@GageBlackW23 Nice one, although it occurs to me that Byleth is for DLC pack 1 and the common score sheet happened to specifically state 'Fighters Pass 2' characters. (no idea how to handle that, just keep score however I guess) ┐( ´－｀)┌

On a related note, there's no way my "Edelgard" prediction is going to happen now.

Oops i assumed those were just announcements for all 2020 since that was the point of the thread

Ops it was in between videos, my bad.

Smash: Byleth Eisner - Before Spring
Smash: Lloyd Irving - E3 Week
Smash: Crash Bandicoot - E3 Week
Smash: Arle Nadja - After E3 Before October
Smash: Travis Touchdown - October to New Year's Eve

One down ✓

For me it's similar to Hero and Joker.

I had Byleth in my prediction list, so i guess i was totally expecting it.

@gageblackw23 I think this will have very little to no effect on Sony and the success of the PS5.
E3 is a press event and an enthusiast show. The vast majority of people who buy consoles have no idea what it even is, and most will digest the event through individual trailers on YouTube.

All Sony needs to do is schedule a State of Play for right around the event. He'll, if Microsoft keeps up the quality (or lack there of) of their last few conferences, Sony might just win by default.

I think they can replace it with presence at other events but State of Play is something they have to fix, cause in 2019 was a bit of a mess.

Not just for the mixed feedbacks from fans but like in terms of viewership they were very low both live and afterwards. For sure there will be more interest this year because of the new console, that's natural, but there are also some adjustment to make with the format.

It's definitely not great for the ESA and they'll have to figure out how to fill that gap, considering they had an empty area last year (despite attendance was only slightly below 2018).

That said this is not good for Sony either: no matter what E3 still remains the biggest week of the year in gaming, most of the biggest announcements are still at E3, you want to be there, especially if you have to promote a console that will launch this fall.

This year at E3 people will be able to try the Xbox Series X (and S?) but not the PS5.

I have a bad feeling about this, for some reason I forsee Pokemon with loot boxes.

I bet it will be similar to Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links.

Free to play, microtransactions are there as any F2P but nothing too outrageous.

I'm expecting a little thing that if developed with love and care and not as a cash grab only, could be neat.

The fact that this is developed for Switch and not mobile makes me slightly more hopeful.

Konami has announced through CoroCoro a new IP named "Solomon Program", basically a monster raising RPG with a style similar to Pokémon / Digimon / Yu-Gi-Oh!

Switch is the only platform confirmed so far, a comic version is also planned.

A demo code for the game will be included in MiraCoro Comic Ver. 2, a special issue of CoroCoro Comic due out on January 17.
