Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@gcunit I'm personally banking on Ace Attorney 7 being one of the last major 3rd-Party releases for the Switch given how, according to reports/rumours, its been in the works at Capcom since around 2018/2019. And with the Apollo Justice Trilogy finally coming out at the end of last month, I could definitely see it happening now that every mainline entry is on modern platforms.

@gcunit Yeah that’s actually what I should have said to be fair. Makes sense but a lot of the big games may be a bit too much to easily downgrade to the Switch too.

@FishyS
Yea, it’s all just for fun and about a hobby at the end of the day, it’s just that I can’t help but sometimes extrapolate this kind of behavior and desperate rationalizing to other, more serious parts of life.

Anywho,

I’m picking up Mario vs. Donkey Kong tomorrow and hoping I can finish Prince of Persia tonight!

I think it'd be pretty reasonable for the next Direct to be the Pokemon presents, where they announce Nintendo merging into the Pokemon company, adding Pokemon Mini to NSO, and the announcement of their new console, the Pokemon Big. (The console's gimmick is you throw it against the wall to catch Pokemon and the impact force determines the catch rate)

Nintendo's 1st tweet of the day.

HERE WE GO AGAIN GUYS

@Fizza Next week is gonna be fun when a new reason is needed for why it didn’t happen 😝

Perhaps next week then.

@FragRed

I guess MS doesn't want the announcement of Hi-Fi Rush for Switch confirmed before the Xbox "business strategy" podcast later today?

So next week normal Nintendo direct?? @Fizza

@Fizza Oh... great XD

I mean I was skeptical about the whole thing falling on the same week as Mario Vs. Donkey tbh.
If you look at Directs in the past like:

March 2020 Mini Direct - Week after ACNH
February 2021 Direct - Week after SM3DW + BF
June 2022 Partner Showcase - Week after FE Warriors: Three Hopes
September 2022 Direct - Week after Splatoon 3

That being said I do agree with some of the above comments that Nintendo simply doesn't have anything to share with us at the moment but I guess a Partner Showcase could still be in the works??
Idk at this point XD

@Nintoz Hey... thats some sort of trend to build hype on so... NINTENDO DIRECT NEXT WEEK

@GalaxicGlobe WOOOO!!!🥳 XD

Oh brother. Grubb always pushing the envelope. I still love that "big blowout zelda direct" from 2022 he told was coming that never happened. At this point, I believe nothing he says. He's lumped in with Samus hunter and zippo now.

Not going to happen. Too close to pokemon day.

Just trust in Pyoro, he knows what he is talking about

and since h ahs said nothing, nothing is happening yet

Don't forget that it was just pure doom and gloom during 2019 before the first direct of the year. Many declared Switch as dead then because of "Switch has nothing to play". And then that legendary feb-19 direct occurred and almost everyone suddenly were in 7th heaven.

Same thing can happen this time. I have a feeling that the next direct will be nuts. Don't forget that Switch is not even 7 years old yet. It took PS2 eleven years to sell 150m, Switch has 140m in less than 7 years... PS4 turns 11 years old this year and still gets crazy amount of games despite not selling well (honestly almost nothing) for years now.

Why should Switch suddenly just die off? Is it because of the fear of that Switch actually in going to surpass NDS and PS2?

Can't wait until seeing everyones reaction when a regular direct gets announced and everyone loses their mind then.

199% Promise here. If it's actually a partner direct and that it's indeed a "Switch 2" reveal during march, so I'll delete my account here. So all you have something to looking forward then, not!
Never gonna happen. 0% that "Switch 2 " comes out this year, not a chance. Switch Pro has been a thing according those "leakers" and "insiders" for every year since 2018 and never happened, so the history will repeat until Nintendo by themselves announces "Switch 2" in late 2025 or early 2026.

bro Pyoro is right 100% of the time. he a W

do you think people are gonna scroll through this thread in about 3-4 years time and wonder why we're talking about that one WarioWare character so much XD

We don't even know if Pyoro has any access anymore but it is true saying nothing means saying nothing false. 😆

I do feel like every other supposed leaker is just BS-ing this month though.
