Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Advance Wars release date hopefully. I am going to go out on a huge limb and predict my one in a million odds that they announce another Pokémon game for next January release, similar to the LOA release, but this time…..Crystal.

might, even though war is not the thing Nintendo might be basing itself on with the things going on in Ukrain @NintendoByNature

@NintendoByNature Nintendo will wait for the Ukraine war to end to release Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp, is not good to release a game when we we have a very serious war going on.

@reporterdavid @Giancarlothomaz makes me wonder why YT Is recommending trailers for AW 1+2 then.

Well, unless Nintendo told them something, @NintendoByNature .... How would they know if an announcement was coming? It could be many reasons! I think you're probably overestimating how clever their algorithms are

@Giancarlothomaz That can probably take years, though

@BruceCM My guess would be Nintendo uploaded a new trailer as a private video. A similar thing has happened regarding Directs, Youtube starts recommending Directs and then a certain amount of time afterwards Nintendo announces a new one.

If we're lucky we will get a direct in like 3 weeks, if they decide to do it the same week E3 usually is

@NintendoByNature could be a sign/hint the game is gonna apear in the next Nintendo Direct.

Could be, @Grumblevolcano ..... If that is the case, it presumably won't be too long before we find out! Just don't get too excited just yet in case it was a mistake or something

@BruceCM well, you're probably not wrong. Maybe I'm overthinkig it.

I'll be delighted if an AW release date trailer does appear anytime soon, @NintendoByNature .... The situation is still ongoing with no end yet in sight, however, so it does seem rather unlikely they'd want to do that yet
Once things settle down, it's not really like it'd need a lot of hyping & marketing, so it could be just a month between the trailer & release, for the physical versions, though
But I'll be happy if I'm wrong about that, too

There's the Toad Circuit tweet.

Given the strikers demo and the toad circuit tweet( which both could've been in a direct), I'd say a direct is unlikely for the next few weeks.

@NintendoByNature
Why would the that Toad Circuit Tweet be Direct material? Booster Course Pass Wave 1 content was released 2 months ago.

The Strikers First Kick demo just released today with the online demo coming next week, so again, not Direct material.

@NintendoByNature I mean... Toad Circuit was already in a Direct in February. It wouldn't make any sense for them to do it again.

Also, the Strikers demo is not Direct material either, considering the time at which it came out. If Strikers was a July game, I could see the demo announcement in a Direct. But it's too soon.

@westman98 @StarPoint hmm you both bring up very valid points that I can't argue with. Carry on as you normally would 😃

Well, E3 is mid June, so if they're going to do their direct around the usual time, that's 3 weeks....
So, I didn't think anyone was expecting it before then? As much as I'm sure we'd all love it anytime sooner

The Toad Circuit tweet was reference to how the twitter account has now gone through all 8 wave 1 tracks so if they were to continue the current pattern, wave 2 would be announced next week. That would be a possibility if Nintendo chose to ditch the June general Direct approach but if there is a June general Direct they'd likely save the wave 2 announcement for the Direct. Would be really ironic though if it was announced next week given on May 31st, Chocobo GP Season 2 begins.

The Mario Strikers news suggests there won't be a general Direct next week because the demo could've easily been a shadow drop announcement. Pokemon usually goes first so Pokemon Presents would be more likely for next week anyway.

Oh there is a rumor that the batman arkham games are coming to switch that august. I hope this is true, I never played them, but enjoying their soundtracks, and I would like to experience them finally!

So please let this be part of the next direct!!
