Yes and a lot of other things before. Everything he does seem to be made to expose and show how pathetic and unreliable fake leakers are, the likes of samushunter or Markosomething. he is a one of a kind one lol

Bayonetta 3 is one of the first games introduced in a Nintendo direct.

That the release date and trailer now dropped on Twitter is a sure sign, that there will be not a big direct in the near future.

There are many game releases until October, Nintendo will and should not want to take away the attention by announcing games for November/December first few month if 2023 now.

Without the Zelda and Advance Wars delays, we'd have 14 for the year; add on the 1-2 Switch sequel and we're up to 15; Prime HD would be 16. 15 of those games would be retail releases, too. Even without many more reveals, it's not hard to see 2022 having been closer to the usual standard without delays happening. As much as Nintendo have done a good job at consistently shipping software through the pandemic (even though they leant on Old Stuff for significant stretches), delays can easily happen and throw them off their stride a little. I guess the difference this year is most of their output is a) new and b) exciting for the online crowd, so it's getting a lot of positive attention online and in enthusiast communities like this. I've said for a while the year isn't stacked for Nintendo; it's strong, and consistent, and fairly varied (if a little RPG heavy, but that's Switch for you). It'd be interesting to see if Nintendo have anything to compensate for the potential loss of both Advance Wars and 1-2 Switch sequel; the Ukraine conflict and poor focus group testing are two wildcards. Granted, neither game would've been leant on as a big deal (especially not Advance Wars), but having genre and brand variety is pretty key to Nintendo's output on Switch.

Advance Wars, Prime HD, and the 1-2 Switch sequel may yet make it out in 2022. I think you're right to say we get more smaller titles too - I'm surprised Kirby is the only eShop title from Nintendo so far this year; still hoping, probably in vain, that the annual Zelda fix is an eShop only (or NSO bonus?) Four Swords Adventures HD release with local and online multiplayer at a lower price point (i.e. not $60 or £50). I'm also going to (once again) predict Style Savvy, because eventually I will be correct and then I will claim to be a prophet.

Jeff said last month that it was on track for November. Emily also floated the possibility of a November release a while back, but I'm not sure if that was certainty as opposed to a guess.

Delays has always been a part, every year. And yet, there's always those 15+ games and I dont think this year will be any different. So I dont really think it makes any difference that BotW2 and possibly AW is out of 2022 - Nintendo in it's current form and shape, has 'replacements' to go - big or small entry.

Nothing can replace BotW2, but letting a game of that calibre slip and miss the holiday and likely the FY to certainly isnt taken lightly at Nintendo, that's like 10M+ units and 600M+ revenue at the very least - they cant replace it, but they can soften the blow.

And like I said, I dont necessarily think there's more big games coming, but I would be very surprised if there arent smaller releases coming in between the other ones. Think Big Brain Academy, Game Builder Garage, Fitness Boxing, The Stretchers and so on..

And like you said, Style Savvy might be one of those games that could fit that bill, it feels like a good fit. Perhaps another Indie colab? Or just a publishing deal with an external studio.

Nintendo tweeted Kirby's release date before the February Direct. They tweeted the release dates for Splatoon 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 before the Partner Showcase in June. In last year's September Direct, they announced a brand new first party game for 2022 and showed the first footage of another game that won't launch until October 2022. Needing to advertise holiday season titles didn't prevent September Directs in 2017, 2018, or 2019, either; all of which featured announcements or updates for the following calendar year.

There is zero evidence right now that Nintendo won't do a September Direct. Even in 2020, they held a Mario Direct and a Partner Showcase. With Tokyo Game Show still on, it's sensible to expect some sort of Direct in September.

Nintendo taking on Good-Feel's new IP for maximum exposure would be fun and also I really want that game to come out sometime this year. But yeah, indie collaborations would be fun because they'd result in new and interesting options.
 
Kind of unrelated, but Nintendo's got their Japan Expo going on in France, and man...that looks like a blast:




The Nintendo France Twitter account is also streaming it live on Twitch, and will be tweeting out things through the expo. I think they'll have some sort of new Xenoblade 3 footage too, which is pretty cool!

EDIT: Not THEIR Japan Expo, their participation! Just to clarify that above, haha!
 
New Pokemon trailer today, please

I'm assuming press releases are scheduled to go out regardless of the status of any social media websites. If they are even dropping anything today.

Lol, Nintendo wanted to upload a new Splatoon 3 trailer with apartments to drafts but instead they shut down Twitter. Splatoon is way too big for this world.

I've been to Japan Expo in 2019 for the world premiere of the first 10 minutes of the last Evangelion movie.

That convention is the best in the world for japenese media. There is so much stuff and always incredible guests, I highly recommend a visit to any European.
 
This "Twitter Direct" might be the biggest insult by a major gaming company in the past decade. I literally screamed "FUCK YOU" at my screen. I knew it wasn't set in stone that they would do a Mini Direct or something but the hype they created made me think they were just going to surprise us with it anyway. Absolutely unacceptable to do this to us. Once they knew Mini Direct was expected, they should've just done it.
 
If Twitter is down, Nintendo can’t post the new Pokémon Trailer.

The only option is to make a Direct, come on Nintendo.

But you have to see French…
 
For God's sake, Nintendo REALLY needs to drop Advance Wars already.

I don't even care about the remake or franchise but this delay can't be good for an already niche series.

I'm not really expecting anything more from Nintendo this week. Maybe Pokemon, but I don't think it's time for Mario Kart yet.

Oh wow, that seems like it was a really great experience! It sounds like an amazing convention, and I've never heard of it before this past week or so. It sounds huge and really, really well done! Thanks for sharing your experience of it!
