Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT5| Hello darkness my old friend...
- Thread starter Meelow
- Start date

They did an event for fitness boxing so it very well could be PMD event.
Guys, it's simple: there's clearly something happening this week. If Animal Crossing Direct, it will be announced today. If General Direct, it will be announced tomorrow.
if we don't get anything today, changes for the general Direct are very high. Still sticking to what Zippo said about two directs this month.

I dunno, it's a remake of a Pokemon spin-off, of course it's going to sell well enough (it's Pokemon after all), but I don't see them summoning influencers to market a game they announced during a presentation that was far more focused on DLC.
Yeah it's not joke. It's not fun going against your sleep. I manage. I try to get as much rest during the day.
Right in our heads because of last year we thought February 13 would kind of be the "end date" so its made it a little easier. If there's no direct though well...all heck is breaking loose lol
It was bad timing for sure lol
I think he's talking about the influencer event. It's probably just for Mystery Dungeon and nothing more. Nothing related to this weeks direct
While it's a Pokémon game, it's a remake of a spin-off, would Nintendo really host a press event like this for a PMD game?
While everything can be, I don't really think that would be needed. If anything, I'd see it more likely to be about XC1 honestly.
If not for Nate, though, I would have bet it was for AC.
Well, I guess we're finding out soon anyway.

This. That influencer thing is just Mystery Dungeon so who cares. We're all here for the Nintendo direct and to see brand new games coming.
Uh, so did anything happen? I checked all the insiders' posts and nothing strikes me as particularly noteworthy from their side, and yet this thread jumped like 18 pages in 2 hours or so lol.
tbh the one before the E3 Smash direct was very warranted
Makes sense, either way I don't see Nintendo doing a preview event for a big announcement (it's easier to leak this way), but I'm surprised they're doing a event for a small remake.
I was in the trenches for the early 2018 bloodbath, I have seen it all. Still, bursts like this when America sleeps typically don't happen unless some people interpret something as a big deal (I guess that's what happened with the influencer invitations?).
Doing it regularly hurts your social life, but generally makes it way easier to have a regular sleep schedule.
Night shifts mixed with day shifts is murder on your sleep schedule and still kills ~30% of your social life.
I feel like today would've been a quiet day around the usual 6 am Pacific time, but Mandy Candy ignited a flame for a possible announcement today
Yeah, let's not waste our ennergy on that PMD event. We need to focus on what that matters : that sweet Direct announcement !!!!
The main reason we think a direct is happening on the 20th for AC is because the poster who said a company had to take AC images down was for an embargo until the 20th.
I don't know if there has to be a direct that day. Maybe Nintendo just wanted it to be the 20th for some AC images and they're doing the AC direct on the 27th. I wouldn't necessarily rule out February 27th.

Jeez, this Direct ain't ever happening, is it? How long have these threads been going for? I lost count.
Doesn't a clock just, like, uh, ehm, tick? Resetting would put it on the wrong time.
I am so hyped for both general and AC Directs but I hope general is first. The AC Direct would be all doom and gloom here otherwise so that would be sad. Also I need to get excited for after AC (even if AC is the biggest switch release ever for me)
Yeah if the AC Direct were to come first there'd be so much complaining. General first then AC second makes everyone happy. I think most of us expect AC to show up in the general direct anyways.
There's still fours left until you can do that.
If you do it now your clock will be off by a few hours.
If there is a Direct this week:
- announcement today: Animal Crossing
- announcement tomorrow: General Direct
- announcement today: Animal Crossing
- announcement tomorrow: General Direct
This thread jumping 18 pages means nothing happened. There's been 5 OTs for no news.
you still don't tweet out announcements without anyone present in the office for questions. normally at least. if there's a direct i think it will get announced tomorrow.
Yeah, this is the main thing. The event was a nice to know thing, but putting that aside, the potential Direct is much more exciting.
I mean, I won't pretend to know how Nintendo runs things, but a lot of companies actually do. Plus, when you have offices different places in the world, you don't necessarily schedule posts like that around the holiday of one of them.
Not saying that it couldn't be a factor, just saying that it doesn't erase the possibility of an announcement (if a Direct is indeed coming Wednesday)
National Foundation Day (the February 11th holiday in Japan) ends in 5 hours, when midnight strikes for February 12th. There is no reason a Nintendo Direct announcement can't happen at 7AM PST/10AM EST.
Not always. In 2017, all the Directs were announced an hour later than that, at the time I'm proposing.
