Plot twist....

Nintendo is releasing these fake directs to prevent us from seeing the actual leaked direct plans too early by making us ignore everything we see...

I expect that this direct will be pretty good, especially when it comes to third party games. Maybe not quite as good as the Sept 2018 direct, but still pretty good.

Well hope they announce something exciting. I have so many preorders with working titles, be nice to get actual names and dates for them lol

Someone who is not lazy and wants to look up when last year nintendo direct were announced? Normally not a day or two before it takes place?

Thx, so the announcement should be soon :).

January Mini-Direct: Lots of rumours for over a week, on the day itself there were strong rumours about a mini Direct happening in the afternoon, which did indeed get uploaded by Nintendo later that day (without an actual anouncement; no live stream).

March Direct: Announced by Nintendo on the 7th for the next day, after a lot of rumours saying so.

September Direct: Announced by Nintendo on the day before the Direct (on the 5th, Direct would be on the 6th). However, the Direct didn't happen due to an eathquake in Japan. One week later (13th Sep) was announced that the Direct would go through the next day (14th Sep).

November Smash Direct: Announced by Nintendo on the 30th of October, two days before it happened.

So it varies, from a few days to one day, and no announcement at all for the Mini Direct.

I have too much time on my hands

Thanks if to much you could always read 杰米 ;)

Last year was the no-annoucement direct with the robot on fire if I'm not mistaken.
