There's two possibilities:
1) It was meant to be announced in a Direct, but said Direct didn't happen.
2) The Direct is going to happen soon and Game slipped.

Or, I guess
3) Freudian slip/typo

I'm going with #1. It's in past tense, "The latest Nintendo Direct announced...".

Sounds like this was originally scheduled for a Direct that didn't happen, so they announced it on Twitter, but didn't change the text on this website.

If they we're going to announce the rest of the details about this Lego Mario thing today why make a teaser site is my thinking. Announcing a Nintendo Direct for thursday featuring information on Lego Mario would make more sense for making a teaser website

Sounds like the Direct got cancelled, and they have been releasing news through other channels.
So yeah, Nintendo cancelled their Direct to do twitter announcements instead.

This doesn't really make any sense. That teaser would have been really, really weird to suddenly come out of nowhere in a Direct and Lego themselves always posts these kinds of teasers before announcing a new collab. It's very similar to, for example, this one they did for the Stranger Things set:



As such the idea that this would be a Direct announcement and nothing else seems kind of far-fetched.

Subnautica never made it to Switch and the ship has probably sailed (hin hin hin), but I would very much like to be proven wrong.
And talking about sailing ships, the only thing that I wish from Microsoft would be a Switch version of Sea of Thieves.

Wouldn't the General Direct announcement happen tomorrow anyway? Or would MAR10 Day mess with that?

I'm still gonna err on the side of there's no direct until I see it announced with my own two eyes.

Can't believe they're making an entire game out of Mario Land 2's Mario Zone, but I'm on board.

I think whoever wrote the text wants a Direct as badly as we do and wrote "Direct" instead of tweet.

Good old freudian slip, happens to the best of us.

The actual plot they have laid out for the main quest is very "take it or leave it", but the structure is dope. They also came up with a truckload of guild options.

Their channel is all about lore and RP builds and it shows in their vid.

I have actually made a thread about it summarizing some of it in bullet-points:
www.resetera.com

FudgeMuppet made a 2-hour long ideal TES VI video (supposing it's set in Hammerfell)

FudgeMuppet is a YouTube channel of two (I think) guys dedicated to The Elder Scrolls and Fallout lore and build videos. They've also been brainstorming their own ideas for an "ideal" TES VI, going as far as making a ten-part video series of things and mechanics they'd like to see in it. Lately...
Their guilds sound super dope. Excited to hear their mechanics ideas. Will definitely listen to it later today, thanks.
