Every second we?re getting closer to the Direct, I feel more scared that we aren?t going to see a preview a least. Nintendo has so many ways.

Yeah I feel you and i'm also scared about WHAT they are going to show, if you assume they will show anything at all.
When you look at the options, this is what my reaction would be:
x They show awesome AC Switch gameplay, new features and a september - november release window.. I would jump in the air with money in my hand, trowing it at Nintendo.
x They apologies for announcing AC Switch too soon in september, telling us it has delayed. But they show us a trailer with awesome gameplay and new features and a release window dec - may 2019... I would be sad but fine
x They show us nothing at all.. mental breakdown
x They show us Animal Crossing: let's go Isabelle! and Let's go Nook!.. A mainline game with lots and lots of pocket camp features.................... I would cry.
 
It would be way too cruel to announce a delay on AC Switch or to not give any information about it at all. I think they would have done so before E3 if this was the case. Why would they want to ruin their entire E3 again?? They must know that this game is expected of them by now.

Yeah I feel that way too. They know that everyone and their mother it waiting for Animal Crossing Switch. The fandom seems small but it's not. They know how anticipated it is. A lot more than Metroid Prime 4 I think (maybe I think that because I never ever played a Metroid Prime game please don't come after me Metroid fans).

But yeah, their whole presentation would be garbage it they have negative news about Animal Crossing.. that would be the highlight then. They better make it their big announcement for this year, otherwise I will have a mental breakdown.

Got bored and was looking for a while at Reddit, found there two things:

1) An AC fan pointed out that there are constellations on that pic Nintendo used for
their "reminder tweet" about the E3 Direct. They joked that this would be a hint for AC
and constellations being back in the new game. (Said pic in the spoiler)

Link to the tweet from Nintendo: https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1137856901495103488

2) Saw someone talking about a article where Shinya Takahashi (Nintendo) said that "no
games announced for 2019 will be delayed". Can we trust Takahashi here?

Here's the link to that article: https://nintendosoup.com/takahashi-...tch-games-scheduled-for-2019-wont-be-delayed/

Also, lots of people now talking about Sabi and how she got stopped before she said any
Nintendo leaks. Looks like people are actually happy that she got stopped at that point.

Best Buy has it too. I mean I will be pre-loading it ASAP but still want that unopened physical copy on my shelf. =P
 
And that Metroid Prime 4 delay vid was announced back in January, if I recall?

I'm afraid that that argument doesn't really stand, at least with Nintendo. A good example is Fire Emblem Three Houses. It was originally slated for a 2018 release, got its reveal during the E3 Direct after months of nothing, but was given a spring 2019 release window. That was its first delay. The second came during the January Direct where it was given a final date, for July, putting it out of spring.

Yoshis Crafted World is also a good example of this.

I'm really hoping for the best tomorrow, as we have a great little community here filled with wonderful people and I'd hate to see it torn asunder by any sort of negative news coming out of the event. That said, I am keeping my expectations in check because things just do be like that sometimes.

Yeah. The whole Prime 4 situation is entirely different though. From what I've gathered, it was being developed by different studios and none of them were living up to the standards Nintendo had for the game, so it was ultimately pulled away and the development rebooted under one roof at Retro. Animal Crossing is most definitely being developed internally at Nintendo so the chance of such catastrophic development cycle happening is unlikely, let alone it being handed off to an external team... that isn't MonolithSoft.
 
i'm not feeling too good about it releasing this year. i was optimistic a few days ago, even yesterday i thought it'd be this fall. i'm still hoping and praying for a release date this year, but i'm expecting to hear it being delayed
 
Nintendo officially stated that ONLY games coming out this year will be featured in the Direct. So if AC isn't the crowning jewel of their little spectacle, then...who knows when we'll see it.

Don't go by that. Their main focus is going to be on games releasing this year, but they always, ALWAYS include future titles.

Yeah, they always say that.... and then always end up showing future games anyway. I think it's just a tactic playing the expectations game, so people go in expecting less.
 
Case in point: last year's tweet from Nintendo...

And then in the first 10 minutes of the Direct...
