Release Date / Game Reveal Timing Speculation and Discussion

[poweradeex]

This will be my first time participating in the hype here, and I'm already looking forward to seeing the madness unfold in all its glory! ^ｪ^

I don't have a strong guess for the release month, but expect it to be after, or at least toward the end of, September
(which is a shame because I'd love to start when the grass is still green. Oh well)

Same here! So exciting we get to experience it together.

Nintendo is Tuesday. Other companies are showing off their games today and tomorrow.

Well, looks like we'll all be going into the Direct blind.

Small update on the Sabi saga: they're saying they received notices from lawyers representing Nintendo to cease posting anything and they will be complying. Link here.

To be honest, I kinda think this might be more of a convenient excuse and lie to cover up not receiving any information on the Direct. Presuming that they did not sign anything themselves, Nintendo can't stop them from sharing information.

But whatever the reason, looks like the leaks are off for Nintendo.

Honestly I'm relieved. I wasn't sure if I wanted to see his Nintendo leaks or just wait.

I don't think he ever had Nintendo leaks tho. He constantly said he had to wait to get them but he had leaks for 2 other companies at the ready. Didnt make much sense tbh.

With as tight-lipped as Nintendo has always been, I was actually not surprised that any potential leaks would come to light later than others. Would I have liked to know ahead of time if there will be any AC news? Of course. I'm impatient and weak-willed, lol. But I've also waited this long already; what's another day and a half?

 

[Neechan]

So we won’t see anything until Tuesday, then, that’s good...kinda sucks, but I get it.

 

[Kamzitty]

I was hoping for some leaks because I’m impatient af, but Tuesday is only 2 days away so I think I can wait it out :’) hoping for the best!!

 

[mintellect]

i'm glad we aren't getting leaks, it would ruin the anticipation for the big day, for me at least. we're so close, though!

maybe i'm being pessimistic but i'm expecting a release around christmas time.

Pfffttthahahaha how convenient for him. I don't think that I have ever heard of an insider receiving a C&D and then publicly announcing it. This guy had been unprofessional every step of the way and if his story is true, he deserved it. He shouldn't have been waving it around like he did, which in all likelihood got his source fired.

It doesn't rule out any leaks though. Retailers and even Nintendo themselves could still potentially make a mistake and post a listing early, but it's highly unlikely.

This was just the kind of amazing news that I needed to close out this wonderfully exciting day.

She*

just wanted to get that out there

 

[Chouchou]

Pretty sad we don't hear anything sooner about the game but it's only one day until the direct so at this point i'm waiting it out.

 

[Pellie]

Yeah, of course, it's only the Nintendo leaks that are affected, but nobody cares with all the other leaks
Sabi shared? Nobody from the other companies going after her, only Nintendo??? I'm sorry, but I don't
believe this, I mean, she even said that will share more leaks, just not Nintendo stuff. Really? Even after
receiving allegedly a C&D?? Do I have to understand that logic??

Was too good to be true. Also, maybe kinda a silly move from Sabi to say everything on Twitter, maybe
use next time 4Chan and also make sure to not announce your big leak thing at all publicly.

And so, the madness continues. Yay...

 

[Mokuren]

We are only one day away and then we will get 100% correct infos! You can never trust a leak 100% anyway so I think it's fine the way it is

 

[Burumun]

maybe i'm being pessimistic but i'm expecting a release around christmas time.

I'm really hoping we don't. Besides not wanting to wait that long, I don't want to be stuck in the snowy season first thing when the game comes out.

 

[acornavenue]

Tomorrow!!

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the correction. I honestly blacked out from her drama once she bragged about having Nintendo stuff out of fear of getting what could be Nintendo's single most important Direct for years.

From what I am hearing, she may have been obtaining her info illegally via hacking. If so, and Nintendo shares her info with the other companies that were involved in her shenanigans, then her life is pretty much going to be dragged through the dirt by lawyers.

All for fifteen minutes of internet fame.
