online not mentioned but surely they will??
I felt like were were good on directs but then here comes another one shortly after... Oh well, lets see if they can talk about the online service and reveal me as a smash bros character at the end and announce a sequel to my adventures already.
5 mins 3DS, 5 mins online services, 25 minutes Smash Bros.
the 3ds still lives a well!
Woop woop! Will be great to watch during dinner!!!
Time to deliver!
Umm Online???
Well at least it’s late. Should be quiet at work by then.
Nice to see some 3DS love.
Wailuigi confirmed
F-Zero Swiitch confirmed. Launching with online services for 30 player simultaneous online play!!!!!!
i'm not even smiling or excited as i expect more ports and indie games unless nintendo prove me wrong? there isn't much enthusiasm really.
FINALLY! This direct is long overdue.
Nice to see 3DS mentioned, i would love a new Wario Land game in 3D
Wait? Nintendo showing Nintendo games? Holy Cow!
They don’t mention online in the description. Again, they just baffle me. Who won’t be surprised if thy don’t even mention online in the direct?
3ds..........😒😒😒😒😒
The question is, will Reggie drop off the battle bus to meet us on the battlefield of Fortnite?
@BenAV How about 24,5 minutes of new stuff and 30 seconds of Smash? I've seen enough already.
Sweet.
I swear to God I felt it in my bones there was going to be a Direct tomorrow, but I didn’t want to say anything.
Looking forward to it, as always!
Online info, finalize the release schedule for the rest of the year, one surprise first party announcement (Pikmin please?), info on upcoming exclusive titles (Fire Emblem, Yoshi, Travis Strikes Again) and some shock thirs party reveals a la DOOM, and I'll be happy!
The 3ds lives on!!
5 pm my time? This actually works for my night owl schedule. I won't have to lose sleep to catch this one. Just hope the 3DS doesn't eat up too much time.
Luigi's Mansion!
35 minutes seems like a sensible amount of time to talk about sensible expectations. Let's just assume it's about 2018 games and the Online.
We are this close to launch of the online service and this direct still won't have any info? I can only assume there will be a separate direct or else that is just silly.
@Claytonbob Seeing the number of Directs they are pumping out lately it would not surprise me if there will be an additional Direct next week dedicated for the online services.
In the exciting re-release of Balloon Fight for Nintendo Switch(TM) You may notice your balloon is a slightly brighter shade of red. We hope you will please look forward to this!
@KoopaTheGamer I think we all have. Most people who are going to buy Smash Bros. would have been sold the second they saw the logo. It's been a bit excessive.
FINALLY!
I had a feeling this would be the week. I hope it's a meaty one!
What time for West Indonesia Time ?
Something new ?
Let's see what they have to show. Could be a lot of nothing, you never know.
When it comes to online, I seem to be one of the few who feel like they know everything necessary for the start already besides some more retro games. So I am not holding my breath.
3pm, eh? Niiiice, I'm sure it'll be easier around here then. And IT fixed my iPrism filter this time, so I don't have to glance between the vid on my phone and chat on my monitor.
@NEStalgia I chuckled a bit. I hope at this point that's all they say about Online. I'd rather hear @dijoua ask for a 'carear tab' 80 more times than hear everyone say they need more info.
@KoopaTheGamer there is that too, they will just show more smash.
Metroid Prime Trilogy HD please!
Gen 1 baby! Yeah!
I think we'll get 4 key points:
3DS headlines - includes 1 or 2 unannounced 1st party games
Super Mario Party spotlight (boards, modes, online)
Switch headlines - includes a few unannounced 3rd party games of DOOM/Diablo 3 scale, unannounced content for existing games (e.g. Kirby Star Allies wave 3, kingdoms for Odyssey, Splatoon 2 4.0) and info on the paid online service
Smash Ultimate spotlight (includes new fighters, online functionality and a demo)
I hope they don't focus too much on Smash as we already knew more than enough about that game at E3, let alone the August Direct.
