Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Grumblevolcano Have the clocks changed?

@DannyBoi For America, the clocks went forward an hour last weekend meanwhile for countries like the UK it's later this month so America's announcements appear an hour earlier for a few weeks.

I don’t recall a direct being announced after Wednesday, so it appears tomorrow is the last call for a Direct before New Horizons. A general Direct next week is unlikely because of the release of New Horizons (just my opinion)

@Grumblevolcano If it doesn't happen this week, I'm absolutely convinced my April 1st direct theory is correct. They're gonna wait til AC is out for a week before telling us news about the future. Maaaybe it'll be the 2nd instead of the first, but definitely that week.

The fact that the LEGO Mario news was announced on their Twitter further contributes to this theory

@WaffleKnight How?

@DannyBoi It seems to be the sort of news they would announce in the Direct. Directs are not just for the consumers, but also for the investors. However, the announcement was very vague, suggesting it could still happen.

@WaffleKnight They'd only announce it in the Direct if it had game connections so like if Super Mario Land 2 was the next Mario Maker 2 style (Mario Zone pretty much features Lego) or if there were Lego Mario games being announced like there are Lego games for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman, etc.

@WaffleKnight Directs have never featured news that wasn't tied to a currently active system. The only toys that ever appear in them are Amiibo's, since they have in-game functionality.

Same goes for Mobile games, they are only mentioned if they have integration with an actual game. No news about those, toys, theme parks, or anything else non-Switch related would be in one.

Nintendo seem to be doing OK despite the silence, especially with announcements like this.

Direct imminent!!?

"Heard about the partnership between Lego and Nintendo? The latest Nintendo Direct announced their exciting collaboration..."

@redd214 The link doesn't seem to work.

@DannyBoi yeah they must've taken it down. Here is a screenshot of what it was:

Someone probably hit send a bit to early but hopefully it means one is coming soon

@redd214 How can it be announced in a direct when it's already been announcedXD!?! Yeah that was a great direc t.

@DannyBoi you aren't exactly the brightest crayon in the box lol

I mean, there's about a 95% chance that screenshot is doctored. But if it isn't, that means there will be probably be a Lego Mario game getting announced...

EDIT: Nooope. It's back up. I see it for myself.

Yeah you can still this very screen from the Game.co.uk (@Gamedigital) twitter account by clicking on the link

So there is a direct this week😮😮😮😮?

@link3710 well glad it was on the 5% side

Maybe there was meant to be a Direct but with all the problems going on in Japan and the world, they decided to postpone it or just cancel it outright.
