Nice, XC3 deserves its own direct since the game is just a month away

 

[Zebesian-X]

Has there been an instance in history a Ninty direct happen around the same time as a big game direct?

Click to shrink...

Yep

 

[SPRidley]

The chances of an actual nintendo direct happening this summer even less now hahaha I mean its that or they actually though talking about this game in a direct was gonna make people angry becuase they prefer to see new games and thats why they are doing it

Thank god i actually like xb3, though i dont know if i want to really know more about it beofre starting playing.

 

[Grain Silo]

Just picked up playing Definitive Edition again last night from when I fell off last year. Beyond excited for 3. Maybe I shouldn't watch this in case there are incidental spoilers for XC1?

[Delaney]

From barely having the first game localized to effectively stealing every other Nintendo franchise spotlight and pissing off the remaining fanbases on E3 month. This is like being a Fire Emblem fan but being able to play my games (not X2) in front of my friends.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

I don't think this means a general direct isn't happening this month. It just means Nintendo thought Xenoblade 3 was big enough to get its own direct. Happy this the 22nd, and therefore happening the day before a leave for my business trip.

 

[Dr. Mario]

I'm super hyped for XC3, but I just want a cool launch trailer, not a 20 minute spoiling of the game itself.

Anyway I don't think this means anything for the purported Direct next week. This XC3 Direct could basically be their E3 treehouse segment.

 

[craven68]

Do we need a direct on xenoblade 3 ? being spoiled 20min, i don't think it's good. Going to skip it haha

 

[Izanagi89]

Hell yeah. Xenoblade being treated as a big franchise and getting the love it so rightfully deserves. July is gonna be crazy with both this and Live-A-Live dropping

I think it'll be more like the Xenoblade 2 Direct, showing off location and gameplay mechanics.
For story yeah it might show upto the mid-game.

Xenoblade X and 2 both had a Direct.

 

[BasilZero]

Two directs in a month, damn.

 

[Neverx]

Outside the character trailer in the original XC2 direct it wasn't really that spoiler-y, who knows what the case here will be like though

 

[Oleander]

Not a full Direct? Man, what a bunch'a jokers.

Still think it's coming next week. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to not grasping the full scope of the battle system despite sitting through a twenty-minute explanation.

 

[Geg]

ITT members of ResetEra forget the difference between the numbers 22 and 29.

Anyway, hell yeah

Play X2 in front of your friends, assert your dominance

 

[Biosnake]

 

[Kromeo]

I'll still potentially buy this but the info I'll need won't come from a Direct, I'm interested to see the feedback from some people that didn't overly like the second game

 

[KTroopA]

lol... we deserve 'it'

 

[Kimbou]

Nice.

Guess XC3 won't be taking a huge chunk of the general Direct then.

 

[YozoraXV]

They're gonna drop the most spoiler filled trailer aren't they

Click to shrink...

Yep, there is no way in 20mins they don't show spoilers.

I will probably just skip it and go in blind.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Guys, this just means fans get their own Direct and it won't take up space in the general Direct for the rest of us.

It's a win-win!

 

[Streusel]

he said this first in late may. pretty good track record

 

[Greywaren]

Cool, really interested to see what they show here.

 

[NioA]

I won't watch it, I feel like they already gave a lot of informations. It's cool though, maybe they will announce something extra, like their dlcs plan or a demo, though I highly doubt about the latter

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

Lovely artwork, I can't wait :O

 

[lunanto]

Couldnt care less.

 

[Charbox]

Keen on this, just hoped I wouldn't have to stay up until 12am in my time zone to watch it 😂

 

[ILikeFeet]

Gives them a lot of time to show off actually new stuff and not hinge on "remember this?"

 

[Lukish]

Awesome. Really looking forward to it

 

[KtotheRoc]

I hope they don't give too much away in this.

 

[Deleted member 93062]

June 29th 🙏

 

[Wedginald]

Ah man, hope for late June direct fading...

I already got this game preordered, just don't need to see anymore of it.

 

[Mengetsu]

 

[NioA]

People should be glad XC3 has its own direct, it means it won't be featured in the general direct that will surely follow

 

[GDGF]

Come on!

 

[MarbledJelly]

a lot of people are assuming we've lost all hope, but this makes a lot of sense to me. we are living in a world where nintendo has a major game release next month but also has splatoon 3 this fall, bayonetta 3 sometime this year, this is the last big "E3 season" before BOTW2, nee pokémon games, a fire emblem game that's been heavily leaked and will likely release this year, and god knows what else. why not do a xenoblade direct a week earlier, and get that out of the way, unless they wanted to do the first hour or longer direct.

 

[Amnixia]

Well so much for insiders and direct predictions I guess? Nobody mentioned an XB3 only direct

 

[Goddo Hando]

 

[Richietto]

On one hand, this means no Xenoblade in a general Direct. On the other, where the general Direct?

 

[mrmickfran]

Yeaahhh fuck no I ain't watching

I'm already day 1, lemme go in as blind as possible.

Let me get some soundtrack samples tho 👀

 

[Hasney]

Nice! Great game to see a Direct and going to be a dry Q3/4 for Nintendo as they save for Switch 2 possibly. All good signs for me.

I like the optimism. If the rumors were corrected, it'd be a week later on the 29th.

 

[Fendoreo1]

Like seriously 75 percent of the game industry have all come out and said general on the 29th, no reason to start doubting that now, I doubt this is what they heard about lol

 

[Tsumami]

YES Xenogods win again

 

[RockmanBN]

I hope they don't give too much away in this.

Click to shrink...

Yeah. Though the biggest thing to avoid will be the final trailer. If it's like Xenoblade 2, it'll be a week before the games launch.

 

[Belphegor]

I sleep. So no actual direct then.

 

[Sir Hound]

I don't know whether there's a general direct on the 29th but I 100% don't believe this rules one out. I actually think it makes it more likely. Having games feature in generals that are just about to release always feels a little frustrating, like we're wasting time better spent on announcements. From the K&K show it sounds like Nintendo is hyper aware about how the directs land with fans. If this is true and they are responding the way we would like them to then you would see exactly this - a high-res direct specifically for the next release and a more general one for future stuff.

 

[ReginaldXIV]

Can't wait. My most anticipated game of 2022 after Elden Ring.

Outside the character trailer in the original XC2 direct it wasn't really that spoiler-y, who knows what the case here will be like though

Click to shrink...

Yeah, assuming they kind of follow same plan as XBC2 I'll skip the trailer portion of this depending on the content and just watch all the gameplay parts
