It's exactly the kind of thing they would (re)announce in a Direct if they were talking about NSO already. And for other regions it's not like they have to say "they're back!", they can just say "available now, check the website for details." In NA that will coincide with a Twitter post and everything will point back to page on the website with the details.

assuming the outlet/source is reliable, this would suggest Nintendo's got a June Direct in the works, no? then again, it's not as if Nintendo hasn't been the ruin of previous hot leak streaks in the past
That could easily be announced on Twitter or a Partners Directwait a sec

Nintendo not being at E3 means they won't have a physical presence at the event which the news is about. They can very well have a Direct around that timeframe if it suits their marketing plans.
was it not already announced? I saw it on their site around the time of the initial tweet about e3, I think Geoff just smartly doubled down on their PR as the smart man he is knowing people would quote tweet it lolol
We serve doom here, sir.
We know that. E3 100% guaranteed a full direct. That’s the point of people’s despair.
right, I think people are antsy about them not doing a Direct, particularly in the context of Robinson's comment about Nintendo not having enough major releases to show
lmao I saw this name and got chills / angry
I honestly have no idea what doom and gloom news you're referring too unless you're only talking about rumors in which case I just personally can't get worked up by rumors any more. I don't understand why people can't wait until official news is given to get an actual big picture view of Nintendo's plans. There's a direct likely in the next few weeks. What's the point of getting worked up over assumptions at this point?
Well, it also went from having zero views and comments to having a bunch, which could have been flagged in analytics.
I'm pretty sure I have said those exact words and I'm happier than a pig in slop at all these wacky developments
I'm in the same boat. The hardware stuff and this really don't mean much for me. The e3 thing is whatever really. There could be a general, there may not be. We'll see what they announce at the next direct to have a better idea, I guess. Last june there really wasn't a need for a general, imo. There may not be this year either.
Wouldn't be partners since it's first party. Source mentioned E3, may be speculation/assumption on their end, but it seems bigger than Twitter drop
Yeah all of the rumors are starting to get to me especially concerning new hardware but if it really is true that Nintendo is going to into a lull after TOTK when it comes to Major game releases then at least that would point to new hardware being on the horizon
Iwata and company was making decisions at that time. Also, this sets up for Switch 2 coming early 2024. With really no major titles this holiday, Nintendo won’t want to go long like that to Switch 2.
yeah the claim of not having enough for a booth is.. silly
it's funny but also true. their systems were dying, their leader was dying, and it probably felt like there was a good chance they were dying. in retrospect, the inclusion of allusions to transition and "theme" of transformation underscored the mood
Bringing back Xenosaga means bringing back 3 games in total that haven't aged so well. And Takahashi is pretty busy with his own successful series.
They have no reason to put any kind of discount on TOTK, I imagine.
I dunno, hard to be depressed when you got Fire Emblem Engage, Kirby and Octopath 2 all out in a months span!
And it's really funny to suggest that if Nintendo doesn't have an upcoming 20m+ seller to show off, that means they won't bother doing floor space at E3. E3 2020 was cancelled and E3 2021 was digital-only, but Nintendo didn't have games like that in those years either -- so if not for COVID, am I supposed to believe they would have sat E3 out anyway?
We've gotten like 10 leaks in a row, what more do you want
quote a single post that says the direct is 100% this week
