I'm disturbed by the lack of hype in this thread.
Of course there won't be a direct if we don't believe in it.

People still so bothered by speculation. Not everyone gives a shit about Gaming Intel and people will live if there's no direct this week. It's all in good fun.
I mean to be honest the only reason I was hoping for one this week was because of the Best Buy leak, but now it seems like some people are saying that's probably not true either now so I don't know what to think.
Best Buy games can be announced whenever, they've had listings in the past that were live over 7 months before announcement (like Smash)
So regardless of a direct existing or not, do you believe those listings are accurate? I'm just thirsty for Persona on Switch to be honest, and the wild ride of whether it's happening or not isn't that fun.
Jason Schreier heavily insinuated Persona 5 isn't coming to Switch unless Nintendo is handling the port themselves. Do you think Nintendo will port the game internally and that's how we get it?
Is there a reason you keep downplaying people speculating on this possible Direct so hard? No offense, but I've never seen you act like this. Not only here, but on Twitter too.
That reassures me, thanks.
If I could marry a person's voice, it would be yours Jonneh
From what he's heard. He's gotten things wrong before. I still fully expect persona 5 to release on switch
It's exhausting to see speculation on every video and tweet when it's led by GamingIntel, a site that has a terrible track record and promoted piracy. Even their September Direct accuracy was against embargo as a publisher told basically every journalist about it
Of course there may be a Direct but why are we giving this site the time of day?
I'm not sure why Nintendo porting it themselves would make it more likely for it to come out.
Because Jason seems pretty confident Atlus themselves are not porting P5 to Switch.
Why, because half the fun of a Nintendo Direct is the hype that is spun up beforehand, and the friends we make along the way!
But yeah, with only one website making the claim it's a weak lead. I suppose that for some, the journey is truly more important than the destination itself.
While it's not impossible for Nintendo to publish/distribute a Persona 5 port, I seriously doubt they would create a port of it at one of their internal studios. I can't recall any kind of situation where that's happened before with Nintendo, and I don't see why it would start now.
Because you might have already been screened with the Nintendo direct. We just like having fun. The game I'm wanting out of the direct is probably never coming.
Personally, idc about Gaming Intel. I was saying last month I could see a direct April 11th only because of how Nintendo does their General Directs.
Gaming Intel is just feeding people what they want to hear while being shady. It sucks, but many people won't care who tells them a Direct is coming. Once someone like Gaming Intel says "Direct coming April 11th", then you have media and many many many Youtubers wanting to give Gaming Intel this coverage. So it spreads and spreads and here we are. I've seen Youtubers say "get ready for the Direct this week". They just feed the fire and add fuel to their subscribers. When subscribers see their favorite Youtubers giving these people like Gaming Intel cred then they follow.
These Youtubers or fake leakers on Twitter don't care what shady crap Gaming Intel does. They're all along for the ride, the clicks and views.
The fun of directs/game speculation can turn quickly to toxicity so keep this in mind whatever happens today/tomorrow and the same with whatever happens with Persona 5 announcements on the 25th.
At this point I'm incredibly confident there will be no direct tomorrow. I still expect a smash direct before the end of April though, just not this week.
I like Arlo a lot in a pre direct fase. Just along for the ride and not acting like a know it all.
I mean atleast no one reports on Marcus Sellers. I'd like to hope if there's no direct this week it'll be the end of anyone taking Gaming Intel serious online.
What if they cancelled all future Directs now that Sony and Microsoft have started copying them?
Arlo is pretty cool. I usually like his videos, especially his Paper Mario videos (yes he wants the series to return to its roots).
Damiani from Easy Allies did some research. He said this is the longest we've ever been from a mainline Zelda release to the next mainline Zelda game announcement. We're over 2 years now. So he's expecting the next 3D Zelda to be revealed at E3!
This makes me think he knows P5R and P5S aren't a Switch port and that Atlus isn't making a port. He's insinuating that if it's happening, it'd have to be from Nintendo.
Damiani was able to convince Kyle the Monolith Soft hiring for Zelda was Monolith Soft just hiring more people to help assist Nintendo. I'm so proud of him lol.
The last time it happened was when Marcus Sellars gave the right date for an upcoming Direct and insiders didn't want people to think he was reliable because of what was probably pure luck.
Except it's only been two years since BOTW came out. Twilight Princess was released in 2006, while Skyward sword was revealed in 2009 (at least according to Wikipedia), which would be three years in between a release and announcement.
Yeah I understand. You don't want people to think this person really has inside info when they don't and they do shady stuff.
There's never no chance. It's likely that the "insiders" claiming that there is one are false but that doesn't mean that it's impossible that one could happen. They do sometimes just pop up out of nowhere
I'm just trying to speculate based on the Best buy stuff, the WSJ report, the imminent Smash stuff, spring/summer games needing details/dates etc...
I don't see the point in talking about the Bad Leak Blog. The speculation thread was rolling before they jumped in.

I think rather than announcement he means acknowledgement meaning it would only be a quote from a Nintendo higher-up saying "We're working on a new Zelda game" rather than a trailer with gameplay and a title and such
Well, some insiders are sticking by the accuracy of those Best Buy listings, which had Nintendo as the publisher of Persona 5 on Switch. That seems to be exactly how we're going to get the game if it's coming
Doubt. Aside from Catherine on PC (which was handled entirely by SEGA Europe and an external port studio) and Persona 1 and 2, Atlus don't port default versions of their games. If P5 is coming to the Switch, it'll be the re-release handled by themselves.
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks released Between TP and SS, so Damiani is right. Its been over 2 years since Botw released. By E3 it'll be 2 years and a few months. We haven't gone this long from mainline Zelda release to announcement of the next mainline Zelda.
Expecting a Direct Mini within the next fortnight with Joker reveal, Smash Stage Builder, Mario Maker 2 release date and a few small oddities.
