Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

But... but... but... Wild Card.

Might be a weird take but I think we might get a Partner Showcase soon, since I don't think Nintendo is done with the format - plus, we've had a few recent Sega leaks (Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, Sonic Colors Remastered/Ultimate) and the big Capcom leak had the Great Ace Attorney collection slated for an April reveal. Plans can change, of course, but I doubt a full Direct would happen before E3

@dannyboi wow. You really think n64 and gamecube games. Hope you don’t get disappointed

So is it happening? Probably not til e3 I'm guessing folks!

Pikmin 4.

It’s happening.

One day

We just had an Indie World, I'd say we're good until E3.

E3 will be our "partner showcase", what with Bayo 3, MP 4, and BotW 2 most likely being 2022 games.

Still, I'd be shocked if E3 wasn't the stage where Nintendo blows out SMT V deets.

@jump finaly Nintendo is gonna reveal/release Pikmin 4, i waiting this game since 2015,@Magician Metroid Prime 4 look to me more like a 2023/2024 then a 2022 game like the games you mentioned.

@Magician Doubt e3 will be the partner showcase. Mainly because small publishers like Square or Ubisoft will be attending e3. We'll probably get a partner showcase before e3, or nothing until e3 itself.

@VoidofLight

My point is, with E3 around the corner, why would there be a partner showcase between now and then. Wouldn't every major publisher just bottle their announcements until E3? Who's all signed up for "E3"?

So if you didn't mind seeing a Partner Showcase in May that didn't include any of the participating companies listed in the link....well then I suppose maybe.

@Magician Ah. You meant moreso the partner showcase thing as e3 itself, and not just Nintendo's presence at e3.

@VoidofLight

Yeah, all the major companies will be fairly quiet from now till June. Any kind of Partner Showcase between now and E3 would only be AA-tier, port, or "indie" bottom-barrel scrapings that would probably upset Nintendo fans rather than get them excited for the upcoming Spring-Summer release schedule.

@MetalToad The rumour did say they would come to the service. And the switch can handle gc and Wii emulation.

Nintendo has done pre-e3 announcements in May before

I have played the dinosaur planet rom. Very good. I've uploaded gameplay to my YouTube channel.

@LzWinky

Did you...not read my previous post?

The one above yours.

Edit: P.S. - The last Direct released in the month of May was specifically for Super Mario Maker 2 in 2019.

With that in mind, would a Direct focused solely on Famicom Detective Club get you hyped?

Also, talking about e3, do you think Nintendo will save nso announcements for e3?

don't make sense for Nintendo to do a Partners Showcase or a Nintendo Direct now, they have E3 2021 to reveal severals first/third party coming to Switch, problaby after the Capcom/Ubisoft/Square Enix presentation at E3 2021,if they reveal a Switch game(maybe yes, maybe not, Nintendo will just rebrand this anouncemt in they Nintendo Direct E32021 Presentation)@DannyBoi we don't know, Switch Online might stay with NES/SNES Games until the end of Switch lifecycle.

I think the only thing we'll see next month is a pokemon direct, if anything at all. Mainly since Pokemon directs happen before E3 if they have new games to show off, and then they generally just recap it during e3.

@VoidofLight

Didn't Game Freak already outline everything they have for the next eighteen months? Pokemon D & P will no doubt be Nintendo's Holiday, November game (games?). Arceus will be next year's Holiday release. And even though New Pokemon Snap is a late April release, I'm worried that showing any more than a few minutes of gameplay would be spoiling...the whole game in its entirety.

@Magician Arceus has already been announced as coming early 2022.
