No announcement yet, so it's not happening tomorrow. Now we wait to see if that Tax Day tweet for Monday has any significance. Especially considering Monday is the day after the 18th anniversary for Animal Crossing.

I agree
So no Direct this week, hm? Not surprised about this tbh...
Well, I can only imagine that they maybe make one next week, like saying goodbye to Reggie
on monday, where he or Nintendo themself gonna announce a surprise for the next day, which
is then the Direct announcement which comes out on wednesday or thursday.
Otherwise, it could also be that there will be no Direct at all before the E3, which however
would be unlikely, as there was always a Direct before E3..? (Please correct me if I'm wrong
here.)
Back to the waiting for now I guess...

I can’t believe rumors anymore nowadays. I would like to see more information on what the next AC game has in store, but there’s always E3, where I can see what’s in the game.

Smash is their current biggest evergreen title. It has a major update coming adding a brand new character that has yet to be officially detailed and a level creator that Nintendo themselves accidentally leaked via the new TV ad. All that on top of announcing the next character to follow Joker.
It will 100% receive more Directs in the future.
If they have the hecking audacity to do yet ANOTHER smash direct I'm gonna be so mad oh my god ENOUGH with smash E N O U G H please.
This is just so unfair like Smash got two Smash directs (the E3 direct was a Smash Direct and you cannot change my mind.) And us Animal Crossing fan only got a logo? Like the treatment Smash fans get is so cool and we're just standing here waiting for just like the title of the game at this point.
I now hate Smash (even though it's a great game I must admit) because of all the infos we got on it and how fast it got released.
Like just look at the directs, since Smash was announced it was mentionned if not being the spotlight of E V E R Y direct we got from now on. Even the last one with Piranha plant; okay it was less than 30 seconds, but it's still better than nothing. Nothing, what we have, us, Animal Crossing fans.
Wouldn't make it more sense to drop a regular Direct instead of a Smash only Direct? Smash still
can get the most attention in that Direct if needed and yet they can also give out more news of
other games, such as Animal Crossing for example. After all, I agree that another Smash only Direct
would be too much, even if Smash is right now a big thing, it doesn't need so many Directs at all...

I just feel like Smash got SOOOO much attention last year we dont need another solely SMASH direct. Sure show some smash updates in a normal direct but dont have it as the main focus AGAIN, it had most of last year

I'll only believe it when I see it on Nintendo's website.

Animal Crossing clearly was not in a stage of development where Nintendo felt comfortable talking about it. As I have said, they likely only announced it when they did to ease the blow of the Isabelle in Smash reveal. The game is obviously still not where they want it to be given the lack of info thus far, and there is a very real possibility that it isn't even coming this year and that we don't even see or hear anything else about it until September.
Like it or not, Smash Bros. Is their current bread and butter and has the most hype surrounding it, and that's not even taking into account the competitive esport side of things.
So I was today at one of my local GameStops and the employee said that there is no date so far
for Animal Crossing, however, there is supposed to be a Direct soon? He couldn't tell when, but he
said there would be one on the way. Now I'm not sure if this was just his speculation or if he knows
something and just couldn't tell because he's not allowed to say it, hm.
Anyone knows if GameStop is a serious source in such things?

I believe them because mine said that once before the last one was announced and then i went in after and we talked about Animal Crossing and they where supprised they didnt mention something
Have you seen the comments under Nintendo's tweets? They're all asking for Animal Crossing. They made us wait even more with New Leaf and I'm sure they know the horrendous backlash they'll get if they decide to delay Animal Crossing. How come Zelda already has a switch game and is getting a new one already? (It's not a mainline but still.) Let's not act like Animal Crossing's fanbase is as little as I don't know say Cooking Mama's one. We're big and Nintendo is treating us so poorly seriously.

No amount or our "backlash" is going to matter because it were all going to buy the game anyways. They'll show it when they show it and its definitely going to be at e3. Whether they show it before or not isn't promised to us.
Yeah they made a mistake by announcing it in September. Should have waited until the February direct at least to announce it.

The announcement was more than likely directed at their shareholders, who were rather annoyed by the fact that Nintendo had not announced the game earlier at E3 to the disappointment of many, and to tell people that yes, it is coming. They really couldn't wait any longer to announce something, especially with Isabelle being in Smash Bros.
