It’s only been a couple of months since the last, amazing Nintendo Direct, and while this next one isn’t a general Direct, it’s still exciting.
Nintendo has announced an Indie World Showcase for tomorrow at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET… and a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase directly at it.
Both showcases will be presented back-to-back, for a total time of 40 minutes.
While often not as exciting as general Directs, both indie showcases and Partner Showcases often have a lot of fun announcements. So although I don’t expect it to be as exciting as the last Direct, we could still get some good surprises out of this.
For example, it was a Partner Showcase in February that included Pocket Card Jockey, among others.
Doing both showcases on the same day is unusual, and since Nintendo once again made it clear that they won’t be talking about the Switch’s successor here, I wonder if they’re getting Switch announcements out of the way by doing them together.
It’s a rare event where I’m not expecting Ace Attorney news, but dare I hope for a Professor Layton trailer? What are you hoping to see at tomorrow’s joint Indie World Showcase and Partner Showcase?
I could see Professor Layton news. Since this is all partner showcases and indie stuff, I don’t expect any real 1st party news. If they want the internet to go wild, maybe a new trailer for Ori so those fans can finally stop feeding off of scraps hahaha
No Professor Layton news, but we still got some exciting announcements!
Isn’t Ori already out? Or did you mean a third game?
