Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@PikaPhantom What's a Direct archive?

Yeah what's a direct archive and why is important for us?

Kirby. Nothing else. Maybe a smash reveal. That's what I'm expecting so I don't get disappointed.

@jump @JokerCK It's the page on Nintendo's website where every Direct that's aired, essentially, is...well, archived. The update implies a new Direct is ready to go.

We're going to get a Pachinko Direct in which Nintendo announces a collaboration with Konami to create a pachinko games exclusively for Switch that's inspired by everyone's favourite 3D Mario level, the pachinko machine level from Sunshine.

@jump @JokerCK the direct archive is a...well...archive, that Nintendo keeps all of the past directs. They have a habit of updating the archive right before a new direct is showcased. They upload it before it's official then all they have to do is make it public afterwards. We can't see what it is but we can see that it's updated.

@Slowdive Yeah, I thought so. They made it seem like they would exclusively reveal something though....

I see a Monster Hunter Direct from last week, but not anything else.

Gah, I can’t handle this pressure!!! Just drop the Direct already!!!

Mmm... okay, I'm actually possibly buying a direct happening now. Many coincidences, the lack of Animal Crossing Update or Smash DLC news... it might just happen.

Would definitely show up my 'next Direct is in March/April' prediction.

@BabyYoshi12

It doesn't have to be today. TGS 2020 begins tomorrow and runs through the weekend. Nintendo may not drop a Direct until that event is over. Keeping the spotlight on themselves.

So are we thinking they're gonna shadow drop a regular direct mini with first party news tomorrow? It is a Thursday after all.

Either a shadow-dropped Direct Mini tomorrow, or something announced on Monday to air the next day.

I'm sure a shadow drop of ACNH Fall update will be 3 days before October 2020.

Woah, guys. An entire direct for October might have just leaked, no joke.

Take it with a grain of salt of course.

lmao don't put your faith in these kinds of sites

@TheFrenchiestFry think I don't know that? I was just sharing it, cause there's nothing else going on.

It'll happen and if it doesn't it'll happen later. So either way its happening without a shadow of a doubt

honestly at this point I expect that we just don't get a full proper one until next. With all of the covid stuff and how clearly it seems to have impacted their release schedule and general output, it's just been easier to dish out the announcements piecemeal until they have enough put together to justify a full direct. That being said I think whatever direct we finally get is gonna be worth the wait.
