Just saying a tiny wish among this hype/despair that I want a Pro controller with a headphone jack announced. Nintendo answered my hardware prayers with the Odyssey bundle last big Direct!

Chibi has never been so popular. Nintendo are thinking of ways to revive him as we speak.
I suggest ChibiRobo: Burning Amiibo Festival

It's happened before but there is a window of time that allows people to get ready to watch the thing.
The golden age is never over we are stuck in a freaking loop! It will go on and on till we finally get our direct announcement!
11am eastern I think. But the other possibility is that they thought there really was a Direct today from the hype in this thread (heck, they used a gif posted in this thread). So maybe this has become a self fulfilling prophecy!
Hi, for those of you asking what's been happening lately with the logo or trying to catch up with this thread, here's a long explanation.
Insiders have all come forward collectively earlier on this month stating that the Direct is happening 1/11.
Since then, a massive hype train has collected and theorizing multiple things. These things include stuff like 2018 being a year of ports for Nintendo, such as Wii-U Ports or Third Party ports (such as the very heavily rumored which is basically deemed to nearly be true, Dark Souls 1 Remaster or Port). Since that was dropped out of the rumor base, users on /r/Kappa who has had a very flimsy record when it comes to being right or wrong, even though he did leak the TMNT to Injustice 2 DLC, also came forward saying the same shit but WILD ass predictions which everyone has not believed.
At this point in time, as of yesterday, Nintendo of America was rumored to have posted the announcement that the Direct was happening 1/11. Reason being, Nintendo has a track record of announcing directs in a format of two days or one day before if it's a direct about multiple games, and multiple days before if its just a single game. However, when the time strike 3PM EST (or 2PM don't remember correctly), Nintendo retweeted the damn parrot from Mario Odyssey. However, hours before this happened, someone in this hype thread stated this
"They should RT the bird tweet from weeks ago so we know they're watching us", when 3PM EST struck this was retweeted with the picture of the parrot:
"What is the secret you're seeking? I know it, I know it, ha HA! I can't tell you! ♪ It's hiding somewhere and no peeking! ♪ Go find it, go find it, scra-CAW!"
Then today happened.
As of Today, we had a couple of things happen overall. First and foremost, at 5AM on the Dot, Super Mario UK on Twitter tweeted out a picture of Mario using fire balls in Super Mario Odyssey. Then we had this incident where GameStop messed up (or purposely trolled us) stating in a tweet "The Nintendo Direct is happening in 45 minutes!", then deleted it. Since then, we also had a Direct square logo space pop up on Nintendo JP's website. On top of this, for all of you coming in asking "Why is the logo with Chibi Robo on Fire a thing?" here is your answer. Nintendo of America joined on the continuous fun and tweeted a picture of Chibi Robo on fire at 12PM EST. At 1PM, Nintendo NYC also joined in the fun tweeting out this Mii with a hot dog suit on. Since these tweets have happened , we've also had multiple video game Twitter accounts tweet pictures, too, but at Nintendo.
Including:
There are others, too, however if you notice all of them have the same theme, a character on fire. At one point, the theme from a twitter account, such as Trove, tweeted "Things are getting hot in here" or "getting fired up". We also had RogerBase, a fellow ResetERA user/Nintendo Ambassador & Youtuber stating in a DM to a Youtuber known as EtikaWorldNetwork that a Direct is happening tomorrow with no announcement, he also made the video that is now up with GameXplain about Predictions.
As of now, I believe that is all there is to know with everything linked for those of you who don't know what's going on and for those of you trying to catch up. Also small thing to note, the other day Amazon SKU's popped up (several of them), users preordered them and now they're getting cancellation emails.
That's all folks!

I see unrealistic expectations are beginning to set in. This is the part where things start to get a little sad
I hope you choosed this gif specifically because that scene goes well in hand with the craziness that's going on here XDPoor fans....
I mean a January direct is guaranteed from the EA emails leak
no time needed
they're going to unveil their telepathic tech and beam the info into our brains
Probably about 45 minutes before, that Gamestop tweet kinda implies so
I wish I could say I feel bad for all you hardcore Nintendo folk, but Microsoft only gives us Xbox news once a year at E3.
We survived the WiiU era, this is nothing!Poor fans....
My theory still is something they wanted to announce fell through last minute so they have to reshuffle for this presentation. The Direct is still coming but maybe not as it was intended initially. That would explain the chaos the sources seem to allure to. And whatever fell through has got to be a pretty big announcement for Nintendo.
If it's as big as we're hoping (and it probably is), is that even possible? Stealth dropping a big Direct doesn't seem like a move Nintendo would do.
That being said, I'd love to be proven wrong.
Considering they used the same gif we were spamming I wonder if they just saw the thread and assumed our count downs were real.
Maybe the Gamestop employee was reading this thread while some of us were saying "In the next hour guys!"
And he actually believed it.
RDR is a no no. The code is a mess, they won't even port it to PC.
I'm going to add to this and very definitively say I do not work for Nitnendo.
