Honestly at this point I'd be surprised if we get one before March. A Direct in March would fit in nicely with a 2 month gap then E3 and a 3 month gap and then a September Direct. An Animal Crossing Direct I can see happening this month, however.
I think there is trouble at Nintendo. They are being too quiet. No plans for 2020, longest we have gone without a direct, Eshop sales happening a lot. It's like they are trying to keep people interested until they sort out whatever the problem is. And I know that people shouldn't be demanding a direct on every twitter post that Nintendo does, but they could say something.
@DannyBoi You do know that this happens literally every year, right? Fanboys get overzealous and attack Nintendo on Twitter as soon as the turn of the year occurs and (per usual) there's no general direct. Which let's face it, this year we got WAY more in the gap than usual. A Pokemon Direct, a Smash 'Direct', and an Indie World during December and January, usually silent months? There's no reason to suspect anything's up.
@FragRed For me, it's the lack of games in the first half of 2020 and no direct for getting on for 6 months now. They updated their direct playlist, so something is coming. But we don't know when.
@FragRed Oh I'm aware. But... quite frankly, I've been following Nintendo since the 90s. Letting things get down to the wire with nothing announced isn't new, it's just that the move to simultaneous worldwide releases over the last decade means we're now feeling it far more, whereas we used to know nearly a year ahead of time thanks to the usual 6-9 months delay in getting games after release.
@link3710 It’s only been with the Switch that we have seen the end, nearly, to split releases. That’s pretty crazy. I just assume Nintendo has no plans for the rest of first half. Animal Crossing is the game they are placing their hopes on.

@FragRed Heavily unlikely. We'll see something in May or June, no question. But Nintendo tends to treat June as the start of their ramp up, so I'm expecting that to be the month with something major, even if it's Xenoblade.
@DannyBoi Yeah, but I still suspect that just means we're getting an Animal Crossing specific direct next week.
@link3710 Wouldn't the animal crossing direct be on the 20th though, cos of that animal crossing event? If they were having the direct today, it would make sense. As it is the 14th.
@DannyBoi
You know, i have found some upcoming Switch games from playasia even without Direct. 😉
Well.... some of them are Japan exclusive Switch games. 😅
