Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

IF we get a zelda direct, itll be sometime between now and May 12th 🙃

My guess is I'm pretty sure that the announcement of there will be a Zelda Direct will be at 3pm in the UK.

Does this mean the chances of the rumoured 2D Mario game releasing in 2023 are now ZERO? I can't see how they don't take the opportunity to tie in the release to the movie if the game is releasing anytime soon?

I just don't see us getting a Zelda Direct until at least a month before launch.

@VoidofLight a focused Nintendo Direct for Tears of The Kingdom in late april? i could see this happening

I don't want a TOTK Direct. I want the game to have some secrecy leading up to the launch.

@Eagly I'll go full incognito on the internet for 4 days.

@VoidofLight Usually I'd agree but Nintendo's presence at PAX East makes the situation seem different. Given the way Nintendo approaches PAX East, the show is very likely to have the first public playable demo of TotK and I don't think we have enough info about the game at the moment for a public playable demo .

@Kermit1 In this current era where leaks always travel far (e.g. last year you watch the February 2022 Pokemon Presents on Youtube and as a result get recommended a bunch of videos about Scarlet/Violet leaks), TotK Direct is by far the better option.

Shigeru Ohmori tell for us to watch the 2023 Pokemon Presents, Pokemon Scarlet e Violet DLC/expansion pass coming?

Did Mario Kart, Mario Odyssey, or Breath of the Wild ever get their own directs? I don’t believe so. E ticket games (and Xenoblade) usually get their own directs, but it’s by no means a sure thing. It’s quite possible we don’t hear much from Nintendo until the game is out. Tough breaks for Nintendolife.

@Euler

@Euler Splatoon 3 had its own direct last year.

@MarioBrickLayer Xenoblade Chronicles 3 too

That's a five minute presentation from E3, but I see I was mistaken and they later had a full direct for Mario Kart 8 by itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbuJZP0_8iQ

@MarioBrickLayer Yes, Splatoon is an E ticket franchise and, as such, ripe for its own direct. It still doesn't happen for every big game they release though.

@Giancarlothomaz I mean, SV's DLC being there is a given, given that the games heavily hint at DLC in the first place. There's an entire greyed out area on the map after all.

@Euler BotW got it's own direct effectively. Remember E3 2016's digital event, where they showed nothing but BotW that year?

@VoidofLight i aware of this, given that gen 8(Pokemon Sword/Shield also have DLC/expansion pass a year after it release)

3 more days to Pokemon Day.
Hopefully there will be Pokemon Direct on that day.

@Anti-Matter A Pokemon Presents has already been confirmed for Pokemon Day.
