This is nothing compared to the announcement that "Pokemon Stars" was actually Ultra Sun / Moon and also on 3DS rather than Switch.

That was probably the worst meltdown I've seen on this forum.

I spent all of 2020 wanting for Xbox Series X/PS5 news, now that I've got the majority of it outside of price, I'm starting to feel the stress of non 2020 Direct so far with my fellow Nintendo fans lol. Hopefully we get one soon. I'd think they'd have one this month for April-Aug, and then E3-ish one for Fall/Holiday 2020 with minor 2021 teases.

Grubb still seems very confident, maybe I'm grabing at straws but that's giving me a little hope it's just going to be a weird announcement time (maybe 11pm CET like AC, and a Direct on Friday?).

Zaragoza, Spain.
Things are not always what they seem, plans can change and people loves to jump into conclusions and be rude against the people in the knows. I can't understand how are they so patient with this, ever and ever again.

If anybody wants to grasp at these straws. 8 PM in France should be 3.5 hours from now.
8 PM would be such a weird time, the only reasonable timing would be 11PM since usually general Directs air at that time, thus giving a 24h heads-up, still don't expect anything or you'll be disappointed

I've said this several times over the past month without too much traction, the virus has messed everything up. Even if production/development was not a problem, you have a workforce out of work that needs money to buy games. Yes, Animal Crossing did well but people think the virus is a joke still and when the situation gets a bit more dire, people won't be buying games off the shelves anymore, heck, there may not be any shelves to buy games off with store closures and they will need to rely on Amazon/UPS/etc.

Two options here:
1. There's still going to be a Direct, either a shadowdropped Mini or a weird announcement time
2. The Direct planned for March 26 was internally delayed at the eleventh hour. Too many credible people are backing this, so let's not go crucifying someone if there isn't a Direct this week


but I have the cross ready to go and everything

Sometimes I wonder if people in this thread are living under a rock otherwise I can't explain all the "who" questions. I mean I don't know every person on this planet either but someone who frequents this site often should be familiar with Dr. Serkan Toto. And even if you don't know him you can always check that person's bio on Twitter lol.
My head is straight into video games constantly. I read era for hours and spend a ton of my internet time on this site. I have never heard of or seen the name Serkan Toto until I read your post.

I've got some of the same sources as VB. Now getting word that the Direct is the first week of April.

At this point I'll take it. Just give us something to look forward to in Q1.

Heh, while I would gladly take a Mini as well, it's hard to think that after 6 months since the last general Direct they'd do a Mini.
But who knows. I'm not losing hope, it's just too weird that there hasn't been announcements for 2020, both dates for things we already know about and new stuff.

Do you frequent Nintendo financial threads? I haven't lately but at least in the past he'd be mentioned frequently IIRC

Screw it, I'm riding this train for the rest of today, at least. Enough people in the know are still acting confident about March. If it's 1st week, of April, so be it. But man, after that, I'm really going to be impatient.
