Venturebeat: 'No Nintendo Direct planned for June due to work-from-home hurdles'
- Thread starter MrConbon210
- Start date
Surely they're going to have 1-2 big end of year games? Wasn't Paper Mario and a Mario 3D collection rumoured?
I wonder if we could get a Smash presentation recorded from Sakurai's home, that would be something.
Yeah here it is for reference:
Title should also reflect that this doesn't mean no announcements.
Maybe earlier on in this situation but I don't think a package of advertisements is more important than ever at the minute, and probably not by June either. Further peaks will occur but people are getting used to the new normal
If they have any summer and fall games. Virus may have pushed that all back.
At best I wouldn't put it passed Nintendo to do a mini-event based entirely on a sample of smaller first party projects (the Mario 35th Anniversary stuff, Smash updates, maybe a Bayonetta 3 teaser) and third party games that are in very close proximity to them (eg. Bravely Default 2, Ninjala updates, NMH3). Beyond that though? Think we're back to Twitter announcements.
Guess we'll find out more at their investor meeting.

That would lead to a lot people being disappointed when they're given time to speculate for something that ends up being not what they wanted.
yeah it's totally because of that and not because of the pandemic going around right now
A Direct isn't required at all to announce something.
They could just upload a trailer and do a press-release.
Most things are announced like that, you don't really need an event.
I don't see what's wrong with letting people know when to check for new news
Like, "hey, tune in to our Twitter page this Wednesday for an update on Smash DLC and a few new games"
It's pretty simple
This doesn't mean that there won't be any announcements, just that there won't be a traditional Direct anytime soon.
What's wrong with just finding out about the news without a heads up? People will talk about it and sites report on them anyway.
I still feel like Smash's reveal will be streamed along the lines of Byleth. We don't even know who the ARMS character is yet. If we did know, then yeah, I could see us getting a shadow-drop. But even Terry had his streamed.
They could announce them with their financial results as a means to reassure investors.
Oh well, disappointing, but in the current situation understandable.
Best thing that comes out of this is Nintendo's pipelines being Remote-Work friendly and up to date after the pandemic.
You know, right now AC does basically hold that building alone.

Nintendo has been announcing things on Twitter for the past few weeks. Mario Maker update, Luigi´s Mansion Update and other smaller stuff, maybe they can go that route instead of a traditional direct?
Too. "Where do you announce a game" seems to me the least important part of a game.
Lol
We need agent York from Dead Prem getting tossed from a window or something
Why do have a thread just for speculating about upcoming directs?
People like having a concrete announcement time to look forward to instead of news just popping up randomly
