brazil, unfortunately
I dunno how to link so this is the best I could do

little harsh but well.. not gonna try to tell what mods should or shouldn't do.

just one day, he'll be back for the weekend.

It would be so hilarious if a Mini Direct would happen now that he is banned again lol.
I kinda don't want a direct now.

anyway, glad Zippo is still around. I would advise you to follow Nate's way of sharing your info: just give guidelines of what you know without being too much specific. this way you protect your sources and yourself.

My dog who works in front of Nintendo barked to me whisperingly that Directs are now called Borkborks and that I should get a life.

Im sure they will have some great first party games for late summer and the fall, but do they have anything else besides animal crossing and mystery dungeon before e3? Because if so i can totally see that next direct happening closer to or at e3

I'm sure XenoblaDE, Paper Mario, a casual game, a WiiU port and Bravely Default 2 will release before E3.

While there's nothing confirmed yet, they're not going to go all of April and May and part of/all of June without releasing something. That's the entire first quarter of their next financial year. From what we've heard, safe guesses include at least be one Wii U port and probably Xenoblade DE in that time and maybe other things too. Last year they had digital releases and a Labo kit in that time, as well as Mario Maker 2 at the end of June. The year before that they had multiple Wii U ports, a couple of Labo kits, and other new games like Sushi Striker and Mario Tennis: Aces in that quarter.

So there are definite question marks about how much there'll be, but there will be first-party releases in that quarter.

So turns out Nintendo isn't dropping a direct on Valentine's day without a single tease who knew

Part of me thinks April might be another month without first-party releases. Animal Crossing could easily carry Switch through that month and there's third-party stuff like Minecraft Dungeons, Trials of Mana and Wonderful 101 all set for April, so it's hardly an empty month.

Emily said things would pick up from May onwards, too.

I think this is worth considering. It explains why we aren't getting a General Direct or a Mini (lol) this month. They can wait until early March if they don't have anything major for April, except maybe some e-shop game.

I believe somebody said that there will be a April release. I'm betting on Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

Realistic expectations for a mini direct:

XenoblaDE release date (may)
Pikmin 3 release date (april?)
Trials of mana demo
Minor Nintendo game for june
A couple of third party release dates maybe
