This is possible - Nate said that there was a possibility the Mario Collection would be announced, rather than released, in September, so it would line up pretty well.
There was always going to be a Pro version if the Switch successor wasn't coming before the end of 2023, though with covid I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo tentatively shifted everything in their strategy by 6-12 months.
This was my read too but I hope to god we're wrong. I want the main course damn it.
Yes this makes sense. Maybe they do another 2017. Reveal in January, Launch in March.
I mean, if insiders start to suspect this thing's going to be a Partner Showcase, it would probably behoove them to say so sooner rather than later, so as to get out ahead of the inevitable outrage.
... Not that it will help them, I guess. Nintendo fans will be ravenous either way, with it so close to the Prophesied Date.

Partner Direct would not be interesting (unless it was like 40 minutes of brand new big game announcements).
So I don't think so.
Interesting take. They make me want to see more IPs from Nintendo. Astral Chain especially, I'd put it in my top 5 games of 2019.
Uh, maybe this is related to the rumor about a new Switch version. Thanks for the tip, as usual!
2021 could be really a "remake" of 2017, with a lot of new games, and hopefully BotW2 releasing alongside with the new Switch.
EDIT: nvm, misunderstood where you were coming from.
We know more Partner Showcases are coming so I am still worried that's what the 28th will be despite all the 'last stop' talk.
General this week and something in September? Very interesting. Getting all hyped up again...
Except like I said partner direct isn't interesting so he wouldn't say "September is going to be intresting to"
The new report definitely tracks with insiders saying this was always gonna be a light year on new stuff. Count me in for new hardware.
If it's nx-abcd, VR might be a possibility? Weird if we see this before nx-abcb though.

does this influence in anyway the kind of event expected for this friday?
Nintendo isn't going to announce hardware for 2021 ahead of the 2020 holiday shopping season.
The phrasing that September will be interesting "too" really leads me to believe that Cap heard something in addition to what he already knows, not something that would contradict it, so I'm inclined to agree.
And indeed, Cap swoops in for the reassurance. Very nice!
unless they wanna, in a weird way, prevent the switch from having stock issues. :D
...but haven't all the insiders strongly hinted general this week?
ERA: "NATE, CAP, DO THE THING!"
NATE/CAP: *sigh* "Nothing has changed. Now stop asking"
ERA: *cheers* "REASSURANCE!"
*two hours later*

Same. NO MORE of this.
It's TIME for a General Direct dang it!
congrats, you just found out the definition of REASSURANCE
I mean. It is a speculation thread. Interpreting and analysing vague hints and how they may change our interpretation of what's to come is part of the fun.
I find it interesting that Nintendo hasn't really made a new IP that's character driven with a set protagonist for a while.
Splatoon and Ring Fit use customisable avatars, ARMS is an ensemble cast.
I guess the closest would be Xenoblade but even that takes the Fire Emblem approach of a new cast for each game.
Like they haven't tried to make a new Mario, Link, Kirby etc character since like.... Pikmin with Olimar, who wasn't even the protagonist in 3 anyway lol.

Yep. This better be the General Direct we've been all waiting for for once.
Been waiting all year for it to happen!
So much reassurance🥺
Thank you Cap.
