Indie World should be two weeks from now. The indie showcases have been on the third week of March since 2018.
Wouldn't it be 2 weeks from now. It says GDC was March 16-March 20.Last year Nindie Direct was in the same week as GDC.
So if Nintendo planned one for this year GDC (before it was delayed of course) it would be next week not this one.
Isn't it typically the other way around? Indie Worlds and then General Directs?The first Indie World was announced on Friday 16th, 2019 and then it aired on August 19th, 2019, i.e. a Monday and the day before the Gamescom started. Since the next Indie World will be linked to GDC anyway, I could see it airing right the day before the GDC was supposed to start, with an announcement on next Friday. Thus, it's possible the Direct is next week, then followed by the Indie World.
Don't forget that the Nindie Showcase branding has changed. Better to not use what happened before the rebranding as reference.
At least in 2018 I had Monster Hunter World to help pass the time. Things on the Xbox/PS4 front are also a snooze fest right now.This current period sucks, but so did 2018 and most of you seemed fine with it at the time, even telling me that I was the one in the wrong as they would reach their sales targets (which they didn't).
I still believe that 2020 will be much better than 2018 as a whole, but I'll have some legitimate concerns if Nintendo starts silent another month.
In 2018 Nintendo did their March 8 General Direct (one that announced Smash) and did the Indies presentation on March 20.Isn't it typically the other way around? Indie Worlds and then General Directs?

The last hour of hope until we are forced to move on with our lives.

I still haven't played that one. Maybe I should jump on that before Animal Crossing.2018 also had great Indies. I complained a lot about Nintendo's output at the time, which made people here antsy as Nintendo could do no wrong at that time, but there was legitimate great games to play throughout the year (just not from Nintendo).
2020 isn't on that level in my opinion; partly because I've got no interest in KRZ, but also because the recent indie games haven't been great in my opinion since The Touryst.
Interesting how some insiders knew about the Animal Crossing direct, but the General Direct is alluding them even though there's a lot more components to it (meaning more people have to be in the know for a general direct since Nintendo works with other companies unlike AC)
Nintendo held a press preview event ahead of the AC Direct so that hands-on articles could go live the same dayInteresting how some insiders knew about the Animal Crossing direct, but the General Direct is alluding them even though there's a lot more components to it (meaning more people have to be in the know for a general direct since Nintendo works with other companies unlike AC)
No!
Yeah that's true. Nintendo has done General Directs without press playing any games that are going to be in the direct.Nintendo held a press preview event ahead of the AC Direct so that hands-on articles could go live the same day
Because we have to
Emily would know about the Direct by now but she's too busy to leak anymore. Nate might know if there is a third-party shadowdrop coming that he has caught wind of.Yeah that's true. Nintendo has done General Directs without press playing any games that are going to be in the direct.
And considering Nintendo's next "big game" probably won't be until late April the latest they don't need media playing anything right now until April.
It's always today until it's tomorrow. It's the Direct Circle of suffering.
Because it will be.
You know something?
Nope, you're always disappointed and sometimes have a high of being surprised.When you are pessimistic, you're either always right or pleasantly surprised
Don't make me cry
But also always in a suboptimal mood.When you are pessimistic, you're either always right or pleasantly surprised
No. I'm just being extremely confident so I can look like an idiot in the end when there's no direct announcement again.
Could I perhaps suggest looking over some of the notable games you skipped over in 2019 for one reason or another and considering if there's perhaps a chance that you could have enjoyed them, any one of them, more than you thought? Give them a second thought, if only to consider them for a sale or somethingThis current period sucks, but so did 2018 and most of you seemed fine with it at the time, even telling me that I was the one in the wrong as they would reach their sales targets (which they didn't).

Nate said yesterday that he will be surprised if there is no direct early MarchEmily would know about the Direct by now but she's too busy to leak anymore. Nate might know if there is a third-party shadowdrop coming that he has caught wind of.
Who would do it, though? Everyone has forsaken us (and rightfully so).Isn't it always strongly hinted by someone with a decent reputation that a Direct Announcement is happening before it happens?
Not alwaysIsn't it always strongly hinted by someone with a decent reputation that a Direct Announcement is happening before it happens?
Nope. I think Emily hinted at the September direct, but she's not here anymoreIsn't it always strongly hinted by someone with a decent reputation that a Direct Announcement is happening before it happens?
That seems like he was guessingNate said yesterday that he will be surprised if there is no direct early March
'insiders" I mean it was obvious there would be an AC direct, hardly a difficult prediction, now Nintendo having a direct in January or a Feb was also very likely so many put their bets on that as well and were wrong.Interesting how some insiders knew about the Animal Crossing direct, but the General Direct is alluding them even though there's a lot more components to it (meaning more people have to be in the know for a general direct since Nintendo works with other companies unlike AC)
