thats the spirit Nintendo UK.
It's still a big deal and different brands will make their own judgments about whether they want to go ahead with things - they haven't announced anything yet so they have a bit of freedom to wait if they feel like it is in their interest to do anything this week. I suspect if the direct is happening it will still happen yeah (from a Western perspective, not sure about Japan's outlook)The funeral isn’t happening for another 10 days. It’ll be fine. The direct will proceed.
I dunno, she’s probably pretty preoccupied down there.This is so disrespectful of them. I just know Liz is looking up at us right now and shaking her head in disbelief.
Yeah I agree. People doubting a Direct are really disgusting.Such vile answers.
She's playing Turf War on Heaven's servers nowThis is so disrespectful of them. I just know Liz is looking up at us right now and shaking her head in disbelief.
Currently being spawn-camped by Diana.She's playing Turf War on Heaven's servers now
and hopefully by all the oppressed and murdered victims of colonization.Currently being spawn-camped by Diana.
I'm not Greek, but I am pretty sure it was all US backing, not some king or queen. Probably also explains the horrible military juntas after.Such vile answers. Really glad that in my country-Greece- despite not having monarchy, our former King and Queen played such a pivotal role in the defeat of the communist coup, after WW2.
Only like 10 people in the UK know what a Direct is anywayI can guarantee that people in the UK will still buy Switch games if the direct was today.
Really funny……Yeah I agree. People doubting a Direct are really disgusting.
Well if it's just first party games and they aren't releasing until November onwards, they can hang fire a couple more weeks. Heck they could even delay the launches of these games if necessary. It's only an issue for third parties who are operating on their own schedules and who see the Tokyo Game Show as crucial to their own plans. Even there I expect contingencies to be in place.
It'll be tight for sure, but Nintendo don't want the Daily Mail screeching 'Disrespectful company Nintendo announces new Zelda game DON'T THEY KNOW THE QUEEN IS DEAD!?!?' And believe me, they'll be looking for people to screech at.
The victory was a multi factored issue and particularly Queen Freiderice was adamant in her decision to protect young children from being dragged by the Reds Fascists in military camps.I'm not Greek, but I am pretty sure it was all US backing, not some king or queen. Probably also explains the horrible military juntas after.
As for being on topic: Sucks if they are delaying it for one persons death that has absolutely no effect on Nintendos bottomline, I can guarantee that people in the UK will still buy Switch games if the direct was today. Hope the rumours aren't true.
Cool cool.Such vile answers. Really glad that in my country-Greece- despite not having monarchy, our former King and Queen played such a pivotal role in the defeat of the communist coup, after WW2.
Even the Daily Mail will kneel if a new Ryza game is announced.It'll be tight for sure, but Nintendo don't want the Daily Mail screeching 'Disrespectful company Nintendo announces new Zelda game DON'T THEY KNOW THE QUEEN IS DEAD!?!?' And believe me, they'll be looking for people to screech at.
As a half-Greek, it’s always been a disappointment that the majority of Greeks i’ve met are morons.Such vile answers. Really glad that in my country-Greece- despite not having monarchy, our former King and Queen played such a pivotal role in the defeat of the communist coup.
Care to elaborate?Cos I am pretty sure we haven’t met.As a half-Greek, it’s always been a disappointment that the majority of Greeks i’ve met are morons.
At the risk of derailing the thread, im gonna make this my last reply on this issue.The victory was a multi factored issue and particularly Queen Freiderice was adamant in her decision to protect young children from being dragged by the Reds Fascists in military camps.
No it wasn’t. Do your history lesson. I am referring to the Greek Civil war which ended in 1949.At the risk of derailing the thread, im gonna make this my last reply on this issue.
No. I am pretty sure it was all Operation Gladio.
I agree that people should respect this moment, by not making any dehumanizing comment. With that said, people die everyday. Heads of state die frequently too. So I don't see why her death should have anything to do with this direct or any non-UK company's marketing tbh. I respect that a lot of people in the UK are mourning, but the rest of the world isn't paying any attention to that, nor should they, as they have their own government officials.If I may say so, Some of the comments in this thread and sections of social media are downright vile and mindless, if not disrespectful. Whether you knew her personally or not, or agreed or disagreed with the idea of the institution of the Royal Family, HM Queen Elizabeth II was born an innocent child, like everybody else. She didn't decide what she was born into, and when she started her reign, she gave 70 good years of her life to that cause. She had a long life, and saw a great deal in the world - Personally, I feel that dedicating to something for what's effectively a lifetime, with personal sacrifices, to have an overwhelming sense of duty to it merits some degree of respect.

