Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Clammy The last Mario Maker update was the final one they are doing so I doubt that.

@Anti-Matter 65%. They could be seeing these rumours and decide to delay it...

@Anti-Matter 5% chance

I think 50% I agree with @theJGG that nintendo might have seen the rumors and decided to delay it. I was always wondering if that was what was happening during all the rumors in febuary.

If Nintendo were planning a Direct tomorrow and then decided to delay it because of the rumours, that is not something that can just be done at a drop of the hat.

Remember, any third party studios that are to be announcing anything in the Direct would need to be informed and agreed to the delay as they will have had all their own social media announcements to be timed to coincide with the Direct. Remember the time Nintendo delayed a Direct because of the earthquake? All the third party publishers still made their announcements as initially planned.

@Slowdive Very good point. Nintendo now have valid reasons to either delay the Direct, or just air it.

It would be quite something if Nintendo's next tweet turned out to be just the Animal Crossing early August update.

@theJGG Um, maybe I'm missing something, but if a direct was planned (which I don't think it is), what possible reason would they have to delay it?

Why would Nintendo delay a direct because of some rumors/leaks? lol

I hope it doesn’t get delayed, Nintendo has kept fans waiting long enough.

@link3710 I'm overthinking this. Logically speaking this is an impossibility. But now, it'll either happen tomorrow, or won't. Hopefully it turns out to be.

@Laoak
Final "major" update, as they say, but you're probably right.

It is glaringly empty next to the 3D World theme, though.

If there is a Direct tomorrow what time will it most likely be aired?

@Don 1pm utc or 2 pm utc

@Don if it was 10:00 AM Monday morning in Japan, that would be 9:00 PM Sunday in New York and 2:00 AM London...I think?

@Don If it's a Mini then 2pm UK time but if it's a full Direct then 10pm or 11pm UK time. Given full Directs get announced 24+ hours in advance there's 3-4 hours left to announce.

@Slowdive Do you mean they'll shadow-drop stuff during this maintenance period?

Looks like routine maintenance to me. It’s nothing

Switch eshop maintenance isn’t until August 3.
