Well, the bar is on the floor.I would guess a Partners Direct in 2022 will be better than the ones in 2020. This one should be because Nintendo wanted to do it and they weren’t forced, unlike 2020.

That toowasn't it more because of contract obligations with third parties?
Especially if it’s a partner that’s made up of E3/June reveal obligationsI would guess a Partners Direct in 2022 will be better than the ones in 2020. This one should be because Nintendo wanted to do it and they weren’t forced, unlike 2020.
Yeah either way should be at a head tomorrowWhatever we get, I think it'll be announced tomorrow. Both NoA and NoE Twitter has been silent all weekend. While not 100% of the time, most of the time they do it before a big announcement
Nope. Closer to 20 minutes would be more accurate I would guess.Will it be around 40 minutes or nah?
The longest mini so far was 29 minutes long.Will it be around 40 minutes or nah?
When they had to clarify the reveal wasn’t a Nintendo IP ahead of time… down so badIf you weren’t there for the Bakugan thing you don’t know true Direct thread chaos
We were CONVINCED WayFoward was making a Wario Land game… fam it was NUTSWhen they had to clarify the reveal wasn’t a Nintendo IP ahead of time… down so bad
you guys still have a Switch?
The funniest part about that, Wayforward WAS working on a Nintendo IP at the time (Advance Wars), it just wasn’t ready for a reveal at the timeWe were CONVINCED WayFoward was making a Wario Land game… fam it was NUTS
I expect a partner at minimun tbhExpect a mini at minimum
I wanna see Aonuma finishing the first Zelda game or else I will riot!I think I got it but am not 100% sure on it. The type of the presentation is Nintendo Direct Let's Play. It features various Nintendo employees playing upcoming games, for example Aonuma, Koizumi, Nogami, Takahashi against Furukawa, Miyamoto, Tezuka, Yabuki playing Turf War in Splatoon 3.

Which would throw a wrench into it being labeled as a Partner Direct
This is the only thing the leaker said, 4 hours before the Xeno3 Direct got announced.
Do partner directs typically cover a wide number of announcements or do they focus on just a few (say 1-4) announcements?

Yeah kind of sounds like a Regular Mini at leastWhich would throw a wrench into it being labeled as a Partner Direct
I’m just gonna add to this, other insiders have dated the direct is specifically on the 29th not the 28th like Nate is saying and PH Brazil said it would take place Wednesday morning at 9am est. Plus he doesn’t know the branding and Nate honestly I don’t think he knows either. He probably just heard a couple 3rd party titles and saw the 3rd party focus article and is assuming a partner. I’m reality none of them truly know what it’s going to be.I'm really not convinced Nintendo will ever do a Partner Showcase Direct again because the brand is toxic, but Partner Showcase Directs exist to fulfill third party obligations when Nintendo isn't doing normal Directs. I don't think that there is a compelling case to be made that Nintendo just won't do any first party presentation this summer, but it is at least possible they could be doing a nonstandard one that doesn't have as much room for third party announcements in it, such as a hardware showcase.
Tbf Nate hinted towards a solid Showcase IIRC. Probably what the games he heared about are interesting, somehow. Let's Hope for the bestWhile I’m not gonna lose my mind or anything if it’s a mediocre showing, I’ve learned to not trust any insiders as to the quality of the show. Has nothing to do with a lack of trust in them, it’s just that a good showing for one person might be a bad one for another. The recent Xbox showcase is a prime example of this.
This + Xenoblade 3 trailer titled "teaser" is the strongest evidence of the Direct being something other than a Partner.
This is the only thing the leaker said, 4 hours before the Xeno3 Direct got announced.
Hell, both Niers! I just finished Replicant and I feel like that would be an even easier port than Automata. Bring them both so the Nintendo audience can be prepared for the reveal of Nier 3.
- Nier Automata coming to Switch
Xenoblade 3 Direct Part 2This + Xenoblade 3 trailer titled "teaser" is the strongest evidence of the Direct being something other than a Partner.
Let's be honest no one knows right now what it's going to be. It could be a Mini or a Partner Showcase.So now we are going with the Idea of a Mini? How did that came from?
2020 would like to have a word with youLet's be honest no one knows right now what it's going to be. It could be a Mini or a Partner Showcase.
Yeah this is kind of a big deal. We might be getting a Mini direct on Tuesday morning

It depends how you interpret "except for a final trailer."Yeah kind of sounds like a Regular Mini at least
