Dude im just being logical here
Why do they specify through they summer then say no NX news
Once NX launches WiiU will get its remaining software for 2016 and then move on to being second tier after that
Likely getting cross gen releases and small stuff
Do you guys not also see this coming or is it worthless to draw any conclusions
The Direct is about spring/summer releases, while Sun/Moon is a holiday release.
Plenty of other games, announced or rumored, that it could be about. Don't expect more than a few mins on TP.
I agree. I think especially if they are focusing on most Wii U games now that E3 is likelier to be NX-centric. However, I don't think they will go the mini-Direct route necessarily. I mean they could, but they did make a lot of noise about continuing support for both platforms, so I could see them focusing a bit of the E3 presentation on just a big Pokémon reveal if they aren't releasing a HH NX this year (which it seems increasingly less likely they are) and maybe the Zelda NX one gets some Wii U mention as well, and maybe they even save Paper Mario for a little Wii U showcase also. I could see PMU being revealed tomorrow or at least prior to E3, though, as well, with E3 being focused on NX and to a lesser extent 3DS. It's just that talk of continued support for Wii U/3DS that makes me think they might want to show off their software during their actual presentation as well, though I suppose if it could be seen to take away from the NX focus, you might be right that they'd just show it elsewhere.

I made a comment and quickly clarified a point that could be, and was, misinterpreted.
I'm excited for announced 3DS/Wii U games, but you keep insisting I'm not, blaming me of moving goalposts, practicing performance art and justifying bitterness, and generally being an arrogant penis about the whole thing.
Basically, you're so eager to be right about this that nothing else matters.
I've tried to explain myself to you often enough.
But hey, you're being condescending to a bunch of other people in this thread too, so I guess that's your style.
They specified no mobile or NX for the Direct in November as well.

Some source said Bandai Namco spilled a few beans about their NX plans that included a Smash game
Most likely a complete edition port but what remains to be seen is if you this port gets all future patches and expansions turning Smash into a platform...
Or if its just a complete edition and nothing else
I cant help but think they want to continue fostering persistent games that build over time like we saw with splatoon, mario make, and smash 4
Half Life 3 confirmed
too easy
One weeek ago, Sun/Moon was leaked/announced, something both of us knew nothing about. I will go with I don't know.

You said they made it clear that nothing exciting will get released for Wiiu/3DS anymore, which actually means they will not announce something exciting anymore.
Okay.

DQ7 release date please

True. But with E3 likely to be NX-centric, it's a bit weird that they're holding back on their biggest 3DS game(s), & what may likely be the swan song(s) of the 3DS, this year.
Given how close we are to the launch of the NX Platform, I'm not sure we'll get any Pokkén DLC unless said DLC is ready to launch soon after the game's release (see Alex being released as SFV DLC this month).
I do think we'll get a Paper Mario U reveal either in this Direct or in the near future (or at the latest, a Mini-Direct before the main presentation at E3), namely to get it out of the way for the NX Platform news. Same for the Mother 3 & SMTxFE localizations as well as any other 3DS games (late localizations or otherwise) that Nintendo may have left to release.I agree.

They are not talking about NX in this direct though.
Expectations:
- Paper Mario Wii U with a "summer 2016" window
- Rundown of the Wii U lineup (TP HD, Pokkén etc.)
- Star Fox Zero update, no delay
- Final news on Splatoon as hinted by Nogami
- Mother 3 for the 10th anniversary (April?)
- Metroid Prime: Federation Force update
- Dragon Quest VII update
- Regional news (Bravely Second for NA, Fire Emblem and Yo-kai Watch for EU)
- New amiibo for May and possibly beyond
- Paper Mario Wii U with a "summer 2016" window
- Rundown of the Wii U lineup (TP HD, Pokkén etc.)

My guess...
The new rumoured paper mario game starts the direct
Then we'll get:
Pokken
Star Fox
#FE release day
Also Mother 3 finally in English!!!
Then 3DS stuff:
european release day for Fire Emblem
Federation Force
Pokemon Sun/Moon
and don't forget indies and amiibo stuff.
That's all.

Release date for Fates (and it better be soon) or bust
Sun/Moon was in Trev's schedule leak as Pokémon Project Niji, a codename that was revealed to be legitimate thanks to said Niji codename being mentioned in the files of the images for the game titles.
The two things I'm most excited for:
1. A fucking FE Fates release date (and we'd better get a cool special edition or reduced price on the other versions to make up for the wait)
2. How they handle showing off Fed Force after the backlash to it. I know I'll be lustily booing the screen, throwing garbage around my room and wishing physical harm on the person presenting it when it appears.

That if I'm correct they changed soon after (in regards to the names of the press assets)
Sans maybe the Splatoon news (I have a gut feeling that they're truly done with the game, balance patches & Splatfests aside, & have moved on to an NX-bound sequel), I agree with this. Though I did make a few changes (all of which were bolded). That being said, given how long it took for Roy & Ryu Amiibos to come out, I'm a bit afraid that we'll be stuck waiting a little longer for Cloud, Corrin, & Bayonetta.
So no non-NX games at E3? And no non-NX Directs after E3?
