Good point, I checked and for Japan it's 23:00.
The 20 minute runtime lowers my expectations a bit, but I'm glad they let us know beforehand. I was really hoping for 30 minutes based on the last AC Direct, or if we got really lucky, 40 minutes like a Smash Direct.

yeah, 20 minutes immediately made me think, "oh, it's just gonna be brewster," which isn't great. i was definitely expecting 30 or even 25. guess we'll see.

Yeah, 20 minutes seems a little… short. But, I guess it’s better than nothing. Hopefully there will be other new updates besides Brewster and what we already know with the seasonal/Halloween items.

Honestly I was surprised people were expecting a 40 minute stream. I know that other games get it but considering what we've gotten for ACNH even 20 minutes of showing off new content is a major game changer lol

20 minutes is huge, and there's no way Brewster could possibly have 20 minutes of content that they wouldn't just let us experience ourselves. Let's remember when they released Redd, he had less than 2 minutes in the trailer. Let's remember, this is an AC direct, not a Nintendo direct. This is 20 minutes of new AC content.

for the record, i'm aware 20 minutes is a decent chunk of time, i'm just not one to underestimate nintendo's ability to stretch it out. with enough talking, the cafe alone could easily take it all up. (showing off the interior, the different items you can buy, the mini-game if it's there, bit of backstory about the cafe in other games etc.) will it? no, probably not. i'm sure they'll slot in some seasonal items and a mention of the harvest festival as well as maybe even toy day since this drops in november. maybe another small feature like fence customisation or, hopefully, even gyroids.
for once, i desperately want to be proven wrong, but that's my prediction.

Good to keep expectations in check, but all Smash Directs were this long because Sakurai explains the new characters in every little detail. 20min sounds good to me.
We should expect this AC Direct to be the only event in long time where something substantial could be added to the game.. I expect a paid DLC, but hopefully the Roost will be free.

also shoutout to @Rosch (i think) for predicting that the direct would drop on brewster's birthday lmao. apollo really hit you with the gift of prophecy huh.

The direct on Feb 20th of 2020 was 27 minutes, and that was before the game even came out. 20 minutes for a direct after the game has come out is pretty good. While the Smash presentation yesterday was like 40 minutes, that was the final one and it revolved around the most wanted character from fans for ages and they used up that time to demonstrate all his moves.
ACNH is entirely different. Gameplay is pretty straightforward, so there's no reason for them to stretch out the direct. Between the Roost and what data mines have shown regarding Zelda characters (and potentially returning old ones), and probably even QOL updates, I'm positive we will get a thorough direct with chunks of new content.

Alright! Thank goodness! i thought it was going to be at the end of the month but nope its on October 15th, two days after my birthday. This is great!
I wouldn't put too much weight on the streaming time.
You can cover a lot of small stuff in 20min if you speed through it, but you can also faff around for 20min without anouncing much.
Worst case scenario they spend 20mins explaining Brewster and anouncing a few more seasonal items.

Yay, I'm excited! I thought honestly they were going to announce at the end of the month as I feel like that was a somewhat normal custom but mid month is really nice.
Wow. 20 min is a good chunk of time. I don't think Brewster will claim all of it. I can forsee some additional features returning, new items, and maybe more detail on series 5 cards. There may also be some increased amiibo functionality. Tbh, I think Brewster will probably only take up the first few minutes, with the most time going into series 5 detail, because Nintendo wants people to buy more cards so they can.make more money. Just Brewster alone won't make them more money.
Oh and btw, in case anyone missed it: 10/15 is Brewster's birthday.

I mean, I still think they’ll take 8-10 min on Brewster and the Roost.
