Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@MarioBrickLayer Prince of Persia if true would likely be revealed in the September Ubisoft Forward and if the Tony Hawk remaster comes to Switch it would likely be announced in 2021 given Crash and Spyro came to Switch a year after the other platforms.

@Grumblevolcano @slowdrive so is EA the only major studio which prefers to communicate with Nintendo fans via a Direct?

@MarioBrickLayer EA are the same as the others, if the game isn't already on other current gen platforms then the reveal happens outside a Direct but for ports that are already on other current gen platforms then Direct is generally the approach for the Switch version. For example if the rumoured Need For Speed Hot Pursuit happens it wouldn't be a Direct announcement as it isn't already on PS4 and XB1.

@Slowdive My comment was saying that (the March Direct Mini was the debut announcement of Burnout Paradise for Switch but came out on XB1 and PS4 in 2018). Burnout Paradise, Crash Trilogy, Spyro Trilogy, Assassin's Creed 3, Assassin's Creed Rebel Collection are a few of the many of examples of games that were already on other current gen systems but got announced for Switch in Directs. The big 3rd parties in general do that.

I wonder what Nintendo has planned for this holiday season? I know coronavirus has affected things, but are they really so quiet because of it? If they are being quiet because they are squeezing all their major games for this year into the last 3 months of the year(Mario remasters) couldn't they have spread releases out more? I know they want to release the games for Mario's 35th anniversary, but releasing all the disasters towards the end of the year doesn't seem like a normal Nintendo move. I wonder what is going on? Predictions for days of direct anyone?

People still expect them to release several Mario remasters this year? On one hand that's impossible because Nintendo doesn't do 2020, but on the other hand they're a bunch of ports, and they love them, so I don't know what to think

@DannyBoi I think it will be today

Somethings going on

@HobbitGamer Nintendo wouldn't surprise drop a normal direct. They have them either on Wednesdays or thursdays.

@NintendoByNature You're right. And it doesn't make sense like I said in a previous comment to release so many Mario games in a short amount of time.

@DannyBoi what does it all mean? Surely they need to speak of gaems

@NintendoByNature That there are no games😂😂😂?? NINTENDO IS DOOMED! WELL YOUR SWITCHES EVERYONE! THE PS5 AND XBOX SERIES X IS THE FUTURE! LOL!

@DannyBoi something is going on though. Maintenance or something

I'm glad you guys are in the know. I'd be disappointed if we didn't have some idea of what was going on at Nintendo.

@damien33ad Dude, calm down. There's a significant chance that's just a made-up rumor. Don't get yourself so worked up about something with no evidence behind it.

Leakers got a lot of things right this year. Paper Mario was leaked, Pikmin 3 deluxe was leaked (and they specified it was a deluxe version) the date of the partners and the indie showcase where leaked. Also a lot of big websites that usually don’t cover rumors confirmed the Mario collection and 3D world ports at this point I find it hard to still be on the defensive, although I completely understand not wanting to hype yourself to be disappointed if it don’t happen.

Just wonder, who is the leaker actually?
A Time traveller from the future?

@Anti-Matter doc brown is the leaker

@NintendoByNature Really? I thought it was Shulk and the power of the Monado...
