A recent statement from Ubisoft regarding leaks of "Just Dance: Decades of Hits" has ignited speculation among fans that the company may have inadvertently revealed the date of the next Nintendo Direct. The possibility has gained traction due to Ubisoft's past collaborations with Nintendo for game reveals and the typical timing of Nintendo Direct presentations around major gaming events.
The "Just Dance" franchise, which traditionally had its annual installments revealed at E3, has in recent years utilized Nintendo Direct presentations for official announcements. This pattern has led players to scrutinize Ubisoft's recent communication. The specific date in question, September 10, falls shortly before the Tokyo Game Show, which traditionally sees Nintendo host a Direct to preview upcoming titles.
Ubisoft issued a statement addressing the leaks of "Just Dance: Decades of Hits," which have become a recurring issue for the series. The statement read: "While we understand this may generate excitement within the community, we believe every player deserves to discover Decades of Hits as it’s truly meant to be experienced: with the full context and care that have gone into its creation. We’re committed to sharing the complete picture with you on September 10, and we sincerely thank you for your patience and continued support in the meantime.”
Fans are interpreting this September 10 date as a potential reveal for the next Nintendo Direct. If accurate, it is anticipated that the presentation could feature anticipated titles such as the rumored Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and potentially The Duskbloods.
However, the connection remains speculative, with no concrete evidence beyond the coincidental timing and past patterns. The "Just Dance" community itself has expressed weariness with the ongoing leaks that tend to overshadow official announcements.
