50 minutes for the japanese one, beat that !

5 minutes of unlocalizable ecchi games?

 

[Kevinroc]

I, for one, am excited. Hopefully we get a Xenoblade 2 release date.

 

[tiebreaker]

Xenoblade 2 hype!!

A GC VC would also be nice.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Was this a rumor thread? Anyone have a link to the rumor?

I don't think there was a thread but it wasn't exactly a well kept secret

 

[Starphoenix]

Give me a release date on the Ballad of the Champions DLC pack!

 

[oti]

The fact that there's still more stuff to talk about Mario Odyssey makes me think this game is going to be massive in content. Can't wait.

 

[Shahadan]

Please have Xenoblade 2 release date, Please have Xenoblade 2 release date, Please have Xenoblade 2 release date...............

There's like, no other possiblity for them to announce a release date at this point. This is probably the one thing we can 100% expect

 

[Pinky]

Show me Super Mario Maker 2 for Switch. Do it!

 

[Fantastical]

Can't wait to see the Zelda DLC. Please don't be disappointing!

 

[Triforce141]

Yeah and I'd assume so anyway they'll be a lot of announcements likely and not everything will be localised.

Yeah, because HD Rumble handholding is too dangerous for people outside of Japan

Man I wonder how people will react when Xenoblade Chronicles 2 gets delayed to Early 2018 (March).

More time for Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild's second playthough for me

Spoiler

Also lolno to the delay

 

[AAMARMO]

Man I wonder how people will react when Xenoblade Chronicles 2 gets delayed to Early 2018 (March).

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

I'm not expecting new game announcements, just more details for stuff we already know about.

 

[Lights and Waves]

45 minutes? Wow.

I'm wondering if Apple is going to announce another Nintendo game tomorrow and then Nintendo will follow up with more info during the direct.

 

[Majine]

Wonder when we'll see Switch Mini, an Apple TV sized box with the handheld aspects taken out and available cheaper.

 

[Principate]

Your time has come Bayonetta

 

[jbug617]

Japanese Direct is 50 minutes long

 

[CPCunha]

Not gonna lie... as much as i loooove game news, i'm cool with what we know already (Odyssey, Xeno, Fire Emblem...)...

...what i'm really looking forward is an OS update with more functions...

Edit: Can someone post one of those nifty countdown clocks?

 

[Fireblend]

The fact that there's still more stuff to talk about Mario Odyssey makes me think this game is going to be massive in content. Can't wait.

Indeed, I would've thought the E3 trailer was the equivalent of BotW's Switch Presentation trailer and we wouldn't get more until its release.

 

[PadWarrior]

I know it's a long shot but I wonder if pokken will get dlc be mentioned.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

45 minutes? Damn, longer than the E3 presentation. Cool cool cool.

 

[marmoka]

I need strange journey redux, Metroid 3ds, Mario Odyssey, Prime 4, Smt HD Project and Bayonetta pack.

Getting ready for disappointment.

 

[Kyzer]

Looks like the leaks were real. I'd imagine that we'll get release dates for Xenoblade 2 , the 2nd Zelda DLC pack, & Skyrim in this (hopefully Rocket League, too).

Which leaks??

 

[kulapik]

Wonder when we'll see Switch Mini, an Apple TV sized box with the handheld aspects taken out and available much cheaper.

Probably never.

Metroid Prime trilogy HD.

It's time, guys!

 

[Dark Cloud]

Soraya Saga retweeted! Xenoblade release date here we come!

 

[CronoShot]

45 minutes? God damn.

I want to see Smash, Fire Emblem, and Prime 4 more than anything.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Soraya Saga retweeted the announcement, so it's obvs happening.

Oh lawd

 

[Deleted member 1235]

nidhogg 2 annouces switch release and I am happy.

especially since they'll announce advance wars with the older better art style as well. dreams come true.

I'll be happy with some mario hype and nothing else though.

 

[AAMARMO]

I'm not expecting new game announcements, just more details for stuff we already know about.

Does Ports count

 

[plagiarize]

Longer than E3, my god.

I have to assume they showcase Animal Crossing mobile and maybe announce a Switch version.

My wife is going to watch this whole thing and will be furious if they don't. Hah.

 

[Nicky Ali]

The rumour come out

 

[KingSnake]

I wonder if we get some new big 3rd party announcements in this Direct.

 

[Sterok]

It's like they deliberately make their E3 presentations short in order to make their Directs all the more impressive.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I'm not expecting new game announcements, just more details for stuff we already know about.

I don't think there has ever been a general Nintendo Direct that didn't have at least one new announcement.

Edit - I think I have one. The E3 2013 Direct. Because Nintendo announced everything early in a panic the previous January.

Edit 2 - Nope! Tropical Freeze was a new announcement.

 

[Zebei]

Well this is exciting.

Have way too much for just a wishlist, but i guess ill just stick with "more 3rd party ports the better"

especially if it's Square, Atlus, or DBfighterZ


Of course, im always ready to be dissapointed. A lot of focus on Arms, odyssey, and zelda wouldnt surprise me.

 

[ugoo18]

The Wonderful 102, Bayonetta 3 or The Platinum Collection. I'm calling one of those three now, might as well go all in lol.

EDIT: Might as well throw in the Dark Souls Trilogy in there.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Oh yeah!!!

 

[Niwa]

out of absolutely nowhere

 

[Pepboy]

I wonder if we will get Dragon Quest XI news... Its been out since July and they've yet to show switch port.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Predictions:
-Skyrim launch date
-Rocket League launch date
-LA Noire debut trailer
-Brief overview trailers of NBA and FIFA
-Xenoblade 2 launch date
-Small indie sizzle reel with concrete launch dates
-Mario Odyssey deep dive
-ARMS update NOW LIVE
-At least one Nintendo-published localization (Monster Hunter XX, Dragon Quest Heroes, Dynasty Warriors 8, etc)
-First footage of Taiko and Tales of Switch
-Blazblu trailer
-Next system update with more custom options, like themes.
-VC details
-3DS stuff

 

[AuthenticM]

I've never played Animal Crossing so I hope they announce a new one for the Switch.

 

[Majine]

Probably never.

I'll bookmark this post for later.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I'm not expecting new game announcements, just more details for stuff we already know about.

We always get a new game announcement in a general Direct

 

[VegiHam]

Okay, so I'm hyped.

But it looks like I missed leaks? Somebody wanna fill me in here?

 

[bobbychalkers]

This should be the fall big one.

 

[Enforced]

Damn. I will miss it on live. Im guessing they will release an update for ARMS after the direct.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Japanese Direct is 50 minutes long

Even if they have a Band Bros. S or a Rhythm Tengoku that's not in the American stream, I finally won't be jealous thanks to the magic of region free.

But I'm willing to bet that it's some Japan-centric app like a TV service or something, maybe Nico related.

 

[AAMARMO]

I've never played Animal Crossing so I hope they announce a new one for the Switch.

You mostly likely get something Animal Crossing on Tuesday than Wednesday.

 

[oti]

It's like they deliberately make their E3 presentations short in order to make their Directs all the more impressive.

E3 in its core is incredibly flawed. It's about getting attention by announcing games while everyone else does the same, hence taking away attention. Nintendo doesn't need E3. Neither do Sony or Microsoft.
