Nintendo’s broadcast is prerecorded, a new Zelda comes out this year and current management isn’t big on live shows so it makes sense. Nintendo is gonna have a ton of attention unless they fumble TotK. Which if that happens I’ll eat my eye.

@MsJubilee Because Nintendo of America has long been prone to making Iinfuriating choices related to almost every aspect of the business.
I guess there's a silver lining to everything, though: if NoA didn't have those exact flaws, the Xenoblade games wouldn't have the wonderful British dubs that now seem integral to the identity of the series.

The online vouchers? They're basically the only way I buy first party games, guaranteed ten euros off per game and gold coins. I hadn't realised they were not permanent in other regions.
I find it cheaper to buy money voucher codes at a discounted rate through CD Keys, Nintendolife etc than using the 2 game vouchers deal. I suppose you can double them up so you use the money vouchers to buy the game vouchers for a further discount but it's still not as cheap as buying physical if you look around at places other than Amazon or Game.
@grizzgolf Currently there's only a select few GB/GBC/GBA available on the Switch via ports/remasters/remakes. If Nintendo opens up wider access to the library it'll be via Nintendo Switch Online, most likely the Expansion Pack.
@Ryu_Niiyama
Ya they always do a summer Direct on their own timing.
@MsJubilee
Wait what?!! Really? I used to LOVE those vouchers, then they disappeared for the last 5 years
I always top up with 10% off eShop credit from Raise or Eneba or NintendoLife sales, but if I can also buy vouchers to get even more off, I'm all over it.

Street Fighter 6 would be a great launch title for the Switch successor like how Street Fighter IV was the best launch title for the 3DS.

@Magician@Ralizah I live and breathe fighting games but I’m with Ralizah on this one. Ghost Recon had no right to be that good.

@Ryu_Niiyama@Ralizah Fair enough, fair enough. But lawdy was I hooked on the Street Pass aspect of SFIV on 3DS. That passive combat system with the collectible amiibo-like figurines. I was always chasing figurines with better stats for my favorite characters.

@Magician I got a lot of mileage out of those streetpass games Nintendo released on the system. I really wish Nintendo had something similar for Switch. It was especially fun going to cons and just getting conga lines of new streetpasses throughout the day. I didn't even bother bringing games with me on those occasions.
@Ryu_Niiyama Shockingly good. Still one of the best tactics games on the system, to be honest. I'm just glad it released early in the system's lifecycle, since it was only a lack of new releases that allowed me to even consider buying something with the "Tom Clancy" branding in the first place.

Random thought, but with the Direct rumors swirling around, I find myself not really needing one right now. I'm still busy with October's Switch releases and will be for a while, plus I still need to get FE Engage and Crisis Core. Plenty to play right now.
On the other hand, inject that Zelda TotK info directly into my veins please
@Magician how about lauching the Switch sucessor with the rumored timed exclusive Resident Evil(unless, Capcom canceled the game to focus on the Resident Evil 4 remake and the next mainline Resident Evil, Resident Evil 9).
Same here. I've still got Bayonetta 3, Shovel Knight Dig and Mario + Rabbids 2 from Oct plus Fire Emblem Engage and the old Personas waiting to be played. I'd be even more behind if I actually stuck with Pokemon to get to my favourite part of team building for meta battling instead of selling it on.
Still as nice as Zelda is with Sega working on new Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio, a new Donkey Kong coming, the LONG time coming of Metroid Prime 4 and Advance Wars finally coming out makes me want a Direct soon.

Wait, what? There's a new DK game in development?

I don't see it happening because it's been a long time since the last Mario platformer so that would likely take priority for that team. Wouldn't be Retro either because they're doing Prime 4.
