@TheBigBlue I think that's fair. I do agree with what @Fizza said. If they abandon the NSO apps, I hope they offer a discounted bundle price for them. I would pay $60US or more for at least the Nintendo ones. I really, really, REALLY don't want to buy the games individually again.

@Stamina_Wheel The biggest question was if Nintendo wanted to be overshadowed by the Apple event. Clearly, they want to completely avoid it. Looks like we're getting a Wednesday announcement for a Thursday Direct.
Or we're all entirely wrong, and this ruins many weekends.

I mean hey: no Direct tomorrow gives me more time with the new Pokemon DLC so I'm not really complaining in the slightest XD
I was skeptical of a Wednesday Direct myself for numerous reasons (Apple Digital Event, Pokemon DLC release, etc.) so I'm not too surprised it didn't pan out personally. Guess we'll see what happens around 2/3PM tomorrow now!

@ElRoberico There is the thing about Pokemon, does Nintendo want to overshadow The Teal Mask with a Direct?
Well that depends on the state of Scarlet/Violet. If the DLC fixes the problems with the base game then Nintendo would want the attention on Pokemon. Meanwhile if nothing changes or it's in a worse state than the base game is currently then the Direct would be a very successful distraction.
@JONOFTHEJONS If it had been announced today, it would have been about 42 minutes ago, at 9:00 CST. However, it's most likely going to be announced tomorrow at the same time, if it's happening at all.

@Grumblevolcano The DLC should launch tomorrow right?
I'm guessing we're getting Pokémon DLC segment with the caption of "out today" and showing a few new pokémon to generate more hype around it I guess?
@NintendoByNature "tomorrow lol" "I didn't give any date to the presentation, all that I know was shared over Universo Nintendo But I expected a thing like this from the user banned from everywhere for bad reports / social interaction and wide range of clickbait videos on YouTube"
@Stamina_Wheel anyone could have figured this out, not to be rude to the guy. I think Nintendo didn’t announce anything today thinking Apple’s iPhone event (which had 2.4 million concurrent viewers on YT might I add) would take away from direct viewership. In that sense, Thursday make sense. They couldn’t have done a direct next week because that’s dangerously close to the Tokyo game show
As much as I wanted the Direct announcement to be today, tomorrow seems more likely due to the Pokemon DLC and Apple’s event thing. Really hope this is going to be a good Direct! Also Pyoro has been super quiet for the past few days, wonder if they’re not spoiling anything else? Or Nintendo is eating a chicken right now
So it’s basically confirmed to be Thursday. Great, gotta suffer through another workday just to watch people on YouTube lose their mind in the live chat
