So we getting it next week or did the virus fuck everything up?

Yeah we're getting it next week. Hopefully we get the E3 one sooner rather than later due to cancellations.

OP here. ya, apparently it's got halfway legit sources saying next week.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I hope we get it and I hope it's trash that way we can fuel the next 500 threads

did school shut down

it didn't stop the indie why would it effect the general

I hope they space them out better. If we get one in March, one in June and then the last in September again, that's cramming everything in 6 months.

the shit is pre recorded. did you think it was actually live the whole time

Everything announced for indie world was digital.

They're probably not going to announce physical releases for awhile.

things have gotten even worse?

I predict they’ll actually show it next week since thevirus means everyone will have nothing better to do than to literally just watch the direct live

The only thing I could imagine that would make that possible would be Diamond and Pearl remakes but holy fuck if after the last two years Game Freak does another goddamned yearly game - especially without all of the Pokémon again - they might as well just take a shotgun to their faces because they're officially all too stupid to be alive anymore.

Wasn't there that rumor about Nindies with a Direct on the 26th? How correct was that one?
You just know they're gonna use the DP Pokedex instead of Platinums, meaning Magmortar isn't gonna be usable until post game unless you transfer.

>Wasn't there that rumor about Nindies with a Direct on the 26th? How correct was that one?
it's not the 26th yet, so I can't tell you.

This is why consoomers are retarded, jesus fuck

Im noticing some Twitter fags trying to talk as if we should be expecting Ports and Remakes normally

I’m not falling for your conniving subliminal messaging Emily and Jon
Nintendo WILL deserve backlash if this long drought ends on a Direct filled with nothing but Ports and Remasters

Uh, yes

Why delay it because of the virus? Most people are bored working from home or unemployed or in online classes. Sounds like a perfect time to release a live stream.

This would be hilarious
>Wonderful 101 date
>XBC DF News
>Super Mario 3D World
>Pikmin 3
Feel free to continue filling this out. Maybe make a bingo

Keep your eyes peeled.

If you see a single person say “Temper your expectations” tell them to go fuck themselves, I’m tired of these faggots trying to shut down backlash, it was already bad enough with pokefags and Byleth fags

>INSANE year to replay old games

Imagine actually saying this sentence in a serious manner and not feeling disappointed

Especially how leakers were initially saying that 2020 was going to be "huge" for the Switch inb4 smartasses bring up LE CORONA to claim this as technically true. But I almost do wanna see them pull out one hell of a bedshitter Direct, just to piss off investors and in turn light a fire under Nintendo's assholes. They've gotten too complacent again.

>Color Splash port
>Mario Kart Tour port
>some jap rpg that no one cares about
>please understandu that Smash DLC will take a while
>sizzle reel of indie shit and ports
>Luigi's Mansion 3 DLC
>shilling AC even though it just released
>spend 10 minutes straight of the direct on either Pokemon, Fire Emblem, or Xenoblade shit

I’ll never get tired of “leakers” bringing up Luigi’s Mansion DLC when it already releases

I hope there’s something kirby related

We know for a fact HAL is cooking something big for Kirby, but depending on what it is it might take a while.

If we do get Kirby, it might be filler like Super Kirby Clash

>Ports and Remasters

>Leakers are getting cocky again and pretending this is a fact

Imagine unironically getting excited for this, if your a leaker, don’t make it sound good you piece of shits.

Maybe it's the spitefag in me, but I really want at least half of this random bullshit to be true just to watch the seethe

you know what, that's a good point, but they could just have, ya know, *more* after september? like, one right before christmas?

I mean, would ports and remasters mean boring shit like Wii U ports or cool shit like an HD Prime Trilogy and Rare Replay

Being able to criticize Nintendo in non-Yas Forums circles has gotten goddamn near impossible ever since Game Freak were massively rewarded for being lying half-assers. Although I will say, the reaction to Lego Mario has shown just how desperate these faggots will get to lie through their fucking teeth to defend Nintendo at any cost.

just give me a 3 port i'll take what i can get with this fucking series

I could see a super blowout blast

Ideally, we'd get one each quarter, 3 months apart. If they're going to do 3 directs a year have one in Feb for everything through summer, one in June for through the holidays and then one in October for Winter/beginning of the next year, each 4 months apart.

...

I want it to happen because leakers said it would happen as if people aren’t supposed to be upset

They are in for a rude awakening, Animal Crossing came out, there’s fucking nothing right now with a solid release date

>nearly 3 years since Super Mario Odyssey came out
>never got proper DLC despite the game being obscenely successful, even though it's clear they had lots of ideas that could easily fill up a sequel (plus it's super obvious they planned on Delfino showing up at some point for SMO1)
>still no word whatsoever on any sort of followup
>the Odyssey style (and general collectathon style) will probably continue to be shelved for some time
>instead, just to rub salt-coated glass in the wound, we only get a Super Contrarian 3D World port this year
Knowing this is all super likely doesn't help me brace for how fucking hard it's going to hurt.

Nintendo has to show what is coming up for the next quarter or their investors won't be happy. It has to be soon.

Embrace the anger
Definitely show it when it’s what they end up doing
Don’t let the tranny leakers win

No doubt it’s coming

Right now it’s talking about how much of a disappointing shitfest it’s going to be when all these faggots keep prancing with “DURR PORTS AND REMAKES” as if it’s a good thing

People that predicted this week's indie direct also said there'd be a traditional direct next week.

All I want is a fucking release date for Xenoblade DE.

And if they don't have shit, it won't be easy to get away with invoking LE BEERBUG as a get out of jail card either, especially with how much later the investors meetings usually take place after the actual end of the fiscal quarter. It would likely raise the question of "then why have you continued to say nothing through the entirety of March that would indicate COVID19 as an issue for software?". if you don't see how this is an issue by itself: Nintendo immediately blamed the virus as the reason for AC Switches being in short supply. In mid February. If Nintendo has no Direct before March ends, or worse yet before the investors meeting, then they've just fucked themselves into a corner.

>Rare replay
Keep begging Microsoft, bitch.

18th of April

Virus is cancelling streamed events too.
Google cancelled their I/O, the idea is that bringing enough people together to produce the stream is too much of a hazard too.

At this point I'd at least be happy with 3D World.
Why the fuck did they port NSMBU first?

Trials of Mana is the last game with a release date, it releases next month, but it's not even a game of theirs, so they need to show something. Though I'm pretty sure the only game they will confirm for the time being is Xenoblade DE in may and maybe some minor thing in June.

Cause it's way easier. 3D World has a lot of gamepad bullshit with the touching and the blowing and whatnot.

3D World blows, alright!

I hope they're redesigning the UI, cause it was one of the few bad things about the original game. Not only it was a clusterfuck, but navigating the arts bar was an absolute pain in the ass.

>all this talk of 2020 being port heavy
By all means, Nintendo, please waste 2020 on more WiiU ports. I want to see what happens when you decide to have another "dry year" after you've finally nearly or fully burned through your warchest of emergency WiiU ports, and you have NOTHING left to fall back on that requires zero effort.

Attached: 1543187670372.gif (325x244, 1.88M)

yes, and it might actually be credible because who the fuck would ever predict another goddamn indie direct last week

I like ports because I skipped the shitty Wii U and I pirate all my switch games anyway.

it's apparently on eshop servers already so probably pretty fucking soon

They can port games from older consoles. Remember that the VC is not a thing.

Next week. It will be Nintendo EU president in a hazmat suit.

So, other than Xenoblade DE, what else are they gonna show?
