So the Splatoon 2 update was delayed to next thursday

There was a problem fetching the tweet
Whos peekybird? And delaying it a full week could cause a lot of issues for time senstive annopuncments. what if they had planned demos releaisng today, or other announcments(like the offical Best buy one?)

Untill nintendo says otherwise don't beleive anything

Oh I read some stuff in the twitter chain there. People are only speculating the direct is moved back a week because of Splatoon 2 datamining saying the next patch is next week.... that seems like an odd assumption

I wouldn't look too much into Stealth's tweet as a Isaac hint. After all Xenoblade 2 Torna is around the corner and that game has a lot of earthly explosions and mass destruction in its trailers. It could be anything at this point.

Yep. I wanted to copy that tweet with the datamine info but my Phone didnt let me. That's why I only comment about the Splatoon 2 update, not the direct but makes sense the two are connected

I don't know but considering Switch online service is tied to this direct they probably don't want to mess too much with the schedule.
Will the online service get delayed, again?

That would be such a shame! [/sarcasm]

I wouldn't want it in the circumstances of a natural disaster like this, though.

Here is the link to that tweet.


Its just well that is a long time to delay, and LOTS of leaks or surprise announcments could be released. Like WB already released a trailer for Lego Harry potter switch, which I assume would have been announced today.

Delaying the direct a full week could really mess up a lot of plans. I understand worried about being sensitive, but they also need to look out for the company.

However that information about maybe a certain game having insensitive parts could tie back, It doesn't sound like its smash though.


I think still at most the delay we get is a few days at most.

Reminder to my fellow Earth Adepts

Be sure to show some class during this crisis. Isaac is definitely tied to earthquakes but using him as a punchline for the tragedies that have occurred today is not ok. Doing so is insensitive and selfish. I haven't read through the thread but I pray that you guys are better than that.

Please, don't joke about this earthquake. It is a tragic disaster and the people effected don't deserve it. Love you guys. My heart and prayers goes out to you that are effected.

I read through the 4chan post regarding the earthquake delay and it's honestly disgusting some of their attitudes towards it especially with them using Isaac as a means to joke about an event that resulted in deaths

Don't worry, we are better than that. :grin:

I don't think I've seen anyone make any jokes about Hokkaido's tragedy on this site.
[Xenoblade 2 Torna] has a lot of earthly explosions and mass destruction in it's trailers.
Mass destruction?
BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY-!

Xenoblade x Persona when? :laugh:

Dont worry bud. Even if we can think of a possibility that id linked to Isaac somehow i know that all the people here are more mature than just joking around with this. Of course i too thought about that, but then realised it was not acceptable regarding the victims of this tragedy so i immediately put away this idea,

I'm sure everyone here thinks the same ;)

Well, 4chan hasn't changed. For those curious as to what 4chan is saying. Edit: Link removed by Moderator (or someone else)

Mode Edit: let's not do that. Better to keep offsite drama offsite.

TBH I'm not exactly offended by jokes revolving this, and this is kind of how I am when it comes to many tragedies. Some jokes are better told then others, but I'm assuming for many there wasn't maliciousness intended and they just wante dto lighten the mood/have a different way of responding to tragedy. Not saying people should go out of their way to yuck it up, but that the joking might not always be hateful.

The only thing I'd probably condemn are those that are hating and giving Nintendo s*** over the delay and are completely missing the entire point of the delay.

But I'm also someone who has a pretty dark sense of humor, so I'm maybe not the best to judge...

Regardless, It sucks that Japan is going through so much natural disaster and I hope things work out for them. It's disappointing the direct was delayed but there are obviously much more important things that need to be dealt with now.

In regards to this stuff there are people who try to make fanbases hate each other on there. Vocal and dedicated minority. Its quite sad.


That being said I have met some chill non edgy people on 4ch. Too bad it got super edgy in late 2015, it seems to have chilled a bit but I don't really visit the place anymore, only occasionally

Mod Edit: Again. Let's leave offsite drama offsite where it belongs.

Edit: Sorry!

Saw some IG stories about the earthquake but didn't think it was this bad. And just after the typhoon... poor Japan.

As for the Direct, it's time for all of us to just wait it out and exercise our patience. I woke up super excited about coming here and speculating about the Direct with everyone, but it was not meant to be our time I guess. :crying:

Change of Subject: What stage and stage setup would be best for the Golden Sun franchise?
There's a huge number of memorable locations. From what I can tell, the most popular picks seem to be Venus Lighthouse and the Elemental Star Chamber, both of which would be pretty amazing. Personally I'm more partial to the Venus Lighthouse since the layout alone would already be perfect for a Smash stage. However I also wouldn't mind the Apollo Sanctum Gate from Dark Dawn, that place was probably the wildest ride I've had in most RPGs.

I just want this proverbial band-aid to be ripped off already. Part of me wants to now right now! but I know it isn't right.

My prayers go out to everyone in Japan. I hope the missing persons are found swiftly and thankfully there wasn’t a tsunami. Hopefully the aftershocks are minimal.

I was thinking of making a Youtube playlist full of non video game songs related to the sun. Anyone have any song suggestions?

Walking on Sunshine is an obvious one but I'm hoping people will have suggestions from various different artists and genres.
They may be a meme, but damn do I love Walking on the Sun by Smash Mouth.

If Isaac was in this Direct, I really hope he's not going to be removed because of this.

I mean yeah it's unfortunate this event happened but there's no need to delay his reveal for months possibly because of that.

You got dreads as well?

And yes keep the untastefulness out of here.

Also, earthquake in Isaac's reveal or not, he won't be cut because of it. Not even pushed back I think. The timing of exactly today wouldn't be great, but there's no harm in next week. I expect they won't change a thing.

Definitely not. Nintendo if anything will cut out his trailer and put in a new one for a different character if it really bothered them.

They aren't going to remove a character because of one earthquake. No matter how tragic it is. Instead they will move that character's reveal until another time.

I also got Dreads, High top faded dreadlocks but maintained! =D

Man I keep having these dreams that Isaac will be playable, it's literally getting annoying now...

First I want to extend condolences to Japan (I wish for their swift recovery). On the topic of a Smash reveal, I do not think this delay will change who gets revealed. I would think it is more likely they edit the direct to not have a smash reveal and we get a standalone reveal video (like we got with Robin in Smash 4) though I think that is also unlikely.

I think Sakurai said these reveal trailers were a lot of work so I don't think they would scrap one. The delay is the respectful thing to do but everything else will probably stay the same.

If Isaac is in, I don’t think he will have his trailer removed because of this. I also don’t think the entire Direct would be delayed because of that, which I’ve weirdly seen some people on /v/ claim.
