Do you know what would even be worse than no nintendo direct? A nintendo direct where they specify BotW2 won't be shown beforehand....

Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT5| Hello darkness my old friend...

And Google was bought by Apple. Now all Stadia game prices will we 3x higher.
So in the last 12 hours, Nintendo have announced additional NES & SNES games for Switch Online and dropped a couple of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon trailers. QUICK EDIT: It's the Pokemon Company that have released the trailers actually, so I doubt there's anything there that clues us into Direct or no Direct.
Genuine question: is there a news blackout from Nintendo in the hours before a Direct announcement? I've never really noticed that before, but I know some people take it as significant.
One reason they could be getting this info out now is because it would get lost in a Direct. General Directs feature a lot of different games these days, so it's easy to have information overload. That's one reason why I think we've had the drip-feed of other news last month and before.

Even if i want Zelda BOTW2 to be shown in a Direct, its not gonna happen tho, thats surley E3 Material.
It's not about the Direct, Master. It's something... elsewhere...
Don't know if it's sarcasm, but I can really see BotW2 releasing in 2020.
The first one came out 3 years ago, most of the assets are already there, as well as the engine, why would they need another year?
In my opinion they deserve all the hate they get for spreading misinformation just for clicks and attention.
Edit: I'm sorry, I absolutely meant hate in a good and friendly way, not bad hate! Of course no one deserves hate!

We still have 2 February weeks after this one. Although regular Directs have (to my knowledge) never been in the second half of the month, this is Nintendo we're talking
"Deserving hate"
Dude we are talking about a long 35 minutes trailer for video games. Calm down, take a tea or something.
I'm sorry if it was not clear, I absolutely meant friendly hate and not bad hate. Hate in a good way, what I wanted to say was that I think they should get called out for spreading misinformation.
I'm sorry, it was not meant like really bad hate, it was meant in a more friendly hate. I'm from germany and sometimes I can't express in English what exactly I meant. I definitely didn't meant it in a bad way, but I think they still should get called out for spreading misinformation.
Unrelated to whether Zippo is right or wrong, there's no need to hate on anyone (friendly or unfriendly lmao) just consider who you allow to colour discussion in this thread. If someone gets things wrong, just move on.
I'm sorry, there is no such thing as "friendly hate" or "hate in a good way." Calling someone out =/ hate.
The announcements are always at 11 PM Japan time. The two different possible times are due to daylight saving time. So there's only one chance in 3 hours and 15 minutes
Absolutely. My dream would be, "release late summer", and going in blind.
Since i know that won't happen, i hop the main trailer is not to spoiler heavy. but knowing them, it will be.
The last one was (the great one), and generally trailers have been quite spoiler heavy from gaming companies.
If the game is out really late, or even "next year", i know that i wont be able to wait.
especially since gifs will be everywhere, and i cant just ignore the internet.
Usually people in these OTs are always thirsty for Directs (mainly because of discussion side of it) and under Nintendo Twitters you can find a lot of people nagging about it all the time
This is the only time I've seen this much enormous Thirst for a Direct outside of these two places!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO US NINTENDO?
after AC:NH Nintendo's schedule is literally blank, Come on give us some info

Ehhhh no need to hate or even shun. Inside info on Nintendo giving news about video games isn't THAT serious. Speculation on our hobby should be fun not combative.
Yeah. Name and shame them if they're wrong! /s
If they're wrong, just move on - plans change or sources can be wrong. Anyone who doesn't move on and actually gets upset is an idiot.

Japan does not do daylight saving, we do. Announcements are always on 23:00 japanese time. Do the math.Nintendo of America on Twitter

Well there times where these threads turned into wastelands for a while.
Until people feel like there's hope again.
I still don't really get the difference.
Is it the meat?
By the way, 3 hours left until disappointment.
I literally can't help myself from consuming basically every bit of BoTW content they put out plus watching 1000000 theory videos based off of 1 screenshot.
:(
Doesn't have to be. People don't give Minis enough credit. The 2018 Mini basically confirmed every major game coming in the first half of the year, and a few even beyond that.
