So is there going to be a Direct or not? People were saying it was going to be tomorrow but I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing.


Quite possibly.

To be fair, Nintendo has been uncharacteristically silent since Iwata died. Their last general Direct was in September FFS, and we've only had one game-specific Direct since then.

Oh right, that one too. No, I was referring to the Xenoblade 2 one.

Also, there's not likely to be a Direct tomorrow. They've been announcing Directs 2 or 3 days in advance for a while now.

There is usually a January direct and it's their biggest one of the year aside from the E3 ones.

I did, too. I was just searching through Nintendo's YouTube videos to double check when the last one was because it had been so long.

There was also usually a worldwide general Direct every other month. Then Iwata died.

Eh directs have been more spread out but that is kinda good. Rapid fire directs and a ton of single game directs end up feeling underwhelming.

3-4 or so big directs a year and a handful of single games directs is gonna make each one feel a lot more satisfying.

IIRC as far as big directs have gone...

2016

General direct in March
E3 event in June
General Direct in September
Switch reveal trailer October

2017

Switch presentation in January
Fire Emblem direct January (this was more of a mid size one.)
Headlines direct in April
E3 event in June
General Direct in September

Everything else was single game directs pretty much like the pocket camp and ARMS directs.

I'm just saying people are used to Nintendo being a lot more open and consistent with announcements than they have been the last two years.

I just want a confirmation (or denial) of the Link's Awakening remake rumors.

I would rather a Zelda 2 remake but I would certainly be on board for Links Awakening too.

Same here. LA is still very good, it's aged incredibly well. AoL is still a lot of fun, but could use a hefty amount of qol alterations. Overall, I'd prefer to see LoZ and AoL remade before anything else in the series, but if the rumors are true about LA then it will essentially be a new game inspired by the original, similar to how LBW was inspired by LttP. Either way, I'm looking forward to new 2D Zelda.

I think a Direct might come this month, but tomorrow seems very unlikely. It would've been announced at this point.

If it was tomorrow, it would have been announced by now. NoA typically announces them mid-late morning, and the other regions hours earlier.
