Just found that Amazon.es listed ARMS for the 23rd of June.

Lock if old.

RUMOR: ARMS release date - June 23rd (Amazon.es)
- Thread starter mocolostrocolos
- Start date
Doesn't Amazon always set a placeholder for the last possible day the game could come out according to what has been said? That's the end of Spring. They set it for the last day of Spring because the date is "Spring"
I remember when Zelda Wii U was announced, they had it set for the last day of 2015 because the date was "2015"
So, basically: this means nothing.

Later than what I thought. Was expecting may.
Same. I hope it's just a placeholder. I want it in May.

I would definitely think they would try and get it out by May as the only game scheduled to be released in that month so far is Ultra Street Fighter II.
The Switch's momentum can be carried in June by E3 announcements and possibly Splatoon but they need something for May.

Zzzzz. Too long. I'll probably not use my switch until mk8 or this is reviews well.
Speaking of long, when's stardew valley dammit.

End of April till near the end of June with no new games would not be good for Switch momentum.

How are there no new games in between?
Anyways this is a Friday date so it makes it seem possible. I was expecting May though.
Also, they said Spring and spring ends June 20th. Nintendo is known to push it to the last days of a season though.
Technically the last day of Spring this year is the 21st, so Amazon didn't even get that right.

If ARMS does come out in May I'd be interested to see the sales figures for ARMS vs USF2, given they're the same genre (kinda).

No the release date is spring man.
Disgaea 5 Complete is out a couple of days before USF2.

Welp.
That date is a placeholder though. May 2 is a Tuesday.

I would think ARMS would do better. Paying full price for a port of SF II is a tough ask.
That would be too close to MK8 Deluxe. Give it 2 or 3 weeks of space between them.

I'm taking mummy guy all the way to the grand finals!
Amazon es also has splatoon as semptember 22, so I doubt those dates are correct.
Splatoon is the perfect summer game. Not releasing it before July would be a mistake IMO.

Does Nintendo even care about Directs anymore? We used to get them every two months. This month we would've got a Direct since the presentation was in January.
Yep. This Amazon placeholder means jack. Nintendo said spring. They just released a trailer saying spring again. May sounds like the month.
Ahh my bad lol. I completely forgot about it.
its coming before obon holiday in jp - july 13th
They had one specifically for Fire Emblem the week after the Switch unveiling.

Kind of a gap of true, but even if you exlude MK8Deluxe, this is where Disgaea 5 will keep me busy.
So one is at the last Friday of Spring and the other at the last Friday of Summer. Time to move on.
Obon is August IIRC, and yes, Splatoon 2 coming shortly before the Obon (like end of July) would fit perfectly: early sales, then Holiday push.
On ARMS: don't know about the date (again, I feel it's placeholder like other inaccurate dates from region-specific Amazon divisions), but June wouldn't be surprising. USFII is end of May, and I feel it's pushed by Nintendo and Capcom (simultaneous Friday release date, just like Nintendo games right now), so they'd need some breath room between the two.

That's all this is. There's nothing to see here. Amazon just put the last Friday after each season ends as a placeholder.

Nintendo Directs basically died with Iwata, sadly.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Am I mistaken, or didn't we see a Fire Emblem Direct recently, as well as an Indies Showcase for the Switch?
Disappointing if true. Nintendo should know that a sizeable portion of the current owners already have Mario Kart 8, and you don't want your first adopters to start complaining the console haz no gaems.
Ah fair enough, makes sense.

For some reason I forgot about the Fire Emblem direct.
Still, regular Directs, ones that we got every other month from 2011-2015, basically did die with Iwata. After his passing, Nintendo only really irregularly does one when they feel like it.

What games are there? Indies aren't going to keep up momentum, they are nice to have but they aren't going to keep new people buying consoles.

Mario kart is already in the Top 10 games sold this year by amazon (uk), think a lot of people will be double dipping.
Anyway, would wait for confirmation before everyone gets their analyst armchairs out