Surely, they'll explain the details on Nintendo Online, right? If they don't tomorrow in the direct, they might get serious backlash for no
info. on a paid online service no one has faith in right now.
About freaking time Nintendo! Unlike a lot of other people, I'm actually really glad that the 3DS will be getting some focus in this direct, the poor thing has gotten such a huge hate bandwagon attached to it that I can't help but root for the little system.
As for the online service, I'm going to predict that that will get it's own seperate direct in a later date since I've noticed that Nintendo have been hosting a sleuth of directs this past month all focusing on different areas. First was the Smash Bros exclusive direct, then the Nindies, then there was the short mobile direct and tomorrow they'll be hosting a direct on their big Switch and 3DS games. I think it only makes sense to end off their list of direct with one that is entirely focused on their online service. Gets enough time to explain all the details without having to sacrifice time that could be used to showcase and hype up all the upcoming games.
I will do my best to keep all expectations in check.
They will run through Luigi's Mansion for 3DS and say Luigi's Mansion Deluxe (1 & 2) will arrive for switch in early 2019.
Hope not just Pokemon Let's go! Figers crossed some surprises (new announcements) on the way and there will be no dissapointment again
Why in Nintendo of America the tweet mentions first #3DS titles?
I do hope its one of those quickfire directs including announcements that last just 1 min.
I’m gonna go with:
Online Service details.
Etrian Odyssey X Western Date
Some PKMN Lets Go Details
Diablo III Release Date
Doom Eternal Release Date
Maybe some SMT V Details
Daemon X Machina Details (Possible)
1 or 2 new announcements
Some Smash Details
First day back at school and we’re looking at 11 in the evening. Screw you Nintendo!
In all seriousness, I’m looking forward to this Direct, I’m sure it’ll be good.
Pikmin 4
I feel like there might be some update to Splatoon since this month’s new weapons haven’t come out yet. And of course this is airing the one time I work on a Thursday night... ugh
Announcements that’d make me happy right now: Dixie for Smash, GC games, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart 8 DLC/Mario Kart 9, Okami 2, or Katamari. Doubt any of that will happen.
Hoping they bring that rumoured links awakening remake to 3ds or switch
@HenryKissinger If he does that makes a 10/10 Direct for me oo wee
Crossing my fingers for a Nintendo sports game as Wave Race, Pilotwings or 1080° (this one for winter would be awesome).
OMG!OMGO!OGM!GOM!OMGO!MGO!MGMO!! AMINAAL CROSSSERS!!!
LoZ: Windwaker announced for 3DS and Switch for 2019, some new but small pokemon offshoot for 3DS and they'll tell us the exact date for Nintendo Switch online, but not include other details
I'll keep my expectations in check for this direct.
On the 3DS side, i'm expecting updates on Luigi's Mansion, Bowser's Inside Story 3DS, any 3rd party games that are currently in development for the thing (e.g. Persona Q2) and MAYBE 1 new announcement (possible confirmation on that Link's Awakening remake that was circling around the internet early this year).
On the Switch side, i'm expecting more news on Super Mario Party, the 'Let's Go' games, obviously a good chuck on Ultimate, some 3rd party stuff like Diablo 3 and Starlink, a new update for Splatoon 2 and hopefully some new info on some of their 2019 games that were shown off at their E3 like Daemon x Machina and Fire Emblem. If their IS a surprise announcement (which I don't think there'll be but I hope their is), I hope it's the reveal of that Star Fox Racing game that was rumoured just before E3.
Pikmin 4 and Animal Crossing Switch would be very nice but I won't get myself hyped up just to be disappointed again. I've done that several times already and I refuse to do it once more :')
Please no more Smash info (coming from someone who doesn’t care about the series).
@Anti-Matter If you type "3 PM PT" in Google, it will probably show you what it would be in your local time (works for me).
I think it's 5 AM on Friday (WIB, Jakarta) in your case.
Thank god we desperately needed a Direct
@BenAV LOL!
A little birdie whispers::
SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE on New 3ds.
Believe.
