Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Did someone say, ’ncredible leeks?

@Grumblevolcano Yeah!

It does look like the direct way delayed then(referring to that game announcement of Lego Mario they took down).

If it is 2 weeks away, that was a bit of a massive fumble by GAME putting that Lego thing up where it says it was announced in the Direct. Did they think no-one would notice it for over 2 weeks?

I'd assumed that it meant it was definitely this week, and they were just hoping 2 days would pass without anyone noticing the description.

@Dezzy The person who wrote that description likely doesn’t get paid enough or treated well enough within the job to care, hence why we see things like this happen and why leaks happen so often.

@Dezzy At worst case scenario, the GAME thing mentioning Direct could've just been an assumption that the Lego tease revealed on social media would be a Direct reveal because Nintendo 2020 is currently looking to be a desert with no oasis after Animal Crossing in 9 days.

i just want one already!!!

I have thought LEGO Mario will be like this.

It's 1pm UK time, looks increasingly likely that there's no Direct this week.

Lol the temper-tantrum approach to getting a raise?

@FragRed I doubt it's some random intern that got to update the site with something big like this. I think it's likely that it was written in advance to be revealed in a Direct, but it got moved and nobody checked the description when they decided to upload it anyway.

So where my anouncement at? You guys really got my hopes up with all the theories and even a post about alleged leak!

I WANT MY MONEY BACK

@Octane I wasn’t thinking of it being done by an intern, I was talking about their regular full time working staff. Could totally see moral being that bad that they didn’t care to check what they were putting up.

@Bankaj Just wait,they will announce it.
Besides,saying:"It wil be in this week!I know it 100% true" is stupid,couse if you dont have any confirmation,your just theorizing without any purpose.
So relax and wait for big announcement.
But i we all want Direct as quickly as possible,so yeah,i get it.

The cycle of Nintendo directs is that there's always "definitely one this week" each week until it's announced. And usually many weeks pass before we're right lol

They know we generally expect one as soon as the new year comes around. It wouldn't have hurt them to just say something like "It'll be a bit late this year, don't hold your breath" in January.

@Dezzy Thats just our lovely Nintendo,besides,it will ruin suprise😉

There's a lot of chatter on Resetera backing up the 18th/26th Direct dates. Zippo has leaked things before and he's all-in on those days. He's also warning that the rumors about 2020 featuring a lot of ports is also true and that some people might be upset by it, along with claiming that the Prime Trilogy has been done for a while and that the new Paper Mario is nearing completion.

@Cubs017 What about Pikmin 4?

I didn't see it mentioned on there, but I just skimmed through. Resetera gets out of hand very quickly.
