Topic: 2016 Nintendo Directs Discussion - September 1st 3DS Direct Confirmed!

There is no telling. It could be tomorrow for all we know

I'd think they'd have announced it by now if it was coming tomorrow. Congrats on becoming an admin by the way.

But first, they'll be a fake leak of a Word file someone printed with the Nintendo logo on the top with the paper being tilted giving it a more "legitimate" look.

Oh right. We have to do the cycle first

Oh that's right. Quick, someone make a fake leak

Reggie just sent me an email, Mother 3 confirmed.

You tease. You know Reggie is Giygas. At least we have Mother 4 coming in June.

Tantalus Wii U game might be announced in the Direct.

Maybe. I think the Direct will mostly be covering any game releasing between now and E3 (as well as the Smash update and Mewtwo DLC), though Splatoon won't get a specific release date as they'll save it for a Splatoon Direct that will happen in April. As for games releasing post-E3, probably just Mario Maker, maybe Xenoblade Chronicles X, and a 3DS localization (Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 or Theatrhythm Dragon Quest most likely).

I feel like it might be even three weeks away. As for what we will see, I think we will definitely see Xenoblade Chronicles X and Splatoon. Maybe even release dates for those two, along with Yarn Yoshi. And maybe even some new 3DS games?

• DLC:
  Mario Kart DLC 2 (All content for it announced + 8 new amiibo costumes)
  Smash DLC (Mewto + announcement of a new stage)
• Splatoon announcements (more features announced including amiibo support)
• Amiibo:
  Smash amiibo wave 5+6 announced for June and August (finishing up the smash series minus DLC characters)
  Mario amiibo wave 2 announced
  Amiibo cards announced for May
• Eshop titles
• SMT x FE announced as cancelled (i know i hate it but it probably is)...but to make up for it, all previous FE games will be released on eshop
• more Wii VC to cover next few months including: Mario Sports Mix, Wii Sports Resort, Skyward Sword, Sin and Punishment Star Successor, Mario Kart Wii, DKCR, and Wario Ware Smooth Moves
• one new game revealed at the end of the direct, getting people talking

Xenoblade Chronicles X will get it's NA and EU release dates at E3.

I think this is what we will see:

• Code Name STEAM (if Direct is before the release)
• Mario Party 10
• Fossil Fighters Frontier
• Hyrule Warriors DLC (for NA)
• Smash update and Mewtwo DLC
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
• Xenoblade Chronicles X
• Splatoon (given an early-mid May release)
• Yoshi's Woolly World (given an April release)
• Etrian Mystery Dungeon
• Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros Edition
• Mario Kart 8 DLC (this is coming at the end of May according to the eShop)
• Mario Maker
• Tantalus Wii U port
• Inazuma Eleven games coming to North America
• Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 localization
• Amiibo (the last of the non-DLC characters for Smash and wave 2 of the Super Mario amiibo).

Splatoon will likely have a dedicated Direct in April, followed by this year's Pokemon game being announced in early May following the financial results report.

@IceClimbers I'm not seeing the late May release for the Mario Kart 8 DLC in the eshop, it just says "May 2015" in the EU one. I'd hope Nintendo wouldn't delay the MK8 DLC in NA like they did with the Majora's Mask and Ganon packs for Hyrule Warriors.

@Grumblevolcano The US eShop lists the MK8 DLC as coming "at the end of May".

My new prediction list:

• Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2 details with final release date revealed
• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U's Miiverse Stage DLC details and details on Mewtwo for both 3DS and Wii U with a final release date revealed
• Xenoblade Chronicles X details
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3D details
• Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition details with a non-Japanese release date for Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition revealed
• Devil's Third details
• Legend of Kay details
• Rodea the Sky Soldier localization details
• Tantalus's Wii U port revealed
• Collectible Badge Center for the Nintendo 3DS eShop outside of Japan
• Hako Boy! for the Nintendo 3DS eShop outside of Japan
• Ultimate NES Remix for Japan (with the title "Famicom Remix: Best Choice")
• Nintendo 64 games for Wii U VC
• eShop Sizzle Reel
• A screenshot feature for both 3DS and Wii U
• An application for Wii U that combines photo, sound, and video into a single application.

I think that Splatoon and Mario Maker will have their own Directs throughout the Spring.

I would love to see an ice climbers game made by next level games for the 3DS announced. Also Mewtwo DLC trailer for smash.

The only direct that I know for this month is XenoBlade Chronicles X which is march 6th.

No! Wii U please.

I feel as though Devil's Third will be saved for E3. Yoshi's Woolly World should get new details though.

30 minutes of Xenoblade Chronicles X lol.
