Teaming up with a paintbrush wielding Bowser Jr? It makes sense, I'd suggested that the new character would likely be either Odyssey or Sunshine related just the other day like how Rosalina was Galaxy related, but I didn't even consider him somehow.
Still have so many questions though. Is the new area multiplayer? Is Bowser Jr. controllable? How long is the new content (I'm guessing under an hour from the trailer, maybe 20-30 minutes?). Is Bowser Jr. usable in the main mode?
I think the Bowsers Fury info deconfirms a January direct altogether. Either this is the new way Nintendo will be revealing games from now on or they just had to release this particular info now because the direct won’t be ready until much closer to or after the release of 3D World.

I really don't think we're getting any more directs, and they'll just do this from now on. If we don't see a direct around E3 time, I'm calling them officially dead.
I'm going with the prediction that either Thursday or next week is Partner Showcase and the Kingdom Come Deliverance "error" turns out to be a real Switch release.
@JokerCK I don't really see a General direct happening in the future, since it seems like Nintendo rather do first party announcements via trailer drops now. I hope I'm wrong on that though, since it'd be nice to have a general direct again. However, seeing that they announced this trailer as if it were a direct, I'm not so sure anymore.

Although Nintendo won't remain radio silent forever, I wouldn't be upset if they didn't say a peep until June. My backlog is saturated enough as is. Nintendo, take your time, no rush.

No, you don't need a specialist.
I'm also finding the "eternal rollercoaster of hype and disappointment of this thread" pretty amusing and entertaining to watch as well. I guess we should just get the popcorn out, and enjoy the show. 🤔
Please give Ninjala a chance, guys. 🤔

Also, if I don't respond to your post within a day (or two), don't worry, I'm not ignoring you. I'm going to be busy, though I will do my best to respond in a timely fashion.
Lol you guys are still sticking with the expectation for a Direct. Why would they have shown that Bowser trailer if there a Direct coming? It's not happening any time soon.
3D World is 12th Feb. Bravely Default 2 is 26th Feb. Monster Hunter Rise is March 26th.
I expect a trailer for a new first party game 1-2 weeks after the release of 3D World. Nintendo did this multiple times last year. Before 3D World we could get a partner showcase.
@Dezzy Rather than April, I wonder if we'll see a Direct for the Switch Pro on 3rd March? Anniversaries seem to be a thing now for Nintendo so announcing the Switch Pro on the 4th anniversary of the Switch launch seems like something they would consider?
Maybe, but my current guess is that Switch Pro is a christmas 2021 release, and is launching alongside the Breath of the Wild sequel, which will show off the various performance upgrades it has.
Because of how Bowser's Fury was handled, I'm pretty sure next Direct will be a Partner Showcase either tomorrow or next week. As for the decision for Capcom to do their own thing for MH Rise instead of being part of the Partner Showcase, I think it's because Partner Showcases are still very divisive so the game would get more hype outside a Partner Showcase.
Until the next general Direct happens, Partner Showcases will continue to be divisive.
I honestly just don't think we're getting a direct this month. Or at least a first party one. It's disappointing, but I feel as if First Party Nintendo directs are probably done for a while. I do, however, think that we might get a Pokemon direct next month, as Gamefreak has a history of doing directs in February on Pokemon Day. Not to mention, they had multiple directs last year, when Nintendo themselves stopped doing normal directs.
