yeah that's been the cool thing about this thread, we're in charge nowIt is interesting that this time we don't have any kind of leak or hint from insiders, but we are almost sure that something is happening next week.
We did it. We transcended, now we are Nintendo Gods

4How likely on a scale of 0-10 would y'all set the likelihood of a First Party Showcase next week?

Totally forgot about that, haha!
Ooooh...what has Retro not announced? They've announced Metroid Prime 4 and a new Donkey Kong, right? Anything else, or is DK not announced yet either?A Senior VFX artist just left Retro. He put on his profile that he “worked on various visual effects for an unannounced title”
Metroid Prime RemasterOoooh...what has Retro not announced? They've announced Metroid Prime 4 and a new Donkey Kong, right? Anything else, or is DK not announced yet either?
Was NSO actually announced earlier than usual?NSO announced earlier, no Splatoon 2 tournament next week, LaL & Xeno 3 previews and a new Switch OLED version this week. Nintendo is doing everything this week to prepare for something next week. The ball is rolling up, fellas. We're getting something.
Watch it just be vacation for the social media team or something…NSO announced earlier, no Splatoon 2 tournament next week, LaL & Xeno 3 previews and a new Switch OLED version this week.

They're not going to detail more Xenoblade when they've already done that twice this month.My prediction as a big 2022 pessimist
Nintendo details more on Xenoblade this month and announces a Splatoon direct for late July or August
Drops a twitter announcement of a holiday title soon, maybe Windwaker or something
Big BotW 2 direct and a direct mini in the fall, with BotW 2 being delayed again. A few new games announced like Fire Emblem and Donkey Kong for next year.
January, Nintendo announces the Super Nintendo Switch, a new console that will also share a good amount of games with the switch (like the ps5), and eventually shows off a lot of games with some being exclusive. Releasing at some point in 2023 (really don't feel like arguing when specifically)
There's always room for more xenoblade! But to be clear I wasn't talking about another xenoblade direct, just more info being put out.They're not going to detail more Xenoblade when they've already done that twice this month.
N64 NSO roadmap theorists shook
They're clearly about to announce Wave Race 4K at next week's Switch Pro event /s
no wave race?
LMAO
It is weird how little we're hearing from those usual aunts and uncles...The main thing holding me back from going all in on something happening next week is the fact that we've had zero insider hints on it besides Nate maybe hearing unconfirmed whispers of an event in July
That may just be down to a first-party event having a better lockdown on leaks, but it does make me hesitant to fully believe in an event, even with all the other smoke that seems to be pointing in that direction.
you joke but I 100% believe it's gonna happenThey're clearly about to announce Wave Race 4K at next week's Switch Pro event /s
I actually agree with you that the lack of leaks for upcoming software and Nintendo's plans is because they're preparing for the drake.It is weird how little we're hearing from those usual aunts and uncles...
The only reason Nintendo would be actively trying to lock this down harder than usual would be for a hardware reveal imo
They're not doing that either. The game is two weeks out. We just got a Direct a few weeks ago and previews today. It's not happening.There's always room for more xenoblade! But to be clear I wasn't talking about another xenoblade direct, just more info being put out.
That’s why I draw 2 conclusions. Because Nate should’ve heard something…if it’s a regular direct. To me this points to it being more of a hardware reveal because that is way more on lockdown compared to a regular direct.The main thing holding me back from going all in on something happening next week is the fact that we've had zero insider hints on it besides Nate maybe hearing unconfirmed whispers of an event in July

IGN NVC 619 is out. Roughly 23 minutes in Peer Schneider said he heard a first party Direct is planned for July but that he can't confirm it:
Quick, to the "It's Happening" Bunker!!!
Hardware or no hardware, a first-party only show could have eluded insiders I guess. I still remain skeptical of any significant event before September, after feeling kind of burned by the (still great for what it was) Partner Showcase.That’s why I draw 2 conclusions. Because Nate should’ve heard something…if it’s a regular direct. To me this points to it being more of a hardware reveal because that is way more on lockdown compared to a regular direct.
I don’t believe a Mini Direct or any regular direct is coming next week due to Nate or any other insider hearing anything. To me it’s hardware or bust.
Early leaks of Directs typically happen because of third parties, but from what I've noticed it seems like eventually people are aware of a Direct itself even beyond just those third party announcements (refer to Nate going all in on a Partners Showcase closer to the air date of the last one)Directs usually leak because of the third parties involved with them; it's why keep getting bamboozled by Partner Showcases. "I heard there was maybe a first party thing in July, potentially" is not something I'd hang my hat on, but I wouldn't necessarily take an absence of insider hinting as a knock against an event that would have little to no third party involvement.
