It's not our fault though. Is it? It's the Direct's fault for not inevitably announcing itself on time.

LOL you guys are insane! I love you all (most of the time) but you've gone off the deep end! At this point I hope for an direct announcement tomorrow simply for you guys here. I don't think I can be as energetic as you all are.

I have a personal story I'd like to share, that I've been holding in for many years.

In 2009, I took a vacation to Japan. I travelled alone, because I didn't have any friends (my old group of five school pals had all started dating different girls in August 2008, so they told me they wished to amicably part ways for good). But I carried with me a little pocket book of common Japanese phrases, hoping to make a new friend during my journey overseas. I figured that if I could just find a pen pal, I'd at least have someone to say "Merry Christmas" to during the holidays (my family believes Christmas is a trick by Lucifer meant for naughty boys of sin only, so I was always forbidden from celebrating it.)

One night, as I was walking under the neon lights of Tokyo, a rain storm rolled in. Knowing the bad reactions my skin has to polluted rainwater, I began to panic and cry. I was alone in a foreign land, with nobody to help me or tell me what to do when suffering from Japanese rain.

What happened next changed my life.

An old man - with hair the color of clouds and spectacles so round you'd swear you were looking into the moon herself - walked up to me in my disheveled state. He started speaking Japanese, which I didn't understand. I guessed he was asking me what was wrong, but I didn't want to make a fool out of myself so I quickly got out my Japanese phrase book and madly turned through the pages, trying to translate his words on the spot. I became so overwhelmed that I cried even harder, and the man put his hand on my shoulder in a gesture of raw comfort.

I looked into his wise face to try and express gratitude through the language of my eyes, but just then, the first rain drops started to fall. Realizing that I was about to break out into rain rash in front of my new friend, the tears began to flow down my cheeks even faster, like powerful waterfalls from the ancient times.

But just then, the man did something that transcended every bad temptation of a human soul.

He picked me up by my portly waist, and slung me over his shoulders like a superhero. However, he was not strong of body. His strength instead lied in his heart. And his heart allowed him to carry me, slow and steady, to a nearby bridge. The rain was pouncing on me like so many betraying knives in the back, and my skin was erupting into red and orange splotches. Yet I didn't care, because the man's inner-kindness sustained my soul.

Once we were safely under the bridge's sheltering cobblestone, he offered me his jacket to dry off with. I wrapped myself in that fabric, and he cuddled me with his arms as I wept. Eventually my tears gave way to exhaustion, and I collapsed into a deep slumber.

When I woke up, the man was gone. But I was still wrapped in his jacket. Feeling melancholy at the bittersweet experience of love and loss, I reached into the coat's pocket... and felt a small piece of paper. It was a business card.

It read "Mr. Hiroshi Yamauchi-san, First of his Name, Former President of All Video Games Made by Nintendo."

My mind whirled with a loopy glee, as I realized the significance of the man I just met. Flabbergasted, I read the rest of the card.

It ended with a quote.

"Leave luck to heaven, but leave everything else to me, Mr. Yamauchi."

I still have that card, and to this day I read it every morning to remind me what true strength really is. It's not muscle or power, nor even the might of a thousand militaries. No, true strength is the ability to carry a scared boy to a bridge in a storm and abandon him in the night, and that's a lesson so powerful that I've never had rain rash again.

Thank you, Mr. Hiroshi Yamauchi-san, First of your Name, for helping me know what it's like to truly live.

I gotta go to Kyoto for work today if you guys want me to throw eggs at Nintendo HQ or something. Or if you want to go the other way maybe I can bring a box of donuts with a note that says, "Direct please" and leave them with reception.

Pretty sure once you pass near the HQ building you will hear laughs and giggles of Miyamoto and Kouizumi because they're reading this thread laughing and making fun of us for being probably the only forum on the whole internet hyping an actual Direct announcement lmao

All of you stood by during the great Zelda purge and did nothing to defend it and now you spend your idle time on this frivolity? There will be no direct, now go to your rooms with no tv immediately.

If Dark Souls was indeed being remastered for all platforms would it make any sense for it to be revealed in a Nintendo Direct?

Otherwise pretty much the Squid Sisters and Marina.

I don't find Pearl that bad anymore tbh, she kinda grew on me. So i take those goblin/gremlin comments back atleast.

They all are, tbh, but Pearl and Marie are my faves
