I'm pretty sure that would be Hiro
Omg my hype is rising! Finally to hear that announcement of a new Direct will be a relief. What do you guys think Nintendo will say for the Direct?
Sometimes they say "look forward to Switch titles coming this Spring" or "look forward to Switch titles coming this year".
I hope it's the latter. I want it to say something like this one. Maybe give the time and not specific to a season.
I thought first. I prefaced what I said in my post. Not my fault. Don't talk down to me. I showed an example of what they've done in the past.I don't want to be mean, and I hope I'm not assuming anything...but you know what you did. So many people are going to see that without reading the date and your post and assume It's a new update. Seriously, think first.

Jesus, I almost had a heartattack!
It's cool, that you are hyped as we are...but the tweet was really unnecessary 😨
I'm sorry but who is John Harker, and where did he confirmed the direct for next week again? I can't keep up with all these "insiders" 🤷🏻♂️
Well I guess so, but now another "Insider" stepps in and posts a hint.
BTW: I think we will Hit 100 Pages before the Direct even begins, lol
Nice. 50 minutes is the big one and specific with saying Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion 3Tune in for 50 minutes of information focused on what's heading to the Switch and 3DS over the next few months, including new details about Fire Emblem and Luigi's Mansion 3
I think the frame is going to be "over the first half of 2019."
I'm not going to do the whole prediction laundry-list thing, but one thing I will say is that I expect Animal Crossing to come out a lot sooner than many people seem to be predicting. A lot of people seem to be assuming that because it and Pokémon are the two 2019 heavy hitters we already know about, that means those are going to be the holiday games, but I don't think AC is going to be a holiday or even fall title. June 28 seems like a good release date for it (and the Switch mini in NA/EU, though that won't be announced in this Direct).
In Japan I'm thinking AC will be sandwiched between DQXI S on, say, June 15 (with the Switch mini launching on that day in Japan), and Yo-kai Watch 4 on July 11, as sort of a one-two-three punch for the Switch and younger/casual audiences.
lol at Kingdom HeartsI know you are guys are not Fan of 4chan Leaks... but there you go.... would be my absolute dream Direct, but will likley not happen.

100 pages would be a far cry from the chaos that ensued last year.
Personally, regardless of release date, I think AC will be massively marketed and also get its own Direct (like Smash got).
Star Fox Grand Prix"The stars certainly seem to be aligning for next week".
There's a possible hint in there for a game that will be in the Direct. He likes to do that a lot.
Yep. That just makes it a bit more humiliating when something he's heard turns out to be fake, though, like when he spent two weeks elaborately spelling out "Metroid Premiere" with the first letter of each tweet, only for MPT to be a no-show at the Game Awards."The stars certainly seem to be aligning for next week".

I saw the stuff about them testing Kingdom Hearts but I assumed they meant 3.You might want to check back in this thread around the time when Zell made his leaks and some other insiders were sharing some stuff.
I was wondering about this just last night. It feels like, to me, AA is in an awkward position, with sales regressing. You'd know better than anyone if that's true, though.
I was thinking that they're going to try and move away from Nintendo, and also focus more on the west, with this next title. I figured the multiplat trilogy was an indication of these future plans, a part of a larger move to shooter wider with the series. If that's the case, they might not want to tie themselves so closely to Nintendo's marketing initiatives.
I think pretty much all AA games, at least on the 3DS, have primarily been revealed through TGS? Sometimes they reveal the game prior (AA5, DGS), but then they withhold any gameplay until TGS. If a game were to be revealed/details withheld until TGS, that'd be a four year gap in release from AA6 to AA7 (and three from DGS2), which definitely seems a bit long. If I'm right and they want to push the series more in the west, then maybe this time around we won't see such a dependence on TGS.

Obon is mid August but yeah Nintendo would want to release a big game before that (see Splatoon 2 in 2017)I've said I think AC will be July. There's a big holiday in July for Japan

Oops I got the month wrong. Not sure why I thought July. Yeah follow in Splatoon 2's footsteps.Obon is mid August but yeah Nintendo would want to release a big game before that (see Splatoon 2 in 2017)

I've given up on this dream. I don't ever see it coming unless Nintendo remakes the game.
I don't think Nintendo has ever announced a Direct in another Direct.I think expecting Pokémon in the Direct is kinda ask to be disappointed, Pokémon is usually announced in it's own direct. However I think it's possible for a Pokémon Direct reveal date.
They announced a fire emblem one during the switch January 2017 directI don't think Nintendo has ever announced a Direct in another Direct.

So, I'm playing around with a piece on the series either for a personal blog or to pitch, so I won't go into too much detail about how the series got here, but AA is definitely in an awkward spot. AA5 and AA6 both found themselves in the position of trying to please all the branches of the fandom - to the point that the writers specifically ended AA6 in such a way they'd have a ton of room to write the next game - but AA6 sold less than AA5, and the DGS games had some of the worst sales in the series.
I think the series goes multiplat, but I don't know if it goes day and date multiplat. That depends on how much of a relationship Nintendo and Capcom have over the series. I could easily see a Switch exclusive launch with ports down the line, or a Switch + Mobile with other consoles/PC later.
And yeah, TGS is the primary showcase for the series. AAI1, PLvsPW, AA5, and DGS1 were announced outside of TGS, but didn't get actual gameplay reveals/details until a following TGS. AAI2/AA6/DGS2 were announced at or around TGS. But I was expecting AA7 to show up at TGS last year and all we got was AA123, so maybe they're breaking away from that.
That's a shame. Hopefully we reach a point eventually where Nintendo isn't scared of the controversy, or society moves forward so that there is no controversy at all.Mother 3 AFAIK is a dead end
It was full steam ahead for a while but upon re-evaluation there were aspects of the game that weren't going to go without controversy
If y'all really getting fooled by a direct tweet on a Sunday evening it's no one's fault but your own lol
They did announce a FE Direct during the Threehouse broadcast after Switch Presentation. I hope this Direct will have a Threehouse as well.I don't think Nintendo has ever announced a Direct in another Direct.
