@Dezzy I bet you won't see Prime 4 for a loooong while...
Why not? Nintendo don't announce things years ahead that often. Usually only with things like Zelda which you already know is constantly under development anyway.
For certain games, games that will be in development for, let’s call it a decent amount of time, like Metroid Prime 4 — also, given that it’s a franchise that we know people have been very eager to get some news — that’s when, fine, we’ll share it. We’ll share it early. Others, we want to hold closer in and reveal it when the gameplay is going to be available. It literally is game by game, title by title, how we make that decision.
Anyone think there's a chance this was just Nintendo testing the leaky waters? I know they've been upset about leaks in the past, and I believe Ubisoft was particularly mad about all of the Kingdom Battle leaks ahead of the reveal. Maybe Nintendo has simply given false information to different employees, and depending on which ones get out, they will discover who is the guilty party. We are already well past when the leak said the reveal would happen, after all.

Lol did he just read my comment and say this just now to make me look silly?
I'd say late Friday night(1am Irish/UK 2am Europe, which is evening US, early morning Japan) or Saturday could be a good bet. That way people can stay up late without worrying about getting up early the next day. I also think DLC for Super Mario Odyssey will be announced.
I'm thinking that Nintendo had planned to show the Direct on the 11th, but after all the leaks and rumors they delayed it to the 12th just to discredit them. There will be an announcement tomorrow, a great jubilee will spread across the internet, and all will be right in the world.
...a man can dream, can't he?
Mario Galaxy is ten years old, and now I feel old.
@OdnetninAges And whaddaya know, it was a Direct Mini after all😜
For what it was, I thought it was a great direct. No, nothing earth-shattering (except for perhaps Dark Souls, but we've known about that for a while) but I expect Nintendo is saving the big announcements for a later, full-size direct.
This may sound weird, but my favorite announcement was Ys VIII. The first time I saw that game I'd thought it would be a perfect fit for Switch...and here we are, it's coming to Switch!
