I’m not afraid to be optimistic: I say Nintendo throws us a curveball.

Same day release for E3.

They have been hush hush cause they want to blow our minds!

More realistically: not November or December cause that would compete with Pokemon. And June and July have other big releases.

August seems to have the biggest gap- with very few releases and no big big releases.

So I say august.

True that; August is when everyone starts to go back to school/uni. Nearly no time to play Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing isn't a game you can play all day, anyway. IMO it doesn't matter if they release it during school. Plus, the school year works differently everywhere, especially in Japan which is probably the market they center their schedules around (school starts in April, summer vacation is July and August), so August would actually be a great time there to give Japanese kids a lot of time to play it.

Yeah and with this look at it you can't release any game between september and May because of school. I'm done with uni and I work 32 hours a week so I have to make time to play the games I like. Animal crossing is the most fitting to play when you dont have many time, because you can check in in the morning or at night and do your routine anyway.

Oh and by the way. August and september would be the best time to play for people in school because the beginning of the school year isnt that hard anyway.
 
August is rather unrealistic considering the bare minimum Nintendo gives their biggest games is three months. September is the earliest we could see it, and March is the latest. That is assuming it doesn't get reannounced with a Spring 2020 release window, in which June of next year becomes the latest that it could come out.
 
Just to let you guys know: Thtat Sabi guy posted lots of E3 leaks on Twitter and it looks like he is about
to leak Nintendo stuff soon, so watch out.

For anyone who is interested in what he has to say.
Edit: everything he said about the new Xbox console was right. I guess he is pretty legit because when I read back, he has been leaking games that got announced in the Microsoft presentation that just launched.

He's saying that he doesn't know about Animal Crossing yet and he expects to give us information before tomorrow night.

Had to do it.

I'm Dutch and we just lost (another) big competition and when I saw this pic I just could not think about anything else haha.
 
Yeah, I definitely take back some of what I said previously. Clearly he does have some decent sources based on the Microsoft conference and isn't totally bull****ting, so legit Nintendo leaks could be on the table later. Wouldn't put too much faith in it though still given Nintendo tends to be a much tighter ship in terms of leaks.

They've also shared alleged Bethesda info, which has their show tonight, so we will see if those pan out or not.

Also, there's really no need to be concerned about Animal Crossing 'spoilers' going by how they are discussing these other games. It would just be confirming its reveal and maybe a release date, not like you're going to be seeing a full leaked trailer for the game.
 
Just remember that, if you choose to allow this guy to spoil the Direct for you that any surprises that Nintendo has in store will be severely dampened for you once the Direct airs, Animal Crossing or not.

I'm going in completely blind and really looking forward to everything that is going to be shown off.

I know you can’t see this, but I too, wanna see the Direct blind. As I like guesses in cases like this.

Nah man, we're good. I can act a bit childish sometimes and I take discussions a tad bit too seriously, especially stuff that I am passionate about. We're cool.

And for anyone interested, Nintendo tweeted another announcement regarding Tuesdays Direct and have now given us a estimated length: Around 40 minutes! And no mention of a deep dive, so that means no 25+ minutes on any one subject. This Direct is gonna be meaty as heck.
 
My biggest fear for this direct is my phone is going to lag during the stream especially around the animal crossing part and I'm going to miss it.

It always lags during livestreams.
 
Ah I see. I can also act a bit superior and more positive than anyone else.

I’d sincerely hope they announce AC Switch at E3 and make it the main focus. I mean it has a whole community full of AC fans itching for new AC news, and what better way than to make it the focus. They did it with Smash. And Animal Crossing and Smash both have one thing in common. A palooza of fans.
 
Looks like Sabi has completely nailed their Bethesda leaks so far too. So yeah, definitely a real possibility they'll have Nintendo information tomorrow!

I'm gonna be stalking Sabi's twitter feed for his Nintendo leaks, because I can't go into this blind. I CAN'T.
