I said I didn't care if he was wrong or right but now that I've spent time in the thread I've caught the hype disease and I hope he's right. I still think it's rich to tell people not to put weight on your words when you're the one who put them out there for people to do so, but I was sitting here and I realize there are several things I would really like Nintendo to do and now that I've got the disease one of the symptoms is arbitrarily deciding I'm going to be disappointed if they don't announce the next 3D Mario. :/

Hmm. I'd pay an unreasonable sum to eavesdrop on the meetings within Nintendo about their Direct planning. It's seriously starting to get massively awkward, imo.



I jokingly have to ask: Is this your first day here? ;D

You put too much trust in this memberbase. ^^

Lol, I'm a closet optimist IRL and sometimes it's patently apparent on the net. :P

Honestly after so many times where they've been wrong I just can't believe insiders anymore when it comes to Directs and stuff like Metroid Prime Trilogy. I'll still take their posts into account, especially if it's a major news source, but I'm done with automatically believing them and that goes for both believing that they're going to be right and believing that "plans must have changed," if they're wrong.

I don't think they're lying, however. That attributes maliciousness to cases where there is very likely none. There are many, many reasons that a person can be wrong about something before it goes to "they intentionally lied for attention."

I have nothing to contribute about a Direct happening, just wanted to help shift some of the gloom! I invited some friends to play hide & seek with me within AC the other day, it was a ton of fun
Oh........then dude, off topic posting. I'm sorry but we're going to have to ban you. The Direct Speculations threads are very serious business. :(

Do you smack each other with the net once you're found? My roommates and I all have Switches and we've taken to playing tag. I hide behind trees and strike like some sort of bipedal tarantula.

I am 32 years old and this is the life I choose to lead.

The moment I woke up and noticed nothing had been announced I kinda lost hope for one this month :l . It's interesting that VB is still saying the 26th though, I know it's happened before but I just have a hard time believing they'd announce a direct in the evening

People need to stop taking anyone at their word who claims to know things. Results should be the real barrometer of which insiders to listen to. I think there are alot of people out their taking advantage of folks desire for news by connecting imaginary dots for 15 minutes of fame. leaking things is risky, peoples jobs are at stake, it shouldnt be done hap hazardly.

If Jeff double-triple downed on the 26th, I'll believe it, even though it makes no sense to me anymore.

If it doesn't happen, well...
