Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Everyone got it wrong. All we waned was one direct nintendo... Just one direct...😥

I'm happy if all the rumours are wrong. A Direct soon would be nice but I'd prefer it not be leaked beforehand. Even if Nintendo were planning one for Monday (which I doubt anyway), they'd be better off changing the date of it at this point.

It is currently 3:08 BST as typing this. I think it is now without doubt safe to say that Nintendo are not announcing any Direct's to take place on Monday. I also expect Nintendo aren't going to shadow drop anything that day either. This is why you shouldn't trust rumours even if the ones behind them have somehow managed to get it right previously.

Perhaps the announcement of something could happen on Monday but I'm not particularly expecting anything ..... Sometime soonish, they would, hopefully, announce some game for September?

The Nintendo Direct twitter account has been updated!

@jump 2 i's in direct, looks like a fake account to me.

@Grumblevolcano @jump It isn't fake, looking at it, its just some fan account. All they are saying is there is no Direct today but maybe an announcement.

It's a joke account that posts "no" everyday there's no direct, and they gave an update about there's no direct today.

Looks like no direct on monday mates.

I mean, it's no less likely than it was before this morning. By which I mean, almost certainly not going to happen. But last time there was a general Monday direct (in like, 2015 or something I think), I believe it was announced on a Saturday, no? Of course, Sunday directs were also still a thing back then.

You right, there is still loads of time for an announcement.

I'm not sure Nintendo would shadow drop a full Direct, if it's a shadow drop I bet it's the Mario Collection only.

The replies are mostly about no Direct announcement:

Lol. Talk about melodramatic and childish.

"At this point I find you to be just disrespectful. I never thought I would hate Nintendo as a company some day but this drought of news is simply inexcusable."

Edit: BTW I don't know why people expected a grand announcement today. I'm fully expecting regardless of whether it's a mini-direct, a full direct or just a little Mario 35th anniversary announcement that it will be shadow dropped or announced a hour or two before. If the rumour is true.

The lack of info NOW, by 5PM BST means nothing. If this is a real thing we'll get info before it, maybe even a day before.

@Reprise Of all the Direct styles, only the Direct Mini has been a shadow drop. Everything else has been announced at least 1 day before and given Nintendo's social accounts are silent on the weekend that suggests if no announcement today then either the Direct is either a Mini or doesn't exist.

Of a Mario only announcement in a similar style to paper mario

@Grumblevolcano Well I'm expecting a mini personally or even just a 5/10 minute Mario themed announcement. But I guess we'll find out soon. As you said, or it could be nothing. Monday always did seem like a strange day. That's why I figured if anything did happen it would be shadow dropped or announced a few hours beforehand.

I hope the rumour is true. Nintendo fans could do with something to brighten their days/weeks.

How dare they not announce a Direct they never promised!

They are less active but they still tweet sometimes on weekends, the following tweet for example was tweeted by NoA at june 27th (a saturday): https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1276945474830782464

And NoE even tweeted last sunday: https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/1282223221820010496

We won’t get one, don’t get hopes up people.
