Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Okay. I admit that the last one wasn’t too good. But this one was awesome. I don’t know why everyone is suddenly assuming it sucks just because it’s a partner showcase? Just Dance 2021 and FUSER look incredible. Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 looks interesting. I’m all in all really satisfied with this Direct.

P.S. The leak mentioned August 20 and since it didn’t say “Direct” just “WILD CARD”, I think it was referring to the Indie World Showcase.

@boop23 It's all subjective. For me and my personal taste in games, it's been a good year for the Switch.

@boop23 Remember March 20? Was that not a good game? Animal Crossing! We’re not pretending. Nintendo is having a good year.

Hmmmm well Mr Grubb is saying he thought there was just one thing this week, so that will probably be it, but the full Direct should be quite soon after. Next couple of weeks he seems to think, but he doesn't sound like he really knows when.

If I was Nintendo, I'd just deliberately mess around with the dates to make the leakers look dumb.

lol if you played any other ac game than new horizons i dont see how you were impressed with it.

I'm not keen on these shadow drops. It doesn't give me any time to get hyped up for it. Though in this instance, it was perhaps for the best to not get too excited for this Direct Mini Partner Showcase.

I think people need to calm down and stop acting like spoiled fanboys like their life depends on this. Partner showcases are a new direct category that launched this summer. First party can still be announced like paper mario and pikmin on their own to not overshadow third parties in the same video.

@Dezzy Quite a few of the games from it are launching within the next few days (World of Tanks Blitz, Jump Force, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Captain Tsubasa). If anything's coming on Friday, it's not a Direct.

To be honest I only expected this week's info to be a Partner Showcase but this one is much better than July's one.

@teo_o wouldnt fanboys be the ones that accept everything they announce as great?

@boop23 fanboys can be the most toxic to their own idol

true

The main Direct is next month.

@boop23
Games are very subjective.
What game is bad for you might be good for other peoples and vice versa.

And if that doesn't happen. It's next next month.

I'm really relieved that we got to see that Mass Effect Trilogy news in today's Partner Direct. It puts my heart at ease and restores my faith in Grubb...

that botw2 trailer tho

@MsJubilee That's what my sources are saying.

@Shamrock

Skipping Mario Kart 9? Who do they think are, Windows?
