mod edit:
Alanah Pearce, former game journalist and current game writer, hosted a live-stream today to share her thoughts on the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase. After she was done talking about that event, she made quick mention of other events coming up. This is when Alanah noted that a Nintendo Direct is coming on June 29th, 2022.
This mention caught some people in her Twitch chat off guard, and they asked for clarification. Pearce went so far as to double-check her calendar to reconfirm the June 29th date. She also noted that she didn’t get this information from Nintendo themselves, but with Alanah’s many years spent in the game industry on both the press/dev sides, it’s easy to guess that an inside source shared it with her.
Just to be clear, Alanah doesn’t seem to present this information as speculation. She comes off extremely confident in this Nintendo Direct happening, and I’d say she’s quite a trustworthy source.
@NateDrake I knew you "yeah-ing" my one specific post about the 29th/30th meant something lol (if this is indeed correct)
Oh my God.
"Captured on Switch Pro"Interesting date. Nintendo revealed both OLED and Lite around that date. Could mean something.
It means nothingInteresting date. Nintendo revealed both OLED and Lite around that date. Could mean something.
The one good thing about E3 was that it largely "forced" Nintendo to comply with having a presentation ready by that time frame.I don't doubt it, but it seems kind of bizarre. Would think it'd be a week or two earlier.
Can’t for for them to release a pro for a year later everyone start asking for a Pro 2!Y’all know me and how I don’t like pro speculation
But why is this date giving new hardware reveal vibes
Like somethings up. It’s so odd
It would be a day later in JapanIsn't that the date of the investor meeting? Otherwise, I believe it

That much being removed just meant we'd be at their mercy, because they have no reason to adhere to the old style of dating things this year.
Unironically though, I wouldn't be surprised if that was at least part of the reason a Direct is so late. We've already heard rumors that a new mainline FE is all but finished so it would make sense to announce it at a Direct soon. So putting this Direct after the release of Three Hopes means you're not awkwardly announcing a mainline title right before a spinoff launchesclearly they're waiting for Three Hopes to come out so they can shamelessly advertise their next Fire Emblem game, like Echoes of the Binding Blade or something. Look, it's not a complete Direct experience if I don't disappoint myself for a Fire Emblem announcement, please understand.
But that's fine, honestly. If the Direct is the 29th, it'd be nice if they communicated that there'll be a direct late this month before fans go in meltdown mode, but what you can you do? And there's sense in keeping everything away from the bulk of announcements happening this week.
Yeah. Like I said they knew everyone was going around this time so they probably wanted to separate themselves from the rest and not share media coverageWhy the end of the month. Why is Nintendo like this.
They see everyone else doing their stuff now and go “oh, that’s neat. Let’s make these fuckers wait a few more weeks”
I agree. No announcement until the June 21st weekSo if its on the 29th they actually could still do an announcement 2 weeks before. I really think its on the 22nd though
seriously burying the lede hahaAlso why put GoNintendo in the thread title rather than the actual source, Alanah Pearce?
I think we get the 21 or 22 announcement with Treehouse for 6/29Seems most likely we get a direct announcement either next Wednesday, 6/22, for a week in advance with Treehouse, or Tuesday the 28th w/ no Treehouse. There could be a weird two-day lead on Monday, 6/27 where Treehouse could still be pre-announced, but I'm really expecting one of the former two dates.
He yeahed a post I did where I said the end of the month as well.@NateDrake I knew you "yeah-ing" my one specific post about the 29th/30th meant something lol (if this is indeed correct)
Why the hell didn’t you guys tell me he yeah-d your posts lolHe yeahed a post I did where I said the end of the month as well.
