I think that was just another leak since they said the title of a game, no?Sounded like that account was going dark for a while.
No one here pointed this out, but someone on ERA pointed out that Kit and Krysta straight up say Nintendo specifically does not want to be associated at all with Summer Game Fest and has their “reasons” for not doing so. Which I guess makes the late June window make sense.

Only thing I could possibly think of is that SGF is positioning itself as a competitor to E3 and Nintendo wants to back the ESABut why? I don't get it.
Your nightmares fueled reality it seems.did the madness settle after my sleep?
Oh. Honestly it was some comment off of it, so you’re probably correct.I think that was just another leak since they said the title of a game, no?
And Nintendo doesn’t have a long standing relationship with Geoff. They have one with ESA that goes decades back. They’re hand in hand with each other. The only reason they even did anything with Geoff for Game Awards was because of Reggie. Nintendo themselves see no reason to work with him on a larger scale.Only thing I could possibly think of is that SGF is positioning itself as a competitor to E3 and Nintendo wants to back the ESA
But hell, they had ad space during SGF so who knows lol
That wouldn't explain the Game Awards absences either. It's just weird.Only thing I could possibly think of is that SGF is positioning itself as a competitor to E3 and Nintendo wants to back the ESA

I’m sure their is some back room marketing reason they never will let out. It is weird because as it’s looking, Keighley is the winning horse to latch your saddle too, but who knows.That wouldn't explain the Game Awards absences either. It's just weird.
It’s really not. I just don’t think Nintendo sees anything beneficial from either the SGF or VGA. I would also imagine he doesn’t have the connections to things like retailers which Nintendo uses E3 for. There are probably other backroom deals. But even when Reggie was there it was very hit or miss.That wouldn't explain the Game Awards absences either. It's just weird.
Yeah, me too. I think every single E3 direct (I know this isn't exactly an E3 event but it's the closest thing) has been on a tuesday.Betting on June 28 12 pm ET with a treehouse to follow, accounting for timezone shenanigans.
Oh wow Gamexplain confirmed they heard the same too!
That’s the mystery I want to solve. Multiple people in the media now have known the direct date. I wonder what tipped them off. They know of some game? Is there a huge embargo on June 29?Now I really am thinking that IGN knew that too, lol. They all kind of said "-yeah, we think there'll be a Direct in June, but it's not the week of the 15th" on NVC, plus Kat even offhandedly saying the 'last week'. Makes me think that a lot of people in and around gaming kind of knew about this one well in advance. Not sure how that differs from usual, maybe if there is a Treehouse planned then there's more info out there sooner than usual?

Unless it's for something more out there like new hardware, then the only thing I can think of that'd be embargoed for a date like that would be... I don't even know. Xenoblade 3 previews? One month before launch? Maybe Silksong?That’s the mystery I want to solve. Multiple people in the media now have known the direct date. I wonder what tipped them off. They know of some game?

Preview of Xenoblade 3 could be one. Hardware is a huge one for sure. Maybe the media will get to play some new games prior to the direct for articles?Unless it's for something more out there like new hardware, then the only thing I can think of that'd be embargoed for a date like that would be...

Not super surprising, but it does seem like it's more people than usual. But it could just be a leakier than usual game is being shown off (probably Mario + Rabbids 2, given that Ubisoft is probably the leakiest studio in the industry)That’s the mystery I want to solve.

Both his productions need a lot of polish & work in terms of pace, fat, & general structure.Geoff is only interested in the big titles and surprises from the big players. He dedicated such a long runtime for a remake of the Last of Us.
He can say he isn’t. But his shows and whatnot have been very clear that he does not actually care for a lot of the stuff he shows off. Plus he’s into Hollywood for video games. His first comment about his own award was that is “slightly heavy then a Oscar”. Inviting actors to announce awards, ending on Fast and Furious. Green Day concert. This is all stuff Nintendo doesn’t fit in and Geoff clearly just wants very very select few iPs from Nintendo, which he’s never gonna get exception being Smash trailers.
So in a way. It’s probably different views simple at that. Don’t think any bad blood,
I’m starting a fake “leaker” account. Couldn’t be that hard lmaooooIt’s a microcosm of how easy it is to get humans to follow and believe everything you say.
He’ll get there I feel once he’s making enough for that. He’s been rushing at this for fast tracking without really adjusting. Its a huge ordeal doing all this.Both his productions need a lot of polish & work in terms of pace, fat, & general structure.
heavily disagree, while e3 has not been great for a long time, i think most people would choose it over game frestI’m sure their is some back room marketing reason they never will let out. It is weird because as it’s looking, Keighley is the winning horse to latch your saddle too, but who knows.
Hopping on Fami for the first time today, did I miss anything?
This gif sums it upHopping on Fami for the first time today, did I miss anything?
Considering that both shows have almost the same problems it doesn’t look like he’s going to get there. I guess we’ll see but I am not hopeful he will turn the SGF around any better then the VGA.He’ll get there I feel once he’s making enough for that. He’s been rushing at this for fast tracking without really adjusting. Its a huge ordeal doing all this.
His Game Award show is looking like a loss cause for any format of actual pacing tho. With the awards and what he actually wants to do, it’ll never be a good “paced” show
According to the tweet, it’s been the 28th for many weeks. That “leaker” wrote their insider info was still valid in late May, so when they confirmed a June 15th Direct a few days ago (just after the reddit leak), it must have been because their late May insider info said it was June 15th. However, we now know that even in late May, June 15th was not the date of the Direct. This 28th Direct is not due to a delay, it’s been the 28th even before late May. It’s not a mistake on their insiders’ end because the Direct was never delayed, nor was it ever on the 15th. Reasonably, either that “leaker” was given fake info, or they don’t have an insider.Except they were saying the direct may be delayed after Nate said it wasn't next week. I'm sure Grub not being sure there's a direct coming also played a role in that too.
You probably saw it since this post but an ex gaming journalist casually dropped the direct date on a stream and Nate has confirmed it's true. The 29th but Nate said it might be the 28th he just knows it's one of those two. Might be timezone shenanigans.Hopping on Fami for the first time today, did I miss anything?
No. It would be announced Tuesday or WednesdaySeems like a good chance this gets announced tomorrow. Would explain all the sudden leaking if the announcement is going up in 10 hours.
At this point I’ll expect anything!No. It would be announced Tuesday or Wednesday
Haha thanks! I actually read up on the news already when I made that post, and was kind of giving a cheeky response. But I understand that tone is impossible to read over the Internet, so I appreciate your explanation anyway.You probably saw it since this post but an ex gaming journalist casually dropped the direct date on a stream and Nate has confirmed it's true.

Let’s hope we get an announcement a week or so in advance rather than 2 days prior.I missed all the fun while I was asleep, RIP. At least now it seems like we have a timeframe. Might allow myself to take off work
