Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Nintendo does understand that it is an unspoken rule that we all expect a digital presentation around this time, right? I hate when they do their own crap like this. There are plenty of games they can show off and give us more info on. This is one of the times out of the year that used to be exciting.

So I was hoping everyone would have given up on there being a direct by now when I got to check in lol. That 'wednesday' leak just hit it's final curtain. I don't see more than a 5% chance of a replacement E3 direct at this point... We're almost certainly staying radio silent til September save Splatoon and Xeno specific directs.

@link3710 Every day I lose more and more hope. But I haven't given up yet! I probably should, but I don't enjoy thinking rationally.

Only reason I have hope is because the sheer amount of stuff we need to hear about. Mario Strikers DLC, Mario Kart DLC, Bayonetta Release Date, More Splatoon Info, Mario + Rabbids Release Date, Probably Three Hopes DLC, That New Leaked Fire Emblem, and Whatever new games they have coming up.

There is still the rumors of it being the 29th which would make sense for the fire emblem game seeing as how they probably don't wanna have multiple announced fire emblem games competing with each other.

@Blooper987 That's where I'm at, too. There is a lot of stuff that they have to go over soon, PLUS a bunch of announcements for new games, BOTW 2, the Mario Movie, etc. I still think it makes sense for them to have a Direct.

@StarPoint I also think it's likely we see Tunic, the Persona games, and some cloud ports (ugh) announced for switch soon

I feel that the Mario Movie delay might have influenced the Direct in some way, maybe even causing it to be delayed as well.

@Blooper987 well Nintendo can just drop trailers for this games/DLC, at this rate, we have to wait until septembre for the next Nintendo Direct.

They can do single trailers yeah, but that's a lot to just drop on twitter in trailers in only a month or two. I'm guessing Nintendo is changing up the regular direct schedule and we'll get it later this month or maybe next month.

I still think whether or not we get a Direct hinges on whether or not the next MK8 DLC wave gets dropped in a standalone trailer or not.

It should be about time for the next wave to be released (if we do get 3 a year), and while it obviously wouldn't be enough to carry a Direct on it's own, if there was one near that's absolutely where they'd put the announcement.

the possibilty of not having a Nintendo Direct now

With this week come and gone, do we believe the 28/29th is more likely?

@NintendoByNature I'd say we're definitely more likely get one then as opposed to the week just past where we didn't 😜 (sorry couldn't resist)

First NoA tweet of the day is the 3rd of the 3 Live a Live trailers from a few days ago:

@dmcc0 well said 😉.

Isn't there a Square showcase today?

At this point, I am at a total loss for theories. I thought I had it all figured out, I bested the almighty Nintendo, but alas. The only thing I can say is that I still expect a Direct to happen either this month or early next month.

@NintendoByNature Square Enix and Capcom have something today. FFVII 25th anniversary celebration stream and Dragon's Dogma 10th anniversary celebration stream happening at exactly the same time (11pm UK time).

A Square showcase, @NintendoByNature .....?! It's the FFVII 25th Anniversary live-stream!

@NintendoByNature knowing how unpreditable Nintendo is, they can easily make us wait until septembre for the next Nintendo Direct, and beside june 29th is Nintendo shareholding meeting

@Grumblevolcano @BruceCM I'll definitly check out both, one on the phone and the other on the TV.
@Giancarlothomaz I wouldn't be shocked if we got the September direct.
