Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Sweet!(not the crying part lol). But good to know it pulls on the heart strings. I've been eyeing it since it launched but for some reason put it off. Very excited to give it a shot.

Given that they've now revealed the LEGO thing,it looks like the Direct was originally planned for earlier on but was delayed.

Possibly because of the virus of doom, or perhaps because they're trying to get something finished ready for the Direct. Like maybe a Zelda trailer?

It kind of makes you wonder with a late direct like this. Will they go all out with the next direct or the summer direct ( what would've been an e3 direct). I wouldn't think they can go all out for both but i could be wrong

@link3710 Ubisoft also confirmed a digital event, pretty much immediately after it was announced that E3 was cancelled.

@Dezzy The Nintendo Lego collaboration looks like it was never meant for a Direct to start with but rather a standalone announcement like Labo.

It looks more like it was never meant to see the light of day 😢

It sounds like E3 will effectively be the same for those of us who just watch online anyway. So no big deal really.

@Octane I will not discover America by saying that the companies were informed before us or atleast were expecting E3 cancellation,so having digital presentation made already make sense.

@Xenomorth Oh yeah, definitely. I'm certain they were briefed by the ESA, so they all had their response ready.

Wonder how Nintendo's stocks are doing?

@DannyBoi Very bad. I've heard rumours that the April Direct is postponed until May.

@Octane The peak of this year was at the end of January.And it was 40K in Yens,now it goes for 30K.I rounded the price but you get the idea.

@DannyBoi Given the entire market is horrendously down...?

Something I'd absolutely love to see announced for the Switch, that frankly has an OK chance of happening: Dragon Quest 8 HD.
There isn't really a definitive version of that game, because the PS2/Android versions are graphically more advanced, but the 3DS version has added gameplay features. Combine the 2, and improve some of the old texturing. And hey presto, you've got an awesome Switch game.

@Dezzy I'm pretty sure I brought that up a few months ago. Out of all the DQs, I just have a feeling a remaster of 8 is the most likely to show up next.

Have any playlists been updated?

@DannyBoi don’t worry about the stocks. We need more maintenance, is more coming up for Nintendo
