So they did drop an overview trailer after all. Still not convinced Nintendo would go for a General Direct in January, though. They very well might, now that there likely won't be a Pokémon Presents this month, but I doubt it.
What's this from?
Link's on the image, just click on itWhat's this from?
It's gonna be May - July timeframe, as always. Emily also confirmed this few days ago.I just want a god damn Splatoon 3 release date so I can start counting down to the work vacation I am taking when it's out lol.
No, we won.So... Nintendo directly gave us info and gameplay about upcoming games. We have just started the thread and we have already won.
we have just lost, right?
I thought it was neat but god did I miss the classic Pokémon catching mechanics. In that way both Sword & Pearl were a lot more enjoyable for me.I would probably actually play another Let's Go
insane that (imo) Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee are the only Pokémons on Switch that look good
I might not be as active anymore but my Pokémon sense is still intactly tingling when someone is shittalking about Pokémon behind my back.I think that pokémon sword and shield are the ugliest games I've ever seen
this is the magic of subjective preference
I do enjoy taking the big sweeper in N64 Rainbow Road sideways.Mario Kart 19: Tokyo Drift??
fuck I thought I could finally get away with itI might not be as active anymore but my Pokémon sense is still intactly tingling when someone is shittalking about Pokémon behind my back.
I see you my friend.
hah! and people call ME susfuck I thought I could finally get away with it
it's no coincidence that pokémon is the largest media franchise in the world, everyone. pokémon is good.
Keep me away from that timelineThe next direct will be March 2023.
I dig it.Susriel Wavencrantz
I think we get the trailer for the movie on Mar10 Day.A question I don’t see anyone asking, will we get the first trailer for the Mario movie at the next Nintendo Direct?
More like Joycon Drift amirite?Mario Kart 19: Tokyo Drift??
That’s a very good day to do it too. I’m torn now.I think we get the trailer for the movie on Mar10 Day.
I feel like it makes the most sense. If this direct doesn't announce any major new titles and mostly focuses on release dates for titles we already know about, then it's possible they show a trailer. If it's a direct that gives us the typical big 2 reveals, then I doubt it.That’s a very good day to do it too. I’m torn now.
Teaser but yesA question I don’t see anyone asking, will we get the first trailer for the Mario movie at the next Nintendo Direct?
Yeah my original thinking was the casting made such a big splash from the last Direct and they could show it on their own terms with their most passionate audience. The casting amplified some of their announcements that day.Teaser but yes
First trailer at E3 (or in June Direct)
I read that as "roast posters", wtf.oh hey I was supposed to post rosters today
haha I'll do it tomorrow whoops
oh hey I was supposed to post rosters today

Xenoblade feels like it might be happening but idk about Fire Emblem. I'd put a down payment on a casket just in case.I don't know if I can survive 2022 without a new Fire Emblem and Xenoblade game. Should I prepare my funeral just in case?
It‘s because we are right now in the time frame were we usually have to wait the longest for a new direct/Nintendo News. Otherwise we usually have from February/March to September Nintendo News almost every week.It really feels like it’s been a long time since the last direct. Can’t really say why but probably because there are so many rumored stuff and games I want to see more of.
The Fire Emblem team hasn't done anything for a long while, don't know if Heroes even counts. Paper Mario and WarioWare had other people working on them, and Three Houses was mostly done by Koei Tecmo.Xenoblade feels like it might be happening but idk about Fire Emblem. I'd put a down payment on a casket just in case.
There will be pandemoniumI can't believe we're entering Direct speculation season for the first time on Fami. This is going to be so much fun as plausible dates grow nearer!
Yeahhh I always have trouble recording with QuickTime on Mac. Had I continued to do multimedia I hopefully would've ironed this outAlso, great thread/video, but your mic is a bit too low.
heheh thanksI forgot to say, great OP @Raccoon! I enjoyed reading it
The split has gone even better than I expected it to, and I think without all of my bullshit this thread fills a fantastic niche for the coming weeksOh yeah!! I really missed this thread, the General Discussion threads were nice but usually too focused on community, which is fine but the Direct rumours and speculation were in the background. Luckily this year will give us many amazing new announcements
this really is gonna be a weird Famiboards artifact huhBit of a silver lining here (I try to reframe things to be more positive, for better or worse), there will now be only a select few of us who got to see the Direct Speculation Daily video where we watched Raccoon talk to us as he walked us through polishing an ST and forgot the names of PlayStation games, and in the far-flung Famifuture when those privileged few of us bring it up in hushed whispers around the campfire the n00bs will be like, "huh??"
