Are they just not going to talk about Animal Crossing until it's like a month away? 😫

If this means full force new game announcements and such in a general direct, then that's good. Second week in a row with dlc news is a bummer, though, won't lie. Pokemon MDDX doesn't really help.

Well, at least I've been TeamFeb all day long. :p

Because they have 40 minutes of Direct news to go through and they don't want to cram it in with 35 minutes of Smash news?

They have done one of these in-depth Smash videos for every character so far after that character has been revealed in a Direct (or TGAs). If they had a Direct coming soon (i.e. next week) they could reveal the character then and then have this in-depth video a few days later.

I guess Smash fans don't have enough communication about their already released game. Animal Crossing fans can just keep waiting. It's our lot in life.

I still think we could get a main direct next week or at the end of the month. Giving Smash and Pokemon their own space means they'd take up less of a 40 minute or so show.

IIRC Last time they announced the character in a ~2 min trailer during the direct and said "wait till the end of the direct to watch Sakurai explain how the character will play"

Certainly not a fan of not doing a direct now, specially with titles like TMS that have the directs as the only source of big promotions
That game is gonna bomb no matter what.
Like Daemon X Machina, they put that in like 20 Directs and still nobody cared.
I don't think this will crater as hard as that did but it's not gonna sell well regardless of a Direct

If there's a general Direct next week, which will undoubtedly get more eyes on it than a stream for Smash alone, why wouldn't they save the Smash reveal for it?

Any hopes of a more general Direct being imminent died with this announcement, I'm afraid.
Because Sakurai wanted to spend 35mn on a character and Nintendo was tired of arguing with him.

Hey, at least we got a twitter direct from Square Enix with lots of new announcements delays!

We haven't gotten a general direct in the second half of a month in OVER 5 years. General direct for February is all but confirmed at this point

This puts trolling on a new level.
They gave us a video game presentation announcement instead of the video game presentation announcement we wanted, after airing a video game presentation we didn't want
