so here's why I'm skeptical of this

None of the decision makers in Japan would've been up awake the time this rumor started

why would this affect a Nintendo Direct anyway

wasn't it supposed to be September 14th too. that's almost a full week later

if it doesn't happen, there never was a Direct let's just admit it to ourselves

Rumor, but let's assume this is true -
This is ridiculous

It's a one person death. The queen of one nation. Delaying a global event for something that doesn't concern 90% of it's viewers is just plain ridiculous.
It's also not a "tragedy" - it wasn't a murder, a terror attack, a suprising accident. She was old and her body had health problems - the most natural way to go

Also, famous people die every single day and they never delay a direct because of it. Delaying it now makes it feel like some people are more important than others and it's disgusting imo
Seriously some celebs death hit me much more than Elizabeth and they never delayed a direct because of it

I feel like these rumors are being started by the "leakers" who were calling a direct.

If the direct doesn't happen like they said then they can blame the queen. If it does happen then they can say that Nintendo changed their minds, or that it had only been pushed back slightly. So they maintain their "credibility" either way...

she was technically actively the leader of a major nation, she was objectively more important than most people.
Im not saying they necessarily need to delay the Direct for her, but lets not pretend she doesnt transcend being just a famous person. Her death has broader consequence than the death of an actor or something.

For what it is worth, the Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter accounts went silent. They would normally Tweet about certain game events right now. So at least parts of Nintendo are taking the Queen's passing into account.

With that said, that doesn't mean there was a planned Direct next week. But, if there was it really might have gotten delayed.

Purely coincidence, musta been delayed anyways. No way on earth Nintendo delays and event for something that has absolutely nothing to do with them and does 't affect them in any way, shape or form.

Oh no

Does this mean TGS is cancelled too?????

To be honest I assume the rumor was just speculating Nintendo will air a direct before/during TGS

I assume the rumour was just fake news and this alleged "delay" is there to save face.

When it comes to Nintendo products, distrusting whatever "insiders" say has been more correct than not...!

given that TGS starts on the 15th it basically has to air before then, otherwise there would probably be things at the show that were supposed to be revealed in the direct

Well, Nintendo Direct for tomorrow.

So the original rumour was correct, and the subsequent delay messages were not.

This is so weird, people will just watch the US stream and its only an hour delay. Hey though, the rumours were technically correct!