I'm late as fuck but I'm on itMight somebody have already, or be willing to make, a predictions image template, so that users in these threads can easily share their predictions in a fun bingo sheet format?
yeah, keeping expectations reserved is generally a good thing but people seem to fixate on having one game for every month exactly when precedent doesn't support and even sometimes when it doesn't make any sense (e.g. "well Triangle Strategy is in March, Advance Wars is April, so Kirby must be May")Three out of twelve months had multiple releases, and it would have been four had Advance Wars not been delayed out of December. We gotta think bigger.
yeahh, 2022 has the potential to be almost too good. it may not feel like it, but enthusiasts' time is a limited resource and they could end up self-competing. hopefully there's not too much overlap between those audiencesThis would easily be Nintendo's strongest 7 months in history in terms of 1st Party core-oriented releases.
this made me wonderFire Emblem in 2022 seems unlikely to me. A 3 year turnaround after Three Houses, in the midst of COVID, doesn't sound realistic.
can't believe this didn't happen crying shidding and farding rnBotW2 shadowdrop next Friday. Happy new year world.
always appreciate your insightIf the next direct is in February and something gets shadowdropped, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the next 99/Battle Royale game. It seems that the core leads for Tetris 99 and Super Mario Bros. 35 were the same, whereas Pac-Man 99 was developed by a mostly different team within Arika and had no involvement from EPD. There's also some evidence to suggest that the Mario 35th Anniversary celebrations were meant to begin much earlier, so who knows how long they were sitting on Mario 35. The Pac-Man 99 credits have an "Arika 99 Team" section, so the series will probably continue in some form.
Going into random speculation, the most popular candidates seem to be Puzzle League/Panel de Pon 99 and WarioWare 99. If I had to choose between them, I think Puzzle League is more likely, as WarioWare just had a recent release with Get it Together. I definitely wouldn't rule out WarioWare 99 in the future, as Ryuichi Nakada has worked on Touched and Smooth Moves.
man you were ahead of the curve on thisjanuary: kirby and the forgotten land release date via twitter (march)
absolutely not happening, zero chanceSomething which has been barely mentioned is the possibility of EPD 10 focusing on Pikmin 4 instead of a new 2D Mario after SMM2.
Wouldn't discard a release this year either.
yeahhhhh rumors are obviously very important to speculation but man, they've made everyone's hopes and expectations the same. not too much room for anything creative or "exciting," though obviously many are excited for the rumored gamesDaily reminder to check expectations. Nintendo has a relatively huge 8 games already announced for 2022, prior to any direct. There are other titles that are heavily rumored and I don't think we should expect much, if anything, beyond those (e.g. DK, Xeno, Fire Emblem, MP Remake) to be announced.
wait did this actually happen? or was it a day later?Lengthy PLA overview trailer later today, I can feel it.
this aged well, even if doesn't end up being entirely accuratePrepare thine selves for another year of doom and gloom as Nintendo doesn't mention any summer presentations with E3 once again going digital
An Overview Trailer of Pokémon Legends Arceus has been posted.
It seems highly unlikely that there will be a Pokémon Direct.
oh gosh if this was a remake of NES Ice Hockey it would genuinely be my GOTYI had a dream that Team January won and a full Direct was next Thursday. I was shocked. I also got kicked off a veritable scrabble bag of a casual hockey team for losing.
so clearly ICE HOCKEY 2022 is Nintendo’s next direct curveball
it turns out you did not! looks like me reading every single page right to the end paid offI don't if I said it or not, so left me be very clear: I'm #TeamFebruary.
I'll even plant my flag in the sand and say it'll be February 9th.
