Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT6| OT7 Has Been Rated in Korea

Pretty crazy. I'm trying to keep reminding people that it might not be until next week, but that never works. Hell, it never works between just a Tuesday and a Wednesday, for that matter
They're trying to convince us to watch I Am Not Okay With This on Netflix, which you should all do.
On a scale of 1-100, how crazy will this thread be if the second week of March passes with no Direct?
I'm really fustrated with Nintendo. Before I go on if you disagree that's totally fine this is just my opinion. Nintendo online is awful.. we haven't had a direct in ages. The smash bros DLC has been absolutely awful and where is my doom in super smash.. also animal crossing not having cloud saves is just awful. And don't get me started about the way pokemon has gone down..
Unless Nintendo wants to make an absolutely insanely poor marketing decision, a Direct pretty much has to be before March 20th.
After Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches, there won't be a single Nintendo published Switch game with a finalized release date...
I suppose Nintendo could drop a simple tweet slating Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition for Spring or Summer to buy themselves more time... but yikes.

Not crazy, just moving beyond the jokes and being genuinely concerned about what Nintendo is up to this year.
In spite of all the "insider" reassurance about 2020, things are looking dismal as a Nintendo fan this year. I still believe things are coming, but think their marketing strategy is just awful right now.

Yep :( but he did say Nintendo is Dooomed which I'm hoping is a hint to doom × super smash :)

Literally nothing of note announced or with a release date beyond Animal Crossing, which drops in 3 weeks. It's kind of crazy.
The questions I keep asking myself is:
Am I noticing because I am more engaged with their plans or a want to know their plans more than the average consumer?
Is the average Nintendo player even vaguely aware that something seems amiss with their marketing?
I've been on gaming forums and constantly keeping tabs on Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony since I was 10. I've been at this since 1999. I don't even remember what it was like to be disengaged.
I'm going to say the average person is unaware. People on forums underestimate how little the average consumer knows or cares about video games until they're actually out
Same here. The first game I can remember hearing about releasing in advance was Ocarina of Time when I was 10, and I asked for it for Christmas. I used to go to IGN64 al the time back in the day. Ever since then, I've been more or less pretty engaged in knowing when games are coming out, although I've taken more of an interest in the industry as a whole and more in-depth looks since the Switch came out.
We'll get a Direct before E3. Nintendo does not sleep. They know that they can wait as long as they want with the first big showcase of the year and they're constantly reducing the timeframes between announcement and release of their titles, as the Switch gets more and more successful. I strongly believe in a General Direct this week or next.
True but mhgu was basically made using the lite version. but you catch my drift. Capcom really dissapointed me with all there switch games. Not bc they where bad, but more that it was basically all ps2/ early 360/ps3 ports(or based on a remastered version of that game). Dont get me wrong but if it was a combination of old ports and new stuff i wouldnt complain right now. But basically how they treated the switch the past 3 years lead me to believe that IF the switch gets its own MH game it will basically look cheap especially compared to world. Im basically expecting a mhgen2, that probably heavily uses assets from past(aka pre world) games.
Not for investors. They wouldn't be happy at all when the meeting comes and nintendo has nothing lined up.
To be honest, I genuinely expected the Direct to be in February or even January for two reasons:
1. As far as I remember, there isn't a single first party game with a known release date beyond March 20th (AC). The games we know about are either TBD (Zelda, Metroid) or slated for a generic 2020 (Xenoblade).
2. It's now been 6 months since the last general Direct, E3 is only in 3 months.
Mind you, there's no hurry for me. But having so little information about any upcoming first party game feels unusual.

I agree with most of what you said here, also pretty disappointed with switch era Nintendo as a whole. But the smash dlc was amazing aside from byleth
I was thinking the same thing, only really been on forums the past few years but I read gaming magazines religiously when I was young. I cant think of a time when I didn't know about a game coming out (I was interested in) at least 6 months beforehand.
The average Nintendo consumer would be the younger/casual gamer so they wouldn't necessarily have that pathological hunger for news.
Then again the madness isn't contained on forums alone; YouTube and social media get their fair share. I'd say we make a lot of noise but comparatively there aren't many of us.
Just wanna tell everyone that I beat Bayonetta 2 in one sitting today, so Bayonetta 3 info in the next direct is 100% going down.

If I show them my posts in this thread I might be exempted due to insanity.
you really think Nintendo doesn't have anything to announce before June? Remember that they announce all the big stuff before E3. Chill out, Nintendo will show us their plans for the future soon.
this. People think that Nintendo stopped producing games for some reason. At the time when they're probably having more projects for Switch than ever.
