So we're now at the longest gap of no Indie World from the start of the year, previous gap was last year with the first Indie World of the year being on April 14th. Instead, last week we got a trailer for Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes.
@Grumblevolcano Wonder if Nintendo felt better to hold it back until May so they can have a indie Direct and a general Direct within a fairly close proximity. I am just wildly throwing out thoughts. Cos I would hate the answer to be that there isn’t one for first half the year.

Possibly! One thing to note though, is that they randomly just drop N64, SNES, & NES games on us without directs or formal presentations. So I wouldn't be surprised if it followed this pattern as well.
@NintendoByNature
What news/rumors/updates indicated that there is supposed to be big news this week? (I feel like I must have missed something). I want nothing more than a new Mario strikers trailer with video showing the inclusion of sidekick characters.
@Marioman2022 I think they will. It's obviously not as much hype as the Smash reveals were, but it's likely going to be something consistent to look forward to every Direct. If you're a Mario Kart fan, that is.

Between the XC3 website updated on Saturday, a very recent Nintendo Life article and the major NSO maintenance (everything is down for a few hours on Tuesday), it's honestly seeming like there may be a general Direct this week. Would be weird to have a Direct this week given the Three Hopes trailer last week but maybe there's a lot of stuff to show about that game such that a trailer could be outside a Direct.
@Grumblevolcano God it feels so early to have one in April for once, especially after getting another general one at the start of February and a Pokemon Presents at the end. Then again, with E3 cancelled, they could be condensing a lot of E3 announcements into multiple separate announcements through regular Directs so we'll see (I just want Pokemon Emerald on Switch man. It's probably not gonna happen but could you imagine if it did).

I could honestly see a direct happening this week. I just hope they don't drop news for Xenoblade 3's collector's edition randomly, since I really want to have a chance at nabbing it this time around.

Thinking about it, another potential thing that could suggest Direct is Sonic Origins. The info in the Nintendo Life article suggests a release soon and the April 2017 Direct had segments on Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces.
Yeah, it’s very strange, as it’s actually been pushed forward. They initially said it would come out in September.
Also, I don’t know why, but I’m getting a creeping suspicion that Splatoon 3 is further off than we think. I thought it was a lock for July, and while this doesn’t necessarily debunk that, given how little we’ve seen of the game thus far, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pushed back.
