Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Sometimes i still don't understand the demand of Pokemon fans to keep the core Pokemon games stay Turn based style 1 vs 1, 4 abilities only, main character role just like eyewitness, very scripted plot of storyline (starting from the home, leaving Mom's house, meet with profesor, got challenged by gym leader, facing with villain and legendary Pokemons).

I really wish some changes like 3 vs 3 which there is a healer or protector abilities to support the team (other games like Moco Moco Friends did this), some unexpected storyline (it doesn't have started from parent's house, maybe put some twist like raising Pokemon due to emergency situations or after accidents, the main character got amnesiac and be a Pokemon trainer while still searching their true identity), Pokemons can get injured and unable to battle until got hopitalized, etc.

Nintendo did drop a general direct, wouldn't people need warning so they knew it was happening? Dropping a general direct without warning doesn't make sense.

It. Is. Happening.

Are you talking about the acceptance that there's no Direct today?

hes trying to manifest it into existence

So, no direct. Does that mean no Switch Pro, no new games just for the Pro, no new games at all.

Or did someone get the date wrong.

Or was there nothing much to say in the Direct other than announce a couple of Mario games, and that would now seem like an anti climax, so Nintendo pulled the Direct. 🙃

@jump maybe. Or maybe it'll be in 8 weeks. Maybe it won't. Maybe just maybe, IT.IS.HAPPENING

The partner showcases aired 4pm BST, so that could be another window for it to happen today.

Looks like the correct answer for August 28th news is absolutely nothing, not even Animal Crossing update info.

@theJGG They aired at 3pm BST.

@Grumblevolcano you never know. Nintendo may be feeling cheeky today and pull off a surprise. I’m not expecting one, but it’s happened before.

@Blooper987 I mean, that one in March was a textbook shadowdrop.

So this confirms it. Nintendo has absolutely nothing(maybe they'll prove me wrong with a shadow drop) for the rest of the year besides a Wiiu port. I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

@MsJubilee Cry, then laugh when Nintendo inevitably puts out something decent.

Wait, so the leakers were wrong? How can this be? Multiple folks assured us it. Was. HAPPENING.

I wouldn't rule out one being released sometime in the next 6-7 hours without prior notice, if any of you are still desperately hanging on to 28th hope. Losers

waited in hope.....well denial.

It is now 4.15pm in the UK and I think I have now accepted there will be no Nintendo Direct today

@Slowdive you don't "know" anything. Just guessing.

Even there is No Nintendo Direct today, i still happy with my games i have bought currently.
I still log on ACNH everyday, still many backlogs i haven't finished and other old games i want to buy.
And some upcoming games from playasia were my lifesafer.

These past few months have made me come to the conclusion that saving DQXIS as a backlog title for during the 2nd half of 2020 instead of fully playing through it back in early 2020 (I made the decision in case the droughts were worse in the 2nd half) was one of the best decisions I've made this year. Nintendo Switch is nothing more than a rumour machine nowadays.

@mariomaster96
These leakers should just stop posting if their info is wrong. If they claim it was an honest mistake, at least show proof where they got their sources.
