ngl, this thread is the definition of "doing too much" .....but as long the community enjoys it and you keep your expectations in check, i hope you guys keep it up.
It was a survey for Japan, and it got shared in western places like here, so yeah they probably got way too many answers.

As if the past surveys werent shared on western places.

In the past less people had the systems they were asking for (Switch) and many thought some ports would be no-brainers (P5 for Switch), so there was less incentive to even participate. 3 years later things have changed lol.

I actually had a dream about the Direct last night. Perhaps a sign of madness lol.

What was interesting was that the Direct only lasted 10 minutes and Nintendo stated they'd be airing the rest of the Direct across the remainder of the week, dividing them into 4 10 minute chunks.

Nintendo also released an addictive new eShop minigame for free and you had to complete it in order to view the Direct, leading to mass hysteria.
Lol I actually dreamt about the direct too. I thought it was real for a good moment. It started with a MK9 announcement and I was like why!!! That's a waste. Then there was other games and near the end we got Bayonetta 3 and paper mario. That's all I remember lol.

There's a demo of Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet on the eshop. It's a good game? Not a fan but I'll give it a chance.

Surely any direct will just be pure animal crossing?

In either this or the next direct I would love the following:

Zelda TTP/WW port collection
More info on BOTW2
Doom Eternal gameplay footage
Mario Strikers (absolute long shot BUT imo it's coming after what is essentially a play test in Mario and Sonic..)
Some more details on Pokémon DLC

not too much to ask..

Any reason we're expecting the Direct to be Thursday rather than Wednesday? I'm not up to date on things.

Just save yourself the heartache. If the direct is this week it'll be on Thursday afternoon-ish and announced Wednesday morning in NA time.

Nintendo is alternating Wednesday and Thursday every year. Last year was Wednesdays, year before was Thursdays repeatedly since directs have started. Exceptions being game specific directs and E3. Pokemon and Smash announcement last month were Thursdays.

I think by this time last week we already knew it was not going to happen. If this is not the week we feast, I would rather know sooner than later.

No not really... fullforce Direct Baby, but i will take anything at this point.
No.

Most hardcore Nintendo fans have already played those years ago.

They don't need a Direct to announce two ports.
Did you get a branch on your head in the storm? That is the only reason I can explain that you talk so much nonsense haha

damn, Nintendo fans are greedy af
