Maybe not, but there are people on the internet who are assholes. Many of which reside in the US and look closely for any slights againt the US.
Yes, but I doubt Nintendo is concerned about a small group of internet assholes moaning and groaning.

If the Direct comes out and says "whoa check out our new hurricane simulator!" then that's one thing. Simply announcing something while there's a strong (and expected) storm isn't worth ire.

I can finally go back to Okami HD. I'm heading for the Water Dragon right now. Any chance I can finish this before Torna hits?

Considering how much Nintendo Life knows, should i get Alex predictions more seriously? He said we may see Retro's new game here.



To know the air date of a Direct, it's not the same thing as to know what's the content in this presentation.

There are a lot of insider sources that you can use to know the exact air date of a Direct. For example, a third party partner featured in the video, that will plan to start its marketing campaign or pre-orders just after the Direct, and even retailers. Tthird party partners featured in the video, and even some retailers, can know the exact date without working in Nintendo.

Plus, these type of video predictions, are created to generate clicks. So it's important to speculate about every dreamed or rumored game by your audience.

Angola / Zaire border region.
I don't mean to be insensitive with this but if they do show it on Thursday just as an extremely powerful hurricane is hitting the US they are likely going to see some backlash. They delayed it for a disaster in Japan (and sane, reasonable people understand why) but will likely not delay it when a disaster hits the US.

Again it's understandable to those who know that the company's employees likely have many friends and family who were affected by the quake but not everyone will consider that.
I can't really see this happening.

Nice, even if it's a shame it's just one week later hour by hour.
I'm curious why people are teasing embargoed information



I'm personally not embargoed, with that said I'm not comfortable with the idea of reporting on it

To all the guys praising NintendoLife:

Unlike the others who received embargoed information, they teased/announced embargoed shit and pretended to say "rumour".
I'm sorry but this just made me laugh too much to see that after reading this exchange:

Still gotta report on news regardless if I agree with it. I just wouldn't first hand report on it if their source is what I think it is.

People not wanting Smash Bros in General Direct apparently don't understand how marketing works. It's one of their biggest game for this year and asking them to not market the game sounds incredibly petty or stupid.

I dont think they will announce Starfox before Starlink releases, would be such a bad move. I'm pretty sure they will tease either Pikmin or Animal Crossing, they look like 2019 spring games to me.

Yeah I don't see Starfox now.

I WANT STAR FOX TO BE THERE AND BE SO GLORIOUS, ALL WHO SAID RETRO WAS IN TROUBLE CRY IN SHAME AND FILM THEMSELVES IN STAR FOX FURSUITS AS AN ACT OF REGRET.

Lol we may have to wait a little longer for Retro's game.
