January? Sounds about right
It looks like all of the pieces are following into place for apotentialNintendo Direct. Potential. Don’t get mad if there isn’t one this month!
As YuYuKamii has pointed out on Twitter, GameStop is doing “it’s usual pre-direct new SKU listings.” Traditionally, this is when GameStop prepares for big Direct announcements ahead of time, so that fans can watch the Direct then go pre-order those SKUs. Several other existing Switch games are also listed for January slots, but the rest (presumably those Direct games) have placeholders of 12/31/19.
This isn’t enough on its own to really cause a stir, but Atlus joined in on the fun on Twitter this week, telling its followers to “please look forward to the follow-up toShin Megami Tensei V,” hinting that a tease or reveal was coming very soon. Wait, that sameShin Megami Tenseigame that’s coming to Switch?
The last real Nintendo Directwas back in September, withSmash-only and an Indie World scattered about the rest of 2019. Nintendo also aired a Direct on February 1 last year, so you can safely bet that another episode is coming in early 2020.
