throw in some engine problems/changes and this isn't far off

Guess we're not seeing Pikmin 4 for another year or two then? Eh, par for the course at this point
Good sir who brought us the Xenoblade 3 news: How likely do you think it is to appear in a hypothetical Fall Direct?
edit: Xenoblade 3, I mean
If you want to live in the past and play beloved Nintendo classics, Wii U is no doubt a great system. But Switch has hundreds of great games both new and old that the Wii U lacks. Nevermind the hybrid form factor.
Pikmin also strikes me as a game that would run afoul of the Switch's CPU of they are at all attempting to "go bigger" with the next entry. I wonder if they are aiming at launching it with the next/pro Switch.
Edit
Just saw Imran's post. Kind of fits then I guess.
I doubt very much that of all the IPs it is going to be Pikmin the one that is delayed due to lack of power.
I guess its true what they say about the Nintendo Direct being held off until next week not to compete for attention against the Sony showcase
I think I've boiled it down to three scenarios:
1) It's happening next week on the 15th.
2) There's no additional general Direct this year.
3) There's a Direct Mini tomorrow
No it's not. Ridiculous idea.

If there was going to be a Nintendo Direct tomorrow, we wouldve gotten the announcement by now
Konami should re-release those Yugioh spin off games on all platforms
falsebound Kingdom
Dualist of the Roses &
Capsule Monsters
I liked those games. Even if they're were a bit mediocre overall

Not mini directs. Full directs yeah, they announce a day in advance. But mini directs they just drop with no advance notice.
Nintendo has held Directs in the same week before, so probably not
I dunno. I think Pikmin is atypical for Nintendo games in that it usually presents with a lot of units/characters on screen at the same time. If the next game is based from the Pikmin 3 engine, but maybe they had plans to have more Pikmin on screen at once, I could see that conflicting with the Switch hardware in a more difficult way than typical power/performance issues we've seen.
I saw Imran's post after the fact, but that seems to corroborate my thought process a bit, although it could be entirely different issues. It would certainly align with what we've heard about Xenoblade 3 as well. I'm not saying it was delayed all this time specifically to align with some new hardware, but rather due to the protracted nature of the development, delaying it a bit more to align with some new hardware became a viable solution for them.
Wednesday this week is no good for me so I asked nintendo I'll let them know when having a direct is a good time.

Don't want to distract from the Pikmin 4 discussion too much, but I was curious if Nikki ever elaborated on those teases in the form of hashes she made right before E3. Some of them panned out (Metroid V) and some did not (Master Chief). Were the ones that didn't work out bad info or some kind of misunderstanding?
no clue
I wouldn't necessarily assume a reveal is this year
It could be, but I have no insight into announcement timing
Oh no you dont think its just going to be simple mini direct do you, i would prefer a full blown one with multiple announcements
Agreed with this.
I'd rank them 1, 3, 2 in order of likelihood, personally.
I mean there's also the possibility the Direct could just be on Thursday and be announced tomorrow morning
I think there will be one last Direct this year, would find it pretty weird if it didn't and do think they need one.
That said, I'm personally not really fussed if it doesn't happen. Gimme a SMTV direct with Digital Devil Saga 1 + 2 remaster announcements for 2022 and I'm a happy camper.

I feel like there was a fair amount of smoke for tomorrow and last time there was smoke pointing towards a date and they didn't announce a Direct beforehand was in January 2018 where they just dropped a mini on that day.
I'd obviously prefer a full one too but I think a mini is possible.
There is a very real chance that Metroid Dread is the only game I buy for Switch for the rest of the year. MAYBE SMT V and Pokemon crack the list, but everything else is a skip or wait for discount for me. Halo and Forza will take up too much of my time in Q4
Alright, thank you. I will temper my excitement and be patient. Always magical seeing a new world from Monolith Soft. ❤
Well if they're doing that we also need a Jack Frost amiibo.
Some of these Team Ladybug games are such a waste with how they are disributed.
If it weren't for piracy and fan translators there'd be no easy to play the SMT and Konosuba game by them.
I wish they ported them to consoles in general.

Shinesparking is awesome. I just don't understand why SM keeps it a secret for the most part.
Urge to make one of those clickbait style threads about how the best song in gaming that'll come out this year is from a goddamn musical chairs minigame.
The number of "well actually" replies will have proven me wrong in my ways as I concede, the best song in gaming that'll come out this year is actually from a sushi shop.
To be fair it wouldn't be the worst if it didn't happen.
We have releases known til December plus Arceus.
The year is packed weather people are satisfied or not.
6 games coming plus Smash final fighter.
I believe she said they were just unverified rumors she heard about in Discord chats.

Since SNK and Namco both got in with arcade fighters we need a company with a character who can contrast Sega getting in with a JRPG.

I was just about to look up a link to that song before I opened the spoiler, well played
Hmmm, something's missing...
Labor Day in the US. That's what's missing (edit: unless I'm completely misreading this post). Ha.
The last two things I'm going to say on the Direct matter here until it (hopefully) gets revealed
1) Square Enix's TGS 2021 lineup seemingly includes Project Triangle Strategy. I say "seemingly" because it's on the official TGS website but Square Enix has yet to open their TGS portal. If that's the case, then 90% chances there's going to be a Nintendo Direct: Project Triangle Strategy is a Nintendo-published game here in the West, Nintendo and Square Enix work very closely promotion-wise in such cases
2) Hopefully we won't have to wait this long, but the Direct could happen as late as the week before the Tokyo Games Show 2021 starts. Last year's Nintendo Direct Mini Partner Showcase September 2020 was aired on September 17th, 2021; six days before the Tokyo Games Show 2021 started

Yes, I realize they were based off rumors they were hearing from a source. Was just curious if she elaborated on if the source said later it was bad info or there was a miscommunication.
