I dont see why they cant focus at end of this month on holiday titles and early 2016. titles, because this will probably last big push for 3DS/WiiU before NX is revealed.


Going by precedent, Nintendo typically has a direct at the end of the year/after the holidays. Xenoblade, Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem fates were announced in these directs

December No presentations for December 2014

 

Every year we had ND in November between 06. and 27. November. In December we had one in 05. and one 18. December.



Around the Network

I expect we'll have a Direct in the next 10 days or so, as has been the pattern the last three years. That gives Nintendo time to talk about forthcoming releases and titles that have just released. For Europe, for example, Nintendo can talk about Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Mario Tennis U, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival and Xenoblade Chronicles X, as well as recently released titles like Mario Maker, Triforce Heroes etc.

On top of that, I expect we'll see indie reels, an eShop exclusive or two launching after the presentation, and some dates/release windows for early next year. Again, in Europe, there's Bravely Second, Yo Kai Watch, Fire Emblem: Fates and Star Fox Zero as potential Q1 releases. Add to that confirmation of Twilight Princess HD for February 2016, I think.

We should be due a Direct relatively soon, I think. Nintendo have been very quiet, but if they host a Direct by this time next week (I'm thinking Wednesday/Thursday) they'll have some valuable press/publicity space to themselves, with Halo, CoD and Fallout 4 (and their reviews) out of the way by then. It's not as if Nintendo have a particularly high profile title on any platform left to launch this year, and I say that as someone who can't wait to get Xenoblade Chronicles X.

No, Miyamoto just told Eurogamer in July that Pikmin 4 is very close to completion.

By at least one more Direct, it definitely looks like just 1 more for 2015

Really hope the Direct is in November, because the sooner the better :p

but I guess a December Direct would be okay

I'm tired of waiting, just like I'm tired of waiting for Zelda HD. I'll forget about both topics until they decide to acknowledge their existence.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

So if it's very close to completion what's it releasing on then? 3DS? 



Being one week before black Friday (27th of November, and now that I'm thinking it, the next week from BF week, is the week of XCX release) makes sense, for many obvious reasons, I won't expatiate by enumariting them, I have already put one, the others are implied ! :P
