Nintendo direct *RUMORED* this week.

My question was how do they do E3. Do they tell you before E3 what games will be shown or is it a big suprise?

No I dont think they have announced what games will be at e3 prior to the event but we can assume animal crossing, pokemon, fire Emblem, and Mario maker 2 will be present in the direct and in the treehouse events after.

I'm surprised that there wasn't an announcement for a direct today. Not because of tax day, reggie, or the 18th anniversary but because were halfway through April and Joker for smash is suppose to be released this month and potentially the 3.0 update and we have seen diddly squat of any of that.

Nintendo will usually never tell you ahead of time. They might give us a title or two, but they don't usually. Most of the time we go off assumptions of known or expected titles.

There's a big Persona concert next as well, so I imagine they are waiting for that to drop the Joker/3.0 stuff.

After the meeting they typically hold during the final week of April, they will announce the time, date and what the main spotlight will be for their E3 Direct. It was April 26th last year that Nintendo announced that Smash Bros. would be the main focus of their E3 Direct. But that Direct was an anomaly in that they have never dedicated THAT much time to a single game in a Direct like that, so it's possible they don't announce any sort of spotlight.

The safest bet is just to try to remain calm and wait. With Nintendo, there is always going to be this random factor that, no matter how concrete their patterns seemed to be in the past, will always potentially present itself and throw things through a loop.

That was never anything but pure speculation. Not even a slightly credible rumour.

I really feel like some people need to be more careful about how they present these things -- there's worlds of difference between just wishful thinking, informed speculation, baseless rumours from randoms, rumours from credible sources, and actual announcements.

Okay can you close the thread

Nintendo released what was essentially a mini-Direct announcing Joker for Smash Bros today, so there's that. It was a 15 minute video, so I'd say it counts. At least that means the next Direct won't be focusing on him.

Which means... Erdrick will be the focus!

I wouldn't say it's for sure the final nail in the coffin, but it definitely doesn't help. It sent my Smash Direct theory right out the window that's for sure, but in its place is a Mario Maker 2 Direct given the updated site promising new info soon.

But this is exactly what I mean about not being able to 100% predict how Nintendo moves.

Closing this up as there's clearly no Nintendo Direct happening related to this rumour at this point.

You're welcome to continue to discuss and speculate generally in the sticky thread here: https://www.belltreeforums.com/show...Game-Reveal-Timing-Speculation-and-Discussion If a new rumour of an upcoming Direct from a credible source comes up, a new thread can be created then.
