Okay that's a good line for the podcastDon’t hate the player. Hate the Nate
We have decided to re-reexamine the development structure and change it again. Specifically, Tanabe will work in collaboration with the studio that originally began development on Metroid Prime 4, Bandai Namco, and restart development from the beginning. Third time's the charm!
Welp, we've finally made it.* Hidden text: cannot be quoted. *
That's right. The Direct is going to be that exact date!Welp, we've finally made it.

I don't doubt this is real, but do you have a source?As we don't have anything substantial to discuss for now, a little hopium with the approval today of the Ace Attorney (逆裁) trademark in Japan:
Remember that this can means anything, including NOTHING.
Hi Nate! What will be the topic of your podcast this week? Sony or Nintendo? Thx!Just saw another 'Direct Date' video... my god. There have been more "rumor/leak" Direct dates this month than there will be actual Direct presentations in 2023.
What did you think the Fami from Famiboards meant? That's right. FamilyThat's right. The Direct is going to be that exact date!
I am so glad that all of us here at Famiboards are all insiders at Nintendo. It makes it truly special.

Do you think we will see something from Monolith Soft at the beginning or at the end of the Nintendo Direct like they do every year since 2020?
Maybe Baten Kaitos?
They will show DLC wave 3 for sure because it has to be released by May and it could be the first time Monolith Soft appears 2 times in the same Nintendo Direct if they show Baten Kaitos (I'm not counting TotK).Well, i hope they show Baten Kaitos. Even if it's just the logo with a "2023" date and nothing else, i just want the rumor to be true.
And if they don't show BK, then i'm pretty sure Monolith will still be part of the Direct. First, because they surely gonna show the next Xeno 3 DLC and second, because they showe Zelda and we all know Monolith also worked on that one. ;D
I don't doubt this is real, but do you have a source?
I can't find it anywhere on the internet.
I now want to be in an alternate reality where we got a more substantial TotK trailer in the September 2022 direct, but it was to show off the games new, extensive farming system.Can't wait for a new Nintendo Farming Game Direct!

it makes sense and i can feel it for the week of 7th februaryWhen is the next Nintendo Direct gonna be
In this post I will try to explain to you why and when I think the next Nintendo Direct is gonna be.
Note: This is only my opinion, you are allowed to have your own. It’s called discussion.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Let’s start with analysing every single week.
Monday January 30th to Friday February 3rd.
Every single first year‘s General Direct in the Switch era happened after Nintendo released their nine months earnings:
Earnings released on Janaury 31st 2018 – General Direct happened on March 8th 2018
(you can argue that there was a Mini Direct on January 11th, before the earnings but it was just a Mini and full of ports and Aces, it was not a full General Presentation).
Earnings released on January 31st 2019 – General Direct happened on February 13th 2019.
Earnings released on February 1st 2021 – General Direct happened on February 17th 2021.
Earnings released on February 3rd 2022 – General Direct happened on February 9th 2022.
This year earnings are releasing on February 7th 2023 – General Direct will happen after that date.
So we can safely write off the first week fromJan 30th to February 3rd.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Let’s go with the second week, February 6th to February 10th.
As said above, it will be after the earnings so after February 7th. We have then left a February 8th and 9th but more on that later.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
We are now in the third week, February 13th to February 17th.
Some might say that the third week is perfect one, but I don’t think so. Here’s why:
Splatoon 3 new season theory, while good on paper it does not proove much anything.
Splatoon 3 Chill season was announced on November 14th and released 17 days later.
The fact that we only have this one Splatoon pattern to go to can’t give us many details. If Direct would be on this date it will be roughly 14 days from new season announcement to release but as said, we have only one pattern to go from so scratching this too.
What we however have on that week is Super Nintendo World opening in Hollywood on Friday, February 17th. Yes, I know they might don’t care but I could see them promoting heavily that their US version of theme park will open 2-3 days from now rather than doing Direct on that time. But again this is only for the US but that’s still one of their biggest market so.
There is also a Octopath Traveler 2 demo that will surely get announced and released in this Direct. Doing a demo just a one week before this game releases seems weird, they always had the bigger gaps between them.
___________________________________________________________________________________
4th week of February from February 20th to 24th.
Not only is this late as hell, since Zelda is releasing in mid May but it’s also a week of Kirby and Octopath (I know, they are not publishing it this time but the fact that it was revealed first by them gives you a good idea that they will promote it).
_______________________________________________________________________________________
With all this said, there is only one possible date of a Direct.
Second week, after earnings on February 7th.
But it’s gonna be Wednesday 8th or Thursday 9th?
That’s why we have to bring the dates to the table.
April 12th 2017 - Wednesday
September 13th 2017 - Wednesday
March 8th 2018 - Thursday
September 13th 2018 - Thursday
February 13th 2019 - Wednesday
September 4th 2019 - Wednesday
February 17th 2021 - Wednesday
September 23th 2021 - Thursday
February 9th 2022 - Wednesday
September 13th 2022 – Tuesday
From 10 Directs during the Switch era, 6 of them were on Wednesday. You know why it is Wednesday in the US most of the time? Because the global data traffic is one of the biggest on Wednesdays. The US market has the biggest viewership, that’s why it was Wednesday most of the time.
Yes, the last one was on Tuesday but that was because it was only last possible date after release of Splatoon and also before the start of TGS.
As you can see every February Direct always happened on Wednesday so I don’t see why it would be changed now.
Announcement on February 7th 23:00 JST for a Direct on Wednesday 8th US, 23:00 CET Europe and morning of February 9th JP.
But you said it will be announced after the earnings!
Yes, earnings are releasing in around 8AM CET on February 7th while the Direct will be announced 7 hours from that.
Or they will announce it on Wednesday 8th for a Direct on Thursday 9th. I don’t know.
There is also the fact that each Direct after the earnings was done week or more after that. But I don’t know, the Octopath demo just week before the game seems weird. And also does the Super Nintendo World Opening in that week.
The conclusion to the story is that I don’t fucking now. I really don’t. It will be second or third week. Nohing else. Make your own assumptions.
Just kidding.
The fact that they waited till 3rd week of February (17th) 2021 was just because it was after release of 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.
It’s the second week. Either 8th or 9th.
Thank you and goodbye.
Yeah. There should always be criticism, but not dogpilingFound it a little weird to see people slagging off Nintendo Prime’s channel considering he’s a member here, I get people can have their opinion but it seemed a bit harsh.

Team January, I think we have to focus our energy on claiming the announcement win at this point.

I would be shocked if anyone was expecting anything before February at this pointFinal nail in the coffin for Team January you’d imagine…
They will show DLC wave 3 for sure because it has to be released by May and it could be the first time Monolith Soft appears 2 times in the same Nintendo Direct if they show Baten Kaitos (I'm not counting TotK).
Would be cool if the first thing they show is the Baten Kaitos remake.
That would be the ultimate schadenfreude if all the Team February people lived in timezones where the direct aired on 1/31 and all the Team January people lived in timezones where the direct aired on 2/1I would be shocked if anyone was expecting anything before February at this point
at earliest they'd announce on the 31st in some time zones
