News Nintendo Direct announced for September 13th (7 AM PT, 10 AM ET, 3 PM BST, 4 PM CEST)

[LoboRundas]

I haven’t seen anyone explain despite people asking what does this mika person have to do with fe??

I'm guessing they're a character designer from Gust, from a quick check of their twitter

The next new Fire Emblem is again a co-development with KT, Gust specifically, and this person who retweeted the Direct announcement appears to be an artist at Gust.

 

[SirShorse]

I’d be hyped for that.

It says Steam or something in there so it might not be a Direct announcement

 

[Mr_No_U]

1 hour and 7 minutes until I can’t watch the Direct live woooooooooooo

 

[Dark Cloud]

Oh ok. That’s fine. I’ll be hyped for it wherever it’s announced.

Any direct leak rumors? I don’t care how insane

it takes two and fatal frame 4 are very likely to show up

 

[kookycake]

ALMOST TIME EVERYONE!! ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!

 

[big lantern ghost]

Barely slept last night! Not because of the Direct! My kid kept waking up! But I’m still excited!

 

[Riton]

 

[EdFiftyNine]

If this show opens with Metroid and ends with Zelda it’ll be an incredible direct regardless of what’s in-between - although I’m hopeful of some other great stuff in amongst it.

Even if we only get 1 of Zelda / Metroid I’ll be happy.

 

[Bonejack]

Name expecting intensifies

I looked and haven’t found anything with her connected to Gust but rather an illustrator of light novels.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Legit this doesn’t feel real right now. Idk it doesn’t feel like we’re an hour away from a direct that will officially give us the BotW 2 name.

 

[BassForever]

I looked and haven’t found anything with her connected to Gust but rather an illustrator of light novels.

This is what I saw too, but some people seemed very confident.

 

[BY2K]

Don't do this to me

 

[lol]

I looked and haven’t found anything with her connected to Gust but rather an illustrator of light novels.

i'm guessing people are just assuming she's the character designer for the new game but idk if she works for gust

Don't ask me, i'm just relaying info i've read on Twitter. I'm sure there's people here who know better if the person is an artist at Gust or not.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Zelda
Metroid
Mario

The holy trinity will unite in this September Direct

 

[MisterSpo]

Could anybody point me to the Korean leak, and whether or not it's real?

Spoiler

because I predicted Kirby for December and Octopath Traveler 2 for 2023 and both may have leaked but I don't know if they're real

 

[Sparkling Hootle]

gonna have my coffee and bagel, play some splatoon and just wait for the direct!

I forgot to put my coffee cup down on the Keurig and it was my last k-cup

Lost most of it

Costco after the direct

 

[BassForever]

I feel these kinds of threads need a rule where if your posting a tweet that isn't an obvious joke, you should explain who this person is and why their tweet/retweet is important, so the thread isn't bogged down with "who is this" a dozen times.

 

[HockeyBird]

Only an hour and 40 minutes until we can start speculating on the next Direct!

 

[ITSMILNER]

Tbf, he doesn’t specify who’s name

Could be we finally get the name of Sakurai’s pet dog

Kirby leak was fake. It had a release date of December 18th which is a Sunday.

 

[Deleted member 2551]

Smaller games I wish to see in the Direct:

• Sports Story
• HD-2D from Square
• Nice visual novels
• This one

The Kirby leak was not real.

Spoiler: Potential Leaks

Kirby has been confirmed fake iirc.

The other is on this page i think.

Can't wait, feels like it was just yesterday

 

[Keon]

 

[Ramune]

One more hour until Nintendo succeeds at the Not Saying Mother For 40 Whole Minutes Challenge.

 

[MisterSpo]

Thanks gang! Clearly the December game is coming on December 2nd.

 

[Skittzo]

Barely slept last night! Not because of the Direct! My kid kept waking up! But I’m still excited!

Same. Kids are too excited for the direct.

Especially the babies.

 

[MisterSpo]

Dr Toto going hard on hardware?

 

[Bonejack]

Huh? What other name would be there?

Talking about Fire Emblem or something?

I massively doubt this tweet is about Drake.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Why would he say that then? Of course everyone will think BotW 2.

 

[Plum]

Shit, this really creeped up on me. Which is the best kind of wait. A few Splatoon matches and it'll be nearly time

 

[Zumikoi]

Dr Toto going hard on hardware?

MP4 maybe?

 

[Gay Bowser]

Thanks gang! Clearly the December game is coming on December 2nd.

Yes

And it is a Kirby Star Collection and all my dreams will come true

 

[Skittzo]

Dr Toto going hard on hardware?

Huh? Isn't he just saying the name is not BOTW 2?

 

[Dragoncaine]

Hmmmm, if he's not referring to BOTW 2 I wonder what it could be. Prime 4's subtitle? Fire Emblem? New Mario?

 

[Leo]

Huh? What other name would be there?

I think he means the name itself isn't BotW2, not that it isn't the name of the new Zelda game.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Huh? Isn't he just saying the name is not BOTW 2?

Somebody asked if we’ll stop saying BotW 2 and he said it’s not BotW 2

 

[Kyoko]

Don't ask me, i'm just relaying info i've read on Twitter. I'm sure there's people here who know better if the person is an artist at Gust or not.

Regardless of their connection, if she were the next artist for FE, I’d welcome it. FE is a fantasy thing with some medieval stuff but never usually took advantage of the fantasy part that much with small exceptions like Ymir from Heroes. And her artstyle from the looks of it would potentially help with that!

 

[MisterSpo]

Huh? Isn't he just saying the name is not BOTW 2?

No, he's saying there that he wasn't referring to BOTW2 and he doesn't know the name of that. So he's suggesting we'll find out the name of another thing. Switch Pro was the one that came to mind, but Metroid Prime 4 is a possibility.

I'd be beyond surprised if hardware made an appearance.

 

[Hajeman]

Drake + Botw2

 

[kaya bunji]

I refuse to believe BOTW2 won’t exist in 90 minutes. It has seen us through some truly trying times on this planet.

 

[Skittzo]

Somebody asked if we’ll stop saying BotW 2 and he said it’s not BotW 2

Exactly, the name isn't Botw2. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems very clear he's talking about the sequel to BOTW here, and he's saying that the name of the sequel is not BOTW 2, which is obvious.
