Posted by an italian (me)It's a little funny seeing a tweet in spanish of a flyer in french being posted in an english forum.
Raccoon threadmarked Teletubbies but not my theory on why September 1st. I can't.I wonder if Teletubbies can broadcast the Direct on their stomach. I hope this comment gets lost.
Edit: Whoever threadmarked this browses Famiboards on a Teletubby.
I made the right call on both countsRaccoon threadmarked Teletubbies but not my theory on why September 1st. I can't.

Why there is going to be a Nintendo Direct on September 1st
@LukasManak22 if you had had a good answer to this question I would've threadmarkedwhy not???
And you all thought the N64 NSO pipeline was slow. They’re going to do a VB game every quarter to spread it out over the next 4 years.Virtual Boy on NSO will be the real highlight of the Direct
Nothing to Grubb about this, it's good stuff.Why there is going to be a Nintendo Direct on September 1st
Having Direct in September is not matter of if but rather when. In this post I will tell you why will team September 1st win.
There has been September Direct every single year since 2016, I am listing here every date when Direct happened and next to it when Tokyo Game Show was taking place in that year.
September 1st 2016TGS starting on September 15th September 13th 2017 TGS starting on September 21st September 13th* 2018 TGS starting on September 20th
*Direct was delayed due to earthquake in Japan, it was pushed back by one week to September 13th from September 6th.
September 4th 2019 TGS starting on September 14th September 17th 2020 TGS starting on September 23st September 23th 2021 TGS starting on September 30th September xx 2022 TGS starting on September 15th
As you can all see, all of the Directs took place before the TGS started so that Nintendo could announce games from their partners that they can showcase at TGS. So we are looking for a Direct that takes place before September 15th. All the Directs took place around 1 or 2 weeks before TGS started.
But we can’t just look at past dates and figure out what will happen, that’s not how Nintendo works.
This week is empty, yes some might say that the Direct this week will interrupt Splatoon’s marketing and that might be true but am not really supporting this logic. Because if the Direct takes place on September 1st (2nd in Japan and EU) that is one whole week before Splatoon launches. Usually when Direct ends Nintendo will tweet about the games that were featured there for one or two days and that’s it. They don’t look back and say „Hey look, here is another reminder that you saw new BOTW2 trailer 4 days ago“ and so on.
I would say the Direct taking place in the Splatoon week this is also not a good spot, since you need to put out reviews for Splatoon. Going by last of their major releases the embargo for Strikers dropped on Wednesday while the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was Tuesday so it will be either 6th Tuesday or 7th Wednesday for reviews. That leaves a very little possibility to announce or air Direct on these dates. There is also a Apple Event happening on 7th and rumored Sony showcase on 8th. I would guess that Nintendo don’t care since they held a Direct in September 2017/8 day after Apple event but am just posting this for full context. The Direct also can't take place on 8th since that would already be 9th in JP and EU and I think doing Direct on Splatoon 3 release date is literally out of the question that's for sure.
One last week that is possible is second week of September from Monday 12th to Wednesday 14th (TGS starts on the 15th but Direct imo can’t take place in JP the same date as TGS starts). Some people say it will happen since Splatoon 3 will be out by then. If we exclude all possible days that week we really come out with one single date and that is.
Announcement on Monday 12th.
Direct taking place on Tuesday 13th in US (14th midnight in most of Europe and 14th in the morning in Japan).
Sounds good.
But I have one big problem with this date.
Direct would take place just one single day before TGS starts. One day imo isn’t enough for a titles announced in the Direct to then showcase at TGS next day. If it would be 3 to 4 days I would be on team that week, but the one day window is just so small that this opporunity is basically non existent.
And that brings me to the actual date of the Direct.
September 1st.
Announcement taking place on August 31st at 23:00 JST for a show on September 1st in NA, 2nd midnight CEST and 2nd morning in Japan.
If you may be wondering if it's problem that the Direct announcement will be different month than the Direct itself. This isn't the problem. As shown in the past:
September 1st 2016 Direct announced last day of August, April 1st 2015 Direct announced last day in March, Smash Ultimate Direct on November 1st 2018 announced in last day of October and list goes on and on.
Also it will never be week of Splatoon because of reviews. If the reviews drop on Tuesday they can't announce Direct on Tuesday 6th. And if they try to announce Direct on Wednesday 7th that will already be air date 9th in Japan (fucking Splatoon's release date).
Last but not least shout out to all of the other 65 people who also voted for team this week. We got this. See you on Wednesday.
Kids nowadays have it so good what with Bluey, the best television program ever made, being the premiere kids showNext time, add Barney the dinosaur or Blue's Clues to your theories.
VB Wario Land would unironically be pretty cool to see rereleasedAnd you all thought the N64 NSO pipeline was slow. They’re going to do a VB game every quarter to spread it out over the next 4 years.
I just simply believed that one single day is just too less for them. Seems like they will show just few if any games that would actually be showcased by TGS partners. Nintendo gonna be Nintendo.@LukasManak22 if you had had a good answer to this question I would've threadmarked
It's not what you did, you are certainly allowed to question insiders.Still, doesn't mean questions can't be asked. Even jokes can be criticised.
Or hopefully, a long 2 days.gosh, this is gonna be a long two weeks
Just pass the time like I do, spending every waking moment and several non-waking moments taking care of young extremely needy creatures who don't understand what not to chew.gosh, this is gonna be a long two weeks
Nope, the 13th is still before TGSTGS PATTERN IS DEAD
...no?TGS PATTERN IS DEAD

