Are you a girl?

It's not 13th here 😢

 

[sinonobu]

So hyped for this. Hopefully we will finally see Taiko and Tales of

 

[WhatNXt]

Nintendo, behold my desires:

• Decent System Update, search by username, add friends by facebook/twitter as with Mario Run app, simple messaging and notifications
• Cheevos
• "We're vastly improving the Switch Online app" OR "We're scrapping the Switch Online app"
• Netflix, YouTube and such.
• Video sharing (if its possible)
• Shock game announcement, optional shock peripheral announcement
• Announcements that make Christmas awesome
• VC (I have a SNES Classic pre-order, I still want VC damn-it!).. better yet, VC and special VC Joycon
• Rocket league goodness
• GIFable material

 

[Brock Reiher]

Achievements please.
Rocket League release date please.
Rocket League full party up and cross play please.

Oh yeah, thisll probably be the online one huh.

 

[BGBW]

Can't we have it even later. Midnight feels too early.

 

[Tathanen]

I kinda don't want to know anything else about Mario Odyssey ;-;

 

[Weebos]

That is a long direct.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

Xenoblade 2 exploration trailer and release date.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

So apparently the Japanese direct is 50 minutes long:

Gaf gonna salivate

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Nearly 45 minutes long according to NoA

50 minutes for the japanese one, beat that !

 

[HylianTom]

Please, dearest Nayru, announce a release date for BotW DLC #2.. my coworkers will hate me, but I'm taking a week off when it drops.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

45 minutes? Nintendo dropping that Holiday payload.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Is this the first time when Nintendo announces how long a direct is right when announcing the Direct? At least for a non-E3 direct.

Every time they announce a Direct people go crazy speculating the time and ended up disappointed at E3, maybe they've learned to actually get ahead of that speculation.

Video capture.

Ah good call, I really hope that's coming soon. Hopefully a major OS update is coming, with save transfers/cloud saves and Wifi fixes, and we know they're working on achievements.

 

[Ridley327]

The "mainly focused on what's heading to Switch and 3DS" makes me think they may talk about Switch OS updates or the online service too... they (almost?) never discuss mobile games in Directs.

Maybe some more SNES Classic details actually?

What more do we need to know about the SNES Classic? We've had videos showing footage of games running on it already, including Star Fox 2, and we know its full set of features. The only thing I can see them doing is a quick mention of its release date at the end of the month.

 

[Megatron]

Hm. Right at the end of my work day.... may have to watch this a little delayed.

 

[Triforce141]

inb4 a good portion of it is focused on Metroid Samus Returns, the game that's already got more than enough coverage and comes out this week

 

[HeySeuss]

Anybody know if I can watch it live on my Switch? I know they have them available after but I've never tried to watch it live on there.

6 is my TV time and it'd be pretty cool to watch it live. I guess I could watch it on my WiiU if nothing else...

 

[Shahadan]

So apparently the Japanese direct is 50 minutes long:

Gaf gonna salivate

5 minutes of Sushi Striker !

 

[Zedark]

So apparently the Japanese direct is 50 minutes long:

Gaf gonna salivate

Are these two versions different versions like the april direct had? Is that a thing for Nintendo?

 

[frankie_baby]

13th here (uk)

All hail Vern

 

[OrbitalBeard]

45 MINUTES OF PRIME 4 FOOTAGE.

45 minutes of SNES Classic demos

 

[Meffer]

Please please please announce LBX2.

 

[Laieon]

Hoping it's more for Switch than DS, but I'd be content with 50/50. Expecting dates for things we know are coming but might not have concrete release dates yet (Rocket League, Stardew Valley, etc...).

 

[teaveee]

Give me release dates for xenoblade 2, skyrim, rocket league, and stardew valley and I'll be set. Bonus points for Smash, Animal Crossing, or Mario Party.

 

[KingSnake]

"over the next few months" - this is good. Might get some previews of some 2018 games too. Hopefully new 2018 games, not delayed to 2018.

I wonder if they will present now the full details for the online subscription.

I also wonder if they will finally show some non-gaming apps.

 

[Fireblend]

Crossing my fingers for 30 minutes of regular Direct with new game info/announcements, and then 15 minutes focusing on a Xenoblade 2 blowout concluding with a release date announcement *_*

 

[yuoke]

Oh one punch man was right, cool.

 

[Ricker]

I like this hour (EST) better then the other post ;P

Xeno release date also maybe...? heres hoping.

 

[victreeb3l]

Hope to see more about the second Zelda DLC.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Are these two versions different versions like the april direct had? Is that a thing for Nintendo?

Every region usually gets their own Directs with slight changes, various games included/excluded, yeah. The major worldwide stuff is the same but there's tons of Japanese directs for example that have Japan-only/unlocalized games.

 

[Magypsy]

Yessssss ima get myself a nice beer and enjoy this

(Nintendo please announce a Classic Controller to Switch adapter thank you)

 

[AAMARMO]

 

[Principate]

Are these two versions different versions like the april direct had? Is that a thing for Nintendo?

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

 

[sinonobu]

Fingers crossed for FE Switch

 

[RRockman]

Why can't I hold all this Hype?

 

[Okami Haundo]

Oh shit, This will happen right as I'm driving home from work. Gonna have to disable Twitter notifications so my phone doesn't blow up while I'm in the car. Can't believe how long it is! I wonder if they'll announce anything we haven't seen yet for Switch...

I've been saying that I believe now is the perfect time to launch VC on Switch. Get it out there to drive people towards their full console while SNES Classic hype is maxed out. They sure as hell won't cut into the demand for SNES Classic by having the same games on Switch.

Also: Random speculation but I'm convinced that when we do get VC on Switch, it'll include Wii games and bluetooth support for Wii-Remotes.

 

[Litri]

FORTY FIVE!!!!!!!

 

[The Giant]

If Nintendo does the whole headlines style again. They will show lots of games.

 

[MomoQca]

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

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

 

[ASaiyan]

45 minutes? Good lord.

What wonders await us? Is it finally Smash Bros time?

 

[KingSnake]

Every time they announce a Direct people go crazy speculating the time and ended up disappointed at E3, maybe they've learned to actually get ahead of that speculation.

I don't know, maybe. For me it sounds like a lot of confidence coming out from this announcement.

 

[Neoxon]

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).

 

[vsbizarro]

WAT?! AM I SEE A SMASH BROS ANNOUCEMENT?!

 

[Forkball]

Longer than E3, my god.

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

 

[Father_Brain]

Smash 4 DX, surprise November release. Calling it.

 

[Zedark]

Every region usually gets their own Directs with slight changes, various games included/excluded, yeah. The major worldwide stuff is the same but there's tons of Japanese directs for example that have Japan-only/unlocalized games.

Alright, so it would make sense that the Taiko and Tales games would feature only in the Japanese TGS since they likely aren't going to be localised soon.

 

[seady]
