Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@HotGoomba I find it incredibly funny personally. Here's hoping for Bayo 3, Persona or (my personal wish) Ace Attorney news!

@HotGoomba
Welp, time to eat crow.

@jump Everyone is my enemy. The internet bible says so in Mark 2:13 “And thou strike down thy enemies through the harsh words bought upon thee through the typing of the keyboard and pressing send. Amen”

@FragRed The bible also says life begins on your first breath, oh wait that's the other internet arguement I'm having.

A mini direct about a bunch of $60 third-party ports and a handful of indies: I'll pass.

This lines up with what I've been hearing as well 😏

Well, there it is. Even though it is a partner showcase, I actually have some good expectations for it. Pretty much guaranteed that Silksong and Persona will make an appearance I think. I still definitely would have liked a normal Direct more, though. Oh well.

But now the questions: When is the Booster Course Pass coming out? When is Strikers DLC releasing? Where is Mario + Rabbids?

I know a lot of people are expecting Persona and Bayonetta 3 but is there any chance of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters showing up here? It has been a year since they were announced I think

I really want to believe that they'll have a normal Direct the day after this one but at this point, my hopes have gone.

2020 - 2022 shows the importance of E3. We can now conclude from today's announcement that the 2020 info structure (individual 1st party announcements and Partner Showcases) was a result of E3 being cancelled.

@StarPoint If I had to make my own predictions:

• Booster Course Wave 2 in mid-July.
• Mario Strikers DLC in early July.
• Mario + Rabbids info in early August.

@Fizza I guess my main question is: Did Nintendo really not have enough to show to warrant a June Direct? I get that this year is packed already, but we hardly know anything about stuff coming out next year or late this year. But yeah those are some pretty reasonable predictions.

@chapu2006 I was also thinking of that as well, but it wouldn't make much sense at all at this point. Unless Nintendo just has so much first-party stuff to show off that they couldn't fit all of it into one Direct.

Hope the 28 lol

I expect nothing since I was content with Wholesome Direct 2022 for upcoming kids games.
If there is nothing interesting from Mini Direct, I just moved on and focus on other games I haven't bought yet.

@StarPoint That'd be pretty cool, to say the least.

I think we should take Nintendo at their word and assume there will be no announcements regarding 1st party games, I think Mario Kart and Strikers DLC will be announced via tweets at some point.

My predictions:-
1. Mario + Rabbids
2. Lara Croft double pack
3. Batman: Arkham collection
4. Sports Story (new trailer + date)
5. Outer Wilds (dated)
6. Cursed To Golf (Shadow Drop)
7. Tunic

If we get 6 out of 7 I will give this Direct a 10/10!!!

My niece's Chihuahua Cassandra listened in on a conversation between 2 janitors while waiting outside Atari's main building. She told me Nintendo is holding this Partner Showcase to get 3rd parties out of the way first. Expect a proper Direct within 2 weeks. Woof.

Considering the fact that Square Enix is a stupid company that doesn't know what they're doing, I don't think so.

Ok, if Mario and Rabbids doesn't get announced in the partner showcase, then why didn't Ubisoft just announce more details during Summer Game Fest? They announced it during their Ubisoft conference last year, so I don't see why not.
