Team February often espouses that they cannot lose, for they either are correct or get their prize earlier than they expected. This never sat right with me, but only in my self-inflicted exile did I realize why: Team February may get results, but Team January wins in the moment. Every 11 PM in Kyoto, every reset clock, every moment wondering why we haven't gotten a Tweet yet is its own reward. We're here to bravely stand up, not for what we believe is safe and comfortable, but instead for the notion of a better world.
Februarians are eager to point out that there hasn't been a general Nintendo Direct in January in the Nintendo Switch era. Why then, I posit, does it feel like that's what's supposed to happen? Simply put, because it is! This thread is descended from the Nintendo Direct Speculation threads of yore, themselves descended from the greatest Nintendo moment of our time: the unchallenged hype of January 2018. It may have been a Nintendo Direct mini, but it was news that we wanted and got when we wanted it. For better or for worse, that is the dream of any person.
Geoff Keighley has abandoned us. Rumors of new hardware have misled us. The world itself has become cold and uncertain. In retaliation against the reality of our present condition, I rally you all to take a stand against the self-assured complacency of Team February through a proud and principled alliance with Team January!
