Lack of proper big third party support and announcements is a tiny bit worrying, (theoretically) saving big announcements for E3, remaining shtum on the VC, online infrastructure is unclear, not letting onto the fate of past purchases (will they be playable on Switch) and keeping your cards close to your chest so close after people received or bought a Switch over the holiday season is not the smartest idea, and far from the ideal way to go about reaching that figure.
If there's new Nintendo 1st party content, that will not be leaked before a Direct. AFAIK, such info has never leaked if it hasn't been connected with physical demos that people have seen in advance.
I still think Nintendo is going to use smash bros as a launch title for its online service, they need to have a big multiplayer title to release along side its 20$ a year serviceNintendo will have other directs, they aren't going to go till E3 without a direct. I think last year they had 2 or 3 before E3. I remember a ARMS one and another more general one for sure.
First half of 18 will be a bit weak IMO but thats because 2017 was so strong. Nintendo could of released tropical freeze instead of Xenoblade or Hyrule Warriors instead of FEW etc... Back half 18 and 19 will be big years though. Metroid/Pokemon/Smash/AC will all be late 18 or 19 titles. I can see a new MK end of 19 or early 20. I think Nintendo will have some big stuff for E3.
I also think there is more 3rd party stuff just not announced. I expect more ports and collections to fill out the next 6 months.
Switch sold like gangbusters the last 2 months. A good majority of owners still have Zelda/Mario/Kart/Pokken/Arms/Splat to play. Add in some 3rd party, a few of the announced games from the mini and there is plenty to hold over those 4 or 5 Million people that got a switch the last few months.
If I understand the post properly then no. Myself and a few others on Era were even teasing Tropical Freeze and Mario Tennis Aces before the Direct went live lol
Yeah your explicitly stated criteria is wrong and completely misrepresents what the Switch actually has. If you really want to argue with that logic then Sony only had Horizon and GT Sport (maybe Lost Legacy?) for the entirety of last year when the PS4 had a really strong year.They don't count because they don't fit my explicitly stated criteria
You probably can't answer this but did you know about those because of Nintendo themselves or because of 3rd parties involved with the directIf I understand the post properly then no.

I can't really say but I'll reference you to this:You probably can't answer this but did you know about those because of Nintendo themselves or because of 3rd parties involved with the direct
In other words is it possible for you to miss something lol, could a direct be happening on the 18th that you don't know about or would that be impossible for you not to know

Ok even as a commentary this fails because Nintendo still has fun games coming out.My post is more a commentary of how Nintendo seen as a publisher of original and fun games has dropped the ball, not the state of Nintendo Switch as a video game platform.
This despite the fact that they merged their handheld and console lines, so you'd expect a barrage of fun and original games published, and preferably developed by, Nintendo. But no

Just remembered this as well, IF a Direct did happen this week, a big update at Gamestop a couple of days after would make total sense, depending on what's announced. People also have gone through his posts and have backed him up, he isn't making it up. May not mean anything at all, though. So it's anyone's guess. Not making any predictions, let's just wait and see.

Well, we have until Friday till we know for sure.
Also, I wish they didn't disable the 'Top Poster's functionality :(

Who's to say you don't want to sit in a puddle? Maybe the direct is happening and this was the plan all along...

I blame you for this
kiosk updates happen all the time. the current stuff has fire emblem warriors as a playable. if nintendo updates quarterly then it makes sense to refresh these consoles with games being shown off for the next 3-6 months.
Wait a second maybe the puddle is a clue too :)Who's to say you don't want to sit in a puddle? Maybe the direct is happening and this was the plan all along...
Pikmin has puddles kind of lol that's the only thing I could think of in a few secondsDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Melt
Or Ice Climbers: Global Warming
Hmmm.....but your comment was only for general direct ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm apparently joining late but why do people think were getting a normal direct so soon after a mini? A mini that covered multiple titles from first and third parties for the first half of this year at that, I'm just confused why anyone thinks were getting another direct so soon. I mean I could see like a FE one like they did last year and also do the next Heroes update along with it but not a big direct.https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...nstore_switch_demo_unit_just_received_a_huge/

Historically every Direct Mini has been followed with a full direct within the next 20 days.I'm apparently joining late but why do people think were getting a normal direct so soon after a mini?

Simpsons Road Rage 2. Flanders is a timed exclusive driver.
The store staff can't generally do shit to the demo systems at all anymore. They're locked up, and the system runs a Demo specific program that doesn't let you go to the normal home screen.I'm apparently joining late but why do people think were getting a normal direct so soon after a mini?

In regards to the reddit post yeah what the guy is saying sounds right but it doesn't mean anything. When I worked at Gamestop they would update the Wii U and Wii Demo units with new content that would activate on a certain day but I can't remember a single time that actually was because of any real announcements largely because the store staff could just set the system ahead to whatever date and it would activate the updated material so it would get leaked like instantly. Maybe the Switch demo units work differently but the way hes saying the rep did it it certainly doesn't sound like its any different from how they did it before.
I feel like we'll get something before Bayonetta 2 comes out, so mid-feb.In all seriousness I doubt you're teasing but I do think we are going to see a Direct by the end of February at the latest. I could also see this month but who knows.
I always had a key to the demo units and the reps told us how to bypass the demo program in case we ever had to do anything to the unit, at times they would just send us the update disks and let us do it ourselves instead of having a rep come out to do it. Not saying its not different now but it seems very similar to how it was before which is why I'm skeptical.The store staff can't generally do shit to the demo systems at all anymore.

Also Nintendo has a slight history of a big direct right after a mini. Nintendolife had a bit on it.

Not only that, but there are many games coming soonish that weren't covered. Many people also think they got the more minor games out of the way so that they weren't lost in the shuffle of bigfer titles. No one here is certain, just hopeful.
It's also because there are a lot of things we know are coming soon that Nintendo could have discussed (like Bayonetta, Hollow Knight, online service) but didn't, and because they've told us to expect a lot of new types of games and new IPs specifically in 2018, and none of that was in this Direct.
I had a feeling that was you.Hey guys. As the author of those peculiar Fire Emblem tweets from a few pages back, I'd like to step up and provide a follow-up to them here that should help temper expectations a little bit.
Yes, I've been hearing for a while that another Nintendo Direct is in fact happening later this week, but the new Fire Emblem apparently won't be featured there either. I know nothing of its exact contents, but I've learned that it won't the one to reveal Fire Emblem. It sounds like another small Nintendo Direct from my understanding, no idea how they'll announce it. A more feature-length Nintendo Direct is supposedly planned for sometime in February, and, in my opinion, that's probably when we may see Fire Emblem after all. Here's hoping, I'm really excited for it. At this point I'm not thinking there'll be another Fire Emblem Direct though, sadly.
Apologies for the commotion. I do actually hear things from time to time, but I also realize it's important to not give people false hope if I can help it, so that's why I'm here to clarify. I hope you guys can forgive me. Either way, I think we can all agree it'd be best to wait until Nintendo says something before we can get all excited again.
I'm certainly not getting my hopes up. This Fire Emblem guy just gave me some optimism.

Hey thanks for coming forward. I'm with you on hoping we can see Fire Emblem 2018 next month, really excited to see what Intelligent Systems can do with the hardware.Hey guys.
