Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT6| OT7 Has Been Rated in Korea

It's probably this week.
Only hitch is that Spawnwave seems fairly confident that it's not this week, and he has had info before iirc. But he's also been wrong plenty of times, so that's far from definitive
Nothing against Spawnwave, but he probally knows the same as we do... nothing...
We talked about this earlier. He wasn't saying no direct this week. He was responding to a comment that he always said "a direct will happen this week". So now he's just saying a direct won't happen this week
All we have is that Nate would be "surprised" if there's no Direct this week/month.
But that statement is at least a week (?) old and I don't know if he clarified more recently.
Edit for clarity: The part about "this week" might have been conjecture on our own part based on the first half of the month pattern.

If there is no Direct this week I will be so angry and furious that I will eat my Switch.
Didn't he say March?
Yeah I don't know about that. He didn't have to address that comment, and he didn't seem to be joking.
I'm not saying it means anything, but I do think he legitimately believes there's no Direct this week for whatever reason.
I thought he said by this week specifically, but I might misremember.

People under 50-55 without severe diseases can just rest at home.
Why are people thinking the announcement would be tomorrow when it would be announced on Wednesday for a Thursday airing? Lol
Wednesday is the anniversary of a devastating earthquake in Japan, the 4th highest magnitude earthquake in the modern history of the world. They could do it at their normal time, but Tuesday is more likely than it would be any other week.
Nope, the comment was that he always said "a direct will happen next week". So now by saying it's not happening this week he is still kind of saying it's happening next week (or the week after and so on) :D

Honestly that reasoning makes no sense to me. They're not airing an event on Wednesday, they're simply making an announcement on Wednesday. 11pm Wednesday night at that.
It's not like the entire country shuts down on that entire day.
Yeah I heard that playing the new campaigns in Pikmin 3 can be quite draining.
He has a terrible track record. Just so very bad. Pay him no mind when it comes to stuff like that.
Yea I doubt it. Plus smash came out the anniversary of pearl harbor
The sixth stage of Nintendo Direct grief is
6. RESET THE CLOCK
not even offended, my son is a rabbit
god I hope
eh you're probably right, but there's more reason to refresh on Tuesday this week than there has been on Tuesdays in the past
god what is your deal
Taking the bait. We know they are a troll. Just ignore them.
To me that date is the only thing to genuinely say 'it must be before it' about, because showing a healthy slate of titles for the new FY is absolutely something they will do, and there's not enough known titles yet.
I know, but at a certain point a troll is a troll. Trolls just get enjoyment out of nothing outside trolling.
Yeah, I guess so.
edit:
please Nintendo I'd take this even
Be careful of using inductive reasoning to make definite conclusions. "It must happen this way again because it has always done so before" isn't logically sound.
I do.
And I'm not anticipating any such announcement tomorrow. Only saying that today because I won't be online for any of tomorrow.
What's the point in holding a direct in April when it's literally like 8 weeks away from E3 time?
They'd either blow their load in the direct and not have much new to show at E3 other than a lot of repeats (especially since not much game development can actually progress in that short of span, so there wouldn't be much of an "update")
Or the April direct would be wildly underwhelming because they have two shows within 2 months of each other to split content in half across them

Yes, but they'd had the Switch reveal in January so I guess they felt that strategy appropriate at the time. Plus, that April Direct was pretty short on news because they'd already displayed most of their hand for the year and it happened before third-party support started to pick up.
They did, and in 2015, but neither one was a megaton direct because there was the 2015 January one and switch presentation. Having the first direct be april is a lot weirder.
