People love games. I love Treehouse too. No matter what direct we got I really wanted a Treehouse.
Nate said it might be a mini Direct and not a non existent Direct.GUYS, I got it. It's a Pikmin Direct.
Yes I believe it was to show off Origami Kingthe bakugan one? oh god, i've been trying to erase that from memory.
no one can convince me jason wasn't zippothat was clearly bullshit, and one of jason's most embarrassing tweets, i think he ended up deleting it?
nothing about what was shown was out of the ordinary for the current hardware.
it'll all be over soon...It's a foregone conclusion that Nintendo is doing something this week. Take solace in that, at the very least.
Mini directs aren’t that bad y’all need to chill. At least it’s something before the big September direct. They did this cause e3 was cancelled and figured oh well since e3 isn’t happening let’s do a smaller presentation instead after sgf do that we can show off some stuff before the September direct in like 2 and a half months
It depends on what Liam has heard for some lolOk, so after the latest Liam post, this is the part where we go back to being optimistic, right?

I’d love that more than a general directIts actually a hardware reveal that showcases a bit of several games. How would you react?

If said games included Prime HD and/or a Dread graphical update of some kind, very positively.Its actually a hardware reveal that showcases a bit of several games. How would you react?
this is the good timeline for sureIts actually a hardware reveal that showcases a bit of several games. How would you react?
Nate, without knowing precisely what kind of Direct it is, would you say it's time for our users to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?
Now I'm really looking forward to this weekend's Spawncast.
Only the first and third Partners were announced ahead of time. The first Partners Showcase was the beginning of a new format (it was announced at damn midnight if I recall). The third one was heavily tied to Monster Hunter's reveal and it had a direct right after the showcase.I actually don’t think announcing the mini ahead of time is out of the question
iirc, each partner showcase after the first(?) was announce prior. Maybe they realized announcing whatever it may be is better than shadow dropping
This day is more hillarious than this fucking moment:
putting to proof that claim that nintendo did in TGA 2019 ''the nintendo switch has games''As I said before, it's not a General. It's a Mega. 2 hours long. 90 minutes Stinky Horse gameplay.
Was there ever a mini Direct that wasn't awful? Especially the last one in 2020 was really bad imo.there's always at least one or two new first party announcements in a general direct. if it's a mini, i guess they don't have anything they want to reveal at this time, they could have shifted the announcements to september. i don't think it'll be a partner showcase tho, because they still have to reveal mario kart dlc, and i assume updated for strikers and switch sports. those are enough to turn a partner showcase into a mini.
this one was alrightWas there ever a mini Direct that wasn't awful? Especially the last one in 2020 was really bad imo.
We’ve been saying that since 2018 tbhSeptember Direct should now be the best Direct ever in history of earth.
Without telling us what it is, are you more aware of the nature of the Direct than you were a few days ago, or are you just being cautious about the way Nintendo may brand the Direct?Yes. Yes I would.
my personal tinfoil: the anticipated edit is because they're all starting to hear about hardwareFirst on insiders. I’m just more confused now. Unless someone has seen the entire presentation, how could anyone know for certainty what type of direct it is? Like how Nate can’t really say either. I’m assuming they hear about specific games, which means SOMETHING is coming. But something seems to have changed with Nate in the last day.
I'm trying to play the non remastered version of Metroid prime, but this thread has indeed been very distracting lol.I should be playing three hopes but this thread has been very entertaining
I wouldn’t quite jump to that conclusion yet, but it’s definitely possible. I want to see how next week and July goes. If no switch “pro” announcement in July then I’ll jump on September will probably be the best direct ever train.September Direct should now be the best Direct ever in history of earth.
i'm assuming there may have been plans for a full direct, but then they realized with a lineup like xeno 3, pokemon, splatoon 3, bayo 3, mario rabbids, etc. there's no rush to reveal more first party games at this point in time. tho it would have been nice if people didn't hype up a full direct for months and get people's hopes up.Lots of speculation going through my head right now.

Second of all, on Nintendo’s lineup itself. On one hand, having three games dated for H2 (Xenoblade, Splatoon and Pokémon) is more than we usually do, so in that train of thought, I suppose a general isn’t needed.
On the other, I don’t think that’s all Nintendo has for the holidays at all. We have Mario + Rabbids and Bayonetta still needing second showcases and dates. We have MPHD to be revealed. Now, maybe my expectations are low, but… there’s your opener, middle and closer for a general direct right there?Like those are all things coming in 2022. That need to be shown soon. So why go the route of the mini? A general is being handed to them on a silver platter. And that’s without even going into 2023 like they usually do at E3 time, AND assuming they don’t have anything ELSE to announce for the remainder of the year.
positive theories about an upcoming direct. I am so proud of you Raccoon.my personal tinfoil: the anticipated edit is because they're all starting to hear about hardware
absolutely.Much more pending question: Will this thread reach 400 pages before the announcement of the direct, yes or no?
Raccoon with the optimism of an ADDITIONAL edit. Nicemy personal tinfoil: the anticipated edit is because they're all starting to hear about hardware
