The real place to camp of course is r/Silksong. Yeah yeah, Reddit, I know, but they really never learn.

The fact that people anticipate silksong instead of just doing anything else in the meantime never made any sense to me. Did you fucks never learn from HL3?

I expected to be disappointed by the last direct, instead I just lost my shit entirely, it was somehow worse than being disappointed.

I really want to play Mina on Switch 2 but I'm allergic to digital purchases and doubt there'll be a physical version on release - let alone a non game key one. So I'll just pirate and play on Rog Ally instead.

They should have combined this with the partner showcase. It would have been passable as a decent direct.

They've gotten to a point where they're compartmentalising way too much, everything would get equal visibility if they just did one big direct and differentiated between the segments, which I think is why they're doing it like this, it's how they used to do it, they don't want this partner or indie stuff distracting from their mainlines products, just seems insecure.
They know these announcements pull a lot of attention, they're fumbling their opportunity pretty bad by being petty, a couple more of these lack luster directs and people are going to start skipping them a lot meaning indies get even less attention.
I saw someone brow beating about how being negative about the poor indies sucks and sure, I agree, but it's nintendos fault for doing shit in a way that pisses people off, if this was even just a part of the partner direct it would have been better for both, but honestly I think they should just do one big direct with everything they have in it whenever often, the big titles bring the attention for the smaller stuff and a packed direct means more people are pleased by it.

The crux of the issue this time is that THESE ARE THE FIRST DIRECTS OF THE SWITCH 2 ERA, and the only non-spinoff first-party game for the Switch 2 we know of so far has already come and gone.

My guess is that we're likely getting one by late August or in September because it's around that point where most of the games revealed during the Switch 2 reveal Direct that got a release date will have been released. I suspect they're revealing their lineup in waves for given periods which they then focus on during said period. If I'm correct, I would not expect any more general Directs a year than four. One for each season.

The usual state of affairs is 3, one for February/winter, one for June/summer, and one for Spetember/fall. I’m certain the switch 2’s direct happening in April threw a wrench in things and the directs we’ve gotten are mainly to hold things over until the usual fall direct. The current state of affairs isn’t optimistic and nintendo should’ve done more, but it’s not exactly time to panic

Yeah exactly, they're clearly spacing things out to keep the Switch 2 hype train running without burning through all their ammo too early. The April Direct was probably them frontloading some of the bigger stuff, and now we're getting the filler arc until September. Still, you'd think they’d at least drop a first-party tease to keep the wolves at bay. They’re lucky people are still hung up on whatever scrap of Metroid Prime 4 news we got.
