*1st-party 3DS developer. If Nintendo buys Atlus, they'll be a 1st-party subsidiary like Retro Studios or Monolith.

cheesemeister should do all the OT's!
not sure what i want from this one, aside from some 3rd party love like Phoenix 5, new Igavania (haha) etc

4 pixels by 4 pixels? I had no idea the resolution was that bad!
A lot of happy European fans I suppose.
3DS XL must be about 5x5 then? No wonder they've got the pixel smoothing in place. It would look horrendous if all 25 of those pixels looked stretched.

Realistic post:
It'll be:
"Fire Emblem is out this Friday! Oh and DLC will be coming soon!"
Animal Crossing information - "We'll SpotPass houses to you!"
Animal Crossing special edition 3DS
Focus on indie 3DS titles that are coming to eShop
Luigi's Mansion 2 - "It's been out a while, have you seen it yet?"
Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons for eShop (EU and US)
That's about it.
I hope I'm wrong because like a lot of you I want Miiverse 3DS but I don't think it'll happen.

they are releasing the new 3ds "L" that will replace the original one.
same screen size than original but similar shape than XL. it will feel almost like 3ds pocket

I wouldn't mind a new version of the standard size. Especially if they sort out the screen scratching issue.
So XL is the better system for Mario and Luigi I see.
It hasn't yet, but they usually wait until the morning of the Direct to announce it in Japan
Sorry if this has been posted already. The Animal Crossing Limited Edition 3DS XL bundle has been spotted on ShopTos website.

Seems like a fair bet to be announced. In US too, maybe?
I think it's too early for Bravely default (Could be a Holiday title...), but we might see Layton X Ace Attorney.
Sadly, this is the 1st N.direct I can't watch live
There is no such a thing as "too early for Bravely Default". Don't be silly.

Considering it has already released in Japan, i dont think it is early, would be just right to announce it now so we know when to expect it and whether we will get it in this life or at all anyway
nintendo better not blow their load too early, they need to save it for e3
Well we already know Smash Bros (3DS) will be at E3 with the Wii U one, so that's one megaton for E3 for the 3DS at least. ^^

Thats not how a nintendo direct works though. Except for the WiiU direct a few months ago, they only announce stuff that will be released within the next couple of months. Christmas is still way off.
So I wouldn't expect it yet...
(ofc thats all based on my believe that this will be their holiday title)

E3 isn't for that anymore. Directs are for announcements and megatons. E3 is for hands-on.

Mainly I think this direct is going over with games that don't have release date yet and announcing the release dates that are coming out before E3 and after E3. They are going to save some of megaton for E3.
They confirmed that they are going to show and announce several new stuffs at there that we might not see on Direct.
Such as SSB4 (3DS/WiiU), Mario Kart Wii U and Mario 3D. Hopefully Retro's secret project.

Actually, it's interesting that he said that you'd be able to get your hands on Mario Kart and Mario 3D at E3 first, but he didn't specify that that was when they were being unveiled.
This is exactly what I'm expecting. A Direct for updates, reminders and information, not megatons. I suppose dates for Oracles and some new eShop title announcements would be enough for me.

OH, you're right about that.

But he did with Smash Bros, moments before he said that in the video. Interesting.

I really hope RF4 finally gets a localisation. But realistically speaking, I don't think we will see anything new. We will be reminded of various titles that are just released and are coming up, without much new things. They might tease a few new Pokemon, though.

Rune Factory 4 was already announced for NA by Xseed, unless you're in EU?
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Yeah, Smash Bros will be reveal at E3 for sure. I'm definitely hyped for that.

It has mysteriously disappeared again. I pre-ordered it as soon as the EG story went up, received a confirmation mail, but now the listing is gone and no preorder showing on my account.
But Bravely Default is a 3rd party title? Yes, we're talking about it being announced in a Direct, but doesn't Square have the final say as to when they want to reveal it?
ArtHands
Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Not necessary. Nintendo has announced various 3rd party titles too, including Guild01, the last Professor Layton, project x zone etc.
Right. But I would assume that was decided in collaboration of Nintendo and the third party, not Nintendo going "we're announcing your game now".

Is the Direct in another hour or another 24 hours? Know it said on the 17th but it'll technically be the 17th in Australia :U
24 hours, 45 minutes from now
Well, yeah, that's what everyone's speculating. Of course Nintendo can't just reveal a game without the dev/publisher's consent.
Anyway, as I said, I don't really need any new game reveals. Give me a Mario & Luigi trailer, announce Layton x AA for EU/NA and I'm set.
"In accordance with Atlus's philosophy, we are now ceasing all trade in Europe as a result".

Still no Japanese conference?
Without that, I would not expect much coming from internal Nintendo. This will probably be the time to announce the AC bundle, start hyping that and DKCR 3D, mention the XL promotion is still going on, and maybe mention some localizations.
Edit: also Guild02 and the Oracle games going up.

I can't believe there won't be a WiiU direct in the coming weeks. More probably before the investor meeting...