Like to see Resident Evil 4HD on the Nintendo switch finally haven't seen that in a while
I'm expecting about 5-10 minutes of Smash, Probably a quick segment on Super Mario Party, online info, info on some 2019 releases, and 5-10 of 3DS info.
@HenryKissinger If the show doesn't start exactly like this, I'll riot.
If Metroid Prime 5 isn't announced, then we riot.
Keeping my expectations low, very low...
1 AM for me. I was hoping for a better time since all the indie stuff was shown during daytime.
I hope they don't spend too much time if any on the online stuff. We're going to know the details once it launches anyway, I'd rather see new games.
I don't really need any Smash information either since the Smash Direct gave quite enough for now, although I'd still be hyped if they end up showing something.
I’m excited!!
Besides news on new games, I hope to see Xenoblade X and Tokyo Mirage Sessions port announcements. I don’t expect any more WiiU ports past 2018 (except 3D World) so it’s now or never.
Oh good, I'll be off work by then.
I may be reaching a bit, but I won't be surprised if they tease Metroid Prime 4. Maybe they'll save that for next E3, but you never know with Nintendo.
GTA V, keep believing!
Thank god! just what I wanted, hope they reveal tons of new stuff as well as more details of the online service.
Nintendo please announce Shadow For Smash Ultimate
@Frendo Diablo III may be what's filling that spot, even though it was announced before. I wouldn't be surprised if it's FF XV pocket edition though, or Spyro.
I'm expecting some Mario Party stuff, and at least 1 major third party announcement and 1 first party announcement (possibly a lower tier game franchise).
I don't think they'll show much of Pokemon Lets Go or Smash outside of perhaps a new trailer.Those will have their own mini Directs as per usual.
I think tomorrow we'll get a reveal of a big 1st party game along with another Wii U port,3D World or NSMU perhaps. There will be a few 3rd party reveals with at least 1 or 2 major one's,like we got with Doom and Wolfenstein 2 last year. I don't think they'll talk much about the online but I do think they'll give us a date for when to expect news.They'll also show off some Yoshi and perhaps Bayonetta 3.
@BenAV We've already got alot of smash news, they'll most probably reveal a character or 2 and some other stuff and then get the smash segment over with
@Anti-Matter why don't you try and Google that yourself for once and don't be that annoying lazy guy? People have explained to you how to find the time difference at least a dozen times now...
@Klunk23: My sentiments exactly! ***YAWN*** Would really loved to be wow'd but not feelin it....
@bratzdoll
My wife is really hoping for a Xenoblade X port so you're not alone there. I also keep thinking that Xenoblade Chronicles is going to eventually get an HD remake. If there's a game begging to be brought into the world of HD, it's that game.
Only 35 minutes long...
3DS titles included...
I've got a bad feeling about this...........
@Anti-Matter 5am on the 7th for you I think
About bloody time Nintendo!
@MikeW Rememeber how much they packed into that mini Direct back in March or whenever it was.There was a fair few games announced in that.The way they do Directs now is quick fire with rarely more than 3 minutes spent on a game,35 minutes is plenty time.
@MikeW
I wouldn't be for two reasons. One, I can't imagine the 3DS will have many games to talk about, and two, lately Nintendo Directs (with the exception of the E3 one) have been fast and snappy. Not saying it's going to happen like that, but 35 minutes is plenty of time.
I’ll tune in on it. Might be something that will grab my attention.
Why so late in Europe? Surely bringing it forward an hour, so 6am in Japan, wouldn't damage viewings?
Looks like I've got a late night tomorrow night then. And surely they must talk about Nintendo Online, even if only to mention it is coming and here is a website to find out more.
@MikeW The previous direct had very few 3DS games, I can still see the same happening. They'll just go through the 3DS games and than focus entirely on switch
@hatch They're not going to demote retail Wii U games to digital exclusive status.
@kevin2345 I'd take any RE remake on switch at the moment. Preferably 1-4 though. I played through revelations and still need to get into revelations 2 but i prefer the earlier titles. Heck, I'd take zero even! More zombies more better.
