Nintendo Direct delayed due to earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan

Earlier, a powerful earthquake of 6.6 magnitude struck in the island of Hokkaido, Japan. This has left at least 8 people dead, with hundreds of injuries and dozens missing. Due to the tragic earthquake, Nintendo have announced that the Nintendo Direct previously planned for later today has been delayed to some point in the near future.

Not sure about this. Seen the earthquake happened before Nintendo announced the direct in the first place. I believe Nintendo saw the backlash of people sick of indies and smash heavy announcements and decided to delay the direct. The earthquake was a nice excuse to back now for down

Edit nvm. Saw this was a second much more powerful then the one earlier reported this week.

Although, I’ve heard Japanese people are really good at protecting themselfs when an earthquake happens, except for 8 people, who passed away.

It's true but this was a 7 magnitude earthquake. It caused massive damage.

This earthquake was really bad, 7.0 on the Shindo scale. That's as high as the scale goes.

Adding to @zoogie, shit's bad. :(

[wikipedia] Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale

For anyone who's looking for a conversion from Shindo to Richter, this isn't possible.

Is there an organization setup for donations or anything yet?

I can't even fathom how terrible this must be for the people there.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
