Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Don yes, imagine what Nintendo could do with today tecnology for a potencial Wave Race on Switch.

Even though there's lots to play, I'm starting to crave a general Direct. I finished XC3 earlier today and now I'm thinking about when will MK8 Deluxe DLC wave 3 release.

@Grumblevolcano since Nintendo is releasing the DLC of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe every 4 month, i predict that in novembre the third wave of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC will release.

There's not really a need for a direct anytime soon, since we have a game in both september, october and november.

@Giancarlothomaz I'm personally leaning towards October myself, what with Mario+Rabbids also coming out in that month and the fact that Pokemon comes out in November (makes me feel like they'd want to give it as much room as possible to sell, you know? It's POKEMON for crying out loud!).

I have registered some upcoming games from play-asia on my purchase list even without Nintendo Direct. 😊

@Fizza @Giancarlothomaz The week beginning October 29th would be my as guess given that week contains both Halloween (October 31st) and the start of the holiday season (November 1st). Though that is directly connected to my guess that wave 3 has both a ghost track (SNES Ghost Valley 1/2/3, N64 Banshee Boardwalk, GBA Boo Lake, GBA Broken Pier or DS Luigi's Mansion) and Merry Mountain from Tour.

In other news, it feels like the September general Direct dream is over:

@Grumblevolcano I guess I wouldn't write off the possibility quite yet, considering this is only happening in August. I could still see a Direct around mid-September.

I have also registered some games from Amazon.co.uk on my purchase list even without the direct too 😀😀😀

@StarPoint The Splatoon 3 stuff makes me think not before Splatoon 3 launches but Harvestella being present makes me think not in September at all given that game releases in November.

@Grumblevolcano Ah I suppose that's possible. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

With a September direct potentially not happening does that squash any chance of a zelda remaster for the year?

@NintendoByNature Not really. It's important to remember that the closest to 2022's approach so far has been 2020 where Nintendo announced a load of 1st party IP stuff in September even though there was no general Direct.

I don't think a Treehouse Live necessarily precludes a September Direct, especially since Tokyo Game Show is still happening.

@Grumblevolcano true. If a zelda remaster gets announced in september, it'll be close to 2020s announcement style.

@Grumblevolcano maybe yes or maybe not.

@westman98 We haven't had Indie World yet, there's usually one in August but this year it looks to be later much like how we got one in May instead of March. I'm leaning towards mid-September Indie World, late September Partner Showcase and early October Bayonetta 3 Direct.

There are still a couple of days left in August.
They might do an Indie World on August 30th or 31st.

@Grumblevolcano I find it difficult to believe that Nintendo would go into the fall/holiday season with their 2023 lineup being a complete mystery outside of Zelda supposedly being a Spring title.

That time last year we knew about Pokemon Legends Arceus, Triangle Strategy, and Kirby for Q1 with Splatoon 3 and Bayonetta 3 having 2022 release periods.
