The dark ages are officially here.

There are literally no dated first party releases left.

The Direct that we thought would provide even a small amount of salvation turned out to be... a Mini Direct focusing on 3rd party titles. One new announcement, some DLC, and some reassurance regarding SMTV, but nothing first-party and little in the way of content.

Our eternal wait continues.

Nintendo pls. Free us from this speculation hell.
(Thanks to MondoMega for the banners and thanks to all the previous OT makers for all the content I've shamelessly copy and pasted! Also thank you and congratulations to Scrawnton for coming up with the thread's subtitle!)

Because you lot can't be trusted some guidelines need to be laid down before we can move forward. This thread serves as a quarantine zone social space for Nintendo fans (and non-Nintendo fans alike!) to discuss Nintendo Directs and everything that surrounds them. It has quickly grown into a sort of community with all the potential problems, and benefits, that entails. As such I'd ask that you all be as friendly as possible both to each other and the many insiders and industry members who interact with the thread. No bad vibes, ya hear?

And no harassing insiders/other industry-connected individuals (or anyone else for that matter). Doing so can only make life worse for everyone. So don't do it.

Also please do not post fake Direct announcements. This can be a bannable offense even if meant as a 'joke'.


As is customary I shall now post the sacred texts that this thread is based on.

Firstly there is the official permission granted to us by Nibel that establishes this thread's purpose:

The leakers are right! Shout out to Kelios for not only knowing about the existence of a Direct but being able to say when it would be announced!

But none of us expected what we actually got:


OK, so it wasn't all old stuff. In terms of new things we got a 're-confirmation' of Shin Megami Tensei V alongside a reveal of Shin Megami Tensei: Noctune HD. Outside of that we got new DLC for Cadence of Hyrule alongside details of both Rogue Company, Hi-Rez's new shooter, and WWE Battlegrounds.

With that out of the way I'd like to post this screenshot from the prior OT:

I find this mockery to be an insult to my very character. As such, I have updated my table. Here it is:

GUIDELINES

Because you lot can't be trusted some guidelines need to be laid down before we can move forward. This thread serves as a quarantine zone social space for Nintendo fans (and non-Nintendo fans alike!) to discuss Nintendo Directs and everything that surrounds them. It has quickly grown into a sort of community with all the potential problems, and benefits, that entails. As such I'd ask that you all be as friendly as possible both to each other and the many insiders and industry members who interact with the thread. No bad vibes, ya hear?

And no harassing insiders/other industry-connected individuals (or anyone else for that matter). Doing so can only make life worse for everyone. So don't do it.

Also please do not post fake Direct announcements. This can be a bannable offense even if meant as a 'joke'.

As is customary I shall now post the sacred texts that this thread is based on.

Firstly there is the official permission granted to us by Nibel that establishes this thread's purpose:

One point I'd like to address: while there will be ultimately some kind of overlap between 1st party discussions and Direct discussions, I imagine the Direct thread would be more focused on speculation, possible leaks and rumors than this one. It would basically be a thread to contain "all the madness" in one place to keep this thread more level-headed and on-topic.

We've discussed to have a dedicated thread after Moon's suggestion yesterday and came to the conclusion that this might work for the best going forward. So: if anybody is interested to make that thread, they are officially allowed to do so.

Only thing I'd like to ask for is that the OP keeps the opening post updated and tries to keep up with the discussion/speculation.


Then we have the official founding charter made by the first OP, one Kevin360:

The purpose of this thread:

To better contain the madness of ResetERA's Nintendo Direct speculation, and keep it relatively separate from the Nintendo First-Party thread.

As a general rule, let's try to avoid too much "reset the clock" type posts, until of course, we have a really good reason to think it's time to actually be resetting the clock. Madness must have some modicum of reasoning, you know?

ALSO: DO NOT MESSAGE/HARASS AND TAG 'INSIDERS' (this should go without saying, but they've alluded these things crossing the line)


And finally some more tips on how to deal with insiders from Furtive Pygmy:

1) Don't blindly trust in anything insiders say. Take it as information of yet to be confirmed validity and a basis for further speculation, nothing more.
2) If it doesn't pan out, deal with it. It doesn't affect you in any way, either way.
3) If it does pan out, great. It's not like that means they should be put on a pedestal.
4) Don't insult or harass them. Just move on and draw your own conclusions on whether or not you still want to listen to what they have to say.
Just my 0.02$.

If "Mario Sports" is the big new holiday title, count me out haha. I've got enough games to play with visitors. I'm picturing a higher budget Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

A good FZero would redeem them tho
