I like how we expecting Direct just because Direct would fit this week and based on nothing else,
even same could be said for next week.
Best Buy games can be announced whenever, they've had listings in the past that were live over 7 months before announcement (like Smash)I mean to be honest the only reason I was hoping for one this week was because of the Best Buy leak, but now it seems like some people are saying that's probably not true either now so I don't know what to think.

Yeah I'm fully behind them being accurateSo regardless of a direct existing or not, do you believe those listings are accurate? I'm just thirsty for Persona on Switch to be honest, and the wild ride of whether it's happening or not isn't that fun.
Jason Schreier heavily insinuated Persona 5 isn't coming to Switch unless Nintendo is handling the port themselves. Do you think Nintendo will port the game internally and that's how we get it?
Is there a reason you keep downplaying people speculating on this possible Direct so hard? No offense, but I've never seen you act like this. Not only here, but on Twitter too.Best Buy games can be announced whenever, they've had listings in the past that were live over 7 months before announcement (like Smash)
Not a single credible source has acknowledged that there will be a Direct
From what he's heard. He's gotten things wrong before. I still fully expect persona 5 to release on switchJason Schreier heavily insinuated Persona 5 isn't coming to Switch unless Nintendo is handling the port themselves. Do you think Nintendo will port the game internally and that's how we get it?
It's exhausting to see speculation on every video and tweet when it's led by GamingIntel, a site that has a terrible track record and promoted piracy. Even their September Direct accuracy was against embargo as a publisher told basically every journalist about itIs there a reason you keep downplaying people speculating on this possible Direct so hard?

Because Jason seems pretty confident Atlus themselves are not porting P5 to Switch.I'm not sure why Nintendo porting it themselves would make it more likely for it to come out.

Of course there may be a Direct but why are we giving this site the time of day?
Because you might have already been screened with the Nintendo direct. We just like having fun. The game I'm wanting out of the direct is probably never coming.It's exhausting to see speculation on every video and tweet when it's led by GamingIntel, a site that has a terrible track record and promoted piracy.

Personally, idc about Gaming Intel. I was saying last month I could see a direct April 11th only because of how Nintendo does their General Directs.It's exhausting to see speculation on every video and tweet when it's led by GamingIntel, a site that has a terrible track record and promoted piracy.

Godot arrived on the Switch today though
I like Arlo a lot in a pre direct fase. Just along for the ride and not acting like a know it all.Personally, idc about Gaming Intel. I was saying last month I could see a direct April 11th only because of how Nintendo does their General Directs.
Gaming Intel is just feeding people what they want to hear while being shady. It sucks, but many people won't care who tells them a Direct is coming. Once someone like Gaming Intel says "Direct coming April 11th", then you have media and many many many Youtubers wanting to give Gaming Intel this coverage. So it spreads and spreads and here we are. I've seen Youtubers say "get ready for the Direct this week". They just feed the fire and add fuel to their subscribers. When subscribers see their favorite Youtubers giving these people like Gaming Intel cred then they follow.
These Youtubers or fake leakers on Twitter don't care what shady crap Gaming Intel does. They're all along for the ride, the clicks and views.
Arlo is pretty cool. I usually like his videos, especially his Paper Mario videos (yes he wants the series to return to its roots).I like Arlo a lot in a pre direct fase. Just along for the ride and not acting like a know it all.
Hey, so...
Some of you may have seen that I was on Kinda Funny Games saying I didn't think Persona 5 was coming to Switch. I'm afraid to tell you all that, despite Best Buy (lol), I still feel that way. I think Persona 5 Royale is a PS4 game, and I'm pretty sure that P5S is something else entirely.
I guess it's possible that a P5 Switch port is coming separately, and it's also possible that the people I talk to aren't omniscient, which is why I don't like to definitely declare "Persona 5 is not coming to Switch," but, look, don't let these "insiders" get your hopes up too much is all I'm saying.
(Video game bloggers, please don't turn this post into a news article on your websites.)
This makes me think he knows P5R and P5S aren't a Switch port and that Atlus isn't making a port. He's insinuating that if it's happening, it'd have to be from Nintendo.It's a good question. And, again, for all I know, some corner of the Treehouse is secretly working on a port right now, which would make me THRILLED. All I can share is what I've heard, which is that it ain't Royal or S.
The last time it happened was when Marcus Sellars gave the right date for an upcoming Direct and insiders didn't want people to think he was reliable because of what was probably pure luck.Is there a reason you keep downplaying people speculating on this possible Direct so hard?

Except it's only been two years since BOTW came out. Twilight Princess was released in 2006, while Skyward sword was revealed in 2009 (at least according to Wikipedia), which would be three years in between a release and announcement.Damiani from Easy Allies did some research. He said this is the longest we've ever been from a mainline Zelda release to the next mainline Zelda game announcement. We're over 2 years now. So he's expecting the next 3D Zelda to be revealed at E3!
Yeah I understand. You don't want people to think this person really has inside info when they don't and they do shady stuff.The last time it happened was when Marcus Sellars gave the right date for an upcoming Direct and insiders didn't want people to think he was reliable because of what was probably pure luck.
There's never no chance. It's likely that the "insiders" claiming that there is one are false but that doesn't mean that it's impossible that one could happen. They do sometimes just pop up out of nowhereLast night I was thinking that, maybe, there was a decent chance this week.
This morning I'm thinking no chance.
I think rather than announcement he means acknowledgement meaning it would only be a quote from a Nintendo higher-up saying "We're working on a new Zelda game" rather than a trailer with gameplay and a title and suchExcept it's only been two years since BOTW came out. Twilight Princess was released in 2006, while Skyward sword was revealed in 2009 (at least according to Wikipedia), which would be three years in between a release and announcement.
Jason Schreier heavily insinuated Persona 5 isn't coming to Switch unless Nintendo is handling the port themselves. Do you think Nintendo will port the game internally and that's how we get it?
Doubt. Aside from Catherine on PC (which was handled entirely by SEGA Europe and an external port studio) and Persona 1 and 2, Atlus don't port default versions of their games. If P5 is coming to the Switch, it'll be the re-release handled by themselves.Nintendo will not port Persona 5 to Switch internally, will hire Iron Galaxy or Panic Button and call it a day.
They probably distribute it, too.
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks released Between TP and SS, so Damiani is right. Its been over 2 years since Botw released. By E3 it'll be 2 years and a few months. We haven't gone this long from mainline Zelda release to announcement of the next mainline Zelda.Except it's only been two years since BOTW came out. Twilight Princess was released in 2006, while Skyward sword was revealed in 2009 (at least according to Wikipedia), which would be three years in between a release and announcement.
