Could the next Nintendo Direct happen as soon as in the next 20 days?

Patrick Bateman · Jan 12, 2018

A user on r/NintendoSwitch mentioned that all Direct Minis had a full Nintendo Direct following within a max. of 20 days. For reference he included the dates of the earlier Direct Minis and full Directs:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...it_with_a_grain_of_salt_each_direct_mini_has/

So, next Nintendo Direct on 31st of January?

PS: I've seen it posted in the Mini Direct-thread so I thought it would be better to post in a new thread than to fill up the other thread with it.

FiXalaS · Jan 12, 2018

All sighs point to yes.

Grim Patron · Jan 12, 2018

itll be announced soon :)

Neoxon · Jan 12, 2018

I think Etika mentioned this in his recent video. I hope that's the case.

Elfforkusu · Jan 12, 2018

JehutyRunner · Jan 12, 2018

Oh no. Here we go again (?).

Kolx · Jan 12, 2018

We already had a thread like this that was closed.

Lilo_D · Jan 12, 2018

I believe we will have a formal direct in next 20 days

Nakenorm · Jan 12, 2018

Maybe, maybe not.
Let's just wait and see please. We don't need another 400 page thread. People will just end up disappointed.

Resetti · Jan 12, 2018

Also, another blank space appeared on NCL's Direct Page

What would a full Direct include? More 3DS titles and Switch system-level stuff (online, app, Virtual Console, etc.)? New Switch hardware?

I don't see why it would happen, but it'll be cool if it does.

Vampirolol · Jan 12, 2018

I think we should at least wait a week before opening a thread. Mini Direct wasn't even 24 hours ago...

Imran · Jan 12, 2018

It's like you people learn all the worst lessons.

Herb Alpert · Jan 12, 2018

You're all insane

Mega Man Zero · Jan 12, 2018

Rosur · Jan 12, 2018

Yea as it was only a mini I do see a bigger one at the end of Jan begging of Feb.

Datajoy · Jan 12, 2018

This would be incredible if true. As a standalone early year Direct, yesterday's mini was shit. But as a supplement to a full megaton-laden Direct, yesterday's mini would be a delectable appetizer.

Zacmortar · Jan 12, 2018

Just 16 more minutes!

This. Hype is fun, but I'd rather not have another wave of irrational doom and gloom based on the insanely high expectations of people not being satisfied.

Man I was so happy with all the little announcements in the mini and the pipeline for the next rfew months I'm fine waiting til spring or even E3. Between these titles and what's available on eShop I'm up to my ears in great games but no time.

SinCityAssassin · Jan 12, 2018

There's a direct in the next 480 hours.

Vampirolol · Jan 12, 2018

And what would they even announce? We already know the releases until E3.

Deleted member 11276 · Jan 12, 2018

I don't think so, but it would be a nice surprise. Though I hope we see one next month or March

Waffle · Jan 12, 2018

I guess they could go over the other stuff that wasn't shown in the Direct mini and we know is coming out in the first half such as Wolfenstein and Bayonetta. Overall there was a lack of western dev support in the mini besides Payday 2.

RomanceDawn · Jan 12, 2018

For a moment I thought this was going to be the dumbest thread yet with some crazy theory. Though looking at those dates, I didn't even realize mini directs and regular directs all happened so close to one another.

RockmanBN · Jan 12, 2018

oh no

Darkmark1987 · Jan 12, 2018

Werent most of the mini directs, title specific though. Have we had any general mini direct followed quickly by a full one?

Ehoavash · Jan 12, 2018

nahhhh don't see the point of doing a full direct so soon since we already seen all their release schedule for the first half of the year

Maybe we will get a "online service direct " next month detailing their new online service

LoyalPhoenix · Jan 12, 2018

History of mini directs and a new slot opening on that direct page point to yes.

See you all in the next January Direct lmao

This is a good question and I demand it be answered!

Nathan.exe · Jan 12, 2018

In 20 days ? I don't know. But soon ? Yes. I mean, we're only the 11th, and some people think they already have announced all the games available until June...

11 minutes !

Redcrayon · Jan 12, 2018

I suspect they used the mini to get all the ports out of the way so they can focus people's attention on a couple of the original projects they've got coming up during the main Direct.

Argot · Jan 12, 2018

This can't be happening.

Maximo · Jan 12, 2018

I feel like people are just setting themselves up.

Really wasnt

Whitemex · Jan 12, 2018

Let the hype begin!!
Where my boy Chibi?

AaronC · Jan 12, 2018

Maybe. But I don't think so. It felt like the one yesterday covered a range of first-party and third-party stuff; big games and smaller, rather than having a set focus. So I'm not sure what realistic purpose another Direct so soon would have. Bigger second-half 2018 titles will be announced at E3, and the online service has seemingly been kicked into the long grass.

Manggei · Jan 12, 2018

Oh, next all hail Burning Chibi Overlord thread incoming :)

Deleted member 2809 · Jan 12, 2018

NO

STOP

Yoshi · Jan 12, 2018

On a related note, within 24 months of every Nintendo Direct, there was a Zelda release.

We still don't know anything about Yoshi or Fire Emblem. Yoshi in particular is supposed to release early in the year.

Oh, wow. That is pretty much confirmation. This is legit.

Elfforkusu · Jan 12, 2018

People are going to be disappointed no matter what. We got TWEWY back and DK:TF off the wretched pile of flies and ashes known as the Wii U -- the Direct Mini was a smashing success.

So, choo choo

hjort · Jan 12, 2018

Ten minutes to go!!!!

Sorry, can't help it.

While i won't agree that there's another Direct soon to be shown, the Mini-Direct's video description on Youtube clearly said "Selected Titles", so no, we probably have not seen the full schedule for Q1 and Q2 2018.

mocolostrocolos · Jan 12, 2018

HERE WE GO AGAIN

woman · Jan 12, 2018

A lot of these aren't even real nintendo directs.

the direct on july 30 was just a japanese dqx presentation

jan 8 was just pokemon

april 3 was tomodachi life

november 12 was monster hunter

etc.

ShiftaDeband · Jan 12, 2018

I think this is important to read. From the direct mini thread:

MrMegaMill said:
Interestingly enough, you may notice that the Fire Emblem Direct is absent, even though it SHOULD be, as it would appear right after the Animal Crossing direct form 2016, chronologically. This correlates with the rumour that there will be more information about Fire Emblem coming really soon.

This guy has been posting things about FE Switch and correctly knew that there would be no info about the game in this Direct. Hmmm......

marc^o^ · Jan 12, 2018

Seems likely, at the very least to give exposure to upcoming Indie games. Inside in particular deserves its minute of fame.

Could the next Nintendo Direct happen as soon as in the next 20 days?
