Our first real leak I think of next week, Jeff Grubb retweeted this and I think he's teasing the Donkey Kong game

They are replacing the mine-cart levels with golf-cart levels then?

EDIT: Wait, isn't that an orangutan?! Lanky Kong confirmed as a playable character!

If I were an insider making predictions videos I would definitely wait to see what Nintendo announces before I put my video out lol.
Well Nate already said he's not operating under the belief it's a Partner, so we know what kind of predictions we can expect.

@NateDrake if next weeks Direct does turn out to be a Partner/Mini, will you even release your predictions? If you made predictions pertaining to Zelda/Mario, wouldn't really fit for a Partner Direct probably so I was wondering if you'd rerecord it, skip it or just release it as is since it's recorded anyway

I mean if it’s not a general direct (I’m not talking about this situation), then I can alter my video if needed. So I would wait.

There is one game I do expect to see in the Direct even if it's a Partner Showcase: that beautiful Japan only Shin-Chan game.
Spanish voiceover actors apparently had teased it several times, and even a screenshot of the game with the spanish text was seen online a few days ago.
it seems like this might be a Spain only thing, though I would be super stoked to play it in english
 
My heart wants to believe but my head says they wait till fall. The next time they show the game it will need to be a larger trailer as I don't think they can give another small teaser with no release date. With this not being tied to E3 Nintendo has no pressure to show before they are ready. Plus I think Nintendo wants to keep the spotlight on Xenoblade 3 and Splatoon 3. If they go big for Zelda next week , the Zelda news will dominate the conversation.
 
I contacted the Belgian Nintendo customer service asking when the Direct was next week but they didn't fall for it.

A valiant, albeit useless effort, but an valiant effort nonetheless
 
Good morning Fami! Another day, another lack of announcement, I see

BOTW 2 will be there yup. They even have Xenoblade out of the way and pokemon probably won't be there as well. They have the space for it for sure

I can't anymore, I just can't. We are waiting 134 days for next Direct. What is wrong with you Nintendo? Seriously what are you thinking? Are you going 3rd party or what? What's the deal here? If your ips are going on Playstation that would be a biggest insult by gaming company for like ever. Nintendo means "leave luck to heaven" or at least that's the rumor, so give us a luck to heaven with Direct announcement or I am burning my Switch with Amiibo figures looking to it.

It would be impossible for Nintendo of Europe to release something in Spain and not in the UK, Germany or France. And it would be really strange to release something in Europe and not in the USA, even if it's only a digital release.
If those rumours are true, then spanish version = full western release!

NoE wouldnt release the game it would be a 3rd party doing so (probably the Spanish shin-Chan rights holder company will partner with Bamco they tend to distribute a lot of games in Spain). Shin-Chan is a lot more popular in Spain/LATAM than in english-speaking countries so if the translation is financed by the Spanish rights holder of Shin-Chan there will not be english release at least from that company, another one will have to take that role. It would be in the European eShop tho at least just not in English
 
I am playing Through Lament of Innocence Again and i cannot believe i enjoyed this level design when i was 12 or so.
