Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

People are still in denial that they're just not gonna be able to buy Mario 3D All Stars in less than 2 weeks. Guys, just get to the acceptance phase of this. They're not being sold separately.

Of course I also remember that Nintendo brought back the Wii version of Super Mario All Stars eventually, so that's what I think is gonna happen at some point. But not like for a year at least I imagine.

Given Indie World wasn't announced yesterday it's not looking likely for one happening.

@Grumblevolcano
Maybe in April then?

After finding out Twelve Minutes was in the Xbox indie event (an Annapurna Interactive game), I'm wondering if Nintendo merged Partner Showcase and Indie World into the February Direct perhaps to make up for the lack of 1st party content. Not sure what other other indie titles there were but there were 2 Annapurna Interactive games (Outer Wilds, Neon White).

EDIT: Rewatching the Direct, there were these indie announcements:

• Fall Guys
• Outer Wilds
• Neon White
• Knockout City (EA Originals is a setup where EA publishes indie games)
• Physical copy of Hades
• Does No More Heroes III count as indie?

@Grumblevolcano That would make sense.

@kkslider5552000 I don’t believe it, but I like the theory that it will be an April Fools joke.

@Grumblevolcano I’d be surprised if that was the case simply because Nintendo always show indie games at their Directs and I can’t believe there wouldn’t be easily enough indie developers with games coming to the Switch that Nintendo couldn’t get a Indie World showcase sorted. But saying that, I do also wonder if Microsoft doing their indie focused stream/presentation caused Nintendo to delay plans.

I'd like to point out that their indie directs are usually after a PAX, and the next PAX was delayed to June. Likely relevant.

So when's IT happening?

Feels like we're overdue for another Indie World or Partner Showcase.

Lots of sweet stuff arriving this spring.

Besides, we're 500-some-odd days from the next Direct anyhow.

If they're bringing back directs, I don't think we're just getting one big direct a year. I feel like we're probably going to get a big one during the summer at least.

@VoidofLight so next big Nintendo Direct for E3 or after E3?

@Giancarlothomaz Yeah, I feel like the next big one will be the summer direct.

@Slowdive Who hinted at next week?

Yes! The zelda direct is upon us! Or not. Who the heck knows anymore.

@Slowdive Unless it’s April Fools....

Eh. I just normally don't trust leakers. The only one I ever trusted was "king Zell", who had a pretty much spotless track record, and I believe stopped leaking since he gained too much attention.

Lol, they haven't even put N64 games on NSO and they'd have more appeal/be easier to do. The next system to come to NSO, if they actually do another one, will be Game Boy or Game Boy Advance.

@Slowdive If I remember correctly, pokemon fans harassed him when Sword and Shield got revealed, despite him never actually saying the game was going to be "open world".

@Slowdive So people harassed the guy for leaking things correctly, and getting their hopes up when he didn't even say that those two things were actually happening the way they thought.
