Words cannot express how much I hate this Mario image.
 
Maybe it's a first time ever Square-Enix themed Direct? They have a lot to reveal/go over, you know. With just the SE software this could be a meaty Direct.

I have a lot of quotes saved from people crapping on others for questioning if we’d get a General Direct. Nate has been more unsure as we got closer.

If Nate only knows of third party games like Mario + Rabbids that can fall into any category.

True but we don't really know if @NateDrake means he's hearing it's something like a Partner showcase now. Could be, to take your example, that Mario + Rabbids is removed from the Direct to be shown someplace else. Tom Henderson's been hearing Ubisoft is planning to re reveal Skull & Bones in July, maybe they're grouping those games together? Unlikely of course, and I'm preparing myself for a Partner (lmao sounds so stupid to say) but we don't know exactly what Nate means that he's anticipating an edit.

Mini Direct back on the menu? Fuck me sideways, I hate Mini Directs. They can keep that shit.

Nintendo fans are going to be really mad next week. We already have a group that didn’t like Xenoblade got a direct, but at least they thought it was so it couldn’t be shown in a bigger direct.
 
God fucking dammit

I thought about posting the Yakuza gif where Kiryu slams the desk and leaves, but I don't have the energy. I'm just really bummed now.
 
Mini is far, far likelier than a Partner Showcase. I don't get why, when there's the slightest hint there isn't a full Direct, the reach is automatically "that maligned form of Direct Nintendo did during the peak of the pandemic" and not "the smaller form of Direct Nintendo occassionally use".

Still expecting a general, though.
 
This upcoming Mini/Partner Direct might be the biggest insult by a major gaming company in the past decade. I literally screamed "FUCK YOU" at my screen. I knew it wasn't set in stone that they would do a General Direct but the hype they created made me think they were just going to surprise us with it anyway. Absolutely unacceptable to do this to us. Once they knew General was expected in June, they should've just done it.
 
This is a patented Raccoon Reminder that we don't need a Direct right now and that a Mini or Partner is not an indictment of the Switch's future
 
Patented Irene reminder here that Partners are a thing of the past, they were an emergency measure to tackle the pandemic situation.

I'm betting on a livestreamed (non-mini) third party showcase

The March 2020 Direct Mini was also unusually late in the month, it aired on the 26th.
 
obligatory "hey folks how are you do-"

Next week is gonna be a shitshow as a mini Direct likely won't be announced beforehand but rather shadowdropped. I hope people won't attack Nate but unfortunately it's the internet and people suck.
 
I bet the direct will be called
mini because at minimum we will have a lot of fun that day!!!

Could be Mini with Treehouse/Treehouse equivalent? I feel there's potential still on the table even with the news.


People we got to take some deep breaths. We'll probably know the scoop in less than 72 hours.

Is there anything you can tell us about what you mean by that? Do you anticipate to cut out 5 minutes of talk about one game possibly being removed from the Direct... or do you anticipate to make it a much, much smaller prediction video??
 
9-Volt said:
I do too but much shorter one compared to older ones. Nothing bloating, like Smash reveal or Aonuma update. just 25 minutes of full reveals and a Fire Emblem trailer at the end.

Isn't 20-25 mins also the sort-of length of a Mini?

Calm down and at least wait until it's confirmed before getting upset.


(unless this is a copypasta I'm unfamiliar with then disregard this post)

What hype did Nintendo create? If anything, it's the board hyping itself up to an insane level and dismissing anyone who suggests otherwise.
 
Imagine Twitter if Nintendo posted this:

"Check out the latest Nintendo Direct Mini showcasing titles coming to Nintendo Switch in 2022, including Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope"

sigh

I won't lose any sleep over this, but not getting a general would be disappointing. I hope we get some sort of first party update soon, mainly for things like Bayo 3 and Metroid Prime remaster (assuming it's coming this year)

It's a copypasta, I think I've seen it like 10 times this month. I don't know from where though.

Indie Worlds are usually 20 minutes but we got 15 minutes long Minis in the past (the one with Dark Souls)
Click to expand...

Ah, gotcha.
 
The fact that the facts seem to change every time I log into this forum suggests maybe people should just tune out for the weekend, I get the idea that no one really knows despite saying they have a good idea.
 
So would no General next week mean that I have to extend the backlog challenge with 3 months .. ?

No, I'm still thinking it'll be a general. just theorizing.
 
I can understand disappointment in a Partner Showcase but I don't think a Mini is anything worth getting upset about. Minis are just general Directs but about 10 - 15 minutes shorter, right?
