Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

I've been thinking, have we seen any footage of the MUA3 Fantastic Four DLC yet? It's meant to be releasing on March 26th.

@NintendoByNature right on I hear ya. It might’ve just been the character path I chose - the beast man. The story was just awful and searching around his castle was a bore. Combat so so. Music for him was cheesy. I dno maybe just gotta try the other characters! After Dragon Quest XI it just couldn’t compare.

@neogyo yea for sure. Try some other characters to see if you like it more. I probabaly won't do the same characters when I play the actual game. And Charlotte is by far the most annoying, at least imo.

Ok so announcement monday or announcement wednesday?

It's gotta be this week. I can't see why they'd delay any more.

@Dezzy tomorrow morning bright and early to start the week off right

@Dezzy I'm still holding onto my initial guess of April 1st/2nd for the dates, I've come this far after all. But I'd assume if we got an announcement this week it'd be on Tuesday?

With all this time we've had to wait, surely they must have a Zelda trailer. The only reason they wouldn't is if they're 100% sure it's not gonna make 2020, in which case they might not want to start the hype too early. But if they're still in doubt, and maybe trying to aim for a christmas release, I'm assuming there'll be a trailer.

Nintendo will probably want to give attention to MUA3 DLC and Jedi Academy so if this week I think it'll be announce Monday and air Wednesday evening ("releasing shortly after the presentation"). Also Indie World was off by a day so general Direct is probably also off by a day if the overall rumour is true and being off by a day was due to time zones.

Just give me metroid( 2d) and botw2 in 2020 and I'm set

Those are both pretty low profile though aren't they. I'm hoping there's gonna be quite a few big reveals that mean those 2 things are relegated to 30 second trailers.

@Dezzy I do think they would be given only a short time like 30 seconds or 1 minute. As for reveals in general, I hope Smash and Animal Crossing don't take up too much time.

@Grumblevolcano

Yeah I hope both of those are only 30 seconds too. We need a lot of new stuff for this console to still feel exciting right now.

The fact that PS4 might have more good exclusives in their final year than Switch does at it's peak, is kinda a daunting possibility. But at the moment seems entirely plausible. FF7, Tsushima and TLOU2, are hard to beat.

Some long Eshop maintenance tonight/early tommorow.

@DannyBoi
Maintenance LOL ?
I have accessed Switch eshop just now.

Maybe this week will be the week these predictions come true I hope so, at least

@Anti-Matter Not at the moment. Later on.https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/network/en_na/network_status.jsp

We need a next Nintendo maintenance thread

It's 1pm UK time and no Direct announcement.

So, assuming it happens this week, which day is it going to be?

On the Switch news channel, they are advertising the Eshop. They are going over what it does. Don't we already know that?
