Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Sonic has a Direct tomorrow.

@Grumblevolcano If they're going to showcase Frontiers gameplay in it (which they most likely will), it makes me wonder why they didn't just do this earlier, then show the IGN gameplay afterwards. I know they have a kind of exclusivity deal with IGN for gameplay but surely they could've just had the Central be broadcast on IGN's channels or something right?

@Fizza @Grumblevolcano If Nintendo shadow drops wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass tonight as I'm beginning to suspect they will, I think that would be the writing on the wall for Nintendo's E3 Direct. Not to say there won't be a Direct in July or something, but if one was imminent the DLC would be announced there rather than shadow dropped.

Exactly.. to quote the great uncle Ben.."with great power, comes great responsibility." If only N knew this, they'd give us the date of the direct.

Capcom has a Direct on June 13th, perhaps we'll see more Sunbreak there.

DON'T.

YOU.

DARE.

If I'm reading that right it's just stuff for previously announced games, so I suspect we'll mostly see Sunbreak, Street Fighter 6, and maybe another look at Resident Evil 4.

Also gonna go out on a limb and say we get next gen patches for RE2 and RE3.

@TowaHerschel7
The Mario Kart 8 DX maintenance has already come and gone with no DLC shadowdrop.

There's a sale on Thursday for Europe:

Interesting. I wonder if any 3ds games will make the cut since Nintendo usually discounted many 3ds games during their typical "e3" sale.

Also makes me wonder if a direct is around the corner since we now have the super sale about to live.

@Grumblevolcano
Hmmm 🤔

The February 2022 European sale was announced 24 hours before the February Nintendo Direct was announced.
The same also applies to the September 2021 sale/Direct.

@westman98 If they were to announce one tomorrow, that would mean airing on Thursday which seems very unlikely given Summer Game Fest.

Yeah, could be next week, there's not much after the 2nd Xbox show.... Or the week after, which doesn't seem to have anything yet?

It's difficult to get excited for the Capcom showcase if all they'll show is previously announced games.

A borefest, like last year's Capcom showcase.

Skip.

@Grumblevolcano I mean they would keep with recent E3 tradition of stealing everyone else's thunder with their own showcase so maybe it isn't too crazy when you think about it like that.

Wholesome Direct was really dope for me last year, like I was impressed by almost every indie games shown from the direct.
Hopefully this year will be same.

Xenoblade 3 special edition preorders (US) go live tomorrow:

UK preorders are late July:

New Xenoblade 3 trailer has appeared.

@Grumblevolcano looks like there will probably be no Nintendo Direct this June.

I think we will see a direct this month, mainly because Nintendo never really announces directs too far in advance
