Sure, maybe we knew a tiny bit more at this time last year (only because it had more games delayed) but that's kinda splitting hairs, the point is we knew only a small amount of the lineup at the beginning of each year.

Congrats! Hope you had a nice day!

Thats one of the biggest issues I have with how Nintendo announces stuff. You go into the next year knowing absolutely nothing and they will just announce most of their games in January/February. It would be nice to have a better idea of whats coming in the new year.

Exactly, it really really sucks. I don't wanna go into it too much as I'm trying to avoid any negative discussion atm as things are negative enough for me these days, but I fucking hate not having a clear idea of what I have to look forward to in 2020.

I desperately need something concrete to get excited for.

I'd cut off my right hand without anaesthetic for a January direct with Bayonetta 3 trailer and release date.

I prefer them to do that as otherwise we have people complaining like they have on Bayonetta 3 and Prime 4 about not seeing anything another example is what you get with Sony's E3 from years back where so much was announced and shown yet the games took years to arrive to a point it deflated the anticipation of the games. It's a lot better to not show all your cards just for the sake of people saying "oooh", "omg" and "ahhh" and just use them when the time comes the's no benefit revealing a line up of any sort at this point when we have the early year ND for that.

The drought sucks, but now is a good time to try new stuff out. I've only gotten 2 Nintendo games this year being Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion, but I've still been playing quite a lot. Majority of my time has been spent on Indies, Slay The Spire, Warframe, Hollow Knight, Wargroove, and so ons. Plenty of great games in all genres so you should definitely be able to find something to enjoy while you wait for the big guns.

It's not so much that I personally am in a drought; I'm still finishing off Witcher 3 and after that I have Trine 4 to finish, then Yooka Laylee and Impossible Lair to play in January.

It's more that I'm lacking cool upcoming releases to get hyped for. With my life in a very dark place at the moment, having a release date for some upcoming games that I really want to play would give me something to look forward to, something positive to focus on, some hope for the future.

Ah I see, totally understand needing stuff to look forward to. So that only begs the question, why aren't you looking forward to New Horizons?

Yeah it sucks not knowing whats coming but June through November was so stacked that a small drought to start next year really shouldnt be an issue.

There is alot of variety there ranging from indie, AAA, western, Japanese, casual, hardcore, single player, multiplayer, platformer, racing, shooter, RPG, action/adventure, sports, etc. and that's just the more notable titles.

With that said though, I do hope we get a big Direct in the next few weeks detailing what we have in store for the first half of the year.

Animal Crossing just isn't my cup of tea. I like my games more action-packed.
