I wonder if Nintendo is considering pulling out of of pax now. They could announce the lineup 6 days out, but if it got to friday and nothing, it might happen. I wonder if they would also consider e3 if the virus is still a thing then.

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

After being a part of this madhouse since the days of intermittently lurking NX speculation threads, I've come to the conclusion that I wouldn't share any insider info if I had any.
Being an insider, you have every single word you say turned into a headline by what amounts to videogame tabloids, you have people who are itching to declare you a liar and drag you through the mud the moment you miss and then the actual companies you're leaking from will aggro and sick their lawyers on you after they've had enough.
Bringing excitement to the community and fostering discussion might be good enough reasons for others, but personally I wouldn't wanna live that life.

Didn't we get a random retailer leak for Xenoblade on May 29th? I thought something like that happened a month ago.
Golden Sun 🙏
However, I imagine there will be an April game, not counting Wonderful101. Could be a Wii U port like Mario3DWorld or Pikmin 3?

REPORT: Emily Rogers sneezes, possible hint for ChuChu Rocket revival?! Read out full report
That's the level this kind of shit goes. I wouldn't want to be part of that either, everything you say or do is taken as a hint at something by people trying to get internet fame or ad revenue. Then when they story they made up by twisting your words doesn't come to pass people blame you for it when you had nothing to do with it in the first place.
It's really sad.
I can't wait to see what Nintendo has at PAX. Wouldn't be surprised if it's almost completely dedicated to Animal Crossing though.
I am thinking it'll be devoted to the indie games that will be highlighted in next weeks Nindies direct.
Why not?
Not saying there will be, I'm just curious as to your reasoning.
That would be great too! Are there any strong rumors of a Nindies Direct next week?
There's rumors of two directs in February and if I was to bet on it, I'd say they would do a Nindies Direct for PAX like they've always done. I know people will say "but Zippo said a general direct," but that still doesn't make me think they won't highlight indies before PAX.
The AC direct is almost as long as some regular directs are. This could be Nintendo's winter/spring direct. Guess we'll find out by the end of next month
This is what happens sadly when only a hand full of people are reporting or leaking anything from their own sources. The problem with games writing is that everyone wants to do it, yet very few people actually want to report from their own sources, or attempt to gain sources. So they lurk threads like this for anything that they can shit out a paragraph on and hope it gets ad revenue so they can continue to pretend that they are journalists.
i feel like if reporters like jason schreier didnt exist, the Rest of the games pundants would be out of the job because no one is chasing down their own stories, they are waiting for bread crumbs from jason schreier and other leakers.

NintendoSoup is the very definition of a karma farm. Clickbait articles based on everything under the sun.
What did Emily actually say that they took "end on a strong note" from?
If NintendoPoop has even a shred of self respect, they'd do it.
She literally said that. Well, actually "end on a somewhat strong note".
I believe so. Let me check!
EDIT:
People just need to take a deep breath and relax. End of H1 2020 (May/June) ends on a somewhat strong note.
She after delete it from Twitter.
Even without considering the investigative journalism side the whole business behind most game blogs, youtube channels, etc is to quickly hit on all the news stories without anything indepth. That even extends to stuff like podcasts from the big sites which tend to be very fluffy.
It would be nice to get more reasoned, in depth takes of news items but the danger would be that your site would be behind all the other owns that constantly post updates.
last year we didn't know about Mario Maker 2 until they revealed it in a February direct. i think there will be another surprise like that soon in the next direct.
Nope, those were the highlights.
The Metroid speculation is still going strong.
Journalism, not only in gaming, has got worse year by year. Sources and investigations are completely gone, I guess that's the price for "free" content.
Leakers at least bring excitement, though I disagree with the sanctification: a leaker mostly seeks attention and, sometimes, is willing to damage brands/companies/people for that.

Could I get a rundown on this "cracking down on leaks" thing?

Even tho it didn't explode, SMM2 was announced early 2019 and released in June and is very much a strong note. Not unreasonable to see the same here - very curious to see what they've got lined up. It won't just be a port

Former Official Nintendo Magazine UK writer Chris Scullion tweeted his feelings regarding another Direct before March earlier:
Saying he has been wrong before is kind of an easy way to get out of it. I don't see anyway that they have a direct right when pax is going on day 1. It makes no sense at all. Those games wouldn't even be at pax, yet they would be marketing the upcoming games like AC and mystery dungeon? Plus all the media people there wouldn't even be watching or covering the direct.
Holy shit? Why hasn't this been talked about? Dude is pretty reliable right?
Off the top of my head:
Overwatch
Divinity Original Sin 2
Super Kirby Clash
Deadly Premonition 2
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore
Return of the Obra Dinn
Xenoblade Chronicles DE
Famicom Detective Club(JP)
