Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT5| Hello darkness my old friend...

Ugh Nintendo. We get it. Why are they advertising a remake more than freaking Animal Crossing?
But Nintendo's pattern are mysterious. It may be dropped later.
Lets wait a few weeks and see if we get an animal crossing direct first, they might be doing these now to get it out of the way for AC news
To be fair it's up to TPC, so doesn't really have to do with AC
I mean, AC might also have been there but it might be embargoed until a later date.
I've already suffered so much. It all feels the same. Now excuse me as I curl up into a morph ball and cry.
we're past the realm of zero chances
there was zero chance of us not getting a Direct by now, but look at where we are
patterns are dead
that said I don't think we're getting anything on the weekend either
To be fair this one probably needs the exposure more. AC is like #1 or #2 on the eshop already a month+ before launch :P
Can confirm, stuff like this always happens out of nowhere.
Really, I don't get why Nintendo is being so secretive about Animal Crossing at this point. We're in mid February, release date is just around the corner and very limited info is avaliable. It's their biggest gun for this year's first half and been should have been more hyped at this point.
If I was a shareholder, would ask why they're holding back their line-up like this as it's clearly generating doubt, anxiety and uncertainty, to the point some are even considering they have nothing to show.

Still. I know I sound entitled and whatever, but it annoys me how they're practically refusing to advertise the only big game on the schedule thus far. Instead, Pokemon is getting all the love with Home, Mystery Dungeon, and Sword and Shield DLC. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the Pokemon fans, but throw the rest of us a bone already Nintendo!

Sorry, the patterns are not that misterious. It won't be dropped either at night or on a Weekend
But look at the eshop charts, it's already selling very well and it's 5 weeks away.
I want more info as well but I think they know better than us how to sell a game.
Urgh... So I have to wait until Tuesday before something could happen again? I guess I have no choice... so be it then.
Nah, I agree. It's strange how they've thrown AC preorders out there without revealing more information ahead of time. It's weird how a week after that we still have nothing. It's just plain weird, there's no way around it.
Yeah I think next week animal crossing and maybe early march we get a direct.
Which really is only a few weeks so it's not too bad
There's some sort of AC embargo lifting on the 20th, which is when the Direct would air.
Also they have not done a General Direct past the second week of a month in over 7 years.
Man, everyone gave up on the February Direct dream already, huh? I'd say a Direct next Thursday is more likely than not.
Nintendo describes the September trailer as a summary of what's been announced.
If there's loads of info on Animal Crossing, then the game is anemic as fuck
There's still a lot we don't know though.
Will there be a museum? shops? can we make designs?
There's still a lot of info they could put in a direct.
yeah as said above if this is loads i'm really worried about this game
I mean, it's possible, sure. But when was the last time they had a General Direct on the 20th of a month? They like to get them out in the first two weeks of any given month.
Would an AC direct need an embargo to be lifted? I mean it just means people who have a review game can talk about it now. But the date does seem suspicious, yeah.
Hm, that's an even stronger point...
Urgh at this point I just wish I could have something I can look forward to :/
Yeah going into this year we had a bunch of games from march onwards and people were expecting PS5 news this month.
But now a lot of games have been delayed and there's no news from any of the big 3 on anything.
I think when we look back it will be a great year but it is very slow right now.
yeah we've been told 2020 will be fine and that we should relax, but right now the year looks absolutely dire
edit: I mean, shit, there's a chance as implied above that Animal Crossing is completely barebones. with no Nintendo info, tons of delays, PS5 nowhere is sight, 2020 seems like an awful year for video games right now, though it'll likely be better by June

I don't know. I'd rather have some surprises to a game than being spoonfed every single piece of info beforehand (see Pokémon). Of course the game is gonna have stores and stuff, it'd be asinine to take that out. The way they're gonna implement I'd rather not know.
There's emotes in the game, they're unlockables, but I don't want to know how to unlock them etc.
I'd say there's enough info at the moment for day one buyers. And the embargo lifts on Feb 20 so there's probably loads of impressions after that.
I know it's a meme now, but I don't understand how "this will take attention away from *other thing*" talking point is still genuinely used by some people after Nintendo announced freaking BotW2 at the E3 right before LA's release.
Thinking positively Nintendo could be delaying the Direct as they have to line up with some mega third party announcements .. could be
The fact that the game is selling outrageous numbers in preorders based on assumptions has harrowing implications for players
They can reveal main things without showing literally everything. There are a lot of differences this time, so people want to know.
A reveal trailer, an incredibly shallow treehouse demo and a second trailer that basically rehashed the same info. "loads"
