Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

i still think will see Fire Emblem Three Houses in May and Animal Crossing in Late Summer or Early Fall of 2019.
Yoshi will probably come out March. and two unannounced Wii U ports.

as for the direct i think it will air on January 10, 2019 or January 17, 2019.

Hopefully the Yoshi game offers a meatier experience than Kirby did. I won't bother with it if reviews indicate it's bloody easy to complete and you'll be done with it in five hours.

I'd love to see Mortal Kombat XL, both Injustice games and the Batman Arkham titles on Switch. MK XL in particular, release it in March ahead of the April release of 11.

This Thursday folks:

@Fowlersrs
It's fake

Looked genuine to me at a quick glance

@Fowlersrs Watch the language, mate.

My predictions:
Direct will be on thursday the 17th, release dates for pirana plant dlc (february) , yoshi (march) , marvel ultimate alliance (april) fire emblem three houses (may) , deamon x machina (june), annimal crossing (july), ninjala (february), final fantasy 12 (march). final fantasy 7 will be able to download after the direct. Third party support: assassins creed the ezio collection (physical) assassins creed III, assassins creed liberation , far cry 3 (digital), dark souls 2, xcom 2. At the end of the direct Nintendo will be revealing metroid prime triology coming this fall.

My somewhat realistic predictions:
Mini Direct. Full Direct in February/March.
Switch games only.
A couple of ports.
Yoshi release date.
Bite-sized Kirby out right there and then.
Some other stuff.

January Direct will be either 10th or 17th January and will only feature games that are releasing in January to June 2019.

1. Opens with Metroid Prime Trilogy announced and dated. A note that MP4 will be at E3 will be included, but nothing else shown, except for maybe a new version of the Logo as that one at E3 2017 was clearly thrown together!
2. NSMBUD - quick reminder it's launching / out now.
3. Mario Party DLC in the form of 2 new Boards.
4. Yoshi’s Crafted World new trailer, a good 5 minutes of features discussed and launch date.
5. Daemon x Machina new trailer and launch date.
6. Wonderful 101 Port confirmed and launch date.
7. Fire Emblem Three Houses new trailer, a good 5 minutes of features discussed, launch date.
8. Star Fox Zero HD Port confirmed and launch date.
9. Mario Kart DLC (1 New Cup, 4 Tracks (2 Retro, 2 All New), 3 Characters)
10. Closes with "on the subject of Online" the following 15 SNES games are available right now, along with these 3 NES games for January. Confirms that new NES and SNES games will be added each month moving forward.

To confirm, I do not expect any news on Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Metroid Prime 4, Pikmin 4, Bayonetta 3, Luigi's Mansion 3 or 2D Zelda.

I do expect a Pokemon Direct to arrive in February or March, the next Nintendo Direct to arrive in March/ April and a Nindies Direct to land early February.

Hard to see how it would work without a gamepad equivalent. Some tasks in the game required being able to aim at extreme angles by using the gamepad.

I'd be pretty happy to see some dlc boards for Mario Party and some more rec room games. I think they could go the Kirby and Arms route of free updates considering the main mode was a little lacking but I'd be happy to pay if the price reflects what is available.

Supposing the rumors about the january the 10nth direct are right I would say that more information about yoshi, travis, NSMBUDX are a given. I would like it if they announced Mario Odissey 2 for 2020 and two dlc kindoms (the size of the sea kingdom) releasing right after the direct. I would love a remaster of zelda skyward sword since I never got to finish it on wii even though I loved its story and art style.
Since I love pokémon games more news about the upcoming gen 8 games would be greatly appreciated. Still I don't think they are going to make any announcements in that regard yet. A video showing more of Town is more likely in my opinion.

As most have said. More boards will be great and get us back in the game.

More surprise mini games would be great too

MK8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Party are the only 1st party games that are already released that we don't know about future plans.

• MK8 Deluxe has been releasing a bunch of updates supporting Labo but no confirmation yet of post-launch support finished so you may get stuff like compatibility with Mario Kart Tour
• The last Super Mario Odyssey hint art and costumes were in late November but still has the message "Look forward to more updates in the future"
• The last general Direct was before Super Mario Party's launch

@Grumblevolcano other people seem to think new track dlc but I get the feeling they would save any new tracks for an inevitable MK9 but some new battle arenas and some new karts would be welcome.

Mario Odyssey could do with some more new world's and while I would love it I don't think the chances are great. I would be curious to see what they could bring to the game though. Maybe some cross promotion for Luigi's Mansion.

Hopefully we know more by Wednesday if a direct is happening this week. Since it's January 7th, you gotta imagine that a direct is on the horizon as they STILL haven't announced nes games..

Direct will be announced in about 45 minutes.

Animal Crossing and Yoshi are big features. Color Splash in Spring, W101 in Summer. Indie montage, a couple of big 3rd party ports. No Metroid or Pokémon. Piranha plant gameplay and release date and Joker gameplay. SNES games starting this month. Heard it here first

Color Splash makes sense, though I really wish they'd just remaster Thousand Year Door, or Super Paper Mario. At least if it's Color Splash I can give it another shot

Any chance Color Splash had of being a success was killed by the excitement for the NX. If Nintendo really wanted it to be a success, it should’ve been delayed to be released both on Switch and Wii U. But then again, it really could’ve made the Switch’s first year line up look worse and Nintendo realized that’d it would make good holiday filter, even if no one bought it.(I think it sold less than 500,000 units sold)
