 So yesterday I thought that was gonna end up being the final video I make about any sort of Nintendo Direct happening this month, at least until later, maybe later next week because we talked about how Jeff Grubb sort of put out into the ether that, hey, maybe the director was delayed because of an Xbox showcase or an Xbox podcast that they did yesterday. And you know what, for the most part I was like, okay, that's plausible, but we do keep moving the goalposts around and I did talk to Jeff Grubb behind the scenes just to see how confident he was in what he was saying and he seems pretty damn confident. But you know, nothing's ever a for sure thing and it's not like Nintendo is gonna pseudo confirm things. But you guys might know about a known Nintendo insider, a known leaker as Pioro, the red bird over on Twitter who literally has a perfect track record with leaks is something like at least according to the gaming leaks in red and so forth, 13 out of 13, like he just doesn't get things wrong. And so he did an interesting thing last night or really yesterday and he went in here and if you go through his likes and yes, he has teased things through his likes before. Not every like is a tease like you see him liking this hilarious one with Nintendo trying to hang him in the background. So you know, not everything's a tease, maybe this level five like is a tease, but he did go ahead and like Jeff Grubb's post, you know, where he said, I know no one wants to hear this, but just like when the queen died, this is real. I heard earlier this week that they were discussing moving the direct because of the Xbox business update. I've never known the date for sure I've only ever heard of the middle of fat. Now again, that is something that Jeff Grubb is saying Nintendo. We don't really know if they ever really delayed that that direct with the queen it was supposed to rumored to happen on a Tuesday, then it ended up being on a Thursday after the queen died. So people think they pushed it back then in the UK. They just obviously never, you know, did the direct live. They just dropped a video. So yeah, look, this could be something. It could be nothing. It's really hard to know because it's not like it was ever fully verified by Nintendo like this is one of those things that when directs are delayed. Nintendo is not really going to verify that the direct was delayed, but it was sort of assumed by the fact that the Nintendo UK didn't live stream it that clearly they were taking into account that the queen had died at least and since she died really close to that Tuesday, you know, it would make sense not to do it then maybe wait a couple of days, let some people mourn anyways. So an interesting thing happened today from Peoro that seemed to me to be teasing a direct next week, but I'm very confused. And this is why we're going to get back to this. I want to remind everyone, these are all rumors, by the way, it's not like we can verify any of this. So when we dive into here, he put out this thing act to rebirth. And at first I was like, okay, so act to. All right, like been doing a play on Final Fantasy seven coming out. Rebirth coming out later this month. Act two of the Nintendo Direct rumors next week. And then the thing is he also put out this week. You're clearly seeing here that says next week, but it goes deeper. You click on that and you go rebirth of Nintendo Direct. And then he said, rebirth of partner showcase. Okay. He's like, it seems to seemingly literally just coming right out and saying it that, hey, this is literally going to be a partner showcase next week. Right. Next week, rebirth of partner showcase. Then should we be excited for this? And he said, I'm not excited. So yeah, he's like, oh, we're going to have a partner showcase next week. I'm not excited. Like Puro is literally like the most reliable leaker we have in the Nintendo community. But then you click on this profile and he quotes himself here and he says, this is not a hint. I just think the family and he's referring to family boards. Thread subtitle is cool. And for those who don't know, you go over to family boards. They have a Nintendo Direct thread and they have a subtitle that says act to rebirth. Okay. So he's just making a family boards reference. But what does that have to do with him saying next week? What does that have to do with him saying, you know, partner showcase, rebirth of a partner showcase, and then he's not that excited for it? Look, I don't really know, right? This is the thing about Puro is he's very cryptic. So either he's being direct, which he rarely is. And he's just saying, hey, we are getting this next week. Or he's just like, Hey, I'm just making fun of everybody. He has been having a fun time trolling lately. He trolled a bunch of people yesterday. He trolled new Marco Mauro as well, who pretended that he's still an insider when it's already been proven law before Puro came along, that he's not. But I don't know, man, I think Puro is very socially aware of himself. And while the original act to blah, blah, blah, like I think that original tweet didn't technically mean anything. I don't really think he meant anything by the act to rebirth. He literally, as he said, just thought it was a clever and funny title from family boards. I do have to say him saying next week, him saying rebirth of a partner showcase, him saying he's not that excited. I think to me that all is pretty big indicators because Puro, as much as he might like to troll fake stuff out there, he himself doesn't like to put fake stuff out there. So what might have started as LOLOL, I think that's just a really clever title. So I want to tweet it out there. The original tweet might not have been a leak, but these subsequent tweets that he'd said, you know, he's saying that the act to rebirth was not a hint. He didn't say that next week wasn't a hint. He didn't say that rebirth of the partner showcase wasn't a hint, right? So I do think that this is a very interesting thing to pay attention to because again, Puro is, at least from what we can tell, very socially aware, he knows his place and pretty much everything he's ever done like this has always been a tease. So if and when a partner showcase happens next week, I mean, everyone's going to say that Puro was right. So I'm just going to put it out into the ether. No one has to believe it. Remember, rumors are meant to be doubted. So that's why I presented both sides here, right? I showed you that here's why like you get doubted because he's saying his original tweet wasn't a hint, but that doesn't mean that his replies weren't a hint. And on the other hand, he liked Jeff Grubb's thing and he said all this stuff. And like it's look like he said rebirth of a partner showcase. He said next week, so take that for what it is, folks. Again, these are just rumors. They are not meant to be fully believed. If you want to know my thoughts on this, look, I you know, I like Jeff Grubb and I do think that he does have real sources, even though he's been wrong and some stuff in the past and I like Puro. It's hard not to like Puro, not just because he trolls fake insiders, but because, yeah, I do think that he knows what he's talking about. So I'm just going to say this. I think the original tweet was him just being like, ah, this is just a clever thing. And then he realized everyone was taking it as a hint. And he's like, all right, instead of me like pretending that this was a hint. Let me reply and give the real hint, right? Next week, rebirth of the partner showcase. I'm not that excited for it. So there you go. Whether or not he's going to tease anything from the partner showcase, we don't know. So my opinion is that while that original tweet wasn't meant to be a hint, he ended up turning the whole thread into a hint. And yes, Puro is correct and we are going to get a partner showcase next week. Remember, this is just my opinion. I don't actually know anything. Oh, I know some of you guys are sick of these dang, dang direct rumors. I understand. But as some of you reminded me, you also love them. So it is what it is. I guess the cycle begins anew this time from Puro, who has never been wrong. So take that for what you will. I actually want to know your thoughts on this down below. That's the one thing is I want to get a conversation going on this. There's a lot of you guys follow Puro and I just don't really how do I process this, you know, let me know if I processed it in the way that you think I should have later, guys.