I totally called it! No info about Switch Online. LOL
@nintendobynature I would love to see more Resident Evil games come to the Nintendo switch.
@Nix_coppa They already said they have more details to share nearer the time.They still have to tell us the other 10 NES games and how online play is going to work with them.Plus how often new NES games will be added.So that's the minimum they have to tell us.But there will be more to it for sure,whether it's anything substantial we'll just have to wait and see.
I hope they show a new trailer for Fire Emblem Three Houses!
35 mins seems too long to tell us that by xmas we will still have the awful app to chat and it will only support 2 games plus the Nes classics.
@Nix_coppa
Well it's a little more complicated than that. The online experience is expanding, it's not the same as we've had exactly. I for one would like to know more about how cloud saving is going to work. Is it constantly saving? Does it do it every day? Do we have the option to back it up ourselves? What are the NES games launching with the Online service? They said there were going to be more announced before it launched.
So no, I don't agree that it's a "spoiled kid" mentality. Nintendo has been very quiet on the matter, and we don't exactly know what we're getting, or how things are going to work in practice.
@harouhiko I wonder if maybe Retro Studios has been working on a Metroid Prime trilogy HD release? Why have they been so quiet for so long? The suspense is killing me.
Finally, a broadcast time where I'm at home and can watch in complete relaxation.
@huyi Wait what? They've had two indie showcases in the last month and the last real Direct was at E3. You can't seriously expect any large amount of this to be indies? Where do people get this stuff?! The entire point of the indie showcases is so that indie games don't clog Directs up.
1536271200 in Unix time, in case anyone needed it.
@Tibob
Not happening. But I’m with you, I wish
N64 classic announcenent!
I’m not holding my breath for the online service. If they announce that it’s getting out back to 2019 I won’t be surprised.
@Anti-Matter
Australia minus 2h30
I'll predict:
More Switch Online details
Metroid Prime HD Trilogy for Holiday season (Switch and 3DS), reminder of Metroid Prime 4
Wario Ware spotlight (3DS)
Luigi's Mansion info (3DS)
More on Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey (3DS)
Super Mario Party spotlight, game mode info
New Super Mario Bros and Luigi Bros ported to Switch
Mario Maker Switch port announced
And of course, a few other little sprinkles of smaller games.
WHY IS IT 11PM TOMORROW IN THE UK?
1. New character reveal trailer (we are in September).
2. Luigi Mansion 3DS
3. That awful looking mech game.
4. No More Heroes Whatever
5. Xenoblade 2 DLC
6. Pokemon Let's Go THING.
Cue disappointment.
11pm isn't a completely terrible time, at least its not 2am or something like that. However its apparently 35 mins long which is a good & bad thing.
Maybe this will be a real Direct.
Give me some Wii U ports. I didn't own a Wii U. Zelda TP HD and Star Fox Zero would be nice. To make my day: Animal Crossing for Switch before Q3 starts. And the full info about Online. That's all I ask!
@iammikegaines rumors of drama between them and Nintendo with Nintendo canceling a project they were working on because they didn't like it.
Hope it's decent!
@Captain_Toad Sorry they already de confirmed you.
You're a background character in the New Donk City Hall stage....
I want some “and it’ll be available today” announcements
@Dethmunk There is so much information missing there and a lot of TBA type language (games, deals, and more). Everyone gets the overall vision of it (and many people think that is bad enough with the app) but the details are what matters.
I think people thought that this might be the time Nintendo did online correctly, but many signs point to disappointment.
Nintendo: All online service member can play free Splatoon 2 online !!
One Wii U port I would absolutely welcome with open arms, a glass of Pimms, and a cheeky squeeze of the backside, would be Wii Sports Club - free to all NSO subscribers.
Whoever said it above, a raft of Gamecube ports to the 3DS would keep that little baby rolling for a while yet.
Captain Rainbow on Switch and 3DS complete with new content and even more racy bits.
