Nintendo's tweet:
"Wow! These are our Twitter Accounts. Did you know that we tweet from them?"
It was a great era for JRPGs(and games in general).
There was very weird narrative around Japanese devs vs Western devs, and JP devs "westernising" their games.
Direct has to be either this or next week. It can't be in the week of TGS. That would give third party developers zero time to schedule announced games. The Japanese holiday next week does not matter if they announce the direct on a earlier day. Just like the direct doesn't have to be on a Wednesday. Even last year we had multiple smaller directs and a Mario direct. Would be really strange if there wasn't one this year
Which days next week are possible for the Direct in both the U.S. and Japan?
DAMN I got so hyped for a second
Beat me to posting this meme lmao
does anyone know what the joycon update does or did this time around? i just updated mine but i'm in the dark
It's a joke video using sound from the first trailer either way.
I don't think we're expecting it today, and, if we were, it would be in an hour and 16 minutes.
We're not expecting one this week at all, but if it was going to happen, it'd be an 1 hour and 17 minutes.
I'm unsure because of timezones and daylight savings, but isn't it 1 hour and116 minutes now?

Yeah, me too, especially after the last few trailers.
I was hyped before but the gameplay, abilities and spoilers in those really sold me on it, even if it would probably be cooler seeing them ingame for the first time.
I don't think I'm strong enough to go radio silent like you.
October 7th is close enough to September I'd be willing to allow it
That's not an option since it's after TGS. Japanese third party always use the September direct to announce things
Definitely very unique time, both in good and bad ways. I'm not sure I wanna go back but there's a lot that I miss from that era.
I mean, FF13 is the COD of Final Fantasys. Or at least that's what they told me.
Read the Oatmeal Dome 13.0.0 datamine.
SBC codec, even if your AirPods or any headset use a better AAC or AptX it will default to the lower quality SBC.
Really hope they can improve this in the future Switch Succ.
Has anyone been able to better explain the purpose of updating the dock outside of it being limited to use with the OLED Switch? I really hope this means that it is more of a substantial upgrade than is being let on with HDMI 2.0 and some eventual streaming apps THAT WOULD BE GREAT TO ANNOUNCE IN A DIRECT, NINTENDO.

Seeing all their Metroid tweets: yeah, that's the good shit!
Looking at the Spacelords tweets: yeah, that looks like shit! (I'm sorry, Mercury Steam)
honestly i thought they gave up on that game a long time ago. surprised to see they're still pushing it.
you mean you don't live for chaos?This will end in a whack-ass mini/partner direct, won't it?
I swear, this company sometimes...
I'm definitely expecting something today.

Is AAC hardware-agnostic? Because I don't see Nintendo use/license Qualcomm hardware and codecs for aptX support.
I highly doubt Nintendo will drop previews for Super Monkey Ball and Dread today. I have no idea when we'll be seeing previews for the latter. Has there ever been a case where Nintendo drops previews for two separate games on two different days of the same week (i.e. today and tomorrow)?
Super Monkey Ball is Sega's game, though? Unless I misunderstand the issue.

To be honest, most people will not be able to tell the difference between SBC and higher quality codecs. Moreover, apparently outside of Apple devices AAC doesn't really provide much improvement, so what would they use?
Oh yeah, I'm not trying to imply that they're both first party titles or anything. Just that I feel like competing for mindshare would be difficult for Super Monkey Ball if it's dropping previews alongside Dread.
On a positive note, my buddy is traveling up to my area this weekend with his 3DS and Samus Returns so I can borrow it and experience it for the first time before Fusion and Dread. Can't wait to knock out 3 Metroid games within the next 1.5 months haha
I feel like even this year we saw a embargos lift for multiple games on the same day, can't think of any specific examples tho, but ik TGAA was a part of one of them
