I wonder whose mother Geoff Keighley insulted for Nintendo to be so clearly against having anything to do with his events. They're putting the Direct as late as humanly possible to get away from anything SGF lol
But, yeah, I'll be patient and wait. Won't deny that it really sucks to see this big gaming season just implode in on itself the instant the ESA is out of the picture.

I don't think they've ever announced hardware (outside of like special editions and themed joycons) at a Direct@NateDrake, any news about the new hardware (revision/next-gen)? Any chance this will get announced at the Direct?
In this particular case it might be "they don't want to overshadow the release of the upcoming spinoff with the announcement of a new mainline Fire Emblem".So the biggest pattern at this point is "Nintendo waits for big upcoming game to release, then has a Direct" in this case being Strikers and Three Hopes.
Hype!
However, before treehouse they still went last, being the last presentation means the ganes shown will be the most fresh in the head of the journalists abd consumers. Therfore you'll likely line up for Nintendos games first and create publicity for those games.Pretty sure they’re last at regular E3 because Treehouse and showfloor booth being directly after. Since the direct is quick trailers, it makes sense to tie them together to get the most synergy.
I don‘t think they care that much about “media coverage” tbh. They went last because it simply the best way to show off their games along with Treehouse Live.
lol right?? Couldn’t ask for better timingJust saw this, perfect timing for you guys. Nice!
The New 3DS was announced at a Direct back in August 2014.I don't think they've ever announced hardware (outside of like special editions and themed joycons) at a Direct

Blink twice for Donkey KongI know of some, yes. I'd prefer not to hint at excitement since that varies person to person and sets expectations.

I’ll never apologize
Switch Pro name reveal = Nintendo Switch ZEROIt means nothing
It's always a game of chicken in which a number of people know the info and just wait and wait and wait and don't want to be the first to actually disclose anything, but when the gate finally opens they feel comfortable corroborating each other.
The thing is, that looks to a lot of people like piggybacking, when it's more not wanting to be in the crosshairs that comes with breaking info. Not to say it's never piggybacking, but you've got to look at who is saying what, and if that person is more reputable than not.
Direct Feed Games is Nate.I've never seen this source before so it made me more skeptical. Is this Nate's thing? Wasn't clear
We have never been in a such situation before so it's hard to say, but usually non-e3 directs get announced same week that they happen, if there is treehouse they might announce it next weekWhen do these directs usually get annouced?
The sad thing is that with Miiverse dead you’re gonna miss the message in a bottle mechanic in Wind Waker HD. It really helped with the figurine quest!I'm still holding onto hope that Twilight Princess HD/Wind Waker HD get announced for Switch at this event. That being said I did set up my Wii U again, prepared both of these games and picked up a used Wii U Pro controller just in case. I'll likely just go back and play the Wii U versions (have not played those versions before) if Nintendo doesn't announce these in the Direct for Switch. I figured with BOTW 2 coming next year it would be even less likely to see these titles in 2023.
They're usually announced a few days before they air, so if it is the 29th I'd expect the 24th or 27th.When do these directs usually get annouced?
They probably wanted out of the whole “Summer Game Fest” window and not let Geoff pretend like Nintendo is a part of “his show.”I don’t get why it’s so late, even though there’s no E3 June is still the month everyone announces their stuff so why couldn’t they just get their usual tuesday spot as usual, or at least in the same week. I don’t think they would ever make a presentation right after their shareholder meeting (which is the 29th at 10 am JST). This would feel especially off if NA gets a big eShop sale this week, so one week after Europe.
It’s kind of a bummer to have to wait two whole weeks for Nintendo news while everyone else is getting their fix, last year we just got Metroid Dread out of nowhere… They better have F-Zero or something to compensate
I think it's because she just figured it was already announced. She and her circle probably have known about it for a while.The more I think about it, the weirder I think it is that Alanah Pearce would just drop this info just like that. Despite her saying that it wasnt Nintendo that told her, it strikes me as very odd thing to do.
I'm sure Sony wouldnt be thrilled if an employee of another videogame company would outright say that the next highly awaited SoP event is coming up at a specific date.
Now this doesnt really affect me and I'm happy to have it all but confirmed it's happening, but I dont think I would have ever dared doing such a thing if I was employed by a competing platform.
The shareholder meeting in June is largely procedural, they don't usually talk about games or sales or anything there. It's typically just voting for the board of directors and things like that.I don’t get why it’s so late, even though there’s no E3 June is still the month everyone announces their stuff so why couldn’t they just get their usual tuesday spot as usual, or at least in the same week.

I find it super weird too. Not even subtly dropping hints but just checking a notebook and directly confirming it. I know Nintendo didn‘t tell her directly but someone under NDA did so to be so blasé about it is so strange to me. Well but good for us I guess cos now we know the date.The more I think about it, the weirder I think it is that Alanah Pearce would just drop this info just like that.

no announcement. it just shows up one day unnanouncedThe only question that remains now:
Will it be announced earlier, or just one/two days before?
The hardcore fans are going to watch no matter when they air the presentation, so there's no need for Nintendo and Sony to plan around them. It's the casual audience that they're targeting, and scheduling matters a lot to pull that crowd.companies obviously have no obligation to plan these things around the e3 time frame, but I find it a bit obnoxious that sony and nintendo seem to be spacing them out while still trying to generally fit them into June. I get that you risk being buried by other shit by lining it all up at once, but the hardcore fans that watch these things have come to love the deluge of news, myself included. lame!
The absence of a mainline Fire Emblem game has been weird. Fire Emblem is very consistently a biannual series. Ignoring everything around Thracia 776 which was a jankyass time for the series (Kaga did not like the 3D lmfao), the only other three year gap I see is Awakening to Fates which is understandable because three games' worth of content. So, I'm really curious what's next for the series.I kind of think they could announce a new mainline Fire Emblem before Three Hopes releases regardless. Shadows of Valentia and FE Switch were both announced a week or so after the original Fire Emblem Warriors near the start of 2017.
I was never part of NintendoEra or whatever it was called, so I'm probably a new face to a lot of folks here.Also I don't think we've talked before so hi.
