Another thing about the NX reveal announcement is that it still was at a good time, it was at night in the US yeah, but people were still awake. Not midnight. Everyone asleep in Europe and Japan would've had time to wake up to the announcement before it was released too.

IIRC it was like 8:30 PM EST

Has there ever been this much smoke without some sort of fire regarding Directs? At this point, it seems certain we're getting some iteration of a Direct on Monday—the only question remaining is the content and magnitude.

I mean, at the end of the day, we are going to know soon.

brazil, unfortunately
not that the direct is pretty much confirmed, I'm afraid it won't be as good we expect.
from what I could understand from Nate's podcast, the only major thing might be Mario collection.

Wait? Did something happened? I went to sleep a couple of weeks ago, just woke up. Did someone say something in the last 286 hours? Someone reliable? Did Reggie himself confirmed it? Did the Pope hint at BotW2?

Mario collection is almost as good as new game for me. They've never been remastered except 64, it's gonna be kinda surreal to see Sunshine and Galaxy in HD and on a portable. And in terms of the games themselves, any changes they make are bound to be interesting points of convo because I know the originals so well.

I thought it was at least a few hours later? I remember having to stay up.

Not in a very long time, I don't even remember this many people hinting/acting confident in the march mini. Nate may have said some things I don't remember, but Jeff Grubb mainly carried us to that one.

Even captain came back for this one.

Is one of the leaked/rumors switch games, obviously he is not going to talk about not rumored/leaked games, i hope there is more things that we havent seen or rumored yet

You wouldn't have had to stay up because it didn't leak before, it was a random night and we were all like HUH

Those were the days of perpetual "tomorrow". Every day people were staying up hoping to hear something. I think we even had a rumor that it was gonna be revealed in October so we were constantly looking for an announcement in that month.

I've been saying this but want to put my final say: I don't think we see BOTW2. Not an E3 replacement just basically Nintendo having to finally talk about at least the immediate games like Pikmin 3 and Mario. 3rd party wise I have no idea. I don't expect much excitement but would love to be proven wrong.

Oh I'm confusing it with the Japanese event.

we're past whether the direct is tomorrow.

now, it's if it's really a general and not a mini. And this weird announcement thing from kelios (which would kind of make it a general)

...cause a general increases the likelihood of botw2 and smash imo.
This is what matters now

My boss just texted me asking why I am showing online.

I feel like I should explain that Nintendo will take away all of my productivity tomorrow so I'm working on Monday stuff right now, but she will probably judge me.

Tomorrow I found out if BoTW2 will be shown with a release date or if I'm going to have a cross dressing link as my avatar until it releases, the fateful day approaches.

Honestly at this point I'm stayin up to midnight because I'm looking forward to the meltdowns more than a direct announcement. I do hope we get one but man it'll be sweet either way.

I believe it was late. I still remember exactly where I was; was playing Overwatch with my best friend and in the chat he just said NX reveal holy shit and I was like yeah right dumb ass (because we were so desperate for anything then and would just try to bamboozle each other). Then I noticed he was literally standing still in the middle of the match, then I realized he wasn't bullshiting. We both proceeded to just start freaking out and completely ignoring the game, apologizing to our team and everything. But some how, we still won that match and I have no idea how. Ah, good times.
