@BLP_Software I was right! This was a post I made in the E3 thread.
"If there's a Nintendo Direct before E3 then in the next few weeks seem most likely. The last 1st party game with a release date announced during the January Switch presentation comes out in 18 days (MK8 Deluxe) and after that we really don't know much. ARMS is spring which dependent on the definition of spring could be May or June; Splatoon 2 is summer which dependent on definition of summer could be June, July, August or September and everything else is a very vague 2017 release."
As Fire Emblem Echoes supports the Corrin amiibo, I think they may announce the release date of the Corrin amiibo in the Direct. As I don't see a Smash port being announced until E3, I'd guess Bayonetta and/or Cloud gets saved for Smash port launch.
N64 VC announced!.. with it's only game, Superman 64.
Gamecube VC coming! in 2019, with the games being 60 bucks each. 90 bucks for Melee.
Super Mario Obyssey season pass announced, with no description of what it will have. Just gotta buy it, and hope for the best, peasants!
3DS pikmin does turn out to be Pikmin 4. Whatever Switch Pikmin game hasn't even started production yet!
Next pokemon rpg games announced, with amibo's of every pokemon, and they're required. Gotta catch them all! (By that, they mean all 800ish pokemon amibos)
Come on, now! That's not low expectations.
After the same trailers and nothing new for both Splatoon and ARMS, a zoomed in view of grass is shown for the rest of the Direct, slowly pulling out. Nothing gets shown other than a field of grass.
Do I win the lowest expectations award?
Honestly I doubt we'll get any information on virtual console here. I hope we get more information on pikmin 3DS though. I'm really looking forward to that
“We decided to charge for the service because we are concerned with customer satisfaction,” Takahashi said. “We’ll be maintaining the online service and providing new services that we haven’t had up until now, and there are costs associated with those. We’d also like to maintain a stable playing experience and provide proper support. We are working to prepare all of the features until the service begins in the fall of 2017, and details on the service will be available at a later time.”
It might just be me, but outside of a few 'lost host' connections, I have never really had a problem with the online servers that Nintendo have used up until now. It is strange to think that they are perfectly happy with offering free online gaming for the next six months then abruptly begin to charge customers.
You either have something like that ready at launch, or you don't do it at all. Saying that, I am curious to see what these 'services' are that they require money for (to maintain) in the foreseeable future.
If this new payable online services doesn't eventually get rid of Friend Codes for good though...
Tbh I'd be perfectly happy paying for the service if miiverse was still there and allowed us to upload video clips.
Oh and system wide achievements, I'd totally find that worth the $30 a year alone.
But as it stands I guess a phone app that lets us voice chat in supported games is a step in the right direction. Plus it's not too expensive for just a year

I know we're playing around, but I personally think a bunch of stuff nobody wanted to happen is worse than flip all happening, and an entire direct of paint drying or something.
Haven't really been impressed with the switch games i have played so far. :/
Bummer, man. Have you played Graceful Explosion Machine? It's freakin' awesome.
Just a little plug for me: I have the 13th best score in the world on 1-W challenge mode! AH! I've never managed something like that before in Geometry Wars, but I LOVE twitch shooters like this.
@rallydefault I managed to get in to the top ten of one stage at Geometry Wars,7th or 8th I placed if I remember correctly.I was fairly chuffed with myself.

Congrats, man! It's a pretty cool feeling. I'm sure my score won't hold for long, but hey, gotta strut around while I can lol
Honestly I doubt we'll get any information on virtual console here.
If we're going to hear about it in this half of the year it'll be in a Direct like this. This Direct will be part clearing the decks for E3 and part talking about stuff we're going to get before E3. If I was to guess what we'll see in this Direct? I'd say probably My Nintendo, Virtual Console, Netflix, Indie games and Arms/Splatoon/Mario Kart.