@Redax
DAEDALUS : The Awakening of Golden Jazz
Lode Runner Legacy
MotoGP 18
V-Rally 4
Ninjala
LEGO DC SUPER-VILLAINS
HAMMER WORLD: DIMENSION TRAVELER
IKARUGA
@LUIGITORNADO How about New super Mario bros u or odyssey dlc or a smash ultimate demo or what about YOSHI FOR SWITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Mgene15 So Do I!
@Redax
https://gematsu.com/2018/07/daedalus-the-awakening-of-golden-jazz-first-details-screenshots
3PM in California and 6PM in NY makes me think this is US focused.
Since it's September I'm expecting:
New New 2DS colors, maybe even a New 3DS theme
Switch and SSBU bundle - US hasn't had ANY bundle news around that game or controllers, they've been waiting for this
TP HD - the only main home Zelda game to only be on 1 console
Yoshi w/ a "Spring 2019" date
MP4 with a 2019 date
Mario Party demo maybe
some new amiibo for some game
XC2 Torna trailer
There will be more than that, just off the top of my head.
Prooooooooooobably a moonshot but... with Dragon Quest XI releasing on PS4/PC just yesterday, anyone get the feeling we might end up at least getting stuff like the remake of Dragon Quest 1-2-3 on Switch/maybe-3DS?
If I recall, those were actually released on PS4 and 3DS in Japan really not long after the release of Dragon Quest XI in Japan last year.
Like said probably a moonshot but the announcement coming so soon after Dragon Quest XI hitting the west(with the Switch still lacking due to the version officially not being out until 2019).... I half wonder if that might not end up being a small stopgap of sort.
"You've played/heard of the latest title in the franchise, now come see where it all began as, and here's something for you, the latest title come to our console on X/X/2019!"
(We also know Dragon Quest Builders 2 releases in Japan on December that year, so maybe it could be a good time for a western announcement.... though I'm not expecting much right away, let alone a western release on December when Smash Bros would be about to release worldwide).
Metroid Prime Trilogy HD Collection 😉
Some explanations of the online service, a little bit of Smash Bros (just a little bit please, like ... maybe a character reveal ? But it's not necessary) but please show a little bit of Metroid Prime 4, even if it's a CGI trailer ...
Still holding my breath (since January!) for that Link's Awakening remake for 3DS that was rumoured.
I want some Animal Crossing thank you
Let's go Warframe release date!!!
I'll even take that madfinger mobile to switch game for my shooting fix. 😅🔫😊
Definitely about online Service, free VC games. And they will sell it with something smashbros related.
we get another new character and storymode will be confirmed.
some new games, and pokemon lets go.
Inb4 a bunch of new games are announced for 3DS but very little new games for Switch.
It will probably just be Mario Party and a bit more Pokémon info. And maybe the Online Service. Then 3DS ports.
@BenAV
Would be perfectly fine for me. Not playing anything else than Smash Ultimate and Rivals of Aether on my Switch after those two are released.
@Regpuppy Mexican time?
i expect lengthy trailers for any games mentioned coming out that will eat up the 35 mins.
Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing! Animal crossing!
@mr12calvin What exactly do you think is Mexican Time?
These are ultra high hopes, but anyone may hope, right?
@HobbitGamer Lol haha
I am living in Mexico currently
I travel a lot and each time I am in another country just want to make sure I have the right time to watch it.
So this direct would be September 6 at 5 PM, right?
New super mario bros wii u for switch
And Call of duty blops4 obviously
Bah, the one time I go in at 5pm CDT instead of leaving work then. Well, guess I hve this to look forward to after shift.
@TJF588 Make sure somebody sends you the link so you wont be spoiled by news articles before you even watch hehe
FINALLY! We're long overdue for a full-length Direct! Plus, I'll be able to tune in on the live chat here since I'll be off work by then (by taking a short lunch). The downside is that it's supposed to be pretty stormy here tomorrow, so hopefully my ISP is up to the challenge....
I refuse to speculate too much in order to keep my expectations in check. XD
@mr12calvin I think Mexico runs on CDT, so yes, kind of. I'm an Indiana resident.
