Nintendo in September 2017 had Pokken Tournament DX, Yokai Watch 2 and Metroid: Return of Samus in the same month and still had a Nintendo Direct. And that was still when they wanted 3DS software to sell quite a bit. That matches the number of major first party published titles for September 2019 they want to promote.
I'm not saying a Nintendo Direct has to come in September, but I am saying the number of titles coming out of this month has no impact on whether or not a Direct will appear.

09 was filled in after launch (with Stage Builder), leaving 10; but since VR was added as 13, that doesn't mean we only have one Games & More mode left.
What's being published in Q4, excluding Pokemon? Luigi's Mansion 3 and NuWakening? What's the Direct centerpiece? If there's none, I think they would wait 'till October or later.
So how do you think they'd actually reveal him/her, then? Do what they did with Robin back in Smash 4 and livestream the reveal?
We still don't have a release date for The Witcher 3 Switch beyond 2019.
Yeah, if the general Direct is in September then I think there will be a dedicated stream (whether it's Robin style or a mini Direct) in October or November covering the fourth fighter.

Pretty sure both last year and the year before had Nindie presentations in the end of August and main Directs a few weeks after in September
Yeah, they did (I mentioned it the other day):
2017: Nindies Showcase (August 30) - Nintendo Direct (September 13)
2018: Nindies Showcase (August 28) - Nintendo Direct (September 13; originally scheduled for September 6)
2019: Indie World (August 19) - Nintendo Direct (September 5?)
Because all the marketing and hype for new games will distract from the games coming out in 2-3 weeks. From Nintendo's perspective, I can't imagine the downside of waiting until later.
Daemon X Machina comes out on September 13th this year.
(Has Nintendo ever had a General Direct on the exact same day as a game's release like that?)
I don't think so. Sans is really from Undertale.
Are you confused about Zero? I think he's SSB4 ex-champion turned streamer or something.
2017's September Direct was the day before Samus Returns launched.
But since they seem to come two weeks after the indie presentation, we would probably be looking at September 5th; a nice little pocket between Astral Chain and Daemon.
I kinda feel a bit bad for Daemon X Machina. It isn't getting the spotlight like Astral Chain or some of the other September releases (like Link's Awakening and Dragon Quest).
Probably becuase Nintendo isn't publishing Daemon in Japan. It only makes sense for them to focus more on Astral Chain, which they are publishing everywhere (and Dragon Quest obviously needed that Smash synergy, which is why it got a lot more attention).
Nintendo owns Astral Chain. That's their IP.
And Nintendo isn't publishing Dragon Quest XI S in Japan either.
I know that; that's why they are pushing it way more than Daemon.
I adressed that in an edit to my above post. Daemon can't have that Smash synergy (and I wouldn''t be surprised if Square wanted them to really push it or something; we saw it in both general directs this year, and if the fall direct is in September, we'll probably see it again).
Though, Daemon has been in every general Direct since it's reveal (E3 2018, September 2018, February 2019, E3 2019) so it isn't like they aren't trying...
What? You think Square Enix really wanted Masahiro Sakurai & Nintendo to push Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition, launching on September 27th exclusively on Nintendo Switch?
That's some crazy talk right there. 😉
Random observation: at some point in the past week or so, a promotional link to the DQXIS site was added to Hero's page on the Japanese Ultimate site. He's the only character with one of these.
Huh. Weird. Smash 4's website did that a lot, but I didn't even notice that they didn't do it for Ultimate.
imagine if evrey character had a link
captian falcon to used gx copies on amazon
Lucas to Rom sites
rob to Mario kart ds

I remember the English trailer took a while to be put up on YouTube.
A couple other channels have it with 2 million plus views.
Yeah; for some reason the English trailer was on private for awhile.
So you're saying that Square Enix AND Nintendo wanted Masahiro Sakurai to push Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition, launching on September 27th exclusively on Nintendo Switch?
That's some crazy talk right there. 😉
What's this Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition, launching on September 27th exclusively on Nintendo Switch you guys are talking about? Is this something I can pre-order on eShop or at a local game retailer?
Since DQ11 is a Nintendo published title (at least in the west), does that mean there's a low chance it will go on sale soon after release? Since that often happens with Square games on the Switch.
Just wondering if I should day 1 it with my voucher or not.

To be fair, Smash Wii U/3DS didn't have much from the Wii U era.
I bet if it were up to SE, Xander Mobus would be shouting that title and release date out every time you chose the Luminary.
It didn't, but the 3DS characters that were added weren't that old relative to its release. But either way I was just thinking it was amusing that Hero has a promotion link because he's the only DLC with something to promote-- P5R isn't on Nintendo and Banjo is just.... kind of floating around in the ether I guess lol
I wonder what that new Smash mode could be (or was; if it was cut during development). It's definitely a lot harder to predict than new Games & More and Online additions, since there isn't really any precedence or hints to look at. Keeping in mind that it would probably be a Special Smash mode (alongside Custom Smash, Super Sudden Death and Smashdown), what ideas do we have?
Nintendo would probably link Lucas to a Japan Immigration Tutorial or something.
Unlike digitally unified Corrin, Pokemon links would need randomization. At least they could stick to Sw... oh snap.
With Richter, Nintendo could link to a PS4 compilation, or to PC Engine auctions... but they could look for those Wiis with Rondo on eBay, but one's supposed to give up Wii Shop stuff when selling a Wii, so that's kinda interesting, until one remembers Dracula X.
This doesn't quite reach Lucas/ROB levels, but I'm going to finish with quite a kerfuffle. Does Shulk link to XC2 DLC?
