[WeiMoote]

Either that, or move this board to the same fate which befell Amiibo Festival...

At least, for now.

Nice!

I also composed a schedule for the rest of the entire show. Not sure where I should put it on this forum.

Something that is also interesting to note is (though it can change the closer it gets) that there is no mention of any specific game getting a deep dive like in years past, so taking that into account, we could be looking at one hefty Direct with a mountain of announcements and reveals.

Fingers crossed!

Here's hoping.

And their show floor is usually themed after their top-tier title for that year. Last year was a museum involving Smash Ultimate, the previous year was Odyssey, and the year before that was Breath of the Wild.

...Man, if this year's theme is Animal Crossing, it's gonna be SICK, man. ^^

It does kind of throw out the fan dream theories that they would make Animal Crossing the big 'featured' game this E3 though, they'd have no reason not to announce that like they did for Smash/Obyssey/Zelda seeing as AC is an announced title. No reason to keep that a secret.

So I guess don't expect any kind of crazy big Animal Crossing blow-out then IMO. Trailer + a 30 minute Treehouse Live segment?

As much as I love Animal Crossing, it really isn't something that is easily presentable nor is it something the general E3 audience wants to sit and watch for 10+ minutes.

Plus I am sure Nintendo doesn't want a repeat of their City Folk 2008 presentation. They whole conference was a disaster.

Ain't that the truth. That was basically their only game they showcased. And Wii Music was also a huge disaster...

Maybe Nintendo wanted to save AC Switch for E3 because it is a very big title. Heck, it would probably be the big focus on the direct and possibly have about 30 minutes on it just like smash.

I’d like to hear more about Mario Kart Tour, but since Nintendo themselves doesn’t have anything to do with mobile apps, I’d expect a Direct from that on its own, like Pocket Camp.

I'd love for the E3 Direct to be Animal Crossing focused omg...
And with no info on smash just to let the fans see how it feels like for once

 

[Neechan]

Well, I guess the theory of any direct happening this month is out the window (unless they do another Twitter direct...), which is good, as we don?t have to keep speculating when the next direct happens, so now we can wait until june 11 to see what awaits us.

Also....what months are these release quarters in? (referring to the poll here on the thread)

Let me stop you there on the smash side. At least they have to show the next fighter for the Smash Ultimate DLC.

Never said it wouldn't happen... it's just what I wish

 

[Blue Cup]

All right, it just dawned on me that Nintendo had placed Animal Crossing, Link's Awakening and Luigis Mansion 3 in the FY2019 windows, which means that delays into 2020 are absolutely within the realm of possibility as their FY for this year extends into the next.

Whoops, just a tad bit of misplaced optimism when I saw that info graphic from a few pages back.

Yeah, they would probably do that on the day of the tournament, if they wanted to. Not saying they won't, but it's in the realm of possibility.

 

[EpicGamer12]

I'd be happy with a release date and a minute or two of information. Animal Crossing isn't really feature heavy from release to release.

Same, honestly I'd be happy with a title and a screenshot that I can soend hours over analysing and staring at haha

Yeah, it's kind of crazy to think that we're less than a month away from finally getting to see the new Animal Crossing.
