I do agree, kinda the opposite of the February 2022 Direct, I came off of it insanely disappointed that the Direct was pretty much a snoozefest, opened by a bad looking sequel to Dark Moon, and just a tease for Animal Crossing when I was so desperate for something big and tangible for 2019 to get excited for. In the end, I loved New Horizons and LM3, and the Direct following it easily became my favourite pre-COVID Switch era Direct.Sep 2022 easily cleared the other recent Sep directs, though I will say 2018 with Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing reveal resulted in two games that actually had immense quality, content, and polish compared to a lot of other "hype" disappointments (Switch Sports, Strikers). Cue the ACNH content jokes, but I played it for 300 hours pretty easily so lol
NoA tweets at any hour, on the hour, sometimes at the half-hour. There's no rhyme or reason.Why has nobody tweeted yet???
Waiting for Xbox to tweet at noon ET about Goldeneye (not a hint, just a joke)Why has nobody tweeted yet???
February 13th 2019
February 17th 2021
February 9th 2022
Can't tweet if you have nothing to revealWhy has nobody tweeted yet???
While this is a good theory it does have some limits like the fact that they had one on February 17th 2021 was simply because it was after Bowser's Fury. It also was 12 days after the earnings. The last year's February Direct was on February 9th and the 9 months results were on 10th. So the report came after the Direct, this basically rules this patern as a whole. So this does not really work. I have a long post planned for tomorrow as to why and which date I think the Direct will be so please look forward to that.We can't make a prediction simply off of previous February direct dates. It seems that they correlate with 9 month earning reports in that it's released about a week after the earnings report is released. For some reason, as a business practice, this is how Nintendo shares their information with shareholders. The last couple of years Nintendo has had a direct roughly a week after the reports. If anyone could dig up the previous 5 years of report dates and cross reference it with the direct dates to see if this pattern is consistent, that would be the best indicator to go by. If my theory is true, then February 15/16th is your best bet for a direct.

The 9 months results were on February 3rd last year actually, so I believe they might want to wait until after this February’s briefing (on the 7th) before they air a Direct. The 8th would be cutting it close, so I believe it’ll be on the 15th.While this is a good theory it does have some limits like the fact that they had one on February 17th 2021 was simply because it was after Bowser's Fury.

Could just as easily be the 9th, but yeah I'm inclined to believe it's either the 2nd or 3rd week of Feb.The 9 months results were on February 3rd last year actually, so I believe they might want to wait until after this February’s briefing (on the 7th) before they air a Direct.

But if it's on February 2nd we could wake up and experience a direct every day for the rest of our livesI'm thinking February 1st, personally. It's a Wednesday like it was last year, it allows Nintendo market Kirby one last time, and it's before the financial stuff. Perfect.
Mario sports title have been better on Switch than the WiiU/3DS era but still room for improvement yes. I think it's mainly their "release with little content and add later for free" that should stop or atleast improve. All games using that have suffered. Splatoon 3, Mario Maker 2, the sports game, animal crossing... etc.
Is there any site to go back and see quickly what was revealed at which direct? A kind of index of Directs?
People often mention the "so-and-so Direct" and I can never remember which was which. Would be nice to have a resource other than the youtube vids themselves.
Hopefully next week the rumors will begin from insiders
That’s the Q&A. I’m looking at their IR calendar and the earnings release was on the 3rd.No, it was on February 10th.
Yea, right now it's radio silence so i doubt it's this week or even next week. It will be 2nd/third week of FebWhen we start to see hints from insiders and journalists and maybe some games getting rated, then we'll know that's likely Direct week
The briefing was on the 10th, the reports were on the 3rd, which is what I was talking about. The main point I was making, and the reason for the cross reference, is that it doesn't seem like they release directs (apart from the one they had in January in 2018 was it?) early then when they release their 9 months ending financial statements. Of course I would love to be wrong this time (hopefully sooner as in next week soon).While this is a good theory it does have some limits like the fact that they had one on February 17th 2021 was simply because it was after Bowser's Fury.

iirc, we didn't get many rumors leading up to last February's direct. I was getting worried that there wouldn't be one because no one was leaking anything. We might not get many leaks leading up to this one
Monolith Soft renovating their website.iirc, we didn't get many rumors leading up to last February's direct. I was getting worried that there wouldn't be one because no one was leaking anything. We might not get many leaks leading up to this one
Yeah, I edited the message immediately afterwards. It will be after no doubt, but am not so sure about it being about the week later. Basically it could be anywhere between 8th and 16th. Am rulling out the week of 24th completely (Kirby). It's either second or third week, nothing else.The briefing was on the 10th, the reports were on the 3rd, which is what I was talking about.

We already know pretty much the entire internal release schedule for the first half of 2023. Frankly, if we have a Direct in February, I'm not sure it will be a general Direct. Especially since we can imagine that big announcements will take place for the return of E3.
Ehh, the 2022 Direct felt off for other reasons too. I didn't like the new voiceover, Pikmin Bloom was talked about for way too long, there were too many farming social sims (this is coming from someone who loves Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing), and Pikmin 4 and Tears of the Kingdom had very small teasers. Not great.September 2018 was a great direct, 2022 was poor but that’s due to expectations being set high due to rumours (Metroid Prime, WW/TP, Zelda Blowout)
I swear someone on Fami kept saying it was gonna be on the 9th just for the hell of it, who was that again?iirc, we didn't get many rumors leading up to last February's direct.

The tweet is a hint. February uno direct.Judging by Nintendo's last tweet, they just want us to forget about the Direct and play Uno

The actual Bloom segment only lasts 1 minute and 45 seconds. It's nowhere as long as people make it to be.they talked about pikmin bloom for just long enough, it only felt long because they sped through everything else
As much as there were an abnormal amount of farming sims, I'm glad it's giving usGod yeah, this was the one that had all the farming sims wasn’t it…..

it really is because modern headline directs go at such a blistering paceThe actual Bloom segment only lasts 1 minute and 45 seconds. It's nowhere as long as people make it to be.
It was also a fantastic bait-and-switch. Like I could feel the groans of the community over Miyamoto talking about a mobile game in a Direct, and then wham, he hits us with the good shit.The actual Bloom segment only lasts 1 minute and 45 seconds. It's nowhere as long as people make it to be.
