Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT7| March Madness

It could be announced tomorrow morning for the afternoon still. Maybe Nintendo doesn't feel the need to announce it 32 hours out since most people are quarantined at home. I still don't see it being shadowdropped.
Or plans changed.

The first two MUA3 expansions went live 00-03 AM CET. If the third one, the most important one which features new story content isn't up by today's morning (Europe) it could be a shadowdrop after a trailer in the Direct.
They're not going to drop an entire damn direct unannounced. This doesn't sound like Nintendo at all.
Just let it go. Even if the sources were legit it's more probable that it got pushed back because reasons. It's more than likely that some kind of announcement will come soon and we'll get our direct eventually

*Sigh*
I'm starting to get really sick of seeing Animal Crossing.
Yeah and the fact that it's not only him that was/is confident has me pretty confident too.
If Nintendo decided last minute to scrap it they would have had to tell whatever third parties that were going to be in it, and I don't see any way that would have happened today when those people were expecting it tomorrow.
Like, what is the latest they could possibly decide to delay/cancel the Direct without massively pissing off the third party studios/publishers who have announcements in the Direct?
You don't have to explain the "humour" in that statement to me. I'm also pretty disappointed you'd go bat for a shitty meme that's been used time and time again to mock the people that keep getting harassed every time they decide to share something with this community yet here we are.
It also could very well have been delayed even after he heard from his sources yesterday. I mean, there's a global pandemic going on. That can easily cause plans to heavily change for a lot of the developers who would have announcements in this Direct.
It's possible he hasn't received any updates from his sources. I have no doubt he received information that was credible...at one time.
I see, I was mostly working from the Australian listings as they had the most detailed breakdown by Dev / Pub / Applicant. I thought it might have had to do something with distribution, but a search on the PEGI website for some of the other titles Nintendo distributed were under their respective publisher names. You're right that the earnings releases would be the definitive place to look. I had completely forgotten about those.
However, we do know Marvelous is involved to some degree as the official website is hosted on the marv.jp domain and they put out a statement for release around the TGA trailer for NMHIII's 2020 release. The only way I see them not publishing the Switch version in Japan is if they're publishing the potential PS4/PC versions and they'll all share the same website like TSA, although I imagine the PS4 physical run axed this time around.
That said while Nintendo isn't publishing like they are with BD2, I don't think it'd be right to lump NMH in with other 3rd party games. We know that Nintendo requested changes to some of the cutscenes in TSA and it received plenty of Nintendo content and I think it's safe to say that III is going to see a larger marketing push from them. I'd wager Nintendo wants it to fill that similar stylish action game that Astral Chain did last year.
I was going to say that until I remember damn it's a ghost town-ish outside T_T
He got another update as of March 24th (yesterday). So things would have changed in the last 2 days
Almost had a heart attack thinking it was a direct announcement lol.
But goddamn
Tweeting late and at non-o'clock hours.
We can't rule out the possibility of them announcing the Direct late at night today(like the announcement of the NX trailer) or announcing the Direct tomorrow morning for tomorrow afternoon or night.
You could just play the games that are already out or something.
You can't eat video games and that's why they'll never reach their potential
I made this awesome purple maple birthday cake for my wife's birthday with my toddler's help but I never actually wrote down the recipe.
It was hella moist.
Oh boy, I was hoping you were still certain. The apocalypse is upon us. March madness ensues.
Point in case is that Twitch, Youtube and pretty much any other streaming service out there has had problems or took precautions because of the crisis. So I could see Nintendo being sensible to that, as it is to their best interest that we watch the Direct on the highest quality possible and without crashing the streams
Also, it's our only chance for a March Direct now, so leave me to my confirmation bias
I don't really like to sit here and theorize over something we have basically no concrete information about, but since I'm here anyway:
Is it possible this isn't a Direct at all, but some sort of new kind of video presentation? Similar to how Indie Worlds were spun off into their own thing instead of being "Nindies Directs." Perhaps a video showcase focusing on 3rd Parties or something like that?

I don't think the "mockery" is that severe or serious, but I've been wrong in my perception of insider etiquette before. I'll reconsider my jokes
I hope Jeff isn't going to learn the hard way that the Nintendo "insider" ecosystem is made up of a lot of people who don't actually have any sources of their own, only people they take to who might have sources, and sometimes rumours or "leaks" spread around and make it sound like they're coming from multiple people but actually only came from one and ended up doing the rounds as everyone talked.
Nah
Unless it's a super short direct, they announce with some time before.
The bigger the direct, the longer the difference between announcement and the day itself.
