Yeah basically what I was expecting media to play Animal Crossing for previews.
Stealth on Twitter
“Nintendo flew some influencers/media out to San Fran for an event today. Wonder what they saw and how long it will take for us to see it!!!”twitter.com
It probably wont be long till we see what they saw officially because Nintendo knows influences will spill the beans or start tweeting eyes emoji at rumors later today lol
What would get more eyes on Animal Crossing? A General Direct with a new trailer that announces a dedicated direct the following week, or them doing an Animal Crossing Direct first, which might rile up the non-AC fans who really want a direct?
What's the smartest play?
What's the smartest play?
Direct announcement for Thursday on Wednesday, with a trailer for AC and announcing a 20-40 minute AC focused Direct for next week incoming.

I rather have a general direct with no focus but when they show ACNH then I'm hoping they confirm the AC direct for next week.
Nope, General Direct this week and AC Direct next week, media still has to go back home and edit the videos, etc.
I'm thinking the AC Direct for the 20th and media has embargo until the 20th.
I doubt it. General direct this week, Animal Crossing direct last week of this month if I had to guess.
So are we thinking a general direct on Thursday, and an Animal Crossing direct on the 20th (due to the embargo)?
I think it will be general on the 13th and AC on the 20th, which also gives more AC outlets to prepare news/videos (if they just got flown in today).

Not really. They do these events on a game or games to have previews ready for a week or so later. This can lineup more with an AC direct for next week c
I think you meant announcement on Wednesday for General Direct on Thursday, but yeah I agree.
I love y'all, but it feels a little unhealthy to toil over every little word and detail "insiders" or whoever says. Enjoy the hype and build-up. Let the chips fall where they may. There's obviously some fun stuff on the (New) Horizon(s)*. No need to stress over the details so much.
*I obviously don't have any inside info, just couldn't resist the pun.

Man, if it is a AC direct this week(meaning no general for at least another month)...it's not going to be pretty here
General Directs are never on the later half of the month. If we get a AC direct this week, General should be on the first week of March or... just the E3 one.
Preparing myself for not much new info to be shown. They arent gonna blow the cap off of this first quarter of the year without saving the bulk news for E3. At least we'll see a summer title and maybe a fall/holiday title to drive momentum.
Well last year we pretty much knew the whole lineup at the end of the Feb direct.
Everyone predicting a direct is having crow
But seriously, General Direct with Animal Crossing focus is happening this week for sure
It will be a general Direct this week but every game shown is just a spin off of Animal Crossing.
not every year is guaranteed to have the same amount of releases, 2018 lost the momentum 2017 started with and 2019 has been somewhat able to pick up the speed again. We already have a slight expectation of what half of 2020 is, this direct wont be massive all thing considered.
in terms of major first party titles youre absolutely right, we knew pokemon, MM2, Links awakening, luigis mansion (which was revealed the direct before). but thats still not a lot for a single direct.

Maybe some Apple Pie with some fruits on the side like Oranges and Peaches :)
That's true. I guess BOTW 2 is the big wild card here. If it is coming out this year, that is (obviously) a big piece of the puzzle. If not, the whole thing is wide open.
Personally I like saving a surprise or two for E3
Going by previous years, general directs are announced the day before and this year we're expecting them to air on a thursday. As the days go by, I wish more and more for nothing to be announced tomorrow, because that would probably be an AC direct rather than the general one... So strangely, here's hoping Nintendo remains silent tomorrow 9AM EST!
That's what im thinking, like hypothetically speaking if we're looking at the rumored games to be announced we have a 2d metroid (excluding prime 4 and trilogy as those would be revealed released relatively close to each other, paper mario, mario kart, the wii u ports of 3d world and maybe pikmin3, and zelda (if we're lucky). while its a lot to unpack I would still like to think they would hold out off revealing all of those games too soon as it would kill some of the momentum they have for e3.
it wouldnt take anything away from the anticipation or sales of the games releases, but im just not sure if all of these titles are even coming out this year looking back at how 2018-19 have been.
