Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@NintendoByNature Yeah, the rumor going around is there'll be an announcement of a Crisis Core remake for current consoles.

@Magician just saw that. Even switch in the mix. But...I also have a feeling it'll be a cloud version, which that's an easy pass for me.

Edit: actually I guess it depends on if it's a remake or remaster if it'll be a cloud version.

I do appreciate everyone bringing their information and speculation here so constructively and cheerfully, it's been fun to follow along. I want to say, though, for my part, that I'm actually fairly annoyed by Nintendo's decision to skip an E3-season presentation, and to subsequently leave us in the dark... so I've decided there is one thing I can do, however minor and trivial, to respond appropriately.

Whenever the next full Direct rolls out - be it a few weeks or months - I have decided that I won't watch the thing live that day, period, however deskbound I may be. NCL seems to care about that, so this seems like one small thing any of us can do to express displeasure. I guess I'll have to find a civilized "co-streamer" to actually watch it, as well (no offense intended to Kate Gray, Alex Olney or any of the other hosts here on NL).

@BruceCM I also hope for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to be on Steam

Neon White became purchasable at 5pm UK time so it seems the only thing wrong about the Direct rumour associated with that game was the existence of a Direct.

@Grumblevolcano Did that post outright say it would be in a Direct specifically? I remember skimming through it when I first saw it but when I went back to check it again, it had been deleted.

@Grumblevolcano i believe the Neon White release date reveal was refering to it aperance on Summer Game Fest, not a Nintendo Direct.

Well, I'm much more invested in FF as a series, so I'll watch that one but I'll definitely check to see what's in the other as well, @NintendoByNature They might have changed when the direct is shown, @Grumblevolcano? Maybe originally, they thought this week would be good & then all the other things got announced, so they postponed it? Possible, at least

@korosanbo
I found Bunny Park and Little League World Series Baseball 2022 (Not from Wholesome Direct) will get physical release on this year.
I decided to pick the PS5 version as I want to build my PS5 games from 3rd party multi console games.

Little League World Series Baseball 2022 was a huge surprise for me as I remembered the series was ended on PS3 / XBOX 360 version (the 2010 version) by different developer and by Activision as the publisher. I also have the 2009 version on Wii.
Now the franchise got rebooted by Game Mills as publisher with way better character design than the 2008 - 2010 version.

All the insiders are suggesting an announcement on the 28th, with the Direct airing on the 29th. I'm not sure what to expect since I feel the release schedule for the rest of 2022 is already crammed. I suppose Nintendo could copy MS and just preface the Direct by saying they'll be discussing games expected to release "over the next twelve months". Everyone assumes Bayonetta 3 for October but I dunno; I expect "Nintendo being Nintendo" by continuing to be quiet about the game.

@Magician They may give large segments to Xenoblade 3 and Splatoon 3 like in the September 2017 Direct, Xenoblade 2 was given a segment close to 10 minutes long. If both games got that treatment, that's half the Direct covered already.

@Grumblevolcano Ugh, I hope not. We already know plenty about both games. A random YT upload would be sufficient for expanding coverage of the games we already know about. Lets leave a majority of the Direct for games we aren't aware of, or those that don't have solid release dates. I would be much more interested in a new release date for Advance Wars (which is what I assume our December or January game to be) rather than more info for Splatoon 3 or Xenoblade 3.

Highly doubt that would happen. Their Directs seem a lot more "rapid fire" these days, not spending too much time on a particular game. Instead using Twitter and Youtube trailers/info drops leading up to release of each game.

@Grumblevolcano Bayonetta 3 cries in the corner

And there’s the Snap reveal.

"This is it! All of the clues are coming together. I followed these Mario Kart and Live a Live tweets to this exact spot, and right where you're standing, I found this Pokemon Snap trailer! Hah! Ohh, I'm so close to solving this crime, I can almost taste it."

Nothing brings out a Direct like being wrong. So, I'm here to say, there will not! be a Direct this month. They'll just drop a few new videos before the end of the month instead.

@WoomyNNYes What??? Where is your faith in such an unreliable and unpredictable company that keeps to itself?
