Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Well my prediction didn't last long lol

It is becoming really funny to me how many Directs we're getting...except for normal Nintendo Directs.

Honestly, this actually makes me way more excited for the next real Direct, because by that point, we will have basically ZERO Nintendo games with confirmed release dates. So I'm expecting...quite a bit announced in the next month or two.

So there we have it, PAX East 2020 will probably be something like:

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Animal Crossing, Metro, Rune Factory 4, Saints Row 4, Indie games

Let this thread....BURN TO THE GROUND!! Lol in all seriousness. Not an AC fan so a regular direct Would be cool but oh well.

The announcement timing is definitely a curveball haha. They usually announce these at 6 am PST.

Anyways, this might mean there's no major spotlight segment in the general Direct unless they plan to do one on Bravely Default II or Xenoblade Definitive Edition

@IceClimbers
Yay...! 😃
Animal Crossing Direct.
Hopefully we will see a big city or more buildings from the game features.

I'm still going with my prediction that next week is Indie World and then general Direct in March/April.

@IceClimbers YES! so happy!

@Grumblevolcano Yeah I agree with that, but I think it'll be the second week of March specifically.

@IceClimbers I'm undecided between the 12th (second week of March), 19th (day before Animal Crossing launches) and April 2nd (sometime in March a random Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition release date trailer appears so Direct doesn't have to happen before Animal Crossing).

I’m so happy for you @dannyboi you finally got the direct you wanted. Have a blast

I'm no fan of Animal Crossing but am happy for those who wanted a Direct oriented towards the new title.

I do hope we get a normal Nintendo Direct in a month or so. I'm wanting a release date for Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and more info (if not a date) for Bravely Default II. More games I didn't know I wanted are welcome too!

And my prediction turned out to be on the mark. (No I totally didn't also predict Indie World the week before). Clearly this means the next general direct will be April 1st.

And the Direct will be a prank of April's Fool. 🤣

y'all say that as a joke but...

@kkslider5552000 Oh no, I'm 100% serious about that direct being on April 1st.

Ugh this is annoying. Well I'm hoping that leak that claimed we'd have 2 Directs in Feb, ends up being correct.

I'm not sure I'll bother with Animal Crossing at all. Maybe watch the Direct and then buy it if it reviews especially well. It's really not my thing though......unless they randomly decide to add a strategy battle feature to this installment. Lol

I'm still going to watch the animal crossing direct but I have already decided to not buy it on day one because it's to close to persona 5 royal (ps4). I still hope that a regular direct is close because I want to know when I can finally play xcom 2 and trails of cold steel 3 on the go. Both games have been on my most wanted switch port list for a long time.

Well, you never know. They might add an arcade that you can build that features the villagers in a strategic battling game, along with plenty of other things. It's a long shot, but after the games added into New Leaf, I've been wanting them to include more ways to feature the villagers in situations they wouldn't normally be.

@DarkRula

I seriously doubt they're gonna add combat to Animal Crossing. It would be completely out of place with its style and character.
Not to mention the fact that it already sells like hotcakes. It's not like they need to appeal to new audiences.
