Is it just wishful thinking that people think one will be announced or has something been said?

If there's no direct this week do we think that means no game in April? seems like they are cutting it a bit close.

Zippo had said there will be two Directs in February. There's an embargo on some AC related stuff/accessories (as mentioned by multiple people itt) that expires on the 20th, so it would make sense to have either a general Direct featuring AC on that date, or an AC focused Direct. If it's the latter, that would leave a general Direct (or some other Direct, but what could it be?) for either this week or the week of the 27th, but Nintendo hasn't done a general Direct in the second half of the month since 2015, so that's why people expect it this week.

Tl;dr: Zippo said two Directs this month, and this week is the only week that makes sense for a general Direct.

Nintendo Directs are very successful marketing tools for Nintendo. They wouldn't wait from September all the way to March for the next one.

If there are really two Directs this month like Zippo claimed then they should start announcing them soon since we are almost halfway through February.

I still don't know why we think something is happening Thursday.

The sprites and UI are better. The fifth case of AA1 uses the touchscreen a bunch since it was developed for the DS (same with AA4 and the AAI games). The Switch port is pretty good, but if you already have the option I'd just go with the originals.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Will do then!

What's up, Nabbit? I owe you a PM response from a long time ago.... just saying. 😬😁

Yep I think it was April or so of last year, I remember writing to you when we were in Tasmania. No worries tho!

And it makes sense. Nintendo has to reveal their schedule from April and beyond. We're 2 months away from April. This is the distance they'd announce Wii U ports. They're not waiting until March to announce April games. Nate has said the first half of 2020 will be good starting from AC.

Essentially not having a direct in february means no april releases.
Considering what Emily said about the lineup, it seems unlikely to me.

We basically know Pikmin 3 or 3D World is coming the first half of 2020. April makes the most sense for whichever is coming. The direct would have to be this month just for that announcement alone

It's gonna be fun being here tomorrow. It either gives us a Direct or a war against insiders goes up.

the darned crogmire or whatever the fuck

I've got about 25 missiles, 4 super missiles, and the charge blaster. I've been told that's enough but ughhh

once I give up on a part I really struggle to pick it back up, too
You just charge beam the mouth to push him back.

Also you should look for more missiles in general.

AC direct on the 20th and then a general direct 5th March is what I'm starting to lean towards seeing as there doesn't seem to be much coming from the usuals about this week. Which would mean if there was an April game it will be be late in April/a casual game. Kind of like the announcement before the release of Labo.

So I heard in the previous pages someone claims that zippo wanted to mean that on the next week could be The Ac Direct and the general direct. Well, since that zippo voted for the 12th-13th on february, there is no doubt that, for him, the nintendo direct will be on 13th, and not later on.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nintendo_direct/20200212/index.html I get this
The page you specified could not be found.

The page you tried to access may have been deleted, changed, or is no longer available.
Sorry to trouble you, but the top of the Nintendo website,
Or please search from the menu at the top.
thats no different than if you put in a fake date. Just means they have nothing yet.
