StarTopic Nintendo Direct Speculation |ST5| Uncharted Territory: Drake's Deception

[LukasManak22]

If Nintendo got "no big games" they would drop this in August at least. This in fact confirms June Direct more than anything.

 

[Starphanluke]

I have a feeling we're going to be in very bizarre territory until Switch 2 launches

 

[Magic-Man]

I'm convinced that the earth must explode the day after Pikmin 4 comes out because why else would Nintendo release a dump truck full of games in H1

 

[eye0h]

I think we're just getting tweets this summer lol

 

[Raccoon]

I have a feeling we're going to be in very bizarre territory until Switch 2 launches

yeah I think we're in silly town now

get ready for rhythm heaven shadowdrop in august and f-zero gx hd six months limited run in september

Figuring out why the hell this is happening is like 80% of the reason this speculation season is fun

 

[Lugia667]

I still remember when Kirby's Dream Buffer meant no September direct

go back to sleep @LukasManak22

 

[Cheetah6442]

I really don't fucking understand them sometimes.

 

[AoiHana]

Welp, looks like the “new game announcement by June 9th” crowd won… in a way.

oh they 100% won

I phrased the poll specifically to accommodate some batshit tomfuckery like this

I'm not completely sold on this entirely being the case, but I do think it's possible that some folks on here are going to really regret dismissing the "no major games until 2024 with Switch 2" rumor. Really feels like people didn't believe in it because they didn't want it to be true.

 

[LukasManak22]

Imagine thinking there is no June Direct after this. This announcement even confirms June Direct alone for me, absolutely funny.

 

[Andre3333456]

I have some words....
THE JUNE SHADOWDROP IS REAL

 

[BradenAndEggs]

Wow they really want to hide this horse game in the shadow of Zelda huh lol

RELEASE A GAME AFTER SUMMER CHALLENGE (IMPOSSIBLE)

 

[Josh5890]

Well, Nintendo keeps their streak going of having a June release every year.

 

[Magic-Man]

I laughed harder at this than I should've

I was just thinking this. Now I’ll REALLY be surprised if September is empty

It’s joever

 

[Superstarxalien]

you all are so dramatic aren't you?

 

[GattaiMon]

Wait, wait, for people arguing that this game announcement means no Direct in June for sure...did we forget when they announced Ring Fit ? I think it was shortly after or before a Direct too. Didn't they just start to announce the most casual games outside of directs this gen ?

(yeah but that's less fun)

They’re just horsing around

BACK IN THE 90S

 

[Josh5890]

Regardless about how we all feel in regards to Nintendo's release plans for the second half of this year, can we take a minute to appreciate one of the random announcements from Nintendo in the Switch era?

 

[TomNookYankees]

Weird for them to semi-shadow drop their first party game of June like this. It's almost like there is no plans for featuring first party stuff in the summer direct similar to what happened last year.

 

[Apopheniac]

Nintendo absolutely needs to have a Direct ASAP so they can reveal Super Smash Bros. 7 with a trailer for the horse

 

[Magic-Man]

Nintendo absolutely needs to have a Direct ASAP so they can reveal Super Smash Bros. 7 with a trailer for the horse

Oh my god if this game does well the horse is going to become an assist

 

[Hocot8]

No it doesn't???

 

[LukasManak22]

No it doesn't???

It does, just wait and see.

 

[Cheetah6442]

Look, I know you're joking, but for the love of God, PLEASE don't jinx this shit into becoming areality.

 

[Hocot8]

It does, just wait and see.

It confirms nothing when it comes to anything we're discussing really.

We should not be treating this game more seriously than Nintendo is lmao.

[Joe]

Imagine how we would all be feeling right now if this game didn't leak and we had no idea about it before now.

 

[chocolate_supra]

Look, I know you're joking, but for the love of God, PLEASE don't jinx this shit to where it becomes a reality someday

Why must you smash my dreams???????

 

[Magic-Man]

This will be the first game to gross one horsillion dollars

 

[JorgenRaft]

This is why you never say "Nintendo would never _____."

They always take it personally and try to prove you wrong.

 

[SammyJ9]

Please tell me the name of the horse head guy is Horst

 

[Cheetah6442]

Why must you smash my dreams???????

Trust me amigo, what you're experiencing are bizarro nightmares.

 

[LonkFromPA]

Please tell me the name of the horse head guy is Horst

It's Shaneighneigh

 

[chocolate_supra]

Trust me amigo, what you're experiencing are bizarro nightmares.

Nah, I can usually fly in those

It's Shaneighneigh

I am ugly laughing at this omg

 

[LukasManak22]

It confirms that most EPD4 casual games have absolutely nothing to do with Directs
