Watch this day go down in history as the day Nintendo inadvertently funded disaster relief through it’s fans.

Venus of the Desert Bloom You should repost that link for relief donations and we’ll see if Verde Coeden Scalesworth will allow us to bump it each page.

 

[PlasmaDam]

Even if your fav doesn't get in RESPECT SAKURAI

 

[Michele]

And then...The direct started early. Nah just kiddin' They'll probably fix it.

inb4 the direct actually starts automatically

In all seriousness though, I'm surprised there are 3500 peoples waiting for that direct. I'm pretty sure they will be disappointed when they learn Nintendo was telling the truth.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I still think its best to postpone it until further notice. Like really lives are more important then games.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

As someone who was ****ed over for months by Hurricane Maria and missed a metric ton of FEH content I fully support the decision.
The situation sucks, and having that feeling of missing out on stuff you love makes things harder, because the thing you used to rely on for stress relief becomes another source of stress. The last thing I wanted to happen during that time was a Direct announcement.

Me but with Hurricane Irma last year. Thank the Lord that Hurricane Maria didn't come to my state, but we were without power for two and a half weeks, the heat was unbearable, and no power or LTE for a long time. We had to use generators after a while and dad was affected and --

anyway. yeah. What you said, it rings true. Plus, helping those affected comes first.

 

[fortun8]

ehh? i wasn't aware anything was happening tonight! maybe it's just a miscommunication, and if anything goes live, it may just cover what's all happened within the past 24 hours and it'll give us a date? not sure!
i hope everyone can bounce back from this...natural disasters are always tough.

 

[Untouch]

They aren't having a direct. They just haven't changed the date of the direct on youtube because they don't want to put up a date before they're 100% sure.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Over here in Tennessee, We have loads of mountains surrounding us, and we arn't close to any large bodies of water for Hurricanes to happen. So I'm pretty happy that I live in such a safe place.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

What's this about a Japan only livestream?

 

[Blargg888]

Someone tell me what's been going on today, I've been seeing a lot of news and have no idea what's going on.

From what I know, several areas of Japan were hit by an earthquake that measured about 6-7 on the Richter Scale.

The earthquake caused several fatailities, many injuries, and more to be in dire straits.

Because of this, the Nintendo Direct has been delayed until further notice.

That's the basic gist of it, though there's probably some details I'm missing.

 

[Roberto zampari]

I learned about the earthquake in Japan which lead the delay of the Nintendo Direct.
This was tragic and unfortunate, this incident.

At least, i hope they will add more newcomers if the new Nintendo Direct would be in October.

 

[Michele]

There are conspirators who think the direct is actually going to start. I bet the 5000 peoples in Youtube atm will be disappointed.

dude what do you mean we just got Hurricane George's rain today

 

[Funktastic]

Wait, Nintendo's doing a livestream later tonight? What's that about? Was that something we knew about prior to the direct?

Source/Link?

Speaking stuff kinda like Tornadoes, and Tsunamis. I Wouldn't really classify heavy rain as a natural disaster. (Or I'm just really dumb.)

 

[PlasmaDam]

I hope everything is okay at nintendo

It's funny cause it's literally says it's postponed in Japanese there

 

[Fenriraga]

Ah, okay. So the Japanese Nintendo Youtube has the direct up for starting in 15 minutes. They probably just haven't had the chance to adjust that, no way it's happening.

 

[Will]

Floods are always an issue in the state. If you live on a lower plane you're ****ed.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

Where is Nintendo's headquarters in Japan located btw?

 

[Nap_]

Eh, imagine if with all this mess nobody turned off the switch and de Direct airs automatically.
Are people awaiting something seriously?

 

[Michele]

Where is Nintendo's headquarters in Japan located btw?

Kyoto, maybe? I don't know.

But the more pressing thing is that the direct starts in 10 minutes. It's still up. Strange...Could I have made an miscalculation?

 

[Iridium]

So, will anyone go out to try out the Best Buy demo starting tomorrow?

 

[Untouch]

Where is Nintendo's headquarters in Japan located btw?

Kyoto, it isnt really close to where the earthquake happened.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

The character nobody wants.

If he and DK Jr came in as Echos, the whole internet would explode

Reviving two classic characters (somewhat on Koopa Kid's end) for Ultimate would be a crazy thing and I think it would work rather well if done correctly

 

[Will]

Where is Nintendo's headquarters in Japan located btw?

Kyoto, IIRC. Their N off their logo got ripped off by the typhoon earlier. Man Japan is just getting all the worst natural disasters one at a time.

 

[dezeray112]

Kyoto.

EDIT: Ninja'd

 

[Slavic]

I live in the flat part of Ohio, but sliiiiightly elevated compared to the surrounding area, so even tornadoes that form near the highway right outside the city don't bother us. The closest I've had to a natural disaster personally was back from Hurricane Ike 10 years ago, where it sent a massive windstorm up that ripped up all our trees and powerlines for a week. This was just the leftover wind from that event and it put us out of power for a week. Japan's dealing with two very powerful events right now and are still planning power restoration within that same time frame. That is impressive and an incredible recovery effort on their part, so like kudos to everyone over there for their response.

 

[fortun8]

i'm not hoping for the Direct, that's not why i'm there, personally! i'm just worried about what might happen if something does come up, or if they'll release more information through the timeframe. i hope that's not selfish of me...

 

[Fenriraga]

It's not even up on the other Nintendo Youtube channels, guys. Nothing is going to come from this. The MOST I can see happening is them giving a new date, but that's still pretty unlikely.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I just want to say that, while things have been really tense in this thread lately, it's really reassuring to see how understanding and respectful people here are generally being about earthquake. There can be so much insensitivity in certain corners of the internet that it can sometimes be easy to forget that the entire internet isn't all like that.

 

[OurBraveHero]

Supposedly millions in Japan without power, plus apparently the Earthquake heavily affected Iwata's home town so I'm sure some of the delay is in respect to him as well.

Having experienced Hurricane Sandy, I know what it's like, so my condolences to all the victims.

Too far, not enough locations= likely a waste of time

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Eh true. Ignore my brain flops, please Don't know very much about this stuff. All i really know is that Mountains kinda can help against Tornados and that's it. Kinda figured same with Tsunamis since I'm not near large bodies of water.

Yeah. Nice to know there's people on the Internet who havn't lost their marbles.

Thought about it, but it's really far away, and I think I wanna save my first time playing the game when it releases so it will be all the more glorious .

 

[Michele]

5 minutes, unill the disappointment happens.

 

[Untouch]

You can only be disappointed if you actually expect a direct in 5 minutes even though nintendo explicitly said there won't be.
