Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Looks like Rare teased the rumours of Sea of Thieves going to PlayStation and Switch

No announcement at 2PM yet; would it be announced at 3PM instead to adjust for the clocks changing or no?

Update: ....huh

It's more likely a Valentines Day lol than a tease for the game being ported.

@Fizza Huh indeed :/
This is all positive though, well for Switch 2 at least. I suppose this really does just leave a Partner Direct as the last possibility whether that be announced in an hour or shadow-dropped, I'm not sure really

@Nintoz They could also be announcing this Peach info now due to it being Valentine's Day (which is arguably the best day you could drop a trailer for a game like this XD) but yeah: it does throw a lot of our assumptions out the window. Guess we'll just have to wait until 3PM to see what, if anything, happens!

I really don’t get it sometimes. Some People keep clamouring for a direct, knowing it will likely be a partner one that they will complain about it being a partner one? Or maybe they let the internet people pull a rug over their heads again? I don’t know anymore

(I mean the ones on Twitter who do this everytime, I know there are people who either don’t care or would love a partner direct, because I’m one of them!)

@Fizza Why wait for a direct when you can get a virtual kiss (or two) from Nintendo!
Ah well, I guess we'll just see how tomorrow pans out

Keep in mind that partner directs have been shadow dropped before with no prior announcement, so that could be the case again. Otherwise, the only February direct we'd likely be getting this year would be for Pokemon Day in about a couple of weeks

@jump Nah it’s got to be a tease because the rumours told me it was coming and therefore I will deliberately see vague references in anything and everything no matter how absurd it is 😝

Oh well looks like a partner...
If we get Sonic X Shadow Generations stuff and Mario And Sonic at the Paris Olympics that would be cool.

@PikaPhantom I recall something about getting rid of Mario in Mario & Sonic to allow the franchise to go multiplatform.

@Grumblevolcano That was for a mobile game in 2020 lol (i think)

@Grumblevolcano There was a bit of speculation regarding it, but Sega also put out a regular Olympics 2020 game to begin with, so there's not much need for them to cut Mario out of the series. Plus, there was the mobile game that only starred Sonic, as @GalaxicGlobe mentioned.

On the one hand I kind of want a partner direct... on the other hand it would be amusing if there was no direct just so every single leaker was wrong.

Welp, partner showcase shadowdrop tomorrow at 9AM CST then

@FishyS If there is no direct will this be the first time Pyoro is wrong?
