Topic: Nintendo Direct September 2018 Hopes and Predictions!

Back on topic, I think there's probably going to be a Smash segment (again). Possibly more info on Super Mario Party since that's just around the corner too. Maybe some indie game announcements too. I suspect they will spend more time talking about Super Mario Party then anything else. I hope there's information on NOS, but to be honest I'm rather doubting they will include it. If they do, it might just be a single comment along the lines of "Online Service goes live on X date".

But I have a sneaking suspicion we wont even know when it goes live until Nintendo Online Service goes live and ya have to pay for it to play online multiplayer.

we've made it my friends! it's happening!

Really excited.

At last! My body has been ready for more than a week now!

Stoked that Diablo 3 is coming .

Would love more details or announcements :

Prime 4
Yoshi
Xenoblade chronicles X
Full fallout port of 3 , 4 or new Vegas
At least one upcoming first party game
More / continued 3ds support

Hoping our mates in Japan are regrouping after the quake

pikmin 4 is surely going to be here.

Surely...

@MisterPi Proooobably not. I'd expect that in the January Direct, considering it's more likely to be a summer release. Of course, I could be wrong.

@Tsurii If it helps, Miyamoto mentioned in early 2017 (I think) that the project had been temporarily shelved, with the implication it was to get the Switch launch line-up ready. So it's probably entered development again at some point since then... hopefully...

The fact we will for sure be getting info on NSO is in my opinion a little exciting. I hadn't really expected that.

This is my idea of what will happen.
Minute 0 - 1 Yoshiaki Koizumi introducing the Direct.
Minutes 1 - 6 Some 3DS news and a spotlight on Persona Q2 (whatever that is)
Minutes 6 - 16 Nintendo Switch Online details - the remaining 10 NES games, confirmation of SNES games, description of the exclusive members-only offers and a reminder of the free 7 day trial.
Minutes 16 - 21 Super Mario Party highlight- introducing a new mode and characters.
Minutes 21 - 26 New big games/ports being revealed - Pilotwings, 2D Mario, F-Zero
Minutes 27 - 30 Bigger third party games being revealed (Spyro, another Bethesda game and an Assasins Creed port)
Minutes 30 - 32 A Metroid Prime 4 trailer showing a few (probably 5 at most) seconds of gameplay and a release window (Late 2019, early 2020)
Minutes 32 - 33 A Smash character reveal trailer shows of Isabelle and (maybe) Tom Nook. New Animal Crossing stage shown.
Minutes 33 - 35 Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch shown with a Summer 2019 reveal.

I don't know whether to or whether not to expect something as big as this, but this is my hopes.

Persona Q is a quirky dungeon crawler that blends Persona with dungeon crawling/cartography of Etrian Oddysey. Fun game, and it convinced me to try Etrian Oddysey. Which I don't regret doing. Although I'm not sure how exactly the cartography part would work on the Switch.

@MisterPi Yes, of course, Pikmin 4 will be there with all it's friends, Half-Life 3, Deep Down, and the QoL device. They'll all be there. Just rest your eyes....think of the happy showcase of all these nice thoughts.....

Can we take a moment to pay respects to the Vitality Sensor?

Since there's cross play with a few games for xbox one....master chief joins the fight in smash.

give me that Links awakening remake, or literally any first party game like F zero, Animal crossing, and pikmin. Then it will be the greatest direct ever

@Matthew010

Platinum Games, Matt, Platinum Games !

@Cobalt Do you know something we don't...?

@ilikeike I would say that there is a Kamiya's flavor in the air !

@Cobalt I literally don't care what it is, but any port or new game announcement or Bayonetta 3 details would make this direct for me. I'm like, half considering digging out my Wii U to play some Wonderful 101, but I should probably hold off and just play through it again on the go... don't mind rebuying when I'll probably put a 100+ hours into it.

@Cobalt Not sure if I want to know what Kamiya tastes like, but I won't mind it if we get a trailer for Bayo 3
