Aw jeez, is it that time again?
Why yes my fellow Fami's, it is time. With Nintendo revealing dates for several summer-ish games, it might be time to get all Direct speculation in one place.
If you are possibly new to Famiboards, here's the quick idea behind this thread. Over several messageboards and a decade's worth of Nintendo Direct presentations, a bunch of enthousiastic fans (or in other words, people watching Nintendo's twitter account like a hawk) created the Nintendo Direct Speculation thread. It's a place where we post our hopes, dreams, fears or complete non-sensical opinions on our favourite Kyoto based gaming company. A shout out towards @Raccoon, he was the first to create the orginal thread here in our little corner of the internet.
So this is part 2...
Yes. This thread will be used to speculate about the next Nintendo Direct showing. When the Direct is finally announced I think it would be for the best to close this one and continue in the Direct presentation thread. Why I created part 2? Well, it's going to be a weird year. With the Covid-19 pandemic seemingly slowing down, we still have to deal with the many aftershocks it created. In regards to the industry, the ESA cancelled E3, even as a digital event. Yes, we know, Geoff Keighley jumped in pretty quickly to fill in the void with with a new Summer Game Fest for this year but with E3 gone for this year it makes for an interesting question; what will Nintendo do? Well, for the last couple of weeks thanks to Twitter Directs we have a good idea where they will be heading for the next three months. But still... Nintendo remains a mystery and will still have some surprises up their sleeves.
