If you look closely you can see Miyamoto, Furukawa and other head figures throwing darts on a 3-month calendar titled "When is the next Direct?"
Hey just relax and Kick BackI can count 3 Ninjas, i'm too scared to look for more and have them notice me.
Fire Emblem anniversary is on April 20th so...April will have the Fire Emblem remake
Pyoro's tweets usually start at random so... i guess we'll just wait tbh.So, has Pyoro sang? If not, then no Direct this week...
Meaning no Indie, so we'll probably get a General in April

+ the last Indie was only teased by Pyoro the day of annoucement, not before IIRCPyoro's tweets usually start at random so... i guess we'll just wait tbh.
The only reason we knew about that last one was Outer Wilds right? If that's the case, Pyoro might literally just have nothing to talk about this time.
Stick a pin in this as it has good potential but I think the fall is when we get new NSO exclusive games?Warioware 99: A surprise shadowdrop release of a new warioware game after months of updates to the official Warioware site.
Hello people, being a bit offline for personal reasons
Do we have new rumors about an april direct or nothing new?
Hello people, being a bit offline for personal reasons
Do we have new rumors about an april direct or nothing new?
I think that it could still happen. The Nintendo direct in the two next weeks, for be more precise.No whispers at all so unlikely there's a Direct in the next two weeks.
Could it be in the middle of April? Yeah, but again, no whispers at all.
It became very unlikely anyway when last week's Future Game Show got unusual amount of Switch announcements. And a big port: Tchia. Which could have been a nice Indie World closer. We also got some surprising shadowdrops too: Laika, Across the Obelisk and Unturned. The latter two are pretty popular games on steam.Guessing no Indie World this week, they usually air on Wednesday’s (Although we did get a Tuesday one last year) so the announcement should have been today.
Exactly, are people forgetting that he‘s a 100% track record and we not?I have a quick request for you all:
If we reach, say, mid-April, and we haven’t heard anything out of Pyoro, can we please NOT all lose our minds and claim he’s lost his source? I feel like, a few times now, when Pyoro doesn’t say anything for a while, people start doomposting that he’s been caught and the bird’s wings have been clipped. This assertion has been consistently wrong; just because Pyoro doesn’t speak when you expect him to doesn’t mean he’s been caught.
This isn’t to say he’ll never be caught… technically, the doomposters could be right… but it’s just silly to say this every time Pyoro doesn’t speak for a two-week period. Pyoro will speak when there’s news to share, not necessarily when we EXPECT news to come.
Tell you what: I’ll start believing that Pyoro’s been caught either after (1) he goes six months straight without providing a leak, missing several pertinent Nintendo announcements in the meantime, OR (2) we somehow get definitive proof from a reputable source that Pyoro has been silenced.
Until then, I just don’t buy it.
GigaChad fantasy Direct, well done!Time for a General Direct prediction/wish list! I’m gonna try and throw some fun ones in here that aren’t rumoured/obvious, because it’s just more fun that way Also, I’m just gonna focus on first/second-party since that’s where my expertise lies.

-Metroid Prime 4 full reveal. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted. / 11.14.2024
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to come up with. I tried to make it not too big that it's totally unrealistic, but also not too small that it's boring. On another note, I am so proud of the name "Chibi-Robo: Surge Protector". To all the Nintendo ninjas reading this forum, could you pass that on to your bosses?GigaChad fantasy Direct, well done!
If Indie World was this month it would have been last week before GDC and/or PAX East. It's over for that rumor (and therefore April Direct also loses an argument for it)
Indeed. If only.Nintendo Direct
Mr Mods, send him to the principal's office and have him expelled !Nintendo Direct
I don't think they'll bother with another Mini. The release slate is stacked until July, it's General or bust now.Do you all think it's possible that the next Nintendo Direct is a Mini? I don't think it will be but if they want to just flesh out the summer, while doing trailers mostly on existing titles, I could see that being the case with them a normal Direct following it being in June?
We're speculating that an April or May General Direct will happen because, as of right now, we do not know Nintendo's H2 software lineup, and I doubt that's something they would Twitter drop. Assuming the hypothetical June Switch 2 reveal is a thing:I still say no direct and switch2 reveal in june.
We normally get a new direct as soon as the last game of the season comes out.
We were supposed to get one as soon as peach was launched. Instead, they gave us dates for paper Mario and Luigi mansion 2.
Didn't someone claim we'll get a late April Direct because of an oopsie made with Endless Ocean?I think we'll get a General Direct in between Endless Ocean and Thousand Year Door. It doesn't look like there's an Indieworld this month so the April Direct rumor is debunked now. May makes the most sense.
What oopsie?Didn't someone claim we'll get a late April Direct because of an oopsie made with Endless Ocean?
I can't exactly remember, but someone speculated that we're either getting a General Direct or late April or a Endless Ocean dedicated Direct in late April because of an observation they made.What oopsie?
NoperDo you all think it's possible that the next Nintendo Direct is a Mini? I don't think it will be but if they want to just flesh out the summer, while doing trailers mostly on existing titles, I could see that being the case with them a normal Direct following it being in June?
