There was quite a big one in January 2017.

There was a nindie one in January 2019.

 

There were no Nintendo Directs in Jan 2017 or 2019. There was a "Indie Highlights" presentation in 2019 which wasn't a Direct and was a Euro repeat of the JP one from the previous month, and the presentation in 2017 was the Switch announcement and also not a Direct.

It’s happening though. Can’t you just feel it?

They’re all under the Nintendo Direct Wikipedia page so are unequivocally directs. Wikipedia never lies.

 

January 2020 Nintendo Direct is coming. We can feel it.

 

 

[joffocakes]

Yep I expect a Direct soon, in January as normal.

[cohen205]

I'd directly feeling it.

I thought that I'd prefer buying physical releases, and did so at the beginning. However I'm now used to the convenience of downloaded games, and it's just irritating to know that some games can't be launched immediately without getting up and finding the cartridge.

If there is ever a chance of you owning two switches, then buy physical games. You can only play one digital game at a time (on the same switch account). So you couldnt play game A on switch A, whilst your girlfriend/child played game B on switch B.

 

Its bullshit and makes me wish I had never bought any digital games, apart from the ones that are digital only.

 

Hang on, isn't that wrong though - you can set one Switch as primary, another as secondary and share your game library between them? I'm sure people are doing that aren't they?

 

You just can't both be playing the same game online at the same time or something.

This arrived for use in the Switch

 

 

I think I will stick to physical releases for unique titles and things I will play once and sell on. For "double dip" games, where I own them on other platforms, I will probably just go digital on the Switch. More convenient that way. There's little point me ponying up 60 euro on play-asia to be further hit with a customs charge, taking the total up to 100 euro when I could spend about 30 quid on the Jap store.

I was thinking why this hadn't really been an issue before, and it's because now I have a proper Nintendo system. I have a 2DS somewhere and a GBMicro, but really it's all about the Playstation or XBOX for me, whichever cycle I am in. I have a PS4 so that's my "cycle", but now I have this little beauty from Nintendo which has some unique games, some of the same games... but can be played on the go. It's also caused me to dig out my Vita and dust off the little beast.

 

All good really, I just need to spend more time playing games, not worrying about which is best, which platform, watching reviews, bla bla.

 

Can't wait for Nintendo Direct this month.

I’m already in the Happening Bunker, stiff as a board.

[Kryptonian]

I think I can feel something.

[Strafe]

I feel what you’re feeling.

[Andy_Why]

Guys, can someone explain to me what a Direct actually is?

 

The only thing I know for sure is that it's happening this month.

It's like a pint, only better.

[Fry Crayola]

Allegedly.

[Not Thread Owner]

Looks like it's not a proper Direct:

 

 

[Not Thread Owner]

Gonna be DLC innit.

[ZOK]

I’ve not been in this thread for a while! 
 

Do we expect a Direct in January?

Told you.

[Sloth]

Hopefully we'll get some info on the new Pokemon pinball game.

[Rex Grossman]

This month's Direct looks boring.

[Revival]

Should be available April 7th

 

 

[Calashnikov]

Gutted.

[Xevious]

Can't wait to hear more about that in this month's Direct.

It’s not something that can be explained, you just have to feel it.

Blimey, Doom is surprisingly excellent on this mind isn't it? I'm stunned at how well they've ported it. Now I can play Doom on the toilet for hours during bouts of intermittent diarrhoea. 

[Strafe]

If anyone else wants answers on what Nintendo related things will or won’t happen this month, please ask and I will tell you if I feel it or not.

[Stoppy2000]

Direct confirmed for this Thursday. 20 mins of Pokémon news.
