Or Picross, maybe?
Last but not least; Picross is the lowest series in the world. There has not been one for at least a month, but expect one completely.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger # 5 news
This could come as part of Nintendo Direct or easily make its own mini Direct presentation. The fifth and final DLC game that is part of the launch of the Challenger Pack for Super Smash Bros. The final is still a secret, but the final piece of this puzzle is slated to catch it by the end of February.
Of course, Masahiro Sakurai has confirmed that we will get more DLC characters after the chain is rolled up, so the flame of hope still warms Waluigi fans. Personally, we think Waluigi will make the final DLC full-time champion before Sakurai drops the mic and retires.
That is until Nintendo slips into a metal pile and works for him Super Duper Smash Bros. Ultimater. Poor person.
Metroid … something
With Retro Studios so deep in the development of Metroid Prime 4, we obviously would like to see a little more gameplay or something over a temporary logo. On the other hand, any one produced by Direct can take someone to improve the game itself, and by all accounts it's still a long way off, so it's best not to interrupt the team while having their nose in the milling pit. .
If Nintendo wants to throw a bone for Metroid fans, though, there is an easy victory when you are just sitting in shape. Metroid Prime Trilogy HD. We need it, you need it, everyone you need it. Chop chop, Nintendo.
So, that's what we're expecting, even though Nintendo's mention is often too much to expect. Mother 4? Virtual Boy Classic Mini? Labo tea paired with a fully functional teapot and biscuit dispenser? Let us know below if you expect to see the first Nintendo Direct of 2020 and exactly what you would like it to contain below …
