Yes! Glad this game is getting the marketing it deserves.
Nintendo is pushing this game hard now, wouldn't surprise me if it still showed up the general Direct.
Super bummed that this is the Direct we're getting.. especially at that length. Means it's really going to be entirely focused on it (which is fair given the circumstances). The idea of Nintendo just not doing a general E3-esque update at this time of year though is gutting.
I dont think any xc3 trailer is safe to watch while in the middle of playing either xc1 or xc2. The very first trailer had a few spoilers already
i agree! and as i said in my previous post here, a general direct this month would logically be a big one for nintendo. if you have 20 minutes to show of your game releasing next month, but also have like 5 other games to show, it doesn't make sense to put them in the same presentation. especially if you're nintendo and habe never had a director trust was over 45ish minutes iirc.
That also means, the predicted June 29 general Direct won't have 20 minutes of XB3 being the filler content of that Direct, which is great news for me.
Oh cool, I did not know about a June 29th one. I thought June 22nd was in line with the timeline that had been mentioned before. This would be the best of both worlds then.
Have they ever done it where they've announced the game-specific Direct first? At least the times I can think of have been announcing the game-specific Direct during the general Direct.
A July direct is a little too close to their usual September direct. I don't see 2 General directs being 2 months apart
There was a Pokémon direct a week before the general one a couple years back, although I'm not sure if it was announced BEFORE the general one was. Nintendo typically gives more heads up with their June directs
Yeah, a focused Direct followed by a general one isn't exactly an uncommon practice for Nintendo.
I'm happy with this if it means less of them having to explain the intricacies of a new animu open world RPG during a general Direct. More time for other stuff!
Just finished XBC2 last night and it was quite an underwhelmed, especially the final boss was kinda has lost its pilot. (No pun intended)
Hopefully 3 is better than 2. And yes, i'm currently playing Torna atm.

If that's true I'm not opposed to it in theory, but it kinda feels like it'd make more sense to do the general first and then the in depth ones after as announcements during the general.
Well shit, if this isn't the definition of bittersweet. Can't wait to see more of Xenoblade but hopefully there's a general direct soon after!
It got hinted yesterday by an insider and more or less confirmed by someone who knows stuff.
What's left to show lol? From visiting the Xenoblade 3 thread I feel like most posters already have the entire game figured out. I've been avoiding info actually, feels like I know enough/too much
That's why you don't. Just wait for it and if it happens it happens.
Ok, this is all I needed to hear. No interest in XC3, but hope for a general Direct on the 29th remains alive.
So I don't know that this strengthens or awakens the argument for the rumoured general direct on the 29th, but it does make sense to have this showcase separate, I would think they'd want the spotlight to be on a game that's about to release, this are giving it a private one, also Nintendo has proven in the past to be quite aware of expectations regarding directs so no doubt they'll of factored that in to any plans for their next "general"
