It's too quiet by insiders. they're usually in here posting the day of the announcement
The March and September 2018 directs were announced on Wednesday
Thank you for the clarification! This is just a guess on my part, but one of the "Available SKU" that had been listed prior to that could be Bayonetta 3. Best Buy has offered pre-orders for over a year now, yet GameStop has yet to publish a page of its own. Unless they have been accepting pre-orders for it in-store?
Yes it can be announced tomorrow. Wednesday is just as suitable as Tuesday.
Pretty sure Direct announcements are at 2pm GMT/UTC, on twitter at least
If you want to look at when direct have been announced just search this on twitter:
direct (from:nintendoamerica)

So close, but actually Nintendo have negotiated a deal with the Christie estate; in a surprising twist, it's Death on the Nile. Link plays Poirot.
One usually, but they've mixed it up before. The first direct of last year was aired on wednesday which was very out of the blue.
Or maybe they've decided not to post to make the announcement come across as more of a surprise!
:(
Lol there is no way that Nintendo won't do a Direct until E3. There are plenty of games, that needs specific release dates, also marketing for Animal Crossing and Smash DLC, FE DLC + new announcements. It would be way too long to wait till E3 with all this stuff.
That explains it, thanks.
We just need Jonneh to swing by and make a goofy joke, and we'll be all good!
I know he's not literally an insider
This is true. The the main Nintendo insiders made a friendly appearance earlier

I'm starting to think we might actually not get a Direct until E3. Honestly nowadays Nintendo could get by just dropping news on Twitter. We don't NEED a Direct. The games will still come without one.
That being said, if I weren't familiar with the hints on here, I'd think 2020 was going to be an absolutely barren year. Animal Crossing (which I love but many don't), Xenoblade coming at some point, a particularly niche Wii U port, and BOTW2 given treatment one step up from Metroid Prime 4's announcement... our only hope for this year comes from sources outside Nintendo.

Oh, we in doom mode already? No direct till E3? Come on :D That's out of the question, apart from that no one would know that apart from the highest at Nintendo.
Might not be today, might not be this month but something is coming, the longest part of the wait is behind us.

To me a January direct makes more sense, we know we aren't too far from big Xbox and Playstation conferences for their next consoles. January would allow Nintendo to get out ahead of that and show what they've got. Which is exactly why they'll do it it in february, because that doesn't make sense.

I know it's not in line with any pattern but something about there not being a Direct at at all feels right, somehow? I'm probably in the trough of my cabin fever but I'm entertaining the possibility of Twitter finally surmounting the old Direct format
Nice tryUM
