@NEStalgia I was actually thinking about the future with my comment. I decided to look back at the September 2017 Direct and when watching it I remembered back to the Nintendo Life chat complaining the Xenoblade 2 segment went on way too long. What's in the Xenoblade 2 slot this year? Smash.
@Tsurii It is though I wouldn't be surprised if the next Direct has large spotlight sections for Super Mario Party and Smash similar to how the September 2017 Direct had large spotlight sections for Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2.
@Grumblevolcano Hmm, funny thing is I don't remember a long XC2 segment in any directs last year....and considering it's a big series for me, that's surprising. Though I largely don't remember the September direct at all. In fact I basically don't remember any directs at all in the post-Iwata era which says something not good about how they're handling them. They're so far and few between and so pre-packaged PR they don't really stand out in the mind, defeating their real value. With Iwata we'd get one every few months. After that we get like 2 a year + E3 + maybe some mini one game focused one and the ones we get they call "mini directs" as though only E3 is a real Direct now. Was that the one that had Dark Souls with a still frame and the Smash logo at the end? I kinda remember it now. Doesn't seem like that was September.
They really need to, IMO, think about what Directs are for, and why they actually do them....it doesn't seem like they really have a focus on why they do it anymore. Bigger news gets dropped on Twitter.
@NEStalgia Dark Souls at the end was January Mini Direct and Smash at the end was March Direct (Dark Souls did appear in the March Direct but was actual gameplay). The big reveals of the September 2017 Direct were 3rd party support like DOOM.
I do not know if anyone has told this here, but this 'August 3rd Direct' leak/rumor is getting traction on Twitter. Apparently, searching for Nintendo Direct on Google will pull out the results. Among the links, the official Nintendo site says 3rd August. Could just be Google's glitch, but it started happening 2 or 3 days ago. It seems strange to me, because usually it would be fixed within a day. It would already have been fixed in an instant, yet it's not being fixed.
It might link up with that image that was posted a week ago - where apparently in that image a user on Discord says he saw that same Direct on Nintendo Spain, but was taken down very shortly after. He said to 'remember the date is day/month/year', because you could mistake it for the March direct.
I'd already made a thread, but someone just locked my thread by saying it won't happen. I'm a bit doubtful, because this is getting popularity and debate. If there really is no Direct on that date, I will apologize, but the sources are not mine.
It just seems suspicious to me. First, that Direct leak of Nintendo Spain happened last week, and now that Google is showing the same thing. Is it just all a mishap, or could there really be a direct?
Again, sorry. I'm a new user here and thought I'd share this information with you. I know you are calling this fake, and I know how you feel when you want to call it fake. I'm giving it very low hope as well, but I'd love to be wrong about it not happening.
@Grumblevolcano Yeah, colloquially we have some messed up months. We consider June "summer" and September "Fall" and December Winter, with March alternately being spring or fall depending on how the weather goes. It's largely based on meteorological seasons, but calendar seasons are another thing. I recall in the past Nintendo counts Summer by the calendar, Jul, Aug, Sep, and Spring as Apr, May, Jun.
You northern hemisphere folk are weird. I for one am used to not thinking of the gaming "summer" as having anything at all to do with the actual weather. 40C outside, time for some snow in Animal Crossing!

@Michele I noticed the google search and mentioned it earlier in this thread. I think it's just a glitch (the March Direct was on March 8th which is August 3rd reversed) but if it is real we'll hear about it in around 12 hours.
But I do wanna mention 1 thing. This glitch has been happening 2 or 3 days ago. Google had time to fix it - usually it would be already fixed by now, yet now I see '10 hours ago'. Peoples are also seeing 'in XX hours'. So it could be most likely still fake.
@rallydefault I really want to find a Simpsons clip from the episode they go to Australia and find the toilets have been converted to swirl the " correct American way".
