Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT7| March Madness

Even before the mini direct, I never thought he was referring to E3/June. Like, that's assumed. We've ALL heard about that
It's possible.
You have the pandemic going on but I'm sure investors are not going to be happy with Nintendo trying to make FY targets with next to nothing announced to release this year.
I don't expect anything till June though. I just feel like they wouldn't have wasted their time with a Mini Direct if they had more stuff to show.
Nintendo announced Labo a week after the January Mini Direct. It's true it wasn't a Direct but it was still an announcement for a first party game.
I wouldn't be surprised if this happens again.
Insiders ---> Hinting at announcements coming before June.
Logic and Coronavirus ---> No announcements until June.
Me ---> Confusion.

Ring Fit Adventure was also about a week after the September Direct.
Nah, people are thinking Direct in June and something, maybe a Direct, maybe something else, in April/early May
I want to say it was the 3DS port of Hyrule Warriors, if that counts
Okay so just some sort of announcement next month? A direct in April and in June sounds weird
Basically. It's common sense to know a June direct would come like its had the past decade. So why would Harker be telling us about a June direct that he heard of?
Yeah Nintendo definitely doesn't like to announce ports at E3 so they won't announce Pikmin 3 Deluxe and SM3DWorld Deluxe there.
But then when will they announce them?
A September Direct would be too late.
Kinda a weird strategy to reveal another fighter before even showing off the ARMS rep, but i'm down.
hm, this is weird.
Wonder if John will weigh in again in the next few weeks.
I could possibly see another direct before June...but only if E3 doesn't announce many new games, which has happened before.
it is funny though:
when people wanted the direct here and now, lots of people subtly took shots John Harker with a bunch of "who this", why is he trustworthy, etc stuff
and now that his message could indicate another direct, the perspective has shifted, and he's used as evidence.
not surprised

Well, we do know there will be at least one announcement between the Direct Mini and E3 courtesy of the ever-trustworthy 4chan.
Flipnote is releasing tomorrow apparently.Well, we do know there will be at least one announcement between the Direct Mini and E3 courtesy of the ever-trustworthy 4chan.
Exclusive to NSO.
I didn't think that we would get other one that soon since I'm expecting to see something in June due to Smash Bros x Arms. Let see what we are getting.
WAIT WAIT, ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF VIDEOGAME, or do u mean just a general direct?
To be clear, you expect this in addition to a June pseudo-E3 Direct/event? Three maybe-Directs inside of barely 4 months seems like a lot, unless this April/early May thing is a game-specific Direct or announcement.
(Didn't mean to quote bomb you alongside everyone else all of a sudden.)

Words can not express how happy I am about this. Played it on my cousins DSI a lot when I was a kid. Thought the IP was dead.
Didnt happen often I guess BUT they also didnt every wait until June to reveal their plans for the year. Since 2017, they did all the big reveals before E3 and then used the show to explore them in more detail. This time, everything could happen. Direct before June, or Direct in June, but they'll show their line-up for H2 there and I guess it will contain ports.
I really wonder if publishers including Nintendo will help out the ESA in June. If I were a publisher now and you are still planning for some releases at the end of the year I would take a hard look at the Direct Style of presentation. I'm expecting some strange digital month where publishers show of their games with online presentations and kind of nod that this would be in the E3 show, but due to the crisis this came not to be.
Nintendo's own approach will be fascinating; normally it would be an E3 showfloor including great props, but I still believe they will have a Direct hosted by the Treehouse crew. Gameplay demo's afterwards. Really hoping we'll get to see those this year. Treehouse sold me on both Luigi's Mansion 3 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.

Watching the "Mini" Direct, you could have fooled me if you just didn't have that word anywhere. I quit even thinking on when a Direct would release because of everything happening, was real happy when the "Mini" dropped and was literally a normal Direct. Big January/June type? Nah. But it felt like a full-fledged show for sure.
Highly doubt it. It's a spin-off. I wouldn't expect it to be shown in any hypothetical April or May Directs either.
That would be pretty weird. At the end of the day, XCDE is a pretty faithful remaster of a 10-year old game. It's made some UI improvements, is a lot better looking, and there's an epilogue now, but there's really not much else to address. Definitely not worthy of its own Direct
That'd certainly be something to have months of miscommunication followed by months of lots of communication.
Something to note, one of the leaked Flipnote Studio screenshots has some interesting animations, namely a Skyward Sword character holding a Switch and Luigi with a Cappy-Hat.
It's very likely to happen, but it's probably an HD version of OOT 3D with some added visual effects and different functionality to account for the lack of two screens.
But it'll be that art style.
does the sonic south by south west panel have a replacement date yet
I know it's still April just dream form now
I hope the 2021 game is next gen exclusive would rather not the switch hold it back
and instead the switch get it's own game namely rush 3
the loading speeds ofnps5 and series x be really good for 3d sonic level desighn

Nope. I disagree in every regard. That's great for Animal Crossing fans. Awesome. Don't care. Not interested.
Don't like other people's perspectives? That's your issue.
This year Zelda game is probably Skyward Sword HD then.
Sega is not bold enough to go next-gen only for Sonic so soon
Forces already probably failed to crack 2 million on established platforms
The only important animation in those leaked screenshots is the Chibi-Robo one; it's the only non-EPD franchise featured after all.
