What are the chances that a direct could be this week? I know the main rumour says the direct will take place next week, but I see the most voted for option in the poll of this thread is for Sept 6th-8th so it seems like people think this week is a real possibility.

It’s spaltoon 3 launch week and they’ve already started the countdown tweets. That is going to have the marketing focus this week.

Lol I meant this as a dig towards the Rings of Power prologue (which covers the same section you've written in like three minutes).

I liked your version, and the show is really good beyond IP shenanigans.
Oh I know, that's why I said "ouch." The Tolkien estate only allowing them the rights to the appendices and not even allowing them to touch anything from The Silmarillion or any other books just hurts.

This looks pretty good to me.

Good balance of reveals.

Your dates are all realistic - just one major addition this side of the New Year with MP.

Yep. I think this could be close. You should get a lottery ticket tonight... !
 
Seems I am not getting a Direct for my birthday tomorrow. 😕 I am sad Nintendo, I wasn't asking for much!!!

🤣🤣🤣

Seems pretty safe outside of Advance Wars. No way they give it a showing like that.

It’ll either be a date thrown in a sizzle reel or just dropped on Twitter.

I feel like most people voted for that option before the week of the 12th rumors started really gaining traction. I was one of them. I now think it is less likely to be this week. As others have mentioned, this is also Splatoon 3's launch week and that seems to be their focus this week.

It would be dishonest and irresponsible if I backed a rumor that I don't have sources for. My sources aren't aware of every project that Nintendo makes. I can easily believe that a Donkey Kong game is coming, but I just don't want to slap my name on every rumor that gets reported. Does that make sense?

For what it's worth, Zippo has recently said stuff that makes me believe he might have good sources. I won't vouch for everything Zippo says, but I wish people didn't badmouth him so much on this site. Unlike Samushunter, I believe Zippo has good intentions, and I wish he posted here on Famiboards.
So I wrote off on reporting on Zippo awhile ago. The reasoning being that it looked like he was throwing everything at the wall and seeing what would stick - he has gotten so much wrong, the list is looking almost 6 to 1 in terms of wrong to correct. Now I know projects get cancelled and I know some things take a long time, but he has stated things in the past like "the lineup of a direct" and then literally none of those things were in the direct.

A lot of the flack he gets is because of stuff like that. It's fine Emily if you want to vouch a little and think he has good intentions and possibly a real source, but the facts are what the facts are. Zippo is wrong 90% of the time, and that's just not a good look.

I don't mind if he posted here and if he did, maybe we would get more transparency on his rumors. But as someone who reports on this stuff, Zippo comes off as someone just making it up. Funny Samus Hunter was mentioned - she vanished (as did sylux hunter) on July 19th and hasn't been seen since.

Great, all I can think about relating to the Direct is actually wanting to see a dual release for Fire Emblem after seeing that dumb post from earlier lmao. Like what Pokemon does except it'll be two entirely different games but related in some way in which only the Jugdral duo (FE4/Genealogy and Thracia/FE5) and Elibe duo aka Binding Blade/FE6 and Blazing Blade/FE7 would be doable :>

I apologize for taking so long to respond to everyone. For the record, I do read everyone's posts. Please don't think I'm ignoring you.



You would be extremely surprised to hear which famous Nintendo executives had accounts over at Resetera. I would know this because I approved some of those accounts during my brief 1-year stint as an administrator over there. To protect their privacy, I won't reveal any names or usernames. But the main point is: Nintendo isn't the bubble that people think it is. They do secretly get out there and interact with the fans on the internet.

Over at Era, there were so many instances when Nintendo Era members didn't realize they were arguing with famous Nintendo senior producers. :LOL: Cerium and I would see Nintendo fans telling a senior Japanese Nintendo executive: "You're an idiot. You don't know what you're talking about"... Because they didn't know the user worked at Nintendo. 😬
This is gold.

I had this sneaking suspicion many big name Nintendo people were actually paying attention to the community a bit through anonymity of course and I am glad to have those suspicions confirmed. Good on Nintendo for actually caring more than it seems they do on the surface.

Is there any rumor about it ? Believe me I want to believe but if there’s any rumor about it.
No real rumor, Emily just mentioned a while ago that Nintendo wants to remaster a lot of GameCube games and said something along the lines that most of the ones mentioned in this thread are either being made or greatly considered by Nintendo.

Good riddance, Samus was a clownass lul.

Tho Sylux still seems to be around since he recently retweeted two tweets (one was from Nate) days prior.

This is realistic minus Advance Wars. I'd replace that with a third party exclusive (there's always one).
