I really like the look of Torchlight 2. I hadn't paid any attention to it until 10 minutes ago and now I really want to play it but I must resist. The last thing I need just now is another super addictive time sink.
@JaxonH I've got the Dragons Quest IX demo downloaded, I was going to play it nearer to release or just skip it altogether and go all in when the game comes out. I've never played a DQ before but I've watched enough gameplay from IX that I know for sure I'll like it. I never used to be a fan of turn based battles in RPG's but Octapath Traveler and Sega Ages Phantasy Star finally won me over. The latter being quite ironic as that was the game that originally put me off turn based RPG's, way back in the late 80's and in the 3 decades since, I just went witn the mindset that they weren't for me. Pretty silly really as I've missed out on some classics growing up but I've come round eventually and I'm making sure I don't miss out on the modern classics.
So yep, I'll be getting DQIX for sure, perhaps I'll wait till nearer Xmas. It's just The Witcher 3 is a game I've wanted to play since I first layed eyes on it. Before the Switch launched, the 2 games I wanted to play the most from the other consoles were The Witcher 3 and Doom, so things have worked out great with the Switch, I couldn't be happier with the console.
Welp, my prediction of the 5th just went up in smoke. Still, this wasn't exactly a surprise to anyone I'm sure. 40 minutes is about what I'd expect, (and the time is nice for me), so let's see what we've got here:
3 minutes on Sword and Shield. We're actually pretty clueless about those games still in many ways, so I'd expect TPC to actually cooperate with new info during the direct for once. Not sure what it'll be about, other than almost certainly revealing a couple new regional forms and Pokemon. We might finally learn something about the legendaries?
3 minutes on Luigi's Mansion 3. This is going to be the last we hear about this before launch, so I'd expect a full brief overview trailer, and one last small reveal about the game.
Animal Crossing - just 2 minutes here, reveal some more features, but keep it brief overall until next year.
That leaves about 32 minutes for the rest:

Finale:
N64 Mini (November 2019) - 2 minutes (EDIT: Super Mario Odyssey 2 (In development) - 1 minute)
Yeah, in the time since I posted mine, it looks like Far Cry 3 + Blood Dragon just got debunked in favor of Black Flag + Rogue. And I totally forgot SNES games announced for online and Fire Emblem DLC in my own predictions, whoops.
I highly doubt we're getting an N64 Mini announced in a direct focused on Switch games, and especially not as the one more thing.
@link3710 Oh yeah, the other 2 Mini consoles were random trailers out of nowhere. Swap N64 Mini with "Super Mario Odyssey 2 is in development" - 1 minute and have Super Mario Maker 2 update for 1 minute.
I fully expect to see the "friends online" update of SMM2 to launch after the direct, including, of course, the titular "friends online" feature along with a few new course elements (that will all be gizmos).
While the majority users here keep wishing for typical AAA 3rd party games from PC, i'm waiting for the not so popular games but really capturing my interest with their unique or charming gameplay.
