Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Octane Was the source who drew the picture a 7 year old?

@Grumblevolcano Where you getting this news from?

Edit: Never mind I saw the tweet you posted. I thought it was another advert at first.

@Grumblevolcano for 3ds and uk only....yay...

@FragRed I think they traded Reggie's kid a couple of Mars bars for this insider's info.

i do hope the nx reveal date is announced during this. nintendo is really going out of theur way to not show nx.

@WebHead No, the 3DS Direct is worldwide.

EDIT: Just like the other directs, it's been made clear that there's no NX info.

@Grumblevolcano hmm last couple directs said no mobile or nx. this says no nx. maybe we will see the FE and AC mobile apps?

They'll be selling you a new 3ds two weeks before the nx shows up. Definitely

@WebHead

Huh, looks like my sources were spot on! There was one early September. ^_^

As well as my guess. There will be another Direct in winter then

@Octane -yawn-

No mobile news either.

@Grumblevolcano so no watch for me then. no nx or mobile, then no care

I kinda hope the fact they are having a 3DS direct at the beginning of September is to make sure that theres a significant gap before the NX reveal later in the month, it would ensure people actually care without the hype being instantly overshadowed by a bigger announcement.

Clearing the deck chairs

I'm thinking the September 3DS Direct may mean NX reveal is still a few months out (say November for example).

Out of the last 3 months, November is the most likely to have a Direct. And it makes sense for them to avoid Sony's September event overall. November will have Nintendo in the spotlight

The Neo and Scorpio are just new versions of the PS4 and XB1

@Grandpa_Pixel That depends, November is often the big month for holiday games, the average consumer who doesn't read news sites could easily overlook a Nintendo Direct. Plus that's the month Pokemon comes out? I'd imagine there's going to be a big last minute marketing push for that games

@FragRed Well I am using statistics to guess when they are. I guessed September and that was spot on (regardless of if my leak was right) and now I am putting a bet against my friends on November. I am that certain.

For the last 4 years, Nintendo has done a Worldwide Direct in November. Neither October or December holds that.
