[yogurt]

Incredible.

 

[zephiethewisp]

knew there'd be a downside

 

[Neoxon]

Hopefully that's not the case, especially since the Direct wouldn't be happening until next week.

 

[Zeal543]

Nintendo will use any excuse to delay directs lol

 

[NateDrake]

It's 2am in Japan. The decision makers are asleep.

I could see there being discussion at NoE but I doubt a decision has been made.

 

[DNAbro]

The monarchy ruins everything

 

[OnionPowder]

I was going to joke about this but I can't believe it could be real.

 

[OCL]

Lol yeah sure

 

[dose]

The one that they never even said was happening?

 

[Dest]

That sounds like a load of shit if I'm being honest.

 

[Lowblood]

I think the assumption is that they don't want to air it during the funeral and coronation ceremonies that'll follow it.

 

[Katbobo]

God Nintendo save the queen

 

[ChaosXVI]

They delayed it a week for a hurricane in the past, don't see why this isn't as big as that or bigger, especially for UK.

Previously Grubb have heard a Nintendo Direct could possibly happen happening in the week of the September 12th.

But with the news of teh day is possible Nintendo have changed plans.

 

[tiebreaker]

It's just an educated guess. There is always an excuse to say shit is delayed.

 

[Truno]

Which direct?

 

[Lotus]

Lol

That makes sense

Europe-exclusive Direct delay, let's GO.

"This Direct is blocked in your region."

 

[tophu]

Which direct?

the one that doesn't exist

 

[KtotheRoc]

We'll just have to wait and see.

 

[Biosnake]

Makes sense.

 

[Meg Cherry]

Seems reasonable. I don't think Nintendo (probably the most risk/bad PR adverse gaming company around) airing a hype event during the queen's funeral.

They'll probably just push it a week later.

Sorry. Seems a thread was already made. Mods please lock

Sounds like BS so "insiders" can save face when a Direct isn't announced.

If they did delay this direct, then I would say September is out of the picture. This is gonna get a lot of worldwide coverage

 

[Plinkerton]

Damn I bet she would have loved the Metroid Prime remake as well…

 

[Brannon]

Let's not be hasty here.

 

[Hasney]

Right. The publisher of Advance Wars, a game that won't release until world peace is accomplished, wouldn't delay a direct because the bloody queen is dead

[Melpomene]

In all seriousness, I could see this being something someone in the chain of information speculated as being a possibility that got twisted or mixed up into a confirmed fact. We really just have to wait and see what pans out.

 

[Curt Baboon]

Makes sense, with all the "Queen Elizabeth II for Smash" rumours.

 

[Deleted member 119070]

LMAO.

Can the TGS also be delayed? Or since it's an event focused on Japan then it will not matter? 🤔

This is the first thread I saw about it. Do we have another?

if this thread below is what you're referring to, I would say it's considered "different". This is "breaking news" for me.

A lot of things will be cancelled or delayed.

Also she wasn't just the Queen of England.

 

[Drachen]

So it's probably gonna take up everything next week.

 

[Cantaim]

Can you delay a direct that was never announced lol

 

[ap_2]

One last kick in the nuts from old Lizzy

 

[Order]

damn like i needed a reason to dislike her old ass even more

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

Lol fuck.

Makes sense though. Worldwide media is going to be saturated for the next week or so.

Can we get this in the OP to head off some of the stupidity that follows in threads like this?
