I can't stop laughing.
If we get a direct this week and a bigger direct with Yoshi, Dragon Quest XI, and Fire Emblem in February... holy shit. I can't say I expect that scenario, but if that came to fruition I think I would be the happiest person on this website. And it sucks that people take everything you say and run with it. I get that you're just trying to quell people's questions on your twitter, but what can you do. Thanks for stopping by to clarify!
What your missing is the 18th direct, obviously.
Reading through the thread the guy says they will get a combination of 10 demos/videos on the 22nd. Could just be stuff from the 11th direct, unless I'm missing something
So you're hearing possible direct this week, but no fire emblem? I'm assuming you are in a position where you would get this sort of information
Yup, to be clear it's been my understanding that this Direct will be on Thursday the 18th. Was really sure it was supposed to be the next big one but unfortunately that doesn't seem like the case to me anymore.
Gotcha on the rep giving the codes to bypass etc. I could see that. Nintendo may be more on lockdown. Regardless though, they've also proven with the golf Iwata tribute that used to be in the system that they can program things to not work if the date is changed. So we'll see.
Again not to pry, but do you think it'll be a focused direct - as in on a certain game/series? Or just another mini?
I'm not sure Resetera could handle another thread like last time.
This is another Switch Direct right? Or is it a hybrid (heh) Switch + 3DS Direct or what? :P
Nintendo's marketing has gone so guerilla that it will soon be revealed that in the Fire Emblem canon, Chrom traveled to the future to leak a Nintendo Direct.
It does have a certain theme to it but as far as I know it's not about a particular type of game or series. Length-wise it's supposed to be really small but I don't know if it's formally a Mini Direct or not.
That came off a douchey but I didn't mean it too whoops. It was supposed to be playful but I guess I forget that typing removes quite a bit of the nuance of speech.
Cool cool, thanks!
So do people get banned on this forum for spreading false rumors? Just wondering in case this turns out to be BS. Also have you talked to the admins about verifying your identity one way or another to back up these claims? I mean they did lock the post with your tweets after all so I remain extremely skeptical about what your saying here especially with how vague you are being.
If this upcoming direct is indeed a small one, it may mainly focus on 3DS titles slated for this year.
With that out of the way, Nintendo can use the the remaining time for the supposed direct in February to focus on:
With that out of the way, Nintendo can use the the remaining time for the supposed direct in February to focus on:
- Previously announced games (Yoshi, Octopath, etc.)
- Big third party games (Wolfenstein 2, Dragon Quest XI, GTA V?, etc.)
- Online Infrastructure
inb4 the Direct is focused on Switch Online, reveals Smash, Mario Maker and Animal Crossing to get people to buy the online.
obviously not but a man can dream.
I wonder if they are changing things around to give more time to announce details of paid online, VC, and cloud saves. A full direct will likely have to feature those types of things, and it would be interesting to see if they are going with the smaller ones to avoid any scrutiny about those questions.
Hmm if it's not about any certain game sounds like it could just be focused on the online service / firmware and nothing else
Kind of weird if we're getting another small Direct this week. Would've made more sense to just combine the two into one big one, I would think.
EDIT: Unless it's about online stuff and not actual games.

Honestly can't say for sure since I don't know the exact contents of it. I would personally be very surprised if it didn't at least pertain to the Switch though, given it's the hot thing now.
I heard smaller actually. That's why I want to emphasize it may not be a very big deal, so hyping it up doesn't feel all that appropriate. The Direct in February is the one you really want though!
This would make a TON of since going by what Chrom is saying.
Honestly if this supposed Direct (hell, let's call it a Micro Direct as they did that on June 1st, 2015) is even half as good as this one was, I'd be happy.
I don't need Animal Crossing/Fire Emblem/Pokemon (main)/Smash or anything of that caliber announced right now. Just give me more 3rd-party games, ports and ones we've been lacking news on, such as Tales of, Taiko, Story of Seasons, whatever the hell Codemasters and Spike Chunsoft are doing on it, etc.

But it's apparently even shorter than the last one, which goes against their typical indie showcases where they give them all some time to shine.
Based on this...I'm guessing maybe it'll be a Nindie showcase, 3DS showcase, or mobile showcase. I'd be down for that. I'm surprised that we might get a big Direct in February, but honestly, there were a number of odd missing games in that last one, so I guess it makes sense.
I do still question why Nintendo would split Directs up like that, why not just a big single one?
My only guess would be to stay in the conversation. A big direct may be better received, but splitting it up keeps them in the headspace.
As people said they probably don't want whatever they announce at the next big Direct to overshadow these small announcements.
Hahahahaha! That's what they want you to think. Reset the clock guys n gals, it's happening!
If this is legit I could see it being an update on 3DS games, Zelda Touch, a weirdly short indie showcase or an update on their online that goes "Oops! Turns out online is hard. We're delaying our service to 2019. As a way to show you our apologies, all Splatoon owners will receive an exclusive Switch™ t-shirt for splatting on the go! Stay fresh!!"
I remember them saying they were thinking of retooling how they did directs a while back, maybe it's taken until now for them to get their new plan into action.

Anyone familiar with Chrom's past in regards to leaks? If Chrom himself isn't comfortable telling us that is.
How you would know that it has a certain theme without knowing anything about what that theme is exactly is confusing to me.
I would also be way more excited if you contacted mods.
