This week is the week, I can feel it in my bones.

Has there ever been a Mar10 day Direct?

No.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Nope, but they only invented it in 2016. So the first time they really could've done that would be 2017.

@link3710 I thought that was the Nintendo Switch Thread that’s pinned to this forum? It was initially all about Nintendo’s plans for the future when we only knew of the NX.

That includes a lot of discussion about old/current games too though.

Makes sense that there's a separate thread for future speculation and hype.

Tomorrow is MAR10 Day.
And.... No sign of Direct.
Well...
I still have plenty of backlogs and other games i still haven't bought yet.

@DannyBoi
Because Nintendo has decided March 10 as Mario Day since i and o looks like number 1 and 0.
And maybe it will be special event during MAR10 Day such as discount for Mario games or Mario merchandise on sale, etc.

A big thing suggesting BotW 2 is 2021 is the 35th anniversary of LoZ. Most of the anniversaries we've gotten something big:

  • 1986 - The Legend of Zelda (NES)
  • 1991 (5th anniversary) - A Link to the Past (SNES)
  • 1996 (10th anniversary) - Nothing
  • 2001 (15th anniversary) - Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons (GBC)
  • 2006 (20th anniversary) - Twilight Princess (GC/Wii)
  • 2011 (25th anniversary) - Skyward Sword (Wii)
  • 2016 (30th anniversary) - Was likely meant to be BotW but got delayed because Switch launched in March 2017
  • 2021 (35th anniversary) - BotW 2

The Oracle games and nothing for 10th anniversary are the odd ones out but for the most part, a new big Zelda game has launched on the big anniversary years.

@DannyBoi 35th anniversary of SMB later this year is why Mario Day is more important than usual this year, probably means our big holiday 2020 game is more Mario. Don't think we'll have a Direct on Mar10 though.

@Grumblevolcano Do you think the Eshop maintenance has anything to do with Mario Day?

Destiny, justice and retribrution will be mine.

@Grumblevolcano 25th anniversary also had the Ocarina of Time 3D remake and the Four Swords Anniversary edition, just to back up your point further - I really want BotW 2 to make it into 2020 but a large part of me doubts it will

Anytime now. They need to have some sort of announcement for IOMAR day, right?

The announcement for today will be that the virus has shut down all production and all games have been delayed indefinitely, obviously

@Grumblevolcano

No way are they gonna rush a Zelda game just for the sake of symbolic consistency.
If it's not ready by December, they'll just delay it.

@Grumblevolcano TP being on an anniversary year wasn't planned though. The game was originally planned to launch a year earlier, no?

@Grumblevolcano

Oh yeah, I wasn't paying attention!

Anyway what time was the Animal Crossing Direct announced a few weeks back?

I thought of something. DOOM 64 is a preorder bonus for all versions of DOOM Eternal, right? Well if DOOM 64 becomes purchasable before the Switch version of DOOM Eternal can be preordered then that will discourage preordering DOOM Eternal for Switch digitally. So by that logic, we'll probably have the new DOOM Eternal Switch release date before March 20th.

@Grumblevolcano Sounds logical honestly, and from what we've heard about the status of DOOM Eternal's port, quite doable on Id's end.
