@FragRed That's the GameStop Managers conference (a private function where they go over what to expect upcoming in the industry), so nothing to do with the Direct.
As for the direct, from 2012-2014 the major fall direct was in November, with game specific ones in September. Since 2015, every major fall direct has been in the first two weeks of September, and I highly doubt that will change this year. Two weeks from now seems likely, yeah.
I think you'll get your typical few minutes of upcoming games info (zelda daemon DQ, Luigi and pokemon) but as for new stuff, a Wii u port maybe of 3d world or pikmin for January. Im still banking on prime trilogy and I think that's December honestly. They need to also bring up whats going on for switch online and new systems.
We are so overloaded with games right now, I don’t really need this Direct. Still love them, though. Seeing as we got Breath of the Wild 2 teased this summer, I reckon a Super Mario Odyssey 2 has to be in the offing.
@Magician you and me both. It's a shame that games I want to buy and play right away, Will have to wait. Then again, What a great problem to have and a great time to be a switch owner. Looking at $175 from Aug 30- September 30. And that's WITH cutting games out. These are all day 1's that I'm getting no matter what. Maybe just maybe I can cut down (1)$20 game and bring the total down to $155. But still... did i mention that's NOT including tomorrow's direct and what's in store for either shadow drops or very near future 😣
I wonder if this will be like the past 2 years and we'll know some surprise big 3rd party ports suddenly.Though maybe they'll focus more on the ones we know, Witcher 3 should be marketed heavily on Switch.
I'm mostly just interested in if we'll see Town again.
Hope they give us another sneak peak at Death of the Wild (working title).
I also think we'll get another port of some kind. Either Mario 3D World or maybe the Metroid Prime Trilogy.
Probably something else from Square Enix too. I think Switch is probably becoming their biggest market. Either another Final Fantasy game (maybe 13) or maybe another port of DQ8, given that it's so well-loved in Japan, and also they have yet to release a superior port of it.

I kind of doubt it will happen, but it would be nice to see what Monolith Soft has been working on. If I recall correctly, they were working on a new fantasy-themed IP in 2017, so I wonder how far along the development is for that. A new Xenoblade would be great, too, though I kind of doubt anything about it would be announced before 2020. I also heard they were working on a Zelda game; is that for BOTW 2 kind of like what they did for the original, or a completely different project?
@MonadoBoy Well, Monolith Soft has 5 studios now, and is working on the new fantasy IP, the new xenoblade, BotW 2 (presumably, not confirmed, but this is likely the Kyoto studio that only supports Nintendo and doesn't develop their own titles), and likely two other projects at the same time (supposedly one is a 'third option' whatever that means, the other studio only just opened so unless they start off with ports while they assemble their team we won't be seeing what they're up to). I'd be surprised if we don't see them at this point.
Can't watch live - 11pm BST is unrealistic for me. I'll be catching up tomorrow morning, hopefully with no spoilers (harder than it sounds - it's all that is suggested on YouTube after a Direct.)
Hey Nintendo, if you're listening, Pilotwings would be great please and thank you.
As long as they're currently working on Xenoblade 3 in some capacity then I'm fine.
Given the timing of the releases, I'm thinking we have a good chance of getting 2 3D Zeldas, 2 3D Marios and 2 Xenoblade games on the Switch. (those are my 3 favourite Nintendo franchises)
