in 2 and a half hours
...or tomorrow at around the same hour
Shouldn't it be 1 and a half hour because of daylight savings?
It won't be announced today. The first chance is Tuesday 9 am Eastern
The Direct announcements are always at 11 pm in Japan, which translates to 6 am PT/9 am ET (or 7 am PT/10 am ET during the DST)
Even though it won't be announced today, if it's this week shouldn't we start to hear more rumblings from insiders?
3D Land Bundle won't happen.
1. It takes them enough time to port over Wii U games. We heard several times from insiders that some of the ports took a considerable amount of time to make.
2. while a Wii U Port can be released nearly untouched, only with 1080p support, remastering a 3DS title would be much more demanding for a studio. They need to ensure that it still looks good on the big screen, that would mean redoing most of the textures, assets and adding a whole lot of effects.
3. Nintendo doesn't to bundles. NSMBU + NSLU is an exception, because they share 99% of the assets, animations etc. I don't know more examples of bundled Nintendo titles. It would've been more likely to have DKCR (which looks decent in HD and it also works on the Nvidia Shield) added to Tropical Freeze, but that also didn't happen because they know that they can sell a single game for $60 and still have extraordinary sales.
I do hope for extra levels though, and if it's the studio that did the Captain Toad port, this is pretty likely.

Nintendo Directs don't have to leak to exist, they aren't Ubisoft games.
The best thing was in the september direct thread. He was banned like 7 hours before the direct aired, and he still was by far the one who posted the most on the thread when the direct started to air lmao. Dark Cloud is our icon. Nintendo Era wouldn't be the same without him. (Just like Nintendo Era isn't the same without PhantomThieves, miss him !!)
I don't recall anyone saying the September direct was coming, but I can't remember
I think we might've had someone noteworthy saying that we would probably get one before TGS; but since the September Direct came so early into the month I don't think we got many hints beforehand.
Wasn't the movement in 3D world limited to 8-way or 12-way direction? I've never played it though I really like the idea, but this is the kind of detail that I see bothering me a lot; especially after Odyssey that controls so well.
Looking back Liam made a tweet about the direct the day it was going to be announced
I'm pretty sure 3D World's movement is 12-way, yeah. It might take a bit to adjust if you're used to the free movement of most 3D Mario games (especially Odyssey), but the game is designed around it, so it'll feel natural enough eventually.
Is it 12-way? I thought it was 8-way digital, since it was designed to be played on a D-pad
OP

It's hard to find a solid answer online, but the range of movement definitely seems to be more than 8 directions (despite more than that not being possible with the sideways Wii Remote).
Not during the switch era, it has always been Tuesday or Wednesday morning.
Cant say it didnt during the 3ds-Wii u days.
I'm never sure in this thread any more what's a joke and what's not :)
Any idea why NoA is dragging their feet with Brain Age? Are they just waiting for a Direct shadow drop or something?
OP
OP
but for real Dark Cloud deserves kudos for posting literally 3 times as much as anyone else and actually making a decent post every time. if I posted that much it would be shitposts and babyrage as far as the eye can see
I'm sure we'll answer the door for him if he is the one who knocks
Is it possible that they would bundle Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess? I know, it would be an obviously fair deal but Nintendo would probably want a bigger cut. But I can't see them dragging on any longer in bringing all of these games on the Switch.
It's kinda odd because I don't really see them not releasing 3D World, but they gotta do another Zelda and them having to decide between either seems unlikely too for me.

Unlikely as it may be, I wish Nintendo would do another GCN Collectors edition bundle. (Only with TP in this one, as well as the Zelda OOT and MM ports from 3DS)
They will just rerelease them in order. Wind Waker first and then Twilight Princess a year or so later.
Not true:
There are similarities and trends with the Directs, but trying to dictate a strict pattern or schedule isn't possible. Nintendo does what Nintendo wants.
I had a suspicion but I was not sure it was him lol. Unless you are joking.
If I remember correctly, Emily said in September when would be Direct. And in February was King Zell. This time they haven't said anything...

and because of daylight savings, in america we can expect the announcement in 35 minutes!! it's happening, folks!!!
What, The One Who Knocks is PhantomThieves ? He does post just as much threads per day, but he never comes here.
And I can't believe that PhantomThieves had no idea that the first 3 three dungeons of ALTTP is only the introduction of the game.
It would be their 4th home system in a row getting a full release for Twilight Princess if they did, I could see them bundling them both together
I have a feeling in my bones that this next Direct is going to be earlier rather than later this year. They will at least have a small one to show off Animal Crossing more and give a few more release dates to round out the Spring before a bigger one in a few months. If they do that it could be a similar timing as the 2018 Direct schedule (I'm counting the mini-Direct in January).
If not that, it might just be a blowout big Direct. I'm excited.

Someone sent this link to me earlier today. Note, it's just speculation:
I think we will get a direct in January (a Mario golf game will be announced for a June release), an Animal Crossing direct in March, an indie direct in April, a Mario Golf direct in May and then E3 in June.
Hmm. It's true they haven't posted about it happening.
Nintendo won't mind dragging out bringing Wii U ports over to Switch - it means they've got more games in the years ahead to fill in any blanks or to compensate for any delayed projects. And I think we'll get one of these HD remasters per year rather than as a double-pack, as well as another top-down Zelda from EPD/Grezzo. Zelda is an annual franchise now, after all, with either a new entry, spin-off or remaster/remake every year since 2013 (and with more than one release in some years).
Animal Crossing already got a dedicated Direct, so I think it will just get something in the upcoming Direct and then ads.
