Well all my predictions would be off, of course, but I don't care.  At this point I just want a Direct to happen so all the YouTubers can get back to being their mostly cheery selves.  All this waiting and speculating is making them all crabby and they're exposing their DGAF attitudes a bit.

I guess the biggest question will be whether it'll all be worth the wait anyway.  That's the risk you run, marketing 101 or not, in waiting so late that you build up too much expectation.  They better have at least two juggernauts ready to go for 2020.

I still don't think they have to have major juggernauts in this ND.  Their E3 Direct would only be 10 weeks later.  The 26th ND could just cover the spring and summer releases...which may or may not have juggernauts.  E3 Direct will certainly have juggernauts though. 

We need to realize that we do not represent the market.  We (those that follow their every move and discuss said moves amongst ourselves) probably only make up 5%, if that, of their market. Our anticipation, our demand, our expectations, etc....are way disproportionate compared to the market overall.

They don't need to appease us.  We're going to buy their stuff anyway. The Marketing 101 lecture was never about us, it's about the whole market.

I'm sure Nintendo will announce new games in the Summer, but in relation to E3? I don't know now since E3 itself is cancelled.

Nintendo will likely just create another Nintendo Direct and do Treehouse, but without the E3 label for this year.
