Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Only thing I'd really expect out of the investors meeting outside of financial data and updated sales numbers is info on Mario Kart Tour. Maybe an announcement of what IP they plan to use for a mobile game after that. Not anything else.

@IceClimbers I think we'd also see Switch game delays so like Fire Emblem changing from Spring 2019 to 2019 on the release schedule list that comes out of these meetings.

I think your new profile pic jinxed us into never getting a real direct 😉

@Grumblevolcano You're gonna die on that hill like with the Kingdom DLC, aren't you?

@link3710 You meant Daemon X Machina, right? Or is Deus Ex coming?
Don't play with my heart like that.

@IceClimbers I haven't given up hope for Odyssey DLC yet because of the Switch news section

But about Fire Emblem, I just don't see it releasing in Spring given the news drought. We've heard absolutely nothing since the E3 reveal, that's not normal if it's still on track.

Are we actually gonna get the revamped Eshop:(? I thought the big(11 hour maintence) would have been changing(revamping) the Eshop.

@Grumblevolcano It's possible, but at the same time they could have a massive dedicated blowout Direct for the game and it still release this spring lol

Is it mw or is Justin Beiber good looking:)? And lets what happens at the investors meeting.

@JackEatsSparrows Sorry, my bad. Totally meant Daemon Ex Machina. I'd love to see any Deus Ex make it over though.

@DannyBoi Nope! Eshop is a webpage, so it's been changed without maintenance in the past. When they update it, there likely won't be any announcement of downtime.

Let's face it, Directs have become sparser and sparser since Iwata's illness. I suspect they don't really achieve much more than is achieved by releasing information in more segmented fashion. It must be a hassle to try and coordinate a whole bunch of announcements for release at the same time while struggling to avoid leaks. Why bother - there's always a bunch of whingers straight afterwards anyway. Between Twitter, YouTube, the Switch OS news channel and sites like this, everything they announce gets good exposure regardless, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Directs as we once knew them are phased out almost entirely.

I think the fact that Yoshi's release date was announced earlier this month was a sign that we're not getting a direct for a while. Maybe late Feb? Otherwise they would've held onto that for the Direct. Meaning the Direct is too close to when that releases for them to withhold the info until then. Hence late Feb at the earliest.

Honestly at this point I could see the next Direct not coming till mid March.

Fire emblem is still sceduled for spring 2019. https://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-release-schedule-janu...

@Whitewatermoose you really think something will happen at the investors meeting?

I am not hopeful for this year guys. Not.many 3rd Party game s coming.No Nintendo direct. Pack you r bags nintrndo. It was a good run.

@dannyboi Don' be so negative. We already got 2 mainline final fantasy games , dragon's dogma, mortal kombat 11, crash team racing and darksiders 1 confirmed which is already better than last year. And I agree that they should already have done a nintendo direct but just wait and see I think we will still get some great games. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/game_developer_surve...
This survey is very promising and nintendo confirmed that we will get fire emblem three houses this spring. So combined with yoshi we already have 2 new first party games (more than last year) and I supose Daemon X machina is releasing in september if not sooner. The difference between nintendo and sony is that nintendo has weaker third-party support but on the first-party front. We get more games from Nintendo so no its not all doom and gloom we just have to be patient.

Edit: also this... https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/nintendo_reconfirms_...

@troy258 I also don't understand the negativity. It's only frickin January and people are already writing off the next 11 months lol. With AC, new Pokémon, Yoshi, Daemon X Machina and everything else we know about already seems like a good one for me. That's without even taking in account the indies, 3rd party/Wii U ports that are bound to happen and the things we don't even know about yet. The whole "Nintendoomed" thing is getting out of control imo. What benefit is there to being so negative about the entire year in the first month?

@redd214 yep exactly my thoughts. I get that the switch still isn't getting all the support it needs. If we look at february: god eater 3 , jump force and metro exodus should probably be on switch but it's not that we aren't getting anything. We are still getting trials rising and steins gate elite in february. Did people really expect anthem to come to switch... .
