Soooo I have no idea what's going on in here but...are we still speculating on a date oooorrrr?
Still on team Animal Crossing direct on January 23rd and general direct on the 30th. Believe!
Funny thing is that this is also true for me AND even with only the games we know of so far, I'd have enough to play this year already.
TMS, maybe Mystery Dungeon, Trials of Mana, XenoblaDE, Bravely Default 2 and whatever I'm forgetting about right now. Plus backlog titles like Torna, Ni No Kuni, Octopath, ... Though I'd need the release dates for stuff like XenoblaDE or BD2.
It's not as if I needed a direct with new games.
My tears are not theirs to make. I'll look to the future as they cling to the past. Also Luigi's Mansion 3 and Dark Souls should help me pass the time.
....is the real Team February made up of the people who spend their time actually playing games???
Not necessarily. You are just being negative. I like to think the Direct will be very long so Nintendo preferred to move these games with longer presentations out of the general Direct.
With a fairly big Pokemon direct AND a Smash DLC presentation back-to-back?
There's no way on earth that there's going to be a direct in January. February at the earliest.

i was staunch team january for so long but i feel like i must defect to february :( prove me wrong, tendo
I mean Nintendo could do another Jan. 23 Direct like they did in 2013. Sure it would break a 5 year "pattern", but they broke the "Pokemon Direct > General Direct within a week later" combo. Latter half of January is just as likely as early February in my opinion.
I mean, they need to start talking about their big Holiday title soon.
They didn't announce their 2018 big holiday title until March and didn't give details about it until June. They have plenty of time.
We are only halfway through the month, there's no reason to think it won't be.
The "first half of the month" thing is irrelevant, we haven't had a Pokemon Direct then a smash Direct within a week before either (correct me if I'm wrong )
what's this about? could soliani's next game skip switch? the word "AAA" scares me when it comes to the chances of games being released on switch.
After two different Directs announced I lost all my hope for this month lol
That's fair but don't Smash Directs usually come shortly before a general one, and Pokemon ones do too?
I can't remember both of them happening before a Direct like it would be if one comes this month still but that doesn't feel like a huge break from precedent
Some people took the lack of a Direct as proof that Switch has far worse first party support than Wii U, that Nintendo aren't planning any big or new releases, and that we should all despair because a Direct might happen a few weeks later than we thought it would.
Personally, I for one welcome our new Nintendoomed Overlords.
other than for publishers who have specific switch teams, you're probably right :(
Well, AAA third party games usually aren't what I connect with the Switch as a platform. That's sad news nonetheless. M+R was simply a good game and not getting another one from the same team is certainly a loss.
It's been two years and a half since Mario+Rabbids was released. It's not like they haven't been doing anything since then. Knowing Ubisoft, they probably work at multiple games within the same studio. The fact that they're looking for some people for a AAA project now does not mean they haven't been working on another game with Nintendo. We'll have to wait and see what they'll announce when the time is ready to be fully sure.
Wait, a new M+R is very likely nonetheless.
Their "prestigious" AAA project could be an Ubisoft IP or something related to Nintendo (maybe M+R itself? It's not a prestigious IP, but Mario itself surely is).
It's weird to think that I might not buy a single retail game until April (undecided on Animal Crossing and Mystery Dungeon).
Well, you're not wrong with the latter half. But how is a M+R sequel very likely? Haven't seen anything indicating it's coming, maybe aside from the good sales numbers, which don't necessitate a sequel, though.
Do you still buy games physically in general?
E: ooops, dp. Sorry.
I warned you all that you'll have to wait till at least Jan 21st for a Direct since Bamco needs to reveal their new iM@S game in their own stream on Jan 20th first before it can be shown in a Direct. You let gut feelings and coincidences cloud your judgements and ignored the obvious facts.
