Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@sixrings Because they know they are wrong but rather than admit that they have zero idea what Nintendo are actually doing, they want to keep people following them and believing every word they say like some kind of Mosiah.

@sixrings come on. Everyone’s uncle works in Nintendo 😀

@Slowdive you never "knew" but you refuse to admit that but rather protect your sources whom are blaming their sources. Nice circle of blame you created.

It'll be quite entertaining tomorrow if it gets to 3pm BST and the announcement is more 35th anniversary stuff that isn't games.

@Grumblevolcano feels like the Wii u era when I spent more money on amiibos than a xbox one x costs.

@Grumblevolcano

I swear they don't even follow this 3pm BST schedule you keep suggesting!

Well, as long as we can get an announcement at 9am CST, I can live with it passing 3pm BST with no announcement.

I don't think we will se any "big" Nintendo Directs this year. The two biggest Nintendo announcments so far this year(Pikmin 3 and Paper Mario) has been tweeted. It just seems strange that they would have a big Nintendo direct just two or three weeks after a Partner Direct, altough Nintendo could have been contractually obliged to include some of the games in a direct before a set date, say end of august. But why would'nt Nintendo just include their games in the august mini direct?

I'm also afraid that these lackluster Partner Showcases will continue throughout the year. They are just so...boring...at least to me. I want Nintendo games in a direct, dammit!

But it seems logical to expect some kind of announcement before the end of september for what Nintendo is releasing during the holidays.

@Dezzy They definitely do make a lot of their annoucements at that time at least. It's exactly midnight here which makes it easy to remember. I take a quick peek at my YouTube subs after the date changes over just incase they decide to shadow drop something again.

I understand that COVID happened, but man, I just want a massive info blowout in a direct
We're all so antsy as it's been so long since that last 'General' Direct. I think we're probably just gonna get more partner showcases, unless Nintendo wanna surprise us

@Chunga agreed I bought a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games. But people here seem so grateful for Indies and bad third party ports maybe it doesn't matter to Nintendo. And I don't understand backlogs. If games were that great you would have finished them already. Backlogs are either games you deep down know aren't that great so they go to the back burner or backlogs are the result of people who can't control themselves and buy more games than anyone could play in one life.

@Josieppe

Same. I want like a whole years worth of announcements. They don't have to all be coming out anytime soon, I just want loads of things to look forward to and speculate about. Literally just give us a 30 second Metroid Prime 4 gameplay peak and Breath of the Wild 2 trailer and I'm done.

Which do you all think we will get first?

A trailer for the 35th Mario Anniversary Collection
Or
The price and release for the Xbox Series X/S and PS5

@FragRed price and release. Again it's not that I don't think some Mario games are going to come but Sony and Microsoft will need to start preorders soon.

@Slowdive

Lol they really tried to squeeze an article out on this didn't they? This level of insight is truly thought provoking:

He added: “Nintendo’s big teams have been working on games for a while now. They have games coming, and they will be exciting when they can finally be revealed."

@Slowdive 😭

@Dezzy who said that?Nate Drake?Jeff Gruff?can't they stop teasing us for something that might not happen.

@FragRed more likely that is the reveal of the price and release date of PS5 and Xbox Series X, is so un-Nintendo to do a Collection with almost all 3D Mario games, you can expect Microsoft and Sony doing this but not Nintendo, that why i starting to doubt that Nintendo is gonna release a 3D Mario Collection to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the franchise, that so un-Nintendo for them to do this.

Well regardless of speculation and hype it has been precisely one year today since the last General Nintendo Direct.

Been capable of staying patient and not let countless and continuous hypes, leaks and predictions get to me this year.

However, there is so much activity on the net today - I am actually starting to believe something will happen today.

Thanks guys for driving this hype-train so loud.. I'm on board now: HYYYYPPPEEEEE
