Venturebeat: 'No Nintendo Direct planned for June due to work-from-home hurdles'
- Thread starter MrConbon210

Surely people will understand why this is happening and not act like entitled children, right?
And surely people are going to think more than half a second before posting and realize that no direct doesn't mean no announcements at all, right?

Fair enough if true. I guess they'll continue with Twitter announcements and see where the economy is a few months from now.
Of course they won't. Meltdown imminent. Especially considering that this would have been the E3 Direct.
i'm surprisingly fine with this :)
edit: and of course it's completely understandable why they can't really put together a great direct when everyone has to work from home.

We just need to accept that - times are trying. I do wonder though what that means in terms of planned releases? Will they be released anyway with less marketing? Or is their whole schedule of events just being pushed forward?
That's fine with me. I'm not expecting one 'till August. Expecting one for May isn't worth the time, tears, or torn out hair.
Ah so you are new to the internet then!
The decision is understandable!
Bummer but understandable.
I imagine it would be prohibitively expensive to try and film something like this remotely while still adhering to social distancing practices. I imagine we may still get some trailers here and there.

Im guessing they wont have much, if anything in the way of first party games for the rest of this year. Maybe mario still comes out, but if i were to guess id say paper mario and any other "big" first party releases got pushed to next year

Let's also ignore the fact that other companies are still holding digital events and announcing games.
No criticism of Nintendo allowed!
I have already read the phrase "the covid excuse" in this forum several times.
Totally understand why. Sucks but I get it, there's more important things to worry about.
It will still feel weird without an E3 or E3-like event this year though.

You're funny, do you write your own material?
Man, I wonder how they plan to announce all these Mario things if there's no June major event... running out of time if it's post-June?
I guess they like to "shadow drop" things, but it seems like you'd want a whole "thing" to surround this. COVID19 really fucking everything up, everywhere.
it's pretty fucked up you should look into it
