Why do we think the 13th is Direct and no announcement?

Panic mode. (but fingers crossed King Zell is right)

Multiple trusted insiders have said its the 13th and you have to ask why the mods/admins would all of a sudden allow this thread to exist when multiple threads have been locked over a months time.

That's because the First Party thread was filled with OT direct speculation nonsense.

I hope if there is a direct there's some cool fire emblem news. Really looking forward to that game.

The thread exists because people turned every single other Nintendo thread into a "when's the direct" thread. Not for any other reason.

What if the mods already knew the Direct was coming this week when they allowed it to be created? There was around 24 hours between the 2 events.
That is very possible. But even then there is a slight possibility that their information doesn't pan out for whatever possibility. But I don't want to harp on it too much since I trust that the Direct will be shown this week, barring extreme circumstances.
what are the odds we see AC?
I would say >85%. I was looking yesterday and couldn't find a single instance where the game that closed a Direct wasn't released or shown again after the next general Direct.

I'm sorry for my bad english, I wanted to ask why do we think it is the 13th instead of the 14th (the 13th being the announcement day).

Yes. You have an extremely poor track record at predicting when announcements will happen. That's why you hype them every hour.
He said 4.5 hours cause thats the time Nintendo usually puts out a tweet.
Either today or tomorrow if the direct is on the 13th.
(But wouldnt it be 5.5 hours? I am confuse)

Nah I don't have you on ignore lol. Someone made a bet with me once to try to get me an avatar. As you can tell I won the bet 😎

Lol my heart was beating so fast. Realizing somebody has you on ignore is really embarrassing lol.

But uhhhh.... you're a big Nintendo fan. You can't find a cool Link avatar or something? Lol

I'm expecting FFVII will be shadowdropped or come out the following day. I wonder when Final Fantasy 9 will come though. As much as I love 7, I love 9 even more.

Nintendo Japan or any of its official accounts hasn't tweeted yet, it's probably a long weekend in Japan so I wouldn't expect anything till tomorrow.

Tbh I haven't really cared to get an avatar lol.
I think you should go back to the pre-redeisgn Era and just use a transparent blank PNG as your avatar. Total emptiness is better than the big green "D" lol.

I did like that better than the "D" I have now.

One neat thing they could add with Mario Maker 2 is the ability to mix style sheets, use the Goombas from SMB1 in Super Mario World, for instance.

Directs are usually announced either 4 or 5 hours from now and the most likely date for the announcement is tomorrow

Hey enough with the avatar talk

I really don't want to end up in a situation where someone comes in and says:
"Remember that this thread is reserved for Direct speculation and general madness. Try to stick with it".

It would be too meta.

Just to be clear: I don't want this thread to go of the rails, but I fear that if no Direct comes this week, concern trolling and Nintendoomed posts will become a big problem. Not to speak of what people might say to zell.
That said, since the mods said the Direct thread was to be a thing "going forward", this thread will probably stay open if the direct is announced and simply go dormant for a while.
Whilst I don't agree with attacking people, which'll probably happen, I'm looking forward to the meltdowns and Nintendoom proclamations.

Seriously I never knew this. This is the first ever Nintendo Direct. I'm watching it now and Reggie does the "what's wrong with you?" meme we all know. I never knew it came from the first ever Nintendo Direct.
