So, to summarize: there may or may not be either a full general or mini direct, a Mario one or another partners showcase ... ? Which may or may not have any games ever revealed, leaked or speculated about covered in them? This may or may not happen sometime this month, next month or later this year? Otherwise, it'll definitely happen sometime next year! Unless it doesn't ....
@FragRed The only thing I believe is we're getting some Mario games! From the wording of the original stories back in march (most mario games) I think that could mean 2D (New Super mario bros series? game boy games?) as well as 3D...
Beyond that everything is speculation. I hope we get a proper Direct, but I doubt it, we'll see!!
It will have been pretty much a whole year since their last proper Direct. If this upcoming thing isn't a real Direct, do those even exist any more?
I wonder if they will become the main annual E3 only presentation and they'll use Indie Worlds, Partner Show Cases and shadow drops for everything else?
Nintendo hinted at life beyond Directs not too long ago.
@Slowdive Don’t expect 2021 to be much better for Nintendo. Keep those expectations low. If they struggled with the pandemic this much this year, and we know it’s not going away until sometime next year when vaccines become accessible (assuming they have any real affect), Nintendo will still need to get back up and running then make up for all that lost development time before they can even begin to get things back on track. In other words everything is almost certainly going to be delayed well. My thoughts is expect loads of shadow drops, a Mini Direct or two and more partner showcases.

Yeah, I do get it, @Slowdive .... I'd love a proper half hour+ direct, with top 1st & 3rd party games & everything, too! I just wouldn't get too hopeful for awhile, then I'll be delighted if there's anything but not disappointed if there isn't, that's about all

I interpreted that as them just saying "we're not ready to do a proper Direct yet, so we'll just announce a few things independently".
e.g Paper Mario and Pikmin 3 just got standalone announcements.
@Slowdive first he said there was going to be a direct. Then it was a mini. Then he predicted an indie. Then he predicted some games which may come out.... Ori 2, cuphead dlc, battletoads... (basically he didn't get anything right about the actual games) now he's predicting a direct.... Ever think he's getting info on direct drops but absolutely nothing about the content in each direct? BTW NATE said over and over and over "Trust 343" with his chest out hinting he had inside tips that the game was on track. The game got showed, criticized and now has no timeline on its release. I don't hate the guy, his podcasts are interesting but he's as reliable as the National enquirer.
@NotTelevision - I’m starting to feel bad for spoiling the big surprise, but it’s a pretty obvious one at this point. Yeah, I finally hacked Miyamoto’s email. I’m an insider now. His password was tricky, he doesn’t use “1234” like normal people, he uses “0123”.
Perhaps the 'leakers' don't actually know much but feel so pressured by all their fans that they're making stuff up? Some leaks that never happened might have been ideas that were discussed internally but never got the go ahead or got quietly shut down but since we wouldn't know which things those were & which were barely even considered at all or were completely wishful thinking ...
Future Game Show next Friday, so that'll definitely have some games
I was yanking yer cranks folks. I dont know anything. But if I did, and nintendo dropped a paper mario trailer( which they did), would you guys give me some street cred for it?
