Nintendo It has all its followers in embers. The Japanese company has started 2020 wrapped in silence and relying on broadcasts focused on specific games, with the sights now on the imminent Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Switch's calendar, from there, is full of uncertainty, although doubts may clear up very soon, and that is that March would close with a new Nintendo Direct packed with ads for this year.
According GamesBeat, or more specifically, according to one of the writers of that medium, Jeff Grubb, the Grand N would be finalizing the details and finishing selecting the titles that would be shown in this broadcast that is always usually loaded with new names and dates for the release schedule. Explain, also, that the Japanese would be preparing two programs for this month
Nintendo did an Indie Showcase last March around GDC, so that would make sense. And if that's how this goes, we shouldn't have to wait much longer after that for the Direct proper.
Sorry for all the hedging, but I think all the event cancellations have made things more fluid.

To concretize a little more, Grubb ends by profiling by pointing out that the company's current plans would be a Indies 'Direct' next week, from March 16 to 22; and finally un Old-fashioned Nintendo Direct in the week of March 26. With this duo, the Grand N would close the month plaguing it with announcements of titles that would reach Swith throughout the year. In add ition, it would end the theory of a Direct on March 12.
At the moment, it is a statement that lacks official confirmation, and Nintendo does not announce its Direct until very shortly before its broadcast, usually 1 or 2 days in advance. We will have to wait until we can confirm if this is the case and March finally becomes the month that has the first Nintendo Direct of 2020.
What ads do we expect from the first Nintendo Direct of 2020?
The Great N has to clear up many doubts with this presentation I made in March. The Nintendo Switch's first party catalog lacks dates fixed beyond Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so those in Kyoto should start picking up the calendar to indicate specific days and months.
Titles like Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition seem imminent, it is even possible that this Direct serves to set date
Many cards to play with in a Direct that aims to be full of ads and with many surprises involved. We will continue waiting to see if the Great N takes the step we all expect or not.
