10 minute Direct at 7:00 AM in my timezone? With no first party titles announcements whatsoever?

Forget it lol. I've got more important things to do. I'm studying coding. I'll watch it later in the day if there's anything remotely pertaining to my interests about it.

Kellios can say all they want.

Nintendo's saying it's for "Previously revealed" games. They got the date right, but the info wrong, simple as that.
The man knew the exact time of announcements and other big names like Nate Drake are backing the Mario claim. So either there’s another direct this week or it’s got a good chance to be there imo. One person could be wrong sure, but it be odd if they all were when they are already half way there.

Do you guys think, that maybe at the end of it they would announce a larger direct coming soon?
No, I don’t.
Like I said before, maybe they will announce an upcoming Sakurai Presents for next month. But that’s only because of how much evidence is pointing to Geno’s inclusion, or just a smash fighter’s in general. But I seriously doubt they’d make a tiny direct to announce a bigger one. If that’s the case, why not just make the big one? And if it’s because certain stuff is not ready, why not just save the stuff in the smaller direct for the big one? It wouldn’t make sense.

The biggest question though, why the hell is it 10 minutes? Their investors meeting is coming up and there’s No actual first party titles announced.

How do they plan to handle that?
Willing to bet they’re just gonna speed run through each game, most just getting a 15-25 second gameplay clip. With some bigger ones (whether they’ve been announced or not) getting short trailers from 1 minutes to 1 minute 30 seconds.
Or were just gonna get very few announcements.

I don't deny there could be a possibility of another Direct, but right now, we're working with what we know.


He got the date right, but the information wrong. There could be a 'general' Direct maaaaaaybe later, but at the time, there is a whopping 0% chance of the Mario collection dropping in this.

It’s definitely possible but he’s extremely confident still, which makes me think they probably know more then we think like most leakers.

Man, I just want to be excited about potential news for games like NMH3, Doom Eternal, KH Melody of Memory, Hollow Knight Silksong but everyone's so livid to the point that Nintendo maintaining radio silence would have kept them happier.

I’m confused- isn’t doom eternal already on switch?
I could’ve sworn the whole Isabelle and Doomguy memes were because they were both getting Switch games.

Doom Eternal has yet to be released on Switch. We don't even have a release date yet.

Another mini direct? Also not gonna lie, really not a fan of those last minute announcements they've grown fond of doing, espcially with such long silence between each announcement. Makes me wonder how happy the investors are about this.

That’s strange. I guess I just had it wrong the whole time.

Actually, SMTV seems pretty likely to be in this direct. You have to imagine, they probably had to shove a decent amount of games in just to get it to ten minutes. And a game that’s already been announced and is first party (which i’m assuming nintendo exclusive also counts) fits the bill.

Considering Smash trailers take up 2-3 minutes on their own, that'd take up 20-30% of the presentation as is.


The only way we're even conceivably getting a Smash 'reveal'..... is ala another "HEY, THIS SERIES IS GETTING A CHARACTER, CAN YOU GUESS WHO?!"

Two things to note though.

That tweet says our development and the. Publishing partners. You really don’t need both to describe third parties.

And secondly I wonder why they announced this when they were fine with shadow dropping the last one.

No, no Smash.

99% sure no Smash.
Well then. I’m skipping. If something interesting happens then I’ll find out after.

Though probably nothing will happen at all because everyone was all like “2019 is the worst year ever” and then 2020 said “hold my beer”. And we’ve been holding its beer for six months.

I mean we could get a Pirhana Plant Style trailer but with no gameplay and a release date of TBA.

Like if Geno is FP7, make the trailer like the smash 64 room, then bam it’s Geno. People would still flip out and it could be like 30 seconds.

I wish I was at the age where I could be this optimistic again.

Lol it’s only a six year difference. And I was not saying it’s guranteed, just that it could work if they really wanted. Hell the arms reveal was technically a png. Just flash the next characters render at that point lmao.

You guys should probably come to terms with your loss.
Geno isn’t getting revealed at this direct.
Get excited. You never know what could happen. One of your favorite games could get a remake! Or.. something.
They aren’t revealing any new games, so that seems incredibly unlikely but still

Plot twist we get Rare Replay which Nintendo realized they forgot to add prior.

What even are they gonna show.

I don’t know about you, but a Nintendo direct with no announcements isn’t worth watching.

I mean, Bayonetta 3 would be nice. But what are the odds.

I don’t think anything interesting will happen in this direct, to the point where I actually almost wish that it wasn’t happening.

I could see a Smash reveal in the form of what Z25 Z25 is saying if it’s Geno or another third-party.

Of course, Smash itself is still owned by Nintendo, yet the characters involve partners, so who knows. This basically being a “Nothing Direct” still sucks though, literally no new 2020 games and none of the big rumors insiders seemed so confident in. If Smash is still allowed, it would be the only exciting thing for me unless there’s some Minecraft surprise or something as well.

Hopefully we’ll get a real direct soon...

Cancel your direct Nintendo and just put the trailers on YouTube randomly. No point in getting everyone excited when nothing interesting is going to be shown.

It would be nice if they let us in on all the stuff they had planned for this year that didn’t end up happening or happening on time because of this virus.

I'm starting to wonder if they even 'had' anything for this year.


Unless there's an actual Direct this or next week, or sometime in September I suppose... they just don't have any ****ing 1st party titles coming out. They have basically no holiday lineup.

Disney is announced as a new partner, how do you react?
Normally I’d make a sarcastic quip about how “Disney bad”. But at this point.... I’m too disappointed to even care.

No Smash. No Mario Ports. No F-Zero. No big announcements of cool new titles. Just a whole lot of nothing. It’s like.... the Anti-Fairy version of a Nintendo Direct.

I feel like no way they just didn’t. Insiders have all been saying even before COVID they were looking forward to this year. I think Nintendo just got really thrown off by this and had no real plan in place for this situation. And they aren’t always the best at pr so transparency isn’t always their first move.

They had to have had SOMETHING. But then society decided to ****ing collapse. Everything is on hold. Everything is taking longer to make. And it’s probably not even safe to manufacture new game cartridges. So blah. I ****ing hate 2020. I’ve been hoping beyond hope for something good to happen for years now because it’s felt like nothing but bad every day. And just when the new year happens we get a virus that cancels everything and slows down everything else and a literally civil rights uprising. I half expect every morning to wake up and look out my window and see a mad max desert that just appeared out of nowhere.

And who knows? Maybe they will announce something! We don’t know if it’d be huge, but you can always hope, because it is possible.
Just because one thing you wanted isn’t possible doesn’t mean that you won’t like anything about it. Nintendo might surprise you.

My bet is that Mario and BOTW 2 would have probably been the holiday titles this year if things went according to plan.

Please


It's been over 3 years


I don't give a **** about Smash, just give me SMTV. We haven't seen ANY gameplay and it's been THREE YEARS since the teaser trailer.

Honestly that game being alive would be the biggest reveal they could pull off.

They flat out said it’s all about previously revealed games. Nothing new. There is no hope. Because there’s nothing to be hopeful about.
