This place is absolutely comical right now. I swear some people would not be able to go on with life if Nintendo suddenly disappeared.

don't tell people not to care about nintendo games just because you don't
There is zero reason for anyone to be in this thread if they don't care quite a bit about Nintendo games.

Wow Do I really have to explain this?

I am talking about AC here.

I obviously don´t mean "Dictatorial" in a literal way, I mean the attitude of "Play this and or bust" when it is the only release they have incoming and the only game they talk about.
This still imagines a scenario where you are in constant dialogue with Nintendo. They are not giving you this or any directive. You're assigning so much to so little.

No, I understood perfectly. Even so, not having a game that you like doesn't fit under any meaningful description of the word "dictatorial."

Trying to do a Chapter a day. On ch3 at the moment (its the Japanese Pagoda dungeon).

Im really enjoying the gameplay, its super fluid and simple; levelling isnt a chore. Story isnt particulary great but overall good game.
My biggest flaw might honestly be the story, it's very...safe? But the battle system is great, especially as you get more radiant skills, sessions, etc.

you joke but I've been pretty suicidal for non-nintendo reasons, this is just my primary means of distraction never showing up
I hope you're able to get the help you need. I suggest seeing a professional if you haven't, there are likely better things to look forward to that aren't out of your control

So unless there's a Direct the day before Animal Crossing releases (which seems unlikely, but who knows), Nintendo will be in the position where they have no first party (or published) games whatsoever with release dates. Has that ever happened before?

Of course it can happen, but the examples you expose are way too elaborate to me.

English is not my mother tongue and I tend to look for alternate words way when I wrote, so that´s there.

Also, I think my explanation of why I used that word is pretty clear.

You can make fun of me or whatever you want. That doesn´t change Nintendo is doing just horrible right now.

Actually Nintendo is statistically doing very well right now. And come March 20th they'll be doing even better.

Yeah of course. How do you make the mistake of writing that sentence precisely?

"The latest Nintendo Direct announced their exciting collaboration"

I´m sorry but I can´t stand that much bs.

I don't think the GAME text was a fluke, it's too deliberately worded.
But a source says there was no cancelled direct for today either.

Adding these together I imagine the solution is a simple mistake in timing:
Lego and Nintendo teased a vague collaboration today, instructing people to "stay tuned" for info. (Info probably coming in an upcoming Direct)
But following today's tease, someone at GAME thought "oh it's announced, time to put that page up."
I imagine this text was supposed to come after that direct, not after this tease, but mistakenly got posted too early for whatever reason. Simple confusion, or miscommunication.

Just a mixup in timing. But the page was already up, so they edited the text to remove the reference to the Direct that hasn't actually happened yet.

I expect to see this collaboration as a topic in the eventual Direct.
...which I also guess must be soon, considering that this mistake happened. Maybe next couple weeks? This is the first smoke hinting at the fire. Let's see if we find any more smoke soon.

Also, do you want to start again the same debate? Are we all fans supposed to buy and love Animal Crossing just because it is going to sell a lot?

All stocks are down right now in pretty much every industry due to the beervirus. You don't need to like animal crossing, but you can understand why it's a huge deal for Nintendo. Nintendo's and your interests are completely different.

I generally don't like PS4 exclusive games, but I'm not gonna pretend Sony did poorly last gen just cause I don't like their games.

Most fans aren't like "oh my god there is no games with release dates after animal crossing!"
Most just buy games if something interests them and that's it, so this idea that Nintendo is messing up is stupid.

So if anyone cares I'm really intrigued by Baldur's Gate so far but it's definitely pretty dated in a number of ways. At least the loading times are basically non-existent, very refreshing compared to PoE.

The tweet kind of goes against you.

Stocks have fallen in relation to external market pressures but Nintendo has dropped the lowest.

I don't know if the one who made the Jeff Grubb thread is from here, but seriously, read the article first.
He's absolutely speculating...
What proof is there that the Nintendo Direct is happening next week?
I'm not guaranteeing a Nintendo Direct. The publisher hasn't announced it yet, so things could change. And yes, this is absolutely me hedging.
But Nintendo is deep into the process of putting the event together based on what I've heard. The company also updated the Nintendo Direct playlist on its Japanese YouTube account. The last time it did that was a week before the Animal Crossing Direct.

I wouldn't normally read too much into that pattern. Nintendo doesn't behave in a consistent manner that is easy to predict. But this is some circumstantial evidence that lines up with everything else.

Finally, Nintendo needs to communicate its lineup — and not even to its fans.

Just ignore the context that every stock market went down that day due to the OPEC price war and the coronavirus.

Aren't directs put together well in advance?
It's hard to say. No one knows for sure exactly how the sausage is made except Nintendo. If I had to guess I'd say the bulk is done before hand but things are worked on right up until the week of which is why insiders generally don't start saying it'll be on a specific day until it's almost happening because Nintendo themselves don't always know for sure if it'll happen that week until it's almost happening.

I can't believe the top poster in this thread by a factor of two bailed over an avatar bet of all things

I'm not surprised with that. However I'm MORE OF surprised that he was that willing to make another avatar bet with someone after he ran out of SmashERA due to losing the avatar bets. I thought that he would steer away from any avatar bets.

Yuoke bailed. It was an avatar bet with me if the direct was this week or not. He then bailed after nate came in and said there was no direct. He put the thread and me on ignore.

What a flashback. He pulled exactly same things when he lost the bet with SmashERA.
