It's nothing worth getting excited for. Confirmed no first party games so it's probably just a partner direct, which means the Switch 2 announcement is just around the corner.
Partners Showcase on thursday
Pokemon Direct on last week of February
Switch 2 event on second week of March
[...]
Makes me wonder if Game Freak would not prefer to show the new games running on Switch 2 with the reveal being so close to Pokemon Day.
I guess with it being a cross gen game, there won't be much difference aside from resolution and framerate
You morons will look stupid when no Switch 2 is announced next month.
This actually makes sense and I think most people are ok with it.

Game Freak doesn't fricking care because they're literally always late with moving to new hardware >Ruby and Sapphire come out 20 months after the GBA did >Diamond and Pearl come out 2 years after the DS did >X and Y come out almost 3 years after the 3DS did >LGPE come out almost 2 years after the Switch did, Sword and Shield not until almost 3 years
I unironically wouldn't be surprised if Gen X was on Switch OG given their track record and how much they love rushing things out

>Pyoro confirmed it's a Partner Direct
no he didn't, he just said he wasn't aware of anything first party. doesn't mean it's not coming. he's just not aware
He did.
The question was "Are we getting a partner direct this week?"
and he didn't say no or that he didn't hear anything like last week, instead he said he didn't hear about any 1st party stuff.
He done similar shit in the past
it's going to be partner shit and it's going to be announced in 2 hours 31 minutes most likely
the Switch is fricking done
Switch 2 announcement is weeks away
10AM passed, it's not looking good lol. If the announcement is not done by 2PM, yeah
But then again, Partner Showcases has been shadowdropped before I believe?
IMO a regular direct might not be happening. I suppose there's updates to have for the ports and remake not released yet, and there's probably gonna be 1 or 2 more, but yeah
I expect Nintendo to have all their core teams on Switch 2 games at the moment. Have a March/Spring shadow drop like the first Switch, have a not E3 Direct about the Switch 2 and remaining Switch 1 stuff, then Fall release
A partner direct does indeed makes more sense. Maybe some Pokemon announcement during Pokemon day (but who cares about that)
I never understood the point of mini directs. They're usually almost as long as a regular one, and there's no point watching the actual direct on their YouTube because all the trailers from it get their own separate uploads anyway.
Even if you wanted to see the actual Direct as intended you'd spoil yourself on everything just by trying to find the video anyway.
Man I forgot how bad these nintendo direct """insiders""" are. Literal spam for weeks and months till they finally "hit" a date.
And worse is this shit got just as bad on xbox side too now. Even snoys are still waiting for their "secret showcase" that was supposed to drop a week after e3.

Historically they’ve had at least one new game release on old hardware while the new hardware is already released
Game Freak doesn't fricking care because they're literally always late with moving to new hardware

Pyoro confirmed it's a Partner Direct, so whatever. Enjoy Hi-Fi Rush I guess
Direct starts
>Konishiwa minasan, Eksuboksu no Firu tbh
link?
>Pyoro confirmed it's a Partner Direct

He done similar shit in the past
it's not a confirmation though. it's him saying he doesn't know. it's entirely possible he simply doesn't know about this direct and what's in it
Are you zoomers really this incapable of understanding implications?
>implying implications
call me a zoomer again homosexual
Pyroro didn't imply anything by that tweet, you're only inferring this based on lack of confirmation of the contrary,
it's going to be partner shit and it's going to be announced in 2 hours 31 minutes most likely
the Switch is fricking done
Switch 2 announcement is weeks away
>any minute now
>when there's like 2 and half hour left
anyon...
Fricking moron OP there's no 15th month
1 hour
happening
4 minutes till
1 more hour
ACK!
Next week for sure. R-right?
>not even the 15th outside AUS/NZ
>when it's rumored to be a Partner Showcase
all Direct Mini are shadowdropped in full without fail
What did you expect?
Even years are bad for Directs
>we're stuck with Bingslop until the Switch 2 releases in Fall

That Peach trailer is something that would been used in a regular direct, so either partner or nothing.

fools, every Nintendo Direct always takes place on a Wednesday
IT'S OVER
Yup partner showcase will shadowdrop tomorrow. At best there will be a teaser at the end of it for the switch 2 reveal direct next month
