OK, I've checked & it's a one day holiday .... While it seems unlikely they'd have 2 mini directs in one week, anyway, so next week is still at least possible! Perhaps the next partner mini will reveal some new games, since there's not really that many to spread out otherwise?
Guys, just because they are dedicating a Direct to third-parties doesn't imply that something Mario wouldn't be shown in the near-future. Too many trustworthy people have already claimed its existence. Same goes for the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Pikmin 3. Maybe Nintendo wants to separate third-parties from its own Nintendo Direct because of their upcoming big announcements? Nintendo has to come up with something soon, that's for sure.
I'm not saying Mario re-releases are coming to the Switch or not but even trustworthy leakers (hah, irony) have been wrong before such as Earthbound 3, Star Fox Grand Prix etc. Rumours are to be taken with a pinch of salt for a reason.
@jump Talking about untrue rumours and racing, wasn’t there supposed to be another racing game coming to Switch this year? I’m pretty sure that was a rumour doing the rounds earlier this year and everyone believed it to be Mario Kart or F-Zero related. Seems to me that people get way too overhyped over anything and everything regardless who says it or how credible it all sounds.

There was talk based on the F-Zero twitter account but off the top of my head there wasn’t a specific rumour about a new racing game beyond there’s rumours of everything on reddit. I may have just not have been paying attention though.
It’s one of those thing where you remember the rumours were right rather than when they are wrong.
@jump Not true. Star Fox Grand Prix originated from a 4chan post, and I don't recall any of these people I mentioned saying anything on Earthbound 3. 🤷
I’m not attacking those people claiming everything they say is wrong but at the end of the day lots of people talking about the same rumour doesn’t make it become fact, when it’s announced it becomes fact. Pinch of salt.
Well, that's a bummer. Only 10min for previously announced third-party games. Talk about killing the hype. But this can't be everything they've got for this year. There surely is a second announcement in the making. I'm curious how long Nintendo can wait to give it to us. 😉
Just going to come right out and say it. 10 minutes of EA telling everyone how to use your credit card to buy surprise mechanic so you are all set and ready for FIFA 21 Legacy Edition.

I think Bayonetta has been pretty much done for a while now. I think they'll wait for a big Direct to show it. Who knows when that's gonna be though. My guess is they're waiting on Metroid to be showable in some form. So they can hit people Bayonetta, Zelda and Metroid all at once. To show that the Switch isn't dead in the water when the new consoles arrive

Exactly. Most likely scenarios: 1. There is just one source, and everyone is looking at the same source. Which could turn out true or false.
2. One "credible" leaker thinks it must be true. And the rest just follow suit because they believe he/she is credible or has credible sources. Least likely scenario: every leaker has done their own research and have different sources of their own confirming the same thing.
I still want that Predictions thread that shows what has been predicted and turned out to be false and what turned out to be true. We're constantly seeing these names pop up and after some repetition our brains think they just have to be credible.
Whatever happens I won't be disappointed because I'm not expecting anything. Only when the system's life cycle is done I can look back and judge for myself.
Is it true the original statement was mistranslated and it's actually 30 minutes long? I saw a comment making this claim, but it's hard to traul through various posts online to verify it.

No, the Japanese version says 10min. My girlfriend is Japanese.
5 mins on how they have updated FIFA 2021 which now includes empty stadiums to reflect the current season, Just Dance 2021 will include soundcloud rappers I have never heard of and "please understand" Bravely Default 2 has been delayed.
@jump You missed the part where EA says “unfortunately most the players were taken ill due to the virus, however you can speed up their recovery by purchasing in game medical care.”
