A Mini makes sense considering we will mostly get ports, remakes and remasters. So I guess no BotW2 news then? :(

It's important to note that the difference between a Mini and a Partner is drastic. A Mini has Nintendo games and first showed up in March 2020, which showed XBC DE, Clubhouse Games, and more.

Minis existed prior to then. I don’t remember the first one though.
 
Jokes aside, there has actually never been a Mini in the Switch era I didn't like, so I would personally have zero issues with that.

Partner ones are dicier. I loved the SMT and MH ones, and this June's one is one of my favorite Directs ever (all formats included), but some of the WORST Directs have also been Partner ones, so it's just a crapshoot how that might go

If it has to be one of the "smaller" formats I hope it is at least a Mini

Of course, in taking from Emily's last comment, I am actually going to hope it's just an early morning general, but you know, might as well prepare for the worst
 
I think the only thing that's gonna disappoint me is my general apathy towards the Fire Emblem series, and how much time it's gonna take up as a result in this presentation.

Hopefully it's the opener.

Ok I’m telling myself it’s still a general but earlier so that in Japan it airs 2 days before TGS instead of the day before. Cool that’s exactly what’s happening time for me to go to bed and I’ll see the general direct announcement for Tuesday morning as I’m on the way to work :)
 
And Emily gives us the fuel to get to 700. I’m ready for an early morning direct. Let’s hope it’s still a general. I think TGS and the closeness to that in Japan could necessitate an earlier showing.

Minis have existed since well before the switch era

Yes they have, but pre-Switch era, I believe they were used for branding game-specific Nintendo Direct presentations. Like an Animal Crossing New Leaf Direct was a "Nintendo Direct Mini: Animal Crossing" (and similar such examples).

I think "general" Minis only became a thing in the Switch era?

If it’s a mini, then TP, TWW, and Metroid Prime would fit right in and probably be the main highlights of the direct. Doubtful to expect DK, big new BoTW 2 trailer, Fire Emblem etc. Maybe they’ll be generous and at least give us the title for Zelda.

If it’s a general, then all of the above are still on the table with some other big surprises. We’ll find out soon!

was actually just about to post this

No other reason to have this dull of a year presentation-wise
 
Oh man, a Mini Direct after all this hype and insanity would be such a letdown, but also kind of the most fitting end for this roller coaster that I wouldn’t even be mad.
 
This is just so annoying, I like knowing things and if there’s fewer big announcements then I know less, and that makes me annoyed .

NINTENDO LET ME KNOW THINGS

Nintendo has announced mid tier games in Mini Directs before


Twice over, in fact!

The biggest mid tier is like a Mario sports game. They’re not announcing a big brand new Fire Emblem in a Mini Direct. That’s equatable to Xenoblade which every new game is announced in a general direct.

Right. Mini to me is, like, “here are the remasters/compilations we’re releasing over the next few months.” I know games like Clubhouse were announced in Direct Minis, but still.

That would be one way of clearly telegraphing to anyone not to expect BotW, I suppose.

I’m mostly interested in the ports/remasters/compilations so I’m fine with it being a Mini (if it is), but I would be a little worried about Game Boy NSO potentially not being there in that case.
 
i am feeling increasingly vindicated about my january reveal > april release (with botw 2) of the super switch prediction.
