I still believe in the 'general Direct right after Pokémon Direct - algorithm'. And since there's only one day between announcement and direct for general directs, Wednesday will be the date to look out for

It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it could raise some questions from investors when they have the investor meeting on January 31st.
They needed to explain extensively the DLCs and that format wouldn't fit in a Direct in terms of pace.
Yeah. I call BS on that. So much doom & gloom! Similar sentiments on the XBox & PS thread too...must be real world feelings bleeding into our gaming consciousness.
Edit: saw the explanation of announced versus actually planned.
That's fair. I stayed out of the pokemon direct thread for my own sanity, people in speculation were pretty level headed.
And I'm sure all Nintendo needs to do is say that they have a lot of content planned for the year that will be announced soon.
Man... all those Twitter Guys i don't know... Should we give this Guy any attention? Analyst? Insider?
News are totally coming before the end of this month, whether Direct or not. Can you imagine Furukawa/ Nintendo to investors:
We've got nothing but Animal Crossing and XenobladeCDE, folks. You can go with your families now. Please, inform your loved ones that there are RPGs, and then there's Dragon Quest, the series that defined the genre and the latest entry has charged onto Nintendo Switch in full force, pairing the series beloved style and perfectly balanced battles with the most impressive scope and elaborate story in series history. Where there is light, darkness follows, for no one does this ring truer than the Luminary, the boy the prophecy says will succeed the last hero and protect the world from a terrible land. In an odd twist of fate, the boy's royal birthright is snatched from him. On the day becomes an adult, he finally discovers his true heritage and the powers that make him the Luminary. When he goes to the king of the largest kingdom for guidance, he is dubbed darkspawn, so begins the perilous journey of a hunted hero and the ragtag band of adventurers will join him on his quest to set things right. Adventure. Exploring. Comrades. Skill build up. Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition is now available on the Nintendo Switch. Metroid Prime 4 has been re-rebooted and is now a Samus X Star Fox game where you can only fly with Samu's ship around.
We're already into 2020, that was fine in late 2019 but we can't really pretend this is fine now.
"Hey, Bill, take the Pikmin 3 site down. I want to watch them freak out."
For real. People should stop bringing up the investor's meeting as an indication for a Direct this month. Neither Nintendo nor the investors care about the line up as long as the sales numbers are fantastic which they are.
We had the same freaking discussion last year too.
"Nintendo has to air a Direct before the meeting and announce new games otherwise the investors won't be pleased."
What happened? Nintendo didn't care and aired the Direct two weeks after the meeting.
Mind you I am not saying there won't be a Direct this month but the investor's meeting is 100% not an indication of one happening before the 31st January.
Like 2 weeks in.
Theyll announce more stuff at some point, if it's not january it will be soon.
Besides they also have fire emblem, smash and pokemon dlc coming in the first half of the year so they have a decent amount of stuff to release, I doubt there is a ton more for the first half of the year.
I was answering to the Spanish guy on twitter that said Nintendo has only 2 games announced for this year.
Not really, but the absence of insider teases makes people skeptical of course. However if a direct takes place this week, it will most likely be on Thursday. And since the insiders get info only one day earlier, there's still plenty of room to hope.
Also a whole lot of other indicators.

Last year they already had lots of games announced for 2019 before the direct though

It was more quiet because we expected it, but Emily did confirm it for us
Exactly; they had Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, main-series Pokemon and a few other titles announced for investors last year.
This year doesn't compare so far.
Nintendo will open the Direct with a major third-party exclusive I bet
Either TWEWY 2 or Monster Hunter
Either TWEWY 2 or Monster Hunter
Usually when we are a couple days out for a big Direct, there is a lot more insider buzz and chatter.
They control well but everything else about them is disgusting
Monster Hunter Land. I handheld spinoff of Monster Hunter World. Followed up by Monster Hunter 3D Land.
I'm on #TeamFebruary
Nintendo isn't feeling the pressure to do one yet.
1. All radars should ring if you are close to an emerald
2. If levels have verticality, they need to be easy to get around like Pumpkin Hill and not the two space levels
