Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Still, there would certainly be other news and announcements outside of those two things.
Unless the isn't a Direct at all and just an announcement, and Zell's source is just a bit confused on how the announcement video will be branded.
Next best case scenario honestly. If Nintendo has a strong n64 lineup, they may win round 2 and steal Sony's lunch money. And we will still get a full January or February direct focused on switch. Good stuff.
Maybe they were waiting to see reactions on Sony's Playstation Classic? At least around here, a lot of hype died when they announced the list of games. If the N64 mini has all the classics it could be a great hit for Christmas.
Sigh.
And here we go.
Again.
Doomed to reset the clock forever. And ever. And ever. And ever.
Everyone should keep their expectations in check. It'll probably be a Mini Direct. N64 Mini being announced in a Mini Direct would work and some other small announcements.
Remember Mini Directs are just dropped onto YouTube out of nowhere.

Kinda funny that n64 mini will be competing against ps1 mini...it's like the 90s all over again!
Yeah but my wallet keeps saying there's a misunderstanding "man it was different back in the WiiU days !"
All I need to see is Banjo Kazooie on it!
If YouTube is coming Thursday they might drop the Direct (if Mini) on Wednesday or Thursday.

That's precisely what I'm saying :)
Furukawa said this because the previous statement was something about "still Holiday titles unannounced" which was NSMBUDX. A Nov/Dec Direct happening or not has nothing to do with that statement that is solely meant to say that there are no more unannounced games releasing this Holiday from Nintendo.
You do know that ALBW exists because they started on ALTTP and Aonuma felt that was too boring? :)
haha good one :D
I would argue that, being (the original) a less popular console than the other two, a stronger push might indeed be needed for the Mini.
Someone call the zoo to have some crows ready to be sent over to me cause I still maintain that that shit ain't happening lol. Especially not now.
Tune in for the "Random shit we didn't know where to fit throughout the year" Direct on November 8th!
At least you were polite about it lmao

For quite some time now they've kept the general stuff (3DS/Switch), mobile, Classic systems, and special projects like Labo separate, presumably because those appeal to different audiences that happen to overlap sometimes. Hard to believe they'd start combining them now.
this is why Nintendo Directs are so effective tbh. Keeps us desperate and raving.
I think Nintendo knows by now that there isn't a select demographic for their classic consoles. When they announced the mini Nes it was mostly aimed at people not playing games regularly.
Apparently a Youtube app is coming to Switch this thursday so people think it might be related to a Direct or Direct mini.
I personally doubt it, I think the N64 Classic will be a non-Direct announcement if it happens.
I mean December is literally next month.
I'm certainly surprised that they've gone this route for an incredibly short time between announcement & release for the N64 Classic. Maybe they think that WoM will carry it and that it's something that is well-established at this point 3 iterations in that people will see it on shelves and know what it is? Still a month though...

Yeah, it's very weird...
I can imagine they'll get even more complaints as to why these games aren't on "Switch VC" if they put it in a direct
Jonneh
You're slipping mate :(
You don't trust King Zell? Are we going through this not giving insiders the benefit of the doubt again. Lol
Same. If it's a general direct that's the first thing on my predictions list.
I don't doubt that he has legit sources of course, I just don't know how confident he or his source is that this is going to be branded a Direct or if they're just very confident simply that it's going to be announced.
Details like that can get lost in the chain of information.
The next Retro game seems tailor-made for E3 or the Game Awards though.
I hope they announce more media apps alongside YouTube...I really want twitch and Netflix as well
Thanks.
If I knew he did that I would've been talking about it all this time. I just need to know if it's a Mini Direct or General Direct.
You will get a simple PR from Nintendo announcing the N64 mini and you will love it.