I like how Nintendo leaves the door open for 2018/2019 titles because they just say "upcoming titles." If they were to reveal Sora/Riku for Smash and show Kingdom Hearts 3 is being developed even if it is after PS4/XB, I can die a happy being.
Shin megami tensei please.wont happen.way to soon.but please even a 20 seconde trailer and im happy.
All I really want is something new about Smash, a F-Zero NX if it's ever going to happen (please). If I have to choose some odd ball announcement, I guess I could go with an HD Collection of a series not normally on Nintendo consoles, like Devil May Cry or Metal Gear Solid.
@Cobalt Thought you might want to know some of the games you listed aren't indies. LEGO DC Super Villains is one that isn't.
I cross my fingers because if that thing is correct, I sell my Switch just after the Direct...
Hope it's a big fake !
@Matthew010
You're right
Awesome, I will be full of wine by the time this direct disappoints me! Come on Nintendo, I have hopes and dreams, crush them!
Let’s have some surprises Nintendo!! So jokingly, 35 minutes. 5 for the 3DS and 1/2 hour for the Switch!! 😂
@Cobalt
>Minecraft Guy.
yeah, i doubt that. just like i'm doubting that will see Banjo & Kazooie in smash.
I really hope they haven't dedicated 50% of it to Smash Bros...
I'm not expecting too much. Being realistic, I just want to see the rest of the boards for Super Mario Party. I also wouldn't mind that New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe rumor being true as I skipped U on the Wii U, but I wouldn't say I need it or anything.
My unrealistic hopes and dreams? Animal Crossing for Switch, an old-school style Paper Mario, Mario Golf, Mario Strikers, more on Metroid Prime 4, Pokemon 8th gen, GameCube games for the Switch... but we'll probably get none of that lol.
@mr12calvin I mean, I guess it depends on where in Mexico you are.
I'm always down for third party ports. GTA V and Fallout 3 seem inevitable at this point. A BioShock trilogy would be awesome, I would have no problem double dipping on those games.
NSMBU Deluxe also seems inevitable. I'd be willing to double dip if it added enough extra content(Odyssey levels please).
As always I'm keeping my expectations realistic, but I'm always hyped for a Direct regardless.
There better be something about Switch Online. I'm still gonna get it but that doesn't mean that I don't care about what I'm buying! We need more info!
@Frendo In all fairness, folks can just use the Ignore feature. He hasn't done anything that warrants a spanking. He just simply doesn't share a major view.
Don't care about online or 3ds stuff ... Just mention Metroid, F-ZERO, Starfox, Mario Kart stuff, Zelda stuff and some new ips

New Super Mario Bros. rereleases/ports
Nintendo Switch Online date/details
3DS Wishes/Predictions:
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remaster
Mother 3???
Whatever happens will happen. If we get details, we'll get details. If the Switch's Online Service gets its own direct, it'll get its own Direct. We might see the rumors of that Wii U Title being brought to Switch come to fruition.
Besides, I just got myself a Switch, and am ready to fork over whatever money I'm willing to for the Online Service.
i hope that they are going to focus on the online for a little bit and explain some more because a lot of people are angry that rom sites have been shutdown...
I'm not expecting any huge announcements. I think the main job of the Direct is to sell the fall lineup. I expect a lot of time dedicated to Super Mario Party and Luigi's Mansion.
I think both Pokemon and Smash will be (mainly) left to their own Directs but may feature here.
Regarding Online, I kinda think they might put out all the info later. Perhaps an online-only Direct next week? Either way, I expect online to be basically what we have now but for a fee. There's been no indication of anything else.
I don't expect Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, Virtual Console, N64 Classic or Mother 3 to be shown.
People keep saying they want NSMBU DX, but why not hope for a new 2D Mario? I want a new one with hand drawn graphics similar to Rayman and more creative worlds (no more boring grass, jungle, beach, mountain, swamp, lava, etc). Something like Odyssey I’m terms of ambition. The NSMB games were so bland. Good riddance, in my opinion.