"So you are an insider, huh? Well ain't that something. My wife, she has this insider friend, you know, and she tells me that insiders always have information that is 100% correct. Now, I mean no disrespect sir, but I happened upon some rather peculiar tweets that put your claims in jeopardy. I'm sure is nothing, just a coincidence."
I'll be honest, I don't even know what you're talking about. I just logged in, saw the opportunity for some Columboposting, and seized it.He's just like me fr fr

Which some of us may have taken too far...Wait until people find out about this forum's appreciation for Subway.

why would they waste time on splatoon?It makes more sense to make a Direct after the week of Splatoon 3 since they won't have to waste time in its (little) content.
At this point I'm convinced you come here just to hate on SplatoonIt makes more sense to make a Direct after the week of Splatoon 3 since they won't have to waste time in its (little) content.
when you realize mid-way that your posts makes no sense but you’re addicted to taking LsIt makes more sense to make a Direct after the week of Splatoon 3 since they won't have to waste time in its (little) content.
Mostly to hate on Pokemon actually.At this point I'm convinced you come here just to hate on Splatoon
Not entirely, not entirely.Why is a tomorrow announcement dead?
Both of the games are already 1080p native on Wii U. The only question is if they'll work on them aiming for 60FPS and maybe add a better lighting to TP or just make "ROM dumps".Rehashing one of the Wii U Zelda ports is maybe possible, but I don't think the timing is really right for that until we have hardware that can run the games at >1080p. Doing both of them at the same time just seems completely out of the question. The only scenario I can think of where that kinda makes sense is if they're the originals, emulated, rather than ports of the Wii U versions, but even then I'd expect them to be spaced out a bit.
How is that single player working?when you realize mid-way that your posts makes no sense but you’re addicted to taking Ls
Racoons are cute though.I'm just going to say it: I do not like comics very much

Boosting to 60fps would be something, but doesn't address the bigger issue that this just really isn't the time for this sort of release unless BotW 2 has been delayed again.Both of the games are already 1080p native on Wii U. The only question is if they'll work on them aiming for 60FPS and maybe add a better lighting to TP or just make "ROM dumps".
I think 60FPS is likely because Skyward Sword is a generation above TP, needed more reworking (the controls) and still got its 60FPS fix.
Switch will have no problem in getting TP HD at 1080p60. WW HD would have a problem because apparently the physics are capped at 30 or something? Nothing that some work can't fix tho. They did it for SS, they can do for the other two.
