I really really don’t think Nintendo has delayed anything because of the death of the Queen. No disrespect to her or the Royal Family, but her passing doesn’t affect Nintendo or pretty much anyone outside of the U.K. and even then, the average person won’t be directly affected.
I tend to agree even though I think you're understating the impact just a tad. There are still a lot of countries where the Queen is the head of state where the Queens death has triggered a bunch of traditions/protocols and whatnot. Eg here in Australia we are officially in 10 days of mourning and have a public holiday a couple of days after the funeral. There has also wall been to wall coverage on pretty much every channel with shows and events being postponed or cancelled
But you are right. I'm not sure how much Nintendo would care, especially given their largest markets are the US and Japan who (in theory) really do have no interest in the Queen. But even so, if you're going to make a point of announcing stuff you probably want to do it when people are watching. It may be a good idea to not push the publish button when you're directly competing with the funeral of the head of state of 15 countries

An opinion is only respectable if it can be defended. Respect people, not opinions
Give me Sports Story and Silksong and I will be happy.
We already know about Bayonetta 3 so no need for that, no more spoilers please.
We already know everything about the Pokemons so no need for that.
And a Nintendo game to look forward to for Christmas (not Rabbids as we know about that)
I really hope this is true but personally I put no stock in rumours unless they have a very credible source.
Still shall be keeping all my fingers crossed.

@skywake I noticed the U.K. Nintendo account hasn’t posted anything since the Queen died. Is that out of respect? not even about the Direct. Yes it is as I just posted below