@JamesR hype train derailed...
3DS? Zzzzzz.......
I wish they would show something like Rune Factory 5, or remakes of previous games for the switch. And Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum remasters for both switch and 3DS.
I know that it will most likely never happen, but I can wish...
I’m hoping for a new f zero and Mario strikers hd
After the Saints row reveal, I think Rockstar will announce GTA 4 or 5, out before the end of the year.
@Knightkrawler14 Actually hoping on a sequal rather than a port.
This game musnt be so hard to make
Assassin's creed,GTA and bioshock collection are some of the games I want.
Animal crossing news would be fantastic!
I would love to see perhaps an old Zelda game coming to switch, I have never had the pleasure of playing Skyward Sword so that would be awesome after playing windwaker for the first time on Wii U and buying the special edition of Twilight Princess for that too... gotta love classic Zelda
@HobbitGamer Oh yes ofcourse. Mexico City.
Sweet! Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the good ol' 3DS. I'm still hoping for that rumored Link's Awakening remake! =D
Nintendo and Illumination Present: Super Mario Bros. - a Steven Spielberg film.
That's what I want to see tomorrow...
@Moshugan @Tibob @Matthew010
Omg... !
7 September 2018 at 5.00 a.m. ?!
I must wake up at 4.00 a.m. to prepare my lunch box for my lunch time at my school & watch the direct while having breakfast at 5.00 a.m. before i leave from my house at 6.00 a.m. to go to my working place, school.
Said it before and I'll say it again until it's finally released. Hoping a switch release 'available now' will be Save Me Mr Tako! It's been well over a year since its reveal and it keeps getting delayed. I keep seeing the developers Twitter account promoting it non stop and he mentioned not long ago, should be ready really soon. Let's hope that soon is tomorrow! 🤗
Please no more Smash.
Star fox zero port to the 3ds, nsmb trilogy with wii hd, U and luigi U. Miiverse and snes games for the online. Streaming apps like netflix. Folders and new backgrounds for switch. Web browser. Also release date for yoshi switch.
@Frendo Just hit Ignore under a person’s post or comment, and you will never see what they write again. Then you don’t have to worry so much about what a random stranger on the internet says...
Cool, Nintendo Direct on my b-day. Really hoping for something final fantasy but we shall see.
Cool. Can’t wait
AAAHH
4 directs in the past one month
my GOD
I am optimistic that third party support will be boosted again the further we get into Switch world domination. Hopefully Konami will have something to show off. As well as Rockstar and Activision.
Let's go Link's Awakening 3DS, New Super Mario Bros All-Stars, Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy Collection, Castlevania Collection... We'll see if any of these rumors that pop up hold water. :3
I would hope that this direct would keep the whiners quiet, but I doubt that will happen.
Just no more Smash Bros. Please - some of us just don't care about it.
Metroid Trilogy HD as part of Online and you win my heart. Another new first-party 3D Platforming Adventure and you get most of the rest on me
NSMB DX should be announced at this Direct.
@Frendo
Anti-matter??????
@ilikeike don't forget the smash news that will appear.
@MushHill_Act1-1 I know, it's like a gate of games. Yet somehow 'Switch has no games'?
I'm going to be spoiled with direct information and clips at this pace.
@Frendo I agree with you as I find anti-matter annoying but not the point to ignore his comments. He's weird on the border though. But the Guinness record go to Sliggy. He was useless to this website, to us and to Nintendo itself.
@Anti-Matter Google?
@Cobalt How much you want for your Switch? As reading you, you regret your buying.
So Incineroar is gonna be announced for Smash, right? My gosh, I'm not fond of that Pokemon...
Hope it isn't a half hour of nothing.
@edgedino Of course! I'm hoping that we'll finally get a look at the new secret mode. Subspace Emissary 2 maybe?
I want Pikmin 4...it is long overdue.
@0muros said "How much you want for your Switch? As reading you, you regret your buying."
I don't regret it... I just said IF the leak of the Direct is not a fake, I'll sell my Switch... I'll probably buy a new one in some years then when the catalogue will be more interesting with several real Switch exclusives.
