This is what they do when they're announcing it one day in advance. But if they're announcing it two weeks in advance it really doesn't matter which day they choose.No. It would be announced Tuesday or Wednesday

The amount of people knowing this far ahead also kinda makes me think new hardware.
Just something that’s a big deal.
I recall Nate being off by one day in regard to the Pac-man 99 announcement. I remember him referring to time zone confusion with the info that he received.Has Nate been confused about the date in the past? He said 28 or 29 (he did say time zone differences could be at play)
Just playing devils advocate but why wouldn’t we also get rumblings of that hardware being shown very soon? I suppose we still have a couple weeks to go - could still happen

Elmo on fire was a hint referring to St. Elmo's Fire, which released on June 28. The date is either June 28 or June 29 but could just be a timezone thing.
I debated wanting to say anything further here, but you know what, I'm just gonna before I leave and ignore the threadWish that were so
This forum is basically a cult with regards to insiders. Any criticism or questioning is sacrilege and must be stamped out (even though they're wrong all the time).I debated wanting to say anything further here, but you know what, I'm just gonna before I leave and ignore the thread
This is a silly, unprofessional reply. Seriously. I post one statement with reasonable doubt due to a rocky record that has other people in doubt and immediately like clockwork a lot of people get angry at me. And then you pretty much snarkily go "wish that were so" because I noted I noped out of reading leaks, when I only made literally one, one post here about them since I joined the site? I dunno, l say it's going well for me since just focusing on a "I'll be surprised if I see the rumored stuff but will just assume everything is not real" mindset was better for my mental health. Yet the one time I pop in to check on mayhem and cast doubts due to vagueness being a very easy smokescreen (doubts I'm not alone on, I might add)? Others can disagree, that's fine, and I'm not gonna hang around in these threads to rebuttal stuff, I just wanna focus on other niches I hang out in here, but the fact people have such a hyper defensive reaction for daring to question someone is... pretty concerning. Especially when the head admin of this site just snarkily joins in on brigading
But what do I know, just don't be surprised when some shy away from this thread and think it's a bit weird to deify certain insiders the way this community can at times and then disappoint themselves for getting too invested when things are a bust. Can't expect some folks to not be miffed that "oh yeah it was TOTALLY the 29th all along since before june, i just didn't say it until others said it!" doesn't look odd
No one here pointed this out, but someone on ERA pointed out that Kit and Krysta straight up say Nintendo specifically does not want to be associated at all with Summer Game Fest and has their “reasons” for not doing so. Which I guess makes the late June window make sense.

I wouldn't say it was all because Reggie, it was because Iwata too. They were friends, and I believe last thing Iwata said to him was "Nintendo will always support you with a TGA Geoff".And Nintendo doesn’t have a long standing relationship with Geoff. They have one with ESA that goes decades back. They’re hand in hand with each other. The only reason they even did anything with Geoff for Game Awards was because of Reggie. Nintendo themselves see no reason to work with him on a larger scale.
Eh, I think the next time we will hear about that game is just a tweet with the release date. Nintendo isn't going to bring out any excitement with that launch at this pointadvance wars gods damn it please be there
This is part of the process too.I should share the date to make people here feel joy? No.
I sat on the date because it can put partners in jeopardy. My contacts are more important that the small community of never satisfied, constantly angry, pessimistic folks that gather here. If someone else happens to leak the date, I can then confirm the date since the information is out there. There's nothing to protect.
Look at how many latched on to June 15 for the Direct. Did I? Nope. Why? Because it was never that date. If this window was wrong, then, I would have said it didn't match what I was hearing, too.
I've implied "late June" since May.
man, this is the best description someone ever made about me.never satisfied, constantly angry, pessimistic...
I think one of the important things to note here is something you said yourself -- it's comparatively a "small community" of people who constantly rag on any and all insiders. I can't speak on Era as I barely visit these days, but it appears that the vast majority of users on Fami definitely support you and Emily. You're never going to win over everybody unfortunately, but the number of people who get excited by and genuinely appreciate your teases/speculation seem to vastly outweigh the naysayers.I should share the date to make people here feel joy? No.

This forum has had members attack myself and Emily. Do you think we can't just leave or stopped sharing? Test us. You'll lose.
so you you leaked the uncharted reboot ;pnever satisfied, constantly angry, pessimistic...
Feels like a lot of prep work, what ever happened to a good old toaster?Everyone should just relax and prepare a hot tub full of piranhas.

This right here. Underrated show. Also, the Middle sort of stole the entire premise of the show and did it again.Everyone should just relax and make a quesadilla and watch Malcolm in the Middle
How I feel when I read this post
Relax big dog. We all appreciate you (Those of us that are sane).I should share the date to make people here feel joy? No.

I'm fine with standalone releases, but it would be an absolute shame if they didn't do the whole trilogy.I know it’s probably not likely, but I’m still hoping the Prime Remaster turns out to be a remaster for the whole trilogy in a single collection.

same, worse yet I don't want to imagine only prime 1 gets a remaster while 2/3 are left behindI know it’s probably not likely, but I’m still hoping the Prime Remaster turns out to be a remaster for the whole trilogy in a single collection.
Never in my life have I wished you'd be more wrong I want June 15, dammitElmo on fire was a hint referring to St. Elmo's Fire, which released on June 28. The date is either June 28 or June 29 but could just be a timezone thing.

There are leaks from China.Honestly, if a hardware announcement was imminent, I feel like we would have gotten some more recent leaks at this point. Those things have a tendency to leak out ahead of an official announcement.
Not saying a 2022 Switch Pro is dead, but I think we need some momentum pretty soon on that.
And no one believed it or at least pretended not to believe it. “Imminent” was being thrown around, joked about, and clowning all over the place. Even if Bloomberg has the scoop now, I doubt they would ever report on that again.Well when the OLED was announced, leaks on new hardware being announced came out like 2 weeks before the direct.
Hey I know you don't post much but it's always nice to see when you do.Nate and Emily, you both have my respect and appreciation. I'm sorry some people can't be respectful to you two. I don't post much but wanted you to know that I appreciate you both even when you just join the discussions here.
with the direct being so close to the release date, a dedicated xeno direct is less likely. A treehouse segment would be coolOh well... June 29 means a Xenoblade blowout, and I am happy, hyped and looking forward to that day.
I mean, regardless of Nate's misses on certain things, which he's always been pretty clear about and generally explains the reason for the false and/or misleading information, he's basically never been wrong on Direct dates. So I'm not sure why people ever doubt him on that
Honestly people who get upset at insiders always seem far more invested in insiders, to me at least, than those who tend to trust them (the reliable ones, anyways). In my experience it's usually a case of "oh I was really invested in this rumor and it didn't pan out so fuck insiders forever they're all liars". Typical culprits for such investment nowadays are Metroid Prime Trilogy and Switch Pro
It's not usually a calm take on a situation, is what I'm getting at. It's an emotional reaction masquerading as logic
I'm very quiet even IRL. I've been getting better about talking more over these last few years. Online I'm always second guessing myself if my post is needed or if it'll be misinterpreted and then I'll have to clarify to avoid conflict with others. I have high anxiety and panic attacks so I try to avoid conflicts when I can.Hey I know you don't post much but it's always nice to see when you do.
