Nintendo direct *RUMORED* this week.

Not open for further replies.
A teaser will be so satisfying, letting the fans know that it will be at E3 2019 for sure.
 
I agree with what others have said. It would be great to see, but honestly don't be disappointed if there isn't a direct or if animal crossing isn't in it. It's a waiting game now, but we will see something at some point, and that is factual.
 
A whole direct just for ioker.

A Smash Direct with the focus on Joker and the 3.0 update along with a tease for the next character is absolutely in the realm of possibility, in fact it's more probable than another general Direct right now.
 
Playing New Leaf rn and came across this while reading this thread.

Thought it was relatable.

Beside the one direct I *thought* was true, don't even know why I did, I don't take any leaks to be true. Nintendo to me doesn't really seem like one of those leak things, like Cartoon Network. People would constantly get leaks and spoilers from there, and alot were true. But idk if it's cause I haven't followed Nintendo as much as I try to now, but 'Nintendo leaks' kinda sounds like an oxymoron to me :/

Just throwing some junk around since it stems from Era and they are VERY strict regarding people acting as insiders.

A member over there is now currently spreading info that there is indeed a Direct happening on the 11th, that Animal Crossing will be present and that he has seen/heard stuff regarding it. He only shared vague info with the typical deflections and whatnot that comes with with the territory. "Don't be mad if it's fake" etc. etc.

But the kicker here is, the thread is swarming with mods and other insiders, and while none are actually outright saying there is a Direct, they're not denying it either. But to add further fuel to the flame, the guy that had claimed that a 4/11 Direct was coming a week ago along with Animal Crossing info has yet to be banned. Why is this a noteworthy? Era apparently interrogates anyone claiming to have inside information, and if they can't pony up the info, that member typically is banned on the spot.

May mean nothing, may mean everything. I hate to be the one that spreads this sort of thing but this one particular event was pretty interesting to me, so I thought I'd share it.

The announcement or shadow drop would occur at 10am eastern time tomorrow morning if true.
 
Wait, so if there is a Direct happening tomorrow, like Nintendo will show it, why hasn't there been any news?

If Nintendo is SAYING on the 11th about an upcoming Direct then that's somethin different. Does Nintendo really do surprise Directs or no?


Oh wait no I read that wrong.

Well the thing is, Nintendo can and has done shadow drops of mini Directs before. They don't necessarily have to announce it beforehand. It's only the major ones that get a 24 hour notice.
 
I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out. If not, best bet is that we'll see it at E3. And if it does, it would be Yoshi's Crafted World all over again. But if we do get no AC Switch news this year, it would be kinda what happened to BOTW.

Yes I know, AC Switch wasn't announced at E3 2018, but still.
 
Pretty weird for Animal Crossing's first reveal after 6 months to get shoved into a Mini Direct tbh.

But yeah I've been on Era/Gaf for like eight years now and what you said Blue Cup is usually true, although I think they might be a little less tight on the whole 'instant ban interrogation' thing than they used to be.

Good part is we'll know very soon if this is all BS or not!

If this rumor ends up being a fake, and given all that has come out about them and their shady practices, I would hope that all this opens everyones eyes regarding rumors posted by Gaming Intel in the future.

I'm still surprised this one gained as much traction as it did, honestly. Not one credible person has commented on it.

EDIT:
Aaaand that's it. No announcement. No Direct. Now it'll be interesting to see how Gaming Intel tries to spin this.

We have 2 more hours before we can say for certain there's no Direct tomorrow, but things aren't looking promising.
 
I read it's on Thurs. 4/11. And it's supposed to be huge, not mini. Maybe some new SSBU updates or DLC content info. I hope it has Animal Crossing info! I'm gonna preorder everything. I really hope there's a special switch system for Animal Crossing 2019! Maybe like the 3DS, it'll be white with the different icons on it! I have the Isabelle NEW3DS and I love it, but I don't think I want Isabelle's face on my switch system. xD

Nintendo announces Directs between 9 and 10am eastern time depending on DST. They always announce it the day unless A) it a Direct Mini or B) It's a game-specific Direct.

The source of the rumor was Gaming Intel, whom are unreliable for anything but Call of Duty related leaks.

There is no major Direct this week.
 
Not surprised it turned out to be fake since Nintendo has done all their directs on Wednesday so far this year
 
A Smash Direct with the focus on Joker and the 3.0 update along with a tease for the next character is absolutely in the realm of possibility, in fact it's more probable than another general Direct right now.

We 100 percent need another Smash direct with all the other games coming out this year that we know nothing about.
 
So I guess this means we'll only know AC Switch news at E3. Case closed.
