Well, on a positive note, I don't think anyone can be surprised that a Nindies Direct is coming. All of us would have predicted one to arrive at some point in Jan-Mar. It happens to be coming in January, when perhaps we'd have said February. So, it doesn't actually change anything in terms of what other announcements could come in other Directs.

I still believe we're looking at a title specific Direct before a big General Direct, so if we're now looking at February as a possible date, does that mean Pokemon comes back into the mix again, or are we expecting Animal Crossing?

General Direct feels like March now, for sure. (Not to say something else couldn't come before it, but yea, it feels like March...)

Hummm what? April is completely stacked

April has had some announcements at least, but it certainly isn't stacked for me. I love Final Fantasy as much as the next person, but the Vita genuinely scratched that itch a good few years ago. It's only really XII that has my interest, but I'm just not convinced I can play that one all the way through again...

I can live with beginning of February kinda? I dunno about business-wise but I feel like that's reasonable.

It better not be Steamworld Dig 3

I've seen enough of that. I want something new. Heist was a masterpiece and I wish they expand the universe in other directions.

edit: Good thing I have NSMBUDX, Tales of Vesperia and Travis Strikes again to play with until the Direct. Still got some life in Smash probably too. And I have to buy my kids their own Switch this year so that'll suck up some dough.

Don't Nintendo have their financial results / shareholder meeting at the end of Jan? They are going to have to explain where Mario Kart Tour + other mobile games are along with their plans for Switch titles this year.

So no general direct but then a load of info given out to share holders? Seems like a bizarre situation in all honesty

The dream for a general direct is dead for now, then.

In that case, it makes sense they announced Yoshi's release date, and we probably will get just indies for February. There won't be a shadow drop of a port.

Nah. Steamworld Dig 2 was a masterpiece. We need a sequel to it.

I wouldn't expect much of anything from there. At most we'll get an update on mobile stuff.

Yep, it makes no sense to me either. It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next 6-8 weeks and whether there's something where we all go "ahh OK so that's why they did it like that...", but I doubt it.

ehhh the mobile stuff is always seperate from Nintendo directs why even bring it up?
they just kinda announce mobile stuff on twitter and show a trailer and call it a day.

and i'm sure the investors report will still report that yes a pokemon game is still coming this year lol

If we don't get a Direct this January like last year then why should we expect to get a Direct this March like last March? If anything you should be expecting a Direct in February.

So he keeps quiet, says he doesn't kniw. You guys keep bitching and whining and asking him to drop news. He answers sarcastically that it was confirmed yesterday, showing he won't budge. And now he just blurts it out, just like that out of good will?

You guys are gullible as fuck, see you in an hour when the direct is announced.

Look ... sources can get something wrong too sometimes. See TGAs.

That happens, so how about we're not going to disregard king zells info by posting about the N64 mini stuff, ok?
