Jeff Grubb: “Nintendo is not planning a new Direct at all for now”
- Thread starter Atheerios
- Start date
I don't think Galaxy 2 has been included in any of the rumors so far. It's 64, Sunshine & Galaxy 1
Games are still going to be announced so how they happen is irrelevant to me. The Paper Mario trailer seemed to do pretty well and the reception was positive overall so maybe Nintendo don't think they're losing anything by not planning another Direct for a while.
It will be a shame for other companies who had maybe hoped for a spotlight in a Direct but then you can't always rely on that happening in the first place.

So, by saying that games beyond Pikmin 3, 3d world and mario remasters will be shared in the next direct means.. No other games at all for 2020?
Wow
They are not planning a Direct for now. That doesn't mean there will never be another Direct again.
Well thanks to the Grubbinator at least for setting expectations as Nintendo refuses to communicate.
Well, the last paragraph pretty much tells us that we shouldn't expect a surprise announcement of anything but Pikmin 3, 3D World and the Mario Collection.
Which sucks if true. Can't say I'm excited about the prospect that Paper Mario might be the only actually new Nintendo game this year.
Nothing wrong with Mario ports, but I was expecting something new and big too.
Look at how much attention Paper Mario got from being announced on its own.
If it was announced in a Direct it wouldn't have got that level of focus.
If Nintendo announced titles through the year that would honestly suit me more and I think discussion would be better for it.

That's understandable given that there's usually been a big holiday game since the Switch launched.
But at the moment, it appears like it's going to be a 1-2 punch of 3D World Deluxe + older Mario ports.
We're still only in the 5th month of the year. Things could improve to the extent that a Direct is feasible by like September and as seen with TOK anything announced there could release within a couple of months. Or even something like Ring Fit which was even shorter announcement to release.
Makes sense. Difficult to put one together at the moment when plans could change for any number of titles pretty quickly. For the moment at least, it probably makes sense until things are (relatively) back to normal.
Isn't the hype build up only happen in forums and Nintendo fanboy, the general population will just catch on about the new game announced in their newsfeed
Man this is confusing
I get that they are ready to annunce those games (the rumired6and expected ones such as pikmin 3, 3d world and mario remasrers) even woth pr or tweet as for paper mario, but if there are other games I don't get why those should necessarily have a direct
If you have games, let us know, especially of some can be shared without a direct
To me this probably means that they are not sure/don't have other games ready to be launched in 2020
I don't have raw data to give you and as such I can only go by my own anecdotes. Which my anecdote is all of my friends even those not on forums or particularly interested in Nintendo always hear about them. Every major gaming news site has multiple articles both leading up to and then dissecting/reacting/rehosting trailers and that Nintendo tends to trend on all social media platforms for a few days before and after. I've even sees mainstream news outlets pick up on particularly large stuff.
The year isn't even halfway over and we have covid to fuck shit up, they still have time to announce shit.
Yeah, seeing as you have to have things to show during the Direct. They likely just aren't giving out dates for their staff/close 3rd parties. I don't want to add any addition stress to teams right now and would much rather show off stuff when they are confident in the product.
Admittedly, I posted based on the ERA thread title and not the article itself.
Xenoblade Definitive Edition is coming at the end of the month. My Switch is good for quite a while! Oh and Paper Mario
It makes sense. We got that Paper Mario drop just randomly outside of a Direct. That, to me, was a clear "we're not doing a Direct for awhile, so here you go, the first big announcement shared piecemeal."
I don't really care about my 40 minute long advert as long as I still get the games.
What they did with Paper Mario is perfectly fine.

Do you think there is any chance of any new game being announced besides the ports this year?
Well of course there's going to be Directs in the future...
Any news on how much the Mario games are being 'remastered'? I'm personally just expecting Mario 64 in 1080p/widescreen.
