Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Rexenoboy why would we get a direct for the second pokemon dlc if we didn't get one for the first one? i think a trailer or two will be enough

@Rexenoboy The first partner showcase was on July 20th and being listed as "July 2020", I think the strategy is to have monthly partner showcases. It is possible though that the massive backlash from the first means the concept gets dropped though.

As for Smash and Pokemon, I think both will appear in the normal Direct. March's Direct Mini was when the big info drop of Isle of Armor info happened.

@Rexenoboy
At the end of the last partner's showcase Nintendo said, that there would be multiple partner showcases throughout the year. So it's save to expect one every 1-2 month, I guess.

I think we will get a direct showcasing Mario remakes, Metroid 4 (with Xmas release date), Mario maker 2 update, and new Zelda to be released in November.

This direct will happen on Sunday at 4am

@mariomaster96 @Grumblevolcano
Whoops-a-daisy, my bad! I thought the first expansion got its own direct. Still, a Pokémon direct before the end of the year is still possible with all their spin-offs and what-not.

@dionysos283
Another mistake of mine, sorry about that. Once every 1 or 2 months seems like a lot though.

With all that being said, I still stand by my list.

Oh man, bad timing. I will be sleeping over at Shigeru Miyamoto’s house that night. I don’t think he would appreciate me watching the Direct live and waking him and his family up with the noise.

@dionysos283 Just hoping major stuff beyond SMT V, Nocturne and Bravely Default II is announced

He’d probably keep you up all night with his smoking anyhow

@Clammy Don't forget Mario Kart 9 which will be shadow droped directly after the presentation

I’ve heard about that. It’s going to have a platform section hub world like crash tag team racing. And will be set in space on Mario galaxy style planets. And if you complete game fully, in homage to Metroid, princes peach will strip down to her frilly undies

@Clammy please don't hub world Mario Kart. Its user friendly as it is.

@sixrings You're right, we need to go old school mainframe for the next Mario Kart with green text on black backgrounds

@FragRed everything doesn't need a hub world. They don't magically make games better especially when they are shoehorned in. Mainframe with green text though. You might be onto something

@sixrings Hell yeah I am! I want an end user interface like a text adventure. You'll get a several thousand page manual with tens of thousands of text commands you can enter for every type of outcome conceivable.

@FragRed DOS FTW

Funny, even without Direct i found some upcoming pre order games from playasia.

@sixrings well I’m sorry, but my uncle works at Nintendo, and despite being 83, says this is a fact.

Youtube is at it again, lots of recommendations of past Directs.

That’s it, with all these rumours and predictions, I’m gonna start playing the X-Files theme music every time I open up this thread. The truth is out there... or maybe not.

My friend John who also works with me says the direct is next week. He knows his stuff. He also knows when it rains and when they have good deals on broadband.
