In the recent news article about the Super Smash Wii U sales, it also quotes Nintendo with:
"The Nintendo holiday is off to a great start, but there’s a lot of work left to do and a few more surprises in store for our fans."

Since the Nintendo Direct on November 05, I've felt that there will be a December Nintendo Direct as well. There are so many early 2015 games that weren't mentioned in the November ND, and during the past years Nintendo has always made a December ND (even when there was a November ND). Last year, they announced Hyrule Warriors during the December ND, perhaps there's a new game reveal in December? Or a downloadable Christmas title? Thoughts?

They are sponsoring (or something like that) the new Game Awards aren't they? We there will be games announced there, maybe Nintendo will be one of them?

Reggie is part of the Game Awards advisory board, just as there are representatives from MS, Sony, EA, Ubi, etc have. I think the Game Awards show is just an award show.

It sounds plausible. Now that Iwata is back, I would not mind Directs more often, and the return of Iwata Asks would not hurt either.

I will comment in this thread, never being able to find it again.

I could see them doing a later Direct to give a more definite release date of games coming BEFORE E3 2015

The big surprises and info we really want is really E3 2015 material.

I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

I'd say early next year is more likely but i'll probably have to eat my hat for that.

Maybe Reggie will pull the Cranky Kong trick again, this time there being a Kong DLC pack for free with Mario Kart 8 featuring Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong along with 4 retro battle arenas one of which is Funky Stadium from Mario Kart Wii.

I still think they are reserved for another future Wii U game (that's why the characters have been omitted both in MK 7, MK 8 and DLC1+2). It's very much a rumor, but I can't find any available fact that contradicts this:

If Zelda U is to make it out next Fall, I think it would be logical to show more of it to help drive Christmas sales. They always seem to like giving major console Zelda releases a good 18 months or so of build-up. Yet we haven't seen a thing since E3.

There were small announcement trailers (from various companies) in the past game awards shows (it's where Nintendo officially revealed Cranky as a playable character in DKC:TF, for example), but as they're completely restructuring the event, I'm not sure if they'll still do that.

I don't know. I would hope so, but we'll just have to wait and see. Frankly I'm still waiting to find out how amiibos work with Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, seeing as how it's right around the corner.

There is nothing here...except for the stuff I just typed...

I still take that rumor with a massive grain of salt, but I'll admit that Diddy Kong's complete absence from Mario Kart 8 only adds fuel to that fire.