She had a long life, and saw a great deal in the world - Personally, I feel that dedicating to something for what's effectively a lifetime, with personal sacrifices, to have an overwhelming sense of duty to it merits some degree of respect. But on a human level, she was also a Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother, Sister, and as of last year, a Widow to someone she loved for about 73 years - Imagine those you hold dearest in your life, your family, your friends, then one day, they're not here, and there's a void in your life which can't be filled. Or, as we saw last year, she sat in a cathedral, alone, in the midst of a pandemic - it's the so-called "small things". Nobody by your side to offer the affection you might need in those moments, but at the same time, the world's eyes on you, and the pressure to "put on a brave face". The heightened sense of loss of intimacy that would follow, the lack of private space to come to terms with grief. I think we can all relate to loss, and if you've been fortunate not to have experienced it yet, I hope you will at least understand the sadness of others, and develop a semblance of empathy. Yesterday, some kids learned that their Great Nana died on a week where they might have returned to school. Two grandsons learned that their Nana died days after the 25th anniversary of their Mother's death - On a human level, those are levels of trauma and grief I wouldn't wish on anybody. I experienced this with my father, aged 9, and let me tell you, 31 years later, I still grieve him because grief doesn't really go away. Last month, I lost a relative, who passed in his sleep. Sometimes death strikes unexpectedly, too. While it's true that all of our times will come one day, no matter how prepared one might be for it, it doesn't make loss easier, and the absence can sometimes become something some people struggle with. Grief has a way of tapping you on the shoulder from time to time and saying "I'm here". It becomes a travel companion in life's journey. That's something the youngest of that family will remember forever, and their elders will be reminded of. So, whether you liked her or not, that isn't the point of what's being said here, but it's clear that she meant a lot to many people - Nobody has to "perform grief", and if they don't feel sad, that's OK, too. But one can, at least, read the room, and see that, for many, they might take some time for (personal) reflection. My hope for her, is that she can rest well. So, Please, be mindful of those who were affected in some way, and take a moment to reflect on those who mean the most to you in your lives. I also hope that when you experience a loss, others will show you the same humanity. Tell people you love them. Tell them frequently. Show them through your actions, too, and cherish the memories you've built together, because when the time comes that you might grieve, they could offer you some comfort, strength and healing. Do the things you love, that you want to do, and hopefully find fulfilment in ways you won't get by waiting on rumour mills, then getting angry at what was never confirmed in the first place. When the time comes that you won't be here, I hope the same memories might help you to sleep in a better peace.
As for the rumoured Direct, it is just that, a rumour, based on the timing of previous years. It doesn't mean we'll get one this time around, and we're not entitled to Directs. But if there was one, and there is a delay, it would be perfectly understandable. You have backlogs. You have games you can play right now. Some of the games you own have replay value. See to your game libraries. It's not as if you'll be able to play anything announced in a Direct right now, anyway, unless it drops later that night on the eShop.
I stand corrected about Operation Gladio. But my earlier assessment is still correct. US backing was it.No it wasn’t. Do your history lesson. I am referring to the Greek Civil war which ended in 1949.
I laughed so hard at that part.Did someone just call being born into the Royal Family to be waited on hand and foot "a lifetime of sacrifice" because lol

In the same way that USSR, Yugoslavia,Albania etc backed the red fascists coup/revolution.. Anyways, I won’t derail the thread no more. At least you recognized your earlier assessments.I stand corrected about Operation Gladio. But my earlier assessment is still correct. US backing was it.

If Queen Liz had any nonce sense, then Prince Andrew would have been out on his arse years ago.So far this 'rumour' (as in: guesswork) sounds like utter nonsense.
I don't get it. Was the video not private before, or is that in the Direct playlist?
sorry bud but I think “vile and mindless” describes a lot more of what the monarchy has ever done than those who are gleefully disrespecting the figurehead who killed their families, hollowed their homes, and maintained and forwarded the kind of colonial bullshit that buries mountains of children on a “rough day” and is at least pervasively destructive on a good dayvile and mindless, if not disrespectful
