zygote said: I have a strong feeling that Nintendo is going to use Smash Brothers characters to introduce each new title announced or showcased, known and unknown. Keep in mind that the Direct will be about 45 minutes. Here is an example of what could be revealed (R stands for Rumored): Samus Aran - Metroid Prime 4 trailer Bayonetta - Bayonetta 3 Yoshi - Yoshi Flipped Crash (R) - Crash Trilogy Spyro (R) - Spyro Trilogy (R) Star Fox - Star Fox Grand Prix (R) Pokemon Trainer, Pikachu, Eevee (R), Charizard, Jigglypuff, MewTwo, etc. - Pokemon Let's Go Animal Crossing - Animal Crossing (R) Ice Climbers (R) - Ice Climbers NES Captain Falcon - F-Zero (R) Pikmin - Pikmin 4 (R) Ike, Robin, Lucina, etc. - Fire Emblem Captain Toad (R) - Captain Toad Treasure Tracker Simon Belmont (R) - Castlevania collection (R) Snake (R) - Metal Gear Port/Remake (R) Sonic - Sonic Racing MegaMan - MegaMan 11 Link, Zelda - Skyward Sword HD remake (R), Link's Awakening Remake (R), or BoTW past game footage reference Splatoon - Splatoon 2 Octo expansion or past game footage reference Springman, etc. - ARMS past game footage reference Kirby - Kirby Star Allies past game footage reference Donkey Kong - Donkey Kong NES or Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze past game footage reference Mario, Peach, Luigi - Mario Maker 2 with new additions (R) or Super Mario Brothers 2 NES or Mario Odyssey past game footage with new playable characters DLC |
I have very similar expectations. I’m expecting TreeHouse to host some character announcements, too. I’m willing to bet Banjo-Kazooie and Jibanyan sneak in, as well.
I’m also really hoping for trophies. I know most people don’t love them, but they make a great gaming journal.
