Why the free space in that spot and not the middle?

Welp, I borked it. Gotta fix it

Edit: here!

I will once again get unnecessarily hyped for a Metroid Prime Trilogy HD remake only to have those hopes crushed.

Lol. A little late and maybe someone already responded but the poster in question made a pretty popular thread stating that persona 5 is a goddamn slog.
This. Phantom Theif made a topic about how terrible the pacing it was and such but considers it his top 5? I was so confused. Like, for a game that is such a bad slog, there are games with better pacing.
Anyways, portable P5 would be legit but MAN do they need to cut like fourty hours of the game when a redux version come out.

So just for fun I decided to look at the famous January 2013 Wii U Direct and, damn, it was so slow-paced. Here's the timestamps:

Miiverse Talk 00:56 - 07:40
Wii U Updates and Virtual Console 07:40 - 18:30
Brief Mentions of Spring/Summer Games 18:30 - 18:53
The Wonderful 101 Trailer 18:53 - 20:27
Bayonetta 2 "Trailer" (Only Screenshots) 20:27 - 23:31
Smash Bros Reaffirmation (No Footage) 23:31 - 24:11
New 3D Mario & Mario Kart Announcement (No Footage) 24:11 - 25:02
Wii Party U Discussion 25:02 - 26:56
Yarn Yoshi Announcement (Only Screenshots) 26:56 - 27:53
SMT X Fire Emblem Announcement (No Footage) 27:52 - 29:21
Zelda Wii U Announcement (No Footage) 29:21 - 34:01
Monolith Soft's "X" Announcement 34:01 - 36:06

So you've got literally 18 minutes on console updates, only 3 games with any actual in-game footage, and 6 new game announcements in total. Compare that to today where nearly every game gets footage, there's 1 minute per game, and software stuff is barely talked about, and you'll see why some predictions here are way off-the-mark. Nintendo is never going to go back to the style of those early Directs, and I'm pretty sure they won't for this one.

You can have issues with things you love

There's no way Banjo will be announced for Smash tomorrow, what kind of message would it send to Xbox fans? "Buy a Nintendo Switch if you want some Banjo content!"

I could see Banjo happening in a year as a DLC character, but only if Microsoft announce a new Banjo game. Otherwise, it's not happening.

fake. too much 3ds stuff, casually mentioning GTA among already released games.

Directs have never been leaked before, only live presensations have. Can we please stop posting some bullshit "leaks" from 4ch?

All of that sounds plausible, but we'll see what they actually show. Steve is someone I don't care for, but I know that will get the younger Switch owners super excited for Smash.
Though please place this in a spoiler block because if all of this is true, then this will spoil everything in the direct.
Edit: Right, this is 4chan. Likely fake then.
