So, it's that time of the year. January became a pretty important month for Nintendo in the last few years. We had Directs in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018 (Mini) and the Switch event in 2017.
While last year there was...well, some hype in here, this time the situation seems pretty calm on the horizon even though 2019 is going to be twelve months of big releases for Nintendo and the Nintendo Switch (Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion 3, Yoshi, Daemon X Machina, the Final Fantasy series, Smash DLCs and maybe Metroid among others).
One of the reasons why this January seems a bit silent could be the Metroid Prime Trilogy accident from the TGAs, where some insiders predicted the announcement that never came (maybe for a change of plans or other reasons we don't know). After that, we basically didn't see any hints for new Nintendo/Nintendo Directs announcements by the people who usually have a foot, or at least a finger, in the industry.
So what do you think Era? Is there going to be a January Direct? Is this the calm before the storm? Is this the calm before the freaking nothing?

Is Phantom Thief the one and only Hype Master?
