@Harmonie Oh I agree. I thought we wouldn't get another Direct until the usual Spring one since the Direct Mini dropped.
At the end of the day, people can expect 3-4 general Directs a year: 1 at the beginning of the year, 1 in Spring, and then 1 or 2 post-E3. Game-specific Directs, as well as their E3 presentation fill in the gaps.
@JaxonH@Grumblevolcano That's assuming they plan to do a Switch Direct soon after. Early April (note: beginning of new fiscal year) seems like the most likely time for them to have their next wave of Switch announcements.
Anyways, there's really no reason why both versions of MHXX - and DQXI for that matter - can't be localized.
@IceClimbers Well I'm not even considering the 3DS Direct to be definite, sure there's evidence for it to be real but we can't guarantee it's real until Nintendo reveals it. Given the rumour says it's a Direct Mini, if it's real it'll just randomly go up on Thursday like the January one.
That said I do think we'll hear something on the Switch front by Kirby release at the latest. Even though early April would only be a few weeks extra waiting time, having a schedule where you know nothing with an actual release except Labo and Tropical Freeze is not a good position to be in.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE If you're genuinely joining the discussion, I can't see why you can't just join in, but instead present everything as though it is 'SLIGEACH's breaking news' - that's all
It often derails the thread - and in this case just looked (to me) as though you were attempting to steal someone elses thunder - which I'd consider to be pretty 'rude' and 'obnoxious'... (btw: pot... kettle...)
If you were just looking to join in, it wasn't clear - at all. You framed it as a 'news' post when it was already actively being discussed - which came across like you perhaps weren't paying attention to the discussion and just spamming (or even hijacking the original post) ..if I've got the wrong end of the stick, I apologise - that's just how I saw it.
I will apologise for the abrupt tone of my original comment as well - t'was a bit much...sorry.
I could see a 3DS Mini Direct happening, but only if the Wario/Link's Awakening rumors are true. Even then the 3DS stuff would be better served via headlines in a full Direct and some Tweets.
That being said, I feel like it would be somewhat tone deaf. Most people seemed to think that the Direct Mini in January implied there would be a bigger one accompanying it, and that the Direct Mini wasn't good enough. I think it's been pretty obvious for a while now that the Direct Mini was their beginning of year Direct, and that there won't be another one (for the Switch at least) until the usual one in March/April
It feels like Nintendo have become more secretive and have fewer directs but with more content with Kimishima. They quite often have a very short window between reveal and release. I think I like that more instead of hearing about games years in advance.
With that said, we will probably get a direct in Mars or early April.
I don't have anyone on my ignore list but I know I'm on at least one person's. Someone who's quite active on this very thread and one I've had friendly discussion with in the past. Not quite sure what happened there. Maybe ignored in error as I've done the same in the past, or maybe not
@OorWullie When using my phone I have several times hit the report button by accident when simply scrolling the forums. So perhaps that's what happened.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Well, @NaviAndMii has a point. This is a forum, and not a personal blog. No offence, but I don't think anyone cares when you say you've read the news first, or when you say you've posted about it two hours ago. It's not a race, or a competition. And whilst you do post a lot of links to other sites and articles, I rarely see you discussing the actual news.. Like, 95% if your posts are links to other websites and articles. Maybe you should start a personal blog if you're into sharing news. Just a suggestion of course!
@OorWullie Thanks for reminding me. It may happen some time that I repeat what someone has already said but it could be down to having some people on my ignore list so I can't see their posts or comments. It takes a lot to make that list.

The Switch is back on top of the hardware charts after PS4 domination for the previous 4 weeks. Bayonetta 2 at this rate might be lucky to reach 100,000 sales in Japan by the end of the Switch lifecycle.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Well, as you keep bringing up 'discussions' - my point was that, if you're the second contributor, perhaps you should initiate a discussion with the original poster? ..your post wasn't conversational, so kind of appeared to ignore the original contribution - which came across as pretty rude
There are some (more strict) forums that I frequent where that would've been considered a real faux pas...but I recognise my own faults as well - and sincerely apologise for my initial rudeness ("do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and all that)
That's all I can say - I hope you accept my apology and take on board my wider point. I like your bulletin-style posts and the uniform way in which you format them - but I like other peoples' contributions as well and think that they deserve recognition if it they were the ones who bought the story to light. It comes across like you're not even reading the thread (and just spamming) otherwise.
Hi Koopalings, don't attack me for this but I still love playing on the 3DS. Just this month i've been busy with Radiant Historia and SteamWorld Dig 2. Both great titles that I missed on other systems. I'm also interested in Detective Pikachu and The Alliance Alive at the end of March.
I hope the King of Cards DLC of Shovel Knight comes soon, along with announcements of localisations of Japanese games like Dragon Quest XI (really enjoyed the remakes of VII and VIII on the 3DS), Yo-Kai Watch 3, Persona Q2 and Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2. I really enjoyed the previous games in those franchises. And if rumors are true of some crazy remakes like Link's Awakening, that would make me a happy 3DS owner in 2018.
