Heh, so short you'd hardly sat down before you were getting up again, @BabyYoshi12 .... ? Hopefully, they might have learned something from that & can do slightly better next time, though
@BruceCM That’s why I liked it though. It’s not too long. Anything over 15-20 minutes results in me going to the website and watching what I want to, which is normally 2 minutes or less. So even though none of this speaks to me, I was happy to sit down and finally watch a not-too-long Direct.
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
@NintendoByNature Yeah, no. I can’t handle watching hours upon hours of information about games I’ll never get. Yesterday, I was happy to just have the feeling of a Direct even if none of the information mattered to me! That’s why I didn’t like March’s, @Grumblevolcano. It was long boring info, just a month after the Animal Crossing Direct that I watched. This one, is much shorter and there’s been 4 months since the last one.

As of right now the only games with release dates post-July are Crystal Chronicles and Jump Force in late August, the sports games and the original Shantae in September, Lego Star Wars in late October, and then Bakugan and Sakuna in early November.
That's pretty dire. As of right now I could literally go without buying any games until late October with Lego Star Wars. That's a quarter of a year.
@Grumblevolcano That's an interesting theory, which certainly could be the case - although I still tend to think it was probably coming earlier. The issue for me is that if Paper Mario was coming later, I don't understand why they didn't still release Pikmin 3 Deluxe which I think we all basically know should have come out around July but has obviously been pushed back for some reason.
@IceClimbers If it helps there's also PGA Tour and Captain Tsubasa (the anime soccer game) in August, AVICII Invector and RPG Maker MV in September, Samurai Jack, No Straight Roads, Zoids Wild and Prinny 1&2 in October and XIII in November.
Still a pretty dire schedule, but personally I'm at least looking at getting Crystal Chronicles (to play with friends) in August, and maybe AVICII Invector in September before Lego Star Wars.
Yeah. RPG Maker MV for Switch, when MZ just came over here on Steam, @link3710 .... Not sure how many will be getting that! Crystal Chronicles having only online multi-player puts me off, so maybe Prinny 1&2, I'm not sure yet
Do you guys think Nintendo has to announce at least one new game within 2 weeks after the Paper Mario release (like they did after Animal Crossing)? Or can they go 1 month+ without us knowing anything about the rest of the year?
@Yoshi87 I'd guess Paper Mario is the longer game and that's why it came first, droughts are less bad when games before the drought started are long. Like for me the wait for the January 2018 Direct Mini wasn't annoying because XC2 is very long. The chaos with flaming Chibi-Robo and the Odyssey image with Fe (EA leaked that a Direct was coming) and other Direct Mini hints was also very fun to be honest.
I saved DQXIS for times like these as that's a giant 100+ hour game. I'll get back to it if Nintendo's not announced anything by the time I finish Paper Mario and if Xbox is pretty much holiday 2020 packed but before then is barren.
Since WWE Battlegrounds is being published by 2K Games, it'll be swimming with microtransactions. I assume that's the reason for all of the ridicule. Otherwise I think the game looks like a lot fun. But I imagine more than a few people would've preferred a port of WWE All-Stars.
@Grumblevolcano That's a very good point - I hadn't thought about the length of the game, but I think you are probably right as Pikmin 3 Deluxe probably wouldn't hold people over very long.
