Monolith Soft just updated with a newer looking website. Speculation is a new game is about to get announced. Which then means we may have an early February direct rather than mid or late.

In the games section on Monolith's website there are all games they developed or co-developed. There are so many games they helped with where I didn't know they did.

Also interesting uo me is the Japanese box art of A Link to the Past. It features the number 2. Is the game called A Link to the Past 2 in Japan?

Edit: It's called Triforce of the Gods 2. Cool name and very different from what it's called elsewhere.

Tonight we'll continue to understand MK8DX dominance ...

Also, I'm eager to see updated numbers for some of these games. Though I'll be honest, I'm not glad that there's a strong possibility their Top 10 chart will be "polluted" with more than half of the spots occupied by Pokémon games in the future since Legend Arceus could replace another in the chart.

Pokémon Let's Go will drop out of the top 10 I think. It'll get overtaken by RFA, NSMBUDX, PLA, BotW2, BD/SP, likely SM3DW and possibly LM3.

At what time will Nintendo publish their data?

Usually after the Japanese stock market has closed for the day. That means during the morning hours of European time, so around 12 hours from now. I am not sure about the exact hour though.

Thanks. On Installbase someone said 4pm JST, 8am where I am.

More rumors about a Direct coming soon, and with Monolith Soft updating their website and Q3 reports about to drop I wouldn't be surprised if it's in the next few days.

I forgot about Monolith Soft possibly having a brand new game coming, and now I really wanna see it!! ^^

Yeah, I'm really curious if it will be Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Xenoblade Chronicles X-2, or the long rumored other game they've been making (some kind of medieval fantasy game, if I recall).

I've been surprisingly impressed and loved the last three games they made by themselves (and the games they've co-developed) so I'm just excited to see whatever they have planned.
