Topic: Nintendo Direct September 2018 Hopes and Predictions!

Mario Sunshine only really needs two modes for spraying water anyway. Run-and-spray, and standing spray. I don't think the pressure played into it at all. Then again, I haven't played it, so I don't know anything about it.

@1UP_MARIO @Octane @DarkRula

Yep. I just tried it on the Wii U gamepad and I think those controls work just fine. DarkRula's right. 99% of the time, you only need those 2 modes, which both work quite intuitively.
I don't remember every corner of every level in Sunshine though. So maybe there are some situations where it becomes an issue?
Lol its more intuitively functional that Star Fox Zero.

Does anyone know when they will release the direct that was delayed because of the natural disasters?

@Alantor28 Nothing outside of rumours being Thursday 13th but Nintendo hasn't said a word and likely won't until the day before it is set to air.

Will famitsu have anything on it from the direct?

@-Green- Possibly the Smash info overlaps.

@-Green- Quite likely, especially if there are Japanese third party Switch games featured in the direct. That's why I'd expect the direct to land either Monday evening or Tuesday morning, so that way the inevitable leaks from Famitsu won't spoil the surprises.

so they'll live stream a splatoon tournament but they wont give us a date for the direct.

They said they’ll announce it soo. Sounds likely to only be a week later at most.

@boop22 Well it's fairly simple to stream a live competition. It's much more complex to reschedule an edit an announcement/press event and to re-coordinate press releases, trailers, and surprise releases from various companies.

That said, I'm also getting impatient for the Direct. I'd thought that we'd get a new date by now.

@ilikeike if we dont have a date by tuesday im gonna be a tad bit pissed

Hmm, how about corocoro? The magazine that leaks early every time. Will it have anything Nintendo related?

It'll be a shame if more info contained in the Direct comes out before the Direct (e.g. Smash Ultimate info in Famitsu) but the Direct come when it comes.

At this point I'm either expecting Nintendo to drop the Direct Monday evening (with an announcement early that morning) or sometime Tuesday afternoon to avoid the inevitable Famitsu leaks. At first I thought it would be a bad idea to present on Tuesday since that's 9/11, but then I remembered that NBA 2K19 and other games are releasing that day so I suppose it doesn't matter that much anymore.

I seriously hope it's tomorrow. The wait is starting to kill me! Although it was respectable that Nintendo delayed the Direct, they're now running out of time thanks to Famistu and the Online service approaching.

the direct AT THE VERY least needs to have a date by monday afternoon

Two leaks from the Nintendo Direct state that Pokémon: Let's go Missingno. and Mortal Kombat NX will be announced for Nintendo Switch.

@Elvie But will they finally reveal the NX? It's been too long...

Sometime this week. I'm getting excited. I agree with Spawn Wave's assumption that the newest issue of Famitsu is going to have one or two major announcements for Switch. And because of that, the Direct should be aired no later than Tuesday evening, before readers upload Famitsu info Wednesday morning.

I predict that we'll get the new date for the Direct in a couple of hours, this Monday at 7 AM Pacific Time (4 PM CEST; 11 PM JST) (or thereabouts). That's the same time they tweeted the original date. If not, then Tuesday.
