Maybe it’s just me but I think we’re getting a January direct this year>The september direct left nobody satisfied>November was apparently a bad month for switch 2 sales>Hype is dying without any big game announcements>nintendo has been shown to be open to doing directs in january with the mini back in 2018
>>729198071It’d definitely be the wisest thing to do
>>729198071I hope so
I suspect the new year will kick off with another Partner Direct and then March will see a regular Direct. I personally don't think any substantial huge Nintendo IPs are being worked on right now. Bananza and Mario Kart were the A team games, so year 2 is going to be the smaller things like Pikmin, Kirby, maybe something like another Paper Mario or Luigi's Mansion. Throw in an oddball like a new Pushmo or Dillon or something and there's next years lineup.
>>729198071It's dead, Jim.
>>729198071>Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct 1.12.2026
>>729200619Wouldn’t be a smart move on nintendo’s part
>>729198071>january direct>this yearits december
>>729198071I have a feeling they will do an early announcement like Zelda or Smash. I don't think the strategy of "announce it close to release" does them any favors. It worked in the Switch era because they kept the momentum from the first year but now they really need to show that there is something coming for this device.
>>729202140You know what I meant
>>729200619I wonder what Monolith Soft is up to. Apparently their side team helped with MK World, both the main and another side studios haven't done anything since 2023.
>>729202801How did that work out for Metroid Prime 4?
>>729198071You’re basically trying to destroy Nintendo with chaos magick. You think that if enough people delude themselves into thinking Nintendo is failing and collapsing eventually they will fail and collapse. But you didn’t account for one important thing you little fucking nigger: objective reality exists outside of your perception. The switch 2 is the fastest selling game console of all time and there isn’t a single fucking thing ANY of you can do about it.
>>729198071Why? It’ll probably just happen in February like usual.
>>729205075>he doesn't knowTHE LEGEND OF ZELDA RPG: SEEDS OF COURAGE AND MALICE
>>729206807I’m not saying it’s not doing well, I just now november was a bit of an off month for the switch 2 in terms of sales which and that combined with many people wanting more games announced, feeling dissatisfied with the last direct, nintendo is going to need to pick up the momentum with something soon to keep the success going.
>>729207558Elaborate, I have no idea what I'm looking at or reading
>>729207793It's recruiting for a new Zelda project. Not sure what the other guy is alluding to.
>>729198071They kind of have toWhat currently announced games are left?Mario Tennis and a Yoshi game?
>>729198071Who fucking cares. It's just going to be more $79.99 slop from a bunch of Corpo fucks who think they are the video game equivalent of Apple. All this shit will end up as roms the week after release.
New F-Zero game. Habeeb it.
>there's still nothing announced that makes me want to upgradeI wish they would hurry up and give me a reason before the chip economy makes it impossible to get one later.
>>729198071All I can remember from January that they’ve only ever done is just Fire Emblem slop. This guy proved it.
Watch them shadow drop something on this shitty app they tried to get you to download
>>729206807>you little fucking niggerNTA but relax it’s not that serious
>>729200619>roughly a decade between Pikmin 2/3 and 3/4>Pikmin 5 willl release 3 years after 4https://youtu.be/7w27bpYKWHM
>>729198071They should cut everyones pay by half for how badly switch 2 is doing.
