I just finished catching up on this thread. I will be happy if the direct is earlier then midnight CEST, but if it is a mini, it would be a monkey paw situation for me (early direct, but mini without BOTW2 info). I still hoping it is a general and it ears earlier then normal so they can have a Three-house segment, hopefully with Pokรฉmon SV gameplay, and not likely but would be huge, BOTW2 gameplay๐Ÿคฉ.

I'm definitely gonna delude myself into believing this is strictly correlated to a potential Direct. Can't be anything else. Nope.

On that note, I hope Jason has a nice time off. :)

plot twist; the direct is focused exclusively on the mario movie and is presented by chris pratt and charlie day

Iโ€™d watch that

but only if Charlie Day buries Chris Pratt alive on camera and the only thing Chris Pratt gets to say is (muffled screaming)

So I am going to cross post this here. For everyone to see. Obviously take with a grain of salt.

I disappeared from Twitter, after becoming concerned over some DM's.

Check with Nate, Emily and the other posters in here. (Some of which work at Nintendo and a couple of gaming companies). I am not going to "out" people on here. But, Emily and Nate could comment on it.


***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Several items to speak of, in different areas.

Source 1

1st) Snitch I was told is getting his information mostly from getting access to Youtube videos prior to them being upload for public view. I know this is a working theory on these boards, apparently it is also the theory of some employees of the gaming companies. As well as Famiboards, Resetera, Reddit, and GAF.

2nd) The completed games Nintendo is allegedly "stockpiling" is not as many as people think. According to a developer. Big 1st party teams are mostly hard at work on Drake. Some games for Drake, some for Switch.

3rd) Drake = HOME. H-O-M-E with a twist. Similar to Vita & PS3. Some form of reveal this Fall. Maybe a YouTube trailer like Switch?

4th) I don't know what games are in the Direct. I do not have access to that information. Very curious about Goldeneye remaster, seems to be a lot of confusion here on what is included and if cross play, gameplay changes, etc.

I have heard more MS games are coming, don't think it is Gamepass related.. Not sure if Drake or Switch.


NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Source 2

1st) I have heard another gaming industry stopping merger will be announced by years end. This announcement will give investors and consumers insight that gaming isn't being absorbed because some companies are in an "arms race". In actuality, the "gaming industry is crashing".
Developers and industry people are looking for "life boats" and trying to get as much money as possible.
Everyone realizes the industry is in great upheaval. This will be THE TALKING POINT of the Fall/Winter for gaming. Much like Activision/MS was.

Gaming is not going away. Business models need to change. Expect $75-$100 AAA games if microtransactions go away. More evergreen games, less annualized titles. Based on the conversation I had.

2nd) The spotaneous Direct model is dying. Some 3rd parties are coordinating to announce games every 3 months to correspond with financial reporting requirements.

This will give investors, financial reporting and consumers an idea of when to expect information while still being able to be surprised with the actual content.

Some of these announcements will be able to be timed closely to current gaming events. TGS for example.
Assuming this is accurate, you should expect Nintendo Directs, Sony State of Play and Xbox events to pivot towards this model.

No more wild speculation on when it could be. You will have a window when companies will speak to developers, investors, consumers. Even if, we don't know what the announcements are. You will have an idea of information windows better than we do now.

I remember your twitter account, rumours and business talk but what I don't is if it was legit.

That really sounds like a fever dream. i mean, did you see the sales and earnings of those companies? "crash" my ass.
And its not even a niche interest like back in the 80ties, its a core pillar of our culture (just look at fortnite....)
What could be is that some companies realize that they have misscalculated and that THEY are seeking for help, but for shure not the industry.

And a switch home...i really dont see it. Or lets say it this way:
if, then only as an aditional cheaper SKU to a normal release. Like: Switch Pro for 450โ‚ฌ and switch home for 300โ‚ฌ.
Since we asume that the PRO will increase in price and they maybe thought: for the original switch it did not make sense to have a marginally cheaper sku, but here the gap gets big enough.

Mind you, i still dont belive it. if anything, they will market the normal switch as the "Entry" model.

Is this Moose person someone with a credible track record? They name dropped Emily and Nate so I assume they'll at some point comment "they have good sources" or "lol no". None of what they said about Drake makes any sense to me.

Exactly.
 
In exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes @nintendoamerica will tweet the following:

Tune in 9/13 at 3 p.m. PT for a #NintendoDirect livestream featuring roughly 45 minutes of information focused mainly on #NintendoSwitch games launching this winter and a deep look at the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Delete the "deep look" and it could work.

In the Wii U/3DS era, there were plenty of Directs that aired 9 or 10 AM. Could still be pretty content rich.

IIRC, the two that revealed Majora's Mask 3D and Fire Emblem Fates were early in the morning.
