Nintendo direct *RUMORED* this week.

[acornavenue]

I dont know who runs nintendo direct life, it is verified, on twitter. But they said Reggie is retiring this week and they might be releasing a direct. That would be really nice if we get SOME form of news. What do you guys think?

 

[Stevey Queen]

I think were getting a direct sometime this month. I think they usually announce them on Tuesday and the direct date will be Wednesday. If we dont hear anything tmrw, then it probably wont happen this week

For a short moment, I thought they announced a Direct by reading the title of the thread.

Guess we can only wait at that point. I don't get my hopes that high, of course would be
nice if they say something...

All I hope for is some Animal Crossing news.

All I hope for is some Animal Crossing news.

Me too! I've been yearning for some Animal Crossing news for quite a while now and if Nintendo decides to unveil some, I'd be delighted. I'm hoping it's this week but knowing Nintendo, I hope it comes sometime this month at the very least.

They've left us in the dark for too long with AC-
I hope for at least a small look at the game's graphics and a new feature, similar how they showed ACNL for the first time.

Since the OP didn't provide it, here's the source of this rumor: https://gamingintel.com/nintendo/sources-next-direct-coming-april-11th-2019/

Gaming INTEL has been a bit of a mixed bag, but they have had a couple successes in the past so I will allow a thread for this rumor.

Wait was the one on April 15th, Reggie's day of retire not true?

We don't know, since these are all just rumours. Best to take it all with a grain of salt.

 

[Stella-Io]

Man, I heard that one such a long time ago thou, I thought that was Reggie's departing gift or somethin.

 

[Justin]

That was never anything but pure speculation. Not even a slightly credible rumour.

I really feel like some people need to be more careful about how they present these things -- there's worlds of difference between just wishful thinking, informed speculation, baseless rumours from randoms, rumours from credible sources, and actual announcements.

 

[DJStarstryker]

I saw this rumor mentioned a day or two ago myself.

Honestly, I think it would be a great time to announce something for AC. E3 is pretty inundated with gaming news. I imagine we'll probably hear about more Pokemon Sword/Shield then too. It'd be super great for building AC hype if they announce it during a quieter time.

I look forward to people's disappointment when nothing of animal crossing is mentioned or shown

except maybe a title logo

Pretty sure there will be even people who blame Reggie and start hating if nothing's gonna happen.

That is the problem with rumors: Too many people believe them and are more then disappointed if
those said rumors didn't become true at the end. I mean, I want also informations as anyone else
want, but if Nintendo wants to wait with dropping any news for some reasons, whatever they plan
to have a big presentation at E3 or something, then I guess we have to deal with it. After all, we
can only wait and see what happened, as much as the waiting sucks...

 

[Raayzx]

Hype..! I guess?

 

[Blue Cup]

Gaming Intel HAS had their moments in the sun before, but it has mostly all revolved around Call of Duty leaks. The site has some very dirty practices that have been exposed recently and should only be used for speculative discussion and only taken with a truck load of salt beyond that.

The fact that the likes of Marcus Sellers and a few other false prophets have latched onto this rumor just makes things messier, and now with Emily and King Zell both retired, we don't have anyone to really tell us whether to be excited or not.

That said, between 10am today (eastern) and tomorrow, we shall know if this rumor is true or not.

(My bets on it being a Smash Bros. Direct)

 

[Chouchou]

Nintendo please just show us something so we can all chill and wait.

 

[Paperboy012305]

Just to remember. If the Nintendo Direct does arrive, the only way we’d know if AC Switch will be in it is if it’s said to be a focused game in the tweet. Because I believe this is a big highlighted game of this year they gotta save it for something special, and I think this is it.

Yes I know, Smash Ultimate. Don’t even try it.

Not necessarily. They could give us a small trailer in a direct with just a glimpse of the game without going into details of the main gimmicks and gameplay. Pretty sure the first trailer(s) of new leaf didn't delve into the mayor aspect of the game.

I'm pretty sure we are getting a direct this month but idk if animal crossing will be shown at all.

I'd probably cry if there was a direct this month without even a screenshot or name for animal crossing.
