After reading this, it seems absolutely ridiculous for them to do anything other an announce the direct's permanent cancellation. Anything less would be disrespectful to the hurricane victims and their families.
Well be prepared, because they're probably not gonna. And they shouldn't have to.

This hurricane has been expected and people have been evacuating for a couple days. It's not the same situation as the earthquake at all, and Nintendo shouldn't be expected to keep putting everything on hold for it.

Okay after listening to this song I'm onboard the Karate Joe train. This song is a total jam.

I've seen this sentiment multiple times now, but have some of you just never even bothered to listen to the RH soundtrack? It's fucking incredible. People are absolutely missing out on the series and it's insane to me that Nintendo fans continue to have an apathy to something so incredibly good.

I have so many favorites and I would love to see an uptempo Latin remix of Glee Club in Smash, but for now I'll share this underappreciated gem:

You know what? Mary O would be cool. Just because I've seen no two pitches for her moveset that look the same.

And Sakurai knows how to come up with cool movesets in weird situations.

Okay I'm not a fan of the logic of "we haven't seen X so they must be saving it for Y" that we all got caught up in buuuuut... there has to be a reason nothing Rhythm Heaven related has been revealed... right?

Right?

Please?

To those saying that Nintendo shouldn't permanently cancel the direct out of respect for the victims of the hurricane and their families: I question your priorities.

A precedent has been set: Directs get cancelled due to natural disasters out of respect. I trust Nintendo will do the right thing and cancel, or at the very least further delay, out of respect for the people who's homes are about to wash away.

Right?! So many fun possibilities. Creating Sumer Mario assets out of nowhere to crush the competition.

Her costumes could even dictate which game the assets are coming from!

Animal Acrobat is okay but the sequel is the best new non-remix song in Megamix:

Is this a cybersai alt? The way you randomly post the same thing over and over and are pretty transparent about your concern trolling is very reminiscent of him.

Honestly, Sakurai's latest Famitsu column talked about issues securing rights to use music in the game, and I wonder if that's what's holding Rhythm Heaven back. Masami Yone is responsible for my beloved Monkey Watch and a handful of other great tunes, but most of the really iconic ones are done by Tsunku. His compositions really define the series, and I wonder if Sakurai doesn't want to include an RH rep without Tsunku's music :(

I am absolutely not saying whether it should or shouldn't, but I think the respose to the Hokkaido earthquake and landslides had a lot more to do with the surprise nature of the disaster considering they've aired these during disasters previously.

I could easily see them just scrapping the direct and releasing the announcements on their own though, even if the Direct Thread Dwellers would find that outrageous.

Even if Nintendo continues to hold off on the Direct for another week due to the incoming hurricane (note that they have not officially confirmed that the Direct is back on for this week), why couldn't they just delay it further? Why would it be morally better to cancel it entirely than to delay it? Or what if they do broadcast it this week, but with the game containing subject matter sensitive to the issue of natural disasters (some were suggesting it's Cities: Skylines?) either cut back in presentation or excised entirely?

People of course should prioritize their own safety, and show respect for disaster victims. But I think it's a little extreme to question the priorities of those that would be OK with the Direct airing this week based on what little we actually know about the content, or whether it's indeed coming this week at all.

You have to be trolling at this point.

All the companies are not just going to stop marketing for every natural disaster. Last week was a very special case.

yeah, I've been worrying that this might be an issue

but I think I trust Sakurai to go the extra mile

In the Sony TGS show they had an earthquake in one of the games, so I don't think the Direct was delayed due to content.

It wouldn't be "morally better" to cancel it outright, but it can only be delayed for so long before it's not relevant news anymore. They're already pushing it at this point. If they care at all about showin respect to the hurricane victims, just as they did the earthquake victims, they'll cancel it. By the time it's a respectable time to air the direct, it will contain old news and probably will require re-filming/editing.
