Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@FishyS The funny thing is, Pyoro hinted the name is either that or something very similar by liking a reply guessing it, and given his track record is spotless...don't expect a better name

@PikaPhantom Another observation I've spotted that makes this leak fake. It has the Switch port of Hogwarts Legacy releasing on a Sunday. Games generally don't release on Sundays. Plus, it also has Mario RPG releasing on November 18th, which is a Saturday. Unless this person meant to put November 17th since that date has already been established as the release timing for Mario RPG

So have we missed our announcement window for a Direct happening tomorrow?

@ElRoberico Yup, two more opportunities this week.

Yeah, apparently there's a massive Apple event tomorrow. Everything else tech related is getting swept away in that storm.

XCX impossible on Switch...?

Come again Switch is more powerful than Wii U och pretty much more capable than PS3 and Xbox360.
Still many people believes the opposite yet in today! Red Dead Redemption is just a bit above 600p on PS3 while it's in 1080p on Switch and has a super-stable frame rate. That's just enough proof that Switch is more powerful.

Still I sees many here claiming that Switch can't run XCX because of Switch's cartridges, but Switch 2 will do it, how? If Switch 2 is still a hybrid console, so it will still use cartridges too.
Switch 2 according to 99% here will be in 4K with ray-tracing, so that means XCX Switch 2 port will be huge, like +64GB, or closing to 100GB, so how on the earth will it fit into a cartridge then? If Switch 2 will also be Switch-compatibility so it will use the same type or similar cartridges then. I don't think that a +64GB cartridge will a thing before "Switch 3".
16GB cartridges appears to be standard for Switch, so 32GB will be the new standard for Switch 2.

Also Nintendo & co is so much better in compression now compared with for 8 years ago, so XCX will easily look better on Switch and still is like +10GB smaller than the Wii U version. XCX were actually only 720p on Wii U, VERY few Wii U games were in higher than 720p so it just makes Wii U weaker than Switch. Still people out there claims the opposite...
Just a bunch of disgruntled Wii U fanboys who're still upset that Nintendo discontinued Wi U for 7 years ago...

If Nintendo could port the "impossible game" Skyward Sword on Switch with 3 different control types, so why can't tehy do it with XCX? The game is not that dependent (not even close!) of the gamepad as many want to claim it.

General Directs are announced 1 day in advance so announcement tomorrow would mean airing on Wednesday. Which fits as with the exception of last September's awkward clash with State of Play, the February Direct is usually the same day of the week as the September Direct.

Well let's hope it's tomorrow. I don't have much to play on switch til Mario wonder.

@Stamina_Wheel should i put my clown make up, over the possibility of no Metroid Prime 4 on the septembre Direct?

@Stamina_Wheel when has Nintendo aired a Nintendo direct on 9/11 before?

@Stamina_Wheel Ah, fair enough. Well then you’re probably right about it being on Thursday

If it does happen on Wednesday, that will be the fourth Direct to be on 13/09!
Albeit one was the result of a delay.

@Stamina_Wheel hopefully, Switch is nearing it end and yet no sign of the game

@Nintoz When was that delay, exactly?

@MarkL1987 The top one in the post above. Due to an earthquake in Japan

Nintendo should normalize doing a direct on the 3rd week of September since it usually fits in their schedule and twitter people can stop asking for a direct on 9/11 sooner

@Keman never said xcx was impossible to run on switch. It’s just not happening because it’ll be expensive to port. Monolith said this themselves.

X also has no barring on the main series, and most likely won’t get a sequel.

Totally real direct leaks!1!!1!1!1!1!1!!1!
