If I get some Yo-Kai Watch 2, Dragon Quest VII, and SMTIV:A info I'll be happy. Not expecting much else. A Monster Hunter Stories announcement would be a nice surprise though!

That'd be ace. And more games than I can stomach in a year frankly.

A Nintendo Direct dedicated to the 3DS right at the beginning of September is a huge sign that we will be getting the NX direct VERY soon.

The Nintendo Direct splash screen fades away. We are instead shown an image of a door, simply marked "Men's". It opens, and the camera follows it through yellowed tiles. We hear grunting, and the camera follows. Underneath the bathroom stall, we see shoes. The door opens up. Inside, we see Kimishima sitting on his throne, holding a copy of the Yomiuri Shinbun. He folds down the top of his newspaper so that we can see his eyes, and he glares the camera through his glasses.

"We ain't announcing shit."

Quite a few people missing the next hyrule warriors legends dlc, which was due end of august. That's absolutely the most likely thing to be shown in the direct, I would have thought.

Any word at how long the Direct is yet? I know sometimes we find that information in advance through metadata or a message on the page, etc.

It stopped being relevant to me 2 weeks ago. :(

They haven't added the time anywhere this time around (yet). Expect it to be around 30~50 minutes.

In all seriousness, I don't think it's too out-of-the-question that we get NX reveal announcement at the end of the direct. Remember that at the end of the November 2015 Direct we got a teaser for the Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U Final Video Presentation, so there is precedent for this sort of thing.

Back then they didn't state beforehand that they will not reveal or discuss Smash. This time they did (about NX). I hope for the same thing as you do, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Tons of people here are already expecting it and will only end up disappointed.

Hoping for some 'Here's a game to download now!" sorta announcements. Everything else will be interesting, but difficult to escape the elephant in the NX sized room.

I think Pokemon Sun/Moon stuff is pretty much guaranteed. So is Ace Attorney 6 and Rhythm Heaven.

I imagine we'll get some more Virtual Console stuff.

Maybe something else Pokemon-related, seeing as it's still the series' 20th anniversary.

I don't think NX teasing at the end of the Direct is out of the question.

But they probably just say something like, "we appreciate your patient for the NX reveal. We are preparing for that." And just ends it with "Please understand."

They specifically mention in all their posts about this direct, to press and otherwise, that both NX and mobile won't be discussed in the presentation. Don't do this to yourself.

Eh, you're most likely right; but that corporate-speak could be spun any which way--for instance, it wouldn't really be discussing NX if they just gave us a date for the presentation.

I'm just saying, it's possible. I know some people like to curb their expectations before going into Directs, and if/when no NX news drops tomorrow, it'll be fine--it's coming soon
™
, anyway, and the 3DS deserves this last(?) chance in the limelight.

I don't see why they would be provide the disclaimer then. Most people hanging out for NX news are hanging out for the date of the presentation.

This thread's barely getting any movement compared to other direct threads. Seems like people are now angry at Nintendo everytime they do anything that's not announcing the NX.

Expectations are probably very low, given it's a 3DS-only Direct and people know not to expect much since we know most develop is now on NX.

Let them get angry lol. As long as they don't come in droves after the Direct and go on complain streak on why NX is not mentioned when it is HUGELY Written that there is no NX news.

I am still enjoying my 3DS goodness.^_^

Not being interested != being angry

People hype up Directs because they expect major new announcements. Almost no one expects Nintendo to announce a major new project for the 3DS at this point in time (there's also a lack of interest in new 3DS games because people are already anticipating its successor). It's that easy.

Regardless, there's no one to blame but Nintendo for the current frustration among its fans. Nintendo has been keeping their fans waiting on NX news for one and a half years now and even though I'm sure they have good reason to wait with NX's reveal, it's also hardly surprising that Nintendo fans are getting sick of waiting.
