Topic: Amazon nintendo direct leak.

Amazon just leaked a new nintendo direct with supposedly 1 new pokemon game and 2 remasters of 3ds pokemon games.

Could this be a gamescom direct next week?

Just wanted to let people know and give nintendolife a heads up.

EDIT: it was amazon UK, there were 30 games listed under “just announced” for switch. Source only mentiones the pokemon games.

@darkswabber Get Nintendo Life what, now?
Oh, you mean GIVE Nintendo Life a heads up...

@ThanosReXXX yes sorry 😂 I’m going to edit it.

@darkswabber No worries man, just making a bit of fun of you...

I call fake on that one. Two easily photoshopped pictures from an unknown Twitter account.

@Therad could be, could also be real. I don’t know how to check it but apperantly amazon UK has them listed so I’m sure someone could check it.

Guess we'll find out soon enough...

Do listings always go up with "just announced at the Nintendo direct event"? Seems a bit too obvious/convenient that they're announced as being from a direct instead of just being a random placeholder

@MisterPi it may be fake/photoshopped but these style of listings on Amazon happened before other directs

also a reason to fake it because make it look like a previous leak

Gamescom is soon. We know publishers (like THQ Nordic) skipped E3 specifically to announce games there instead. Then it's also fair to assume that Nintendo will at least have a smallish Direct to address how online multiplayer for some games will no longer be free, i.e. - the launch of Nintendo Online. Add to that, Nintendo has already mentioned how not all of their planned 2018 games have been officially announced yet.

Things could happen over the next month to fill out the rest of the year.

...This is Amazon, you know....the people that thought a Switch game was a Wii U game, or something.

I'm going with fake on this one and I don't think we'll see a general Direct until August 30th at the earliest.

@Joeynator3000 the same amazon that got devs and publishers annoyed with their constant F ups with putting game listing up online too early.

I haven’t seen a case were a trusted retailer leaks a game and it didn’t turn out to be true. Sometimes it gets revealed the week after, one time a dutch retailer leaked a game that got revealed a few months after but the leak still turned out to be true and not a lucky guess. (Dead island collection for ps4 and xbox one was such a case)

@Magician since then they have announced a new labo kit. Don't get your hopes up for much more than that.

It doesn't have to be anything earth-shattering. I'm the kind of Switch gamer who hopes that publishers push more of their 2005-2014 catalog of games onto the Switch. Although I'd appreciate something massive like say...Animal Crossing for Switch...to be announced tomorrow. I would be equally excited for...Resonance of Fate, or something equally obscure and niche.

[OT]Speaking of which. What is Tri-Ace doing these days? I wonder...

Remember how Nintendo announced that Mario kart mobile game forever ago that everyone forgot about? When's that suppose to come out again? It will probably have a direct as well I'm guessing

2 switch games for the 3DS? Uh, fake I say
