I doubt it's about Smash. While I know announcements of announcements are all the rage now, I don't think he'd hype up a Smash announcement especially since we know it's soon. And I don't think Damon Indie Baker would make it. Anything's possible though except the absurd notion of NX news. I think it's Minecraft.

I'd be happy with seeing who won the smash poll and some update news, new stages or features coming soon.
Keeping the hype low.

I'm keeping my expectations low:
We get to play as a metroid yeah
I guess i should have clarified "mainline series". As in the possibility of FFVII R coming to Nintendo.

Maybe we'll finally be able to crawl in this game.
Price cut isn't happening. It would've leaked long before now.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Minecraft U is a big announcement in the sense that it's a big title finally coming to Wii U. But it's also an old title already available on everything else finally ported to a platform floundering in the market and (in my opinion) unlikely to offer much in the ways of significant hardware movement. Market and audience appeal would be niche. Welcome, but niche.
So I dunno. I personally wouldn't consider that a "big announcement", but I'm sure for some it would be.

It's Smash. NX is not going to be revealed in 2015.
You mean 3rd gameplay trailer?
But what if it comes with special features like amiibo compatibility, Nintendo world built in... ?
Clever. In order to skirt around Konami's legal team they changed his name.

I'm going to guess it's something related to digital offerings.

Minecraft U would be big, why?
Because it'd be a historical first if MS do actually publish it at retail as the PEGI rating pointed to. It'd be their first published title on a non-MS system since the Xbox came out IIRC.
Even their GBA and DS games (that aren't DK) were published by THQ.

Presumably it's another tentpole to help them going forward with dedicated gaming devices.

Things I hope for
- Mother 3 announced for VC
- Animal Crossing announced for WiiU and NX launch
- Teaser for Smash Direct and date for it. Announcing 1 new character from the ballot.
- NX announcement/Official name announcement
What it'll probably be
- Info on the account system
- 4 minute long Legend of Zelda video. 2 minutes dedicated to talking about the game 2 minutes dedicated to gameplay.

With the announcement that it'll be on the WiiU and the NX as a launch title.
Mother 3 announced for VC
You've got to qualify though. It's based on something that a guy who mostly deals with indies said on a podcast. It's not going to be a megaton.
I love how you put Zelda in the realistic pile. Haha/

An idiot like me thinks that a "big announcement" would mean something like getting more info on a game we know next to nothing about that is supposedly slated for next year. I can't think of much else that would be considered big at the moment that isn't info involving the NX or their Account System.
I don't think it's dumb of you at all. I just think at this point we're unlikely to see a full Zelda trailer till the big NX unveiling as I suspect it's cross-platform now as you said. So, Nintendo Account and Minecraft U sound like the likeliest announcements, or perhaps the Smash Direct date.

Guys, at best it's smash, at worst it's nothing

something big ?
Metroid 5
Metroid 5
well it'd be its debut on a Nintendo console and while Minecraft on the Wii U might not be a big deal it could also mean that Minecraft would be there day 1 for NX.

I now have the image of the Virtual Boy using a stand of the Teleroboxer robot to sucker punch Ryu. I want this.

What is big for Nintendo at this stage? Bear in mind I don't think new features for games we've been playing for months is big news. The two biggest things for Nintendo are the account and NX. The account recently got a mention and NX won't be talked about properly until 2016. Excluding new features for games we've been playing for months, that leaves new game announcements as big news.
