Well, it appears that another Nintendo Direct is coming.

This time, it?s a general one, meaning that more titles are covered. What?s on your wishlist for this announcement?

EDIT: The rescheduled date has been announced.

Honestly I'll be happy with anything that's not Smash lol

 

[smonikkims]

Ah I didn't wanna bring this up because I've been going on about AC Switch so much but... that's my main hope. I'll enjoy the Direct regardless since I will actually be there for it but... yeah.

It can't be AC Switch, it would be too soon for that (And possibly incomplete too). I'd say we'd wait until November for AC Switch to be announced. Its the peak time for AC releases after all.

Other than that, I'd say they'll talk more on updates for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, hopefully DLC and more details and features for Switch Paid Online Services.

OMG HYPEEEEEE

I'm hoping they talk more about the game Super Mario Party being released for the Switch. It sounds like a cool game but there's pretty limited details on it as of right now. Crossing my fingers n hoping it's a good one ^^

I also would like to hear more about Pokemon Let's Go and its features. I've kinda been turned off of the game because, since it's a remake of Yellow, only Gen 1 pokemon exist within the game, which is a big bummer for me. But if they talk more about it and show off some new stuff, I may just change my mind again.

 

[smonikkims]

I don't think it can't be per se, for sure I see it being more realistic that it will be revealed later, but even if it is incomplete that doesn't mean they can't announce it at least. I know Nintendo isn't interested in keeping us waiting ages after the announcement but even if it's released next year, if they announced tomorrow I don't think that's really waiting ages. I don't personally think it's too soon for at least a little acknowledgement and that's all I'm really after!

I just love the feel of the Directs so I'm happy whatever really, and I'm curious about the online services too. I don't own a Switch yet but will as soon as there's word on AC, so that is pertinent to me as well.

Also there are going to be 3DS announcements which surprises me a little. This has gotta be the last direct that focuses on 3DS at all, right? I'm really curious to see if there'll be anything big or if it'll just be a few minor bits here and there.

 

[Envy]

Personally, my eyes will be on who is revealed for SSBU.

I hope they get to that quickly, because I really don't want to sit through however long they spend on LGP/E. There's absolutely nothing exciting about seeing towns and gym leaders we've had for twenty years now. Even the one new Pokemon they confirmed will be in the game is not something I even care about this point. I only want to learn about Generation VIII. LGP/E should be swept under the rug where they belong.

It can't be AC Switch, it would be too soon for that (And possibly incomplete too). I'd say we'd wait until November for AC Switch to be announced. Its the peak time for AC releases after all.

The only reason to not expect AC Switch here is that Animal Crossings have historically been revealed at E3's. Doesn't mean that couldn't change, but I'd rather not get too excited over that prospect. There's absolutely no reason to assume that it is "too soon" or would be "incomplete". The last mainline Animal Crossing game was released coming up on six years ago in November (JP).

 

[Flare]

Ooh can't wait to see what gets announced.

Also expecting some Smash bros character reveals to occur.

 

[Alienfish]

They better announce PQ2 for the west (also make physical editions gdi).

 

[Midoriya]

Honestly I'll be happy with anything that's not Smash lol

Yeah, I agree. They spent pretty much the whole time at E3 talking about Smash. I really don’t think they need to spend any more time on it. I’m not expecting AC Switch to be announced, but hopefully they will at least announce a couple new, fun games for the Switch.

 

[EpicGamer12]

My predictions:

Pokemon Lets Go Info
Smash Bros Info
Yoshi Info
Possible Fire Emblem Info
Various Indie/Japaweeb stuff I don't pay attention to

Hopes:
Animal Crossing (like I mentioned during E3, I think it is likely for Animal Crossing to be announced a few months after E3 in a general direct)
News on Wargroove release date

 

[Mayor Jack]

I really want more info on Luigi's Mansion 3DS! I want to see more gameplay! I also hope that they say something about AC Switch but I highly doubt that will happen.

 

[Bread Kennedys]

Smash is practically inevitable, but I would like to see what they have in store for us on that front. I would love to see AC Switch, but I can't say I see it happening. I would really like to see Pikmin as well, considering I think Miyamoto or someone from Nintendo said something about the next Pikmin being early in development a couple of years ago. I am going in with low expectations, though, so I don't expect any of these things (aside from a Smash newcomer or two).

 

[ali.di.magix]

Oh god just please no more Smash lol. We don't need a third Smash Direct (E3 was the first, then an actual Smash Direct). I'd like to see more info or gameplay on Mario Party and info on the Yoshi game. Of course I'd love to see Animal Crossing there too, but I'm keeping my overall expectations for this Direct low.

There's no way they won't have a segment for Smash and very likely there won't be a character reveal. Super Smash Bros is really the big thing for Nintendo for the rest of the year. Plus, Sakurai has made it known he wants to reveal all characters before the game comes out, and there are only so few opportunities to reveal characters in his current method. Back in the Brawl days, characters were revealed on the website, but now it's all in Directs.

With that said, I wouldn't be too worried about it being like E3. If it is, Nintendo has 0% confidence in anything else they're releasing. Even if there's not much, Nintendo really has to at least pretend that the other games are exciting, too. The E3 Direct was rather strange in this regard, I don't think they will repeat it.

Well looks like we are not getting a Direct later. Honestly for the best for the sake of the victims at Hokkaido.​

 

[smonikkims]

Props to Nintendo for the respect! It's a shame but it had to be done. <3 Hopefully everything goes back to normal soon, I'd hate to hear that things only get worse from here for the victims. </3

 

[OctoLiam]

Poor japan hope no body got hurt.

 

[-Apples-]

I changed the thread title in response to the delay. I don’t know when the Direct will be, so no specific date is stated.

I’m glad Nintendo cares about the victims who were affected by the earthquake.

 

[Midoriya]

Hope the victims of the earthquake will recover well. Looking forward to when the Direct is announced, though it’s honestly great for me that it’s not today, because today is going to be very busy for me.
