Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

I wouldn't call Shantae a true icon myself, those games have more of a cult following.

I'm not sure they are saying there will be a direct on Monday, are they? Everyone seems to be saying there will be an announcement.

RGT85 on Youtube seems to think a Mario only announcement is mostly likely in July with a bigger Direct in September.

I'm not sure who are the most trustworthy sources in all this!

Not that I expect anything - I don't. But they have shadow dropped (Mini) Directs before. I remember that at least the first one since I got back into gaming (January '18 I think) was an unannounced Mini.

It would seem bizarre to shadow drop something as big as any Direct that is related to Mario's anniversary unless it's just a trailer and nothing more which it could well be. I still do not expect us to see anything on Monday, and people are just looking way too much into rumours.

The rumours are true, I'm reading too many of them in between playing Earthbound 3 and Star Fox Grand Prix for it to be false.

Rumours are fun but these are becoming more of a joke.

I heard a rumour
They said that 3D Mario Remake will be on December 2020

If there's a Direct announcement, the most likely time for the announcement is in 25 minutes.

@Grumblevolcano I have been refreshing Twitter and multiple gaming sites all day just in case it does happen. Although I don't believe it will happen, I would love to be proven wrong if for nothing else because I want to play some kind of Mario 64 on the Switch.

18 minutes to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Grumblevolcano could also be in 1h 17min, the last direct (in september) was announced at 4pm cest and right now it's 2:42pm cest

@Slowdive ok then. It will happen. Cool

It makes sense they would want the announcement to hit at reasonable times in Japan, US and Europe and it's 9pm-ish in Japan at the moment.

@mariomaster96 @Slowdive I think @Grumblevolcano is going by British Summer Time which is why he said 25 minutes to go otherwise it would by GMT which I think adds an extra hour (I always get confused between BST and GMT). Probably entirely wrong on the theory though.

@FragRed maybe but still, we have Cest right now in middle europe (instead of Cet) and while Cest directs usually get announced at 4pm Cest while during Cet they get announced at 3pm

But I mean they probably still could announce one in 8 minutes, nintendo seems to do what they want this year so why not. But I guess we don't have to wait long to find out ^^

@FragRed BST = GMT+1 so announcements during BST are 1 hour earlier.

@mariomaster96 @Grumblevolcano Ahh I see thank you. Well, it's past 2pm BST so nothing has happened yet. Guess we will see what this hour brings up.

Right, this is it. I'm holding my breath and I'm not gonna let it go until the Direct is announced.

@gcunit I'm not a doctor, so don't sue me if I am wrong, but... that may not be a wise idea. Just don't stand or sit anywhere near anything with sharp edges in case you fall. Good luck.

@Slowdive Spicy....