For the price, around 200 Euros I guess.
I just remembered Spyro. It would be great to have that.
Please tell me we have better free games in the online services than the same NES games we’ve played a million times.....
@Cobalt But you keep saying you want to sell your Switch all the time. Why? You seems to be the only one with R.I.P Sliggy to be negative.
@exopiscea Me too but hopefully Capcom will listen to die hard Resident Evil fans like us to bring this over to the switch.
Am I the only one who doesn’t care to hear about the online service? I feel like we know what we’re getting just not when we’re getting it. If I hear more about Smash I may pull out hair. It’s already preordered. Again, I think we have a pretty good idea of what we’re getting.
@subpopz I don't think they'll show any more of Smash, with one exception--a character reveal to close the Direct.
@0muros Could you quote me please ? I would like to know when I said that except at this moment. Thanx.
I know that it will not happen but Smash Ultimate for 3DS.
Ports ports ports. Yawn.
@0muros The thing that is funny to me is that the GoNintendo forum topic which @Frendo linked was obviously created a few days ago by someone who'd had enough of Sliggy over there, and less than a day later the mods were obviously in agreement, because his account was suspended. His shtick had gotten worse than it was while he was still here, adding, among other things, complaining out loud when he wasn't thanked by name for the things he sent in. He had some very harsh words for the people here at NintendoLife, which I'm sure will cause all of them to lose exactly no sleep whatsoever. I kinda want to know where he ends up. And I definitely feel sorry for wherever it is.
@EvilRegal I would kill for a Links Awakening 3DS remake
Here we go again with the Wish lists and the future disappointments and anger in each Nintendo Direct.
Well, just have to wait for the announcements and what will be the surprises and notices for what's coming.
Here it is boys the game changer! Chrono Trigger 2, new Castlevania, Final Fantasy 7 , GTA 6, Cyberpunk 2077, new Mother game, {{insert another unrealistic fantasy game here}}. Sorry but i couldn't help myself:))
I will make sure to make am extra pot of coffee for then..😊
Cool, and I'm off work tomorrow too. Well, it's not late September, so I'm guessing it's too soon to know about NSO. Patience, then...
@Cobalt You said many time "I'll put my NX in the box for an another 6 months". And "The Switch market is so dry because there's no AAA exclusive as enough for me. Unsatisfying reality.
@0muros
Someone had told me it will be 7 September 2018 at 5 a.m.
Gosh...!
In the morning.
I must wake up at 4 a.m. to prepare something important for my working place (my lunch box) before i watch the Direct.
Nintendo Online? More like Noneline! (As in no-online).
@Cobalt
Btw, did you play any Switch games lately ?
Because i enjoy every single my Switch games purchashes that bought with my money from my salary.
I have 23 physical Switch games right now without 3rd party AAA games. (I considered Portal Knights as my AAA games due to my huge Hype for that game. I gave it score 9 from 10 after the latest update).
@0muros
I asked you to quote me ON "Me saying that I'm gonna sell my Switch, except this time if the leak of the Direct is true". Thanx.
@Anti-Matter
The games that I played on my Switch this year are :
Mario Tennis Aces
Octopath Traveler
Owlboy
@Anti-Matter you bought 23 games with your own money from your salary. I’m so proud of you. We’re all so proud of you 😉
F-Zero for 3DS
@ilikeike more likely to have a dif name since we destroyed the true boss of that. but I could look forward to some new character reveals or if they actually improved the stage builder.
My completely reasonable predictions include...
-Pichu and K. Rool amiibo unveiling. (Might actually happen)
-Gardevoir and Gothitelle revealed for Smash (Best rumor)
-Pikmin 4 is even more almost ready, new hero get pre-release amiibo unveiling
-Drill Dozer 2 with Jill amiibo
-Paper Luigi: The Marvelous Compass with Partner Amiibo
-A Classic mini with games from all 3 Game Boys
-Star Fox Racing with Slippy, Peppy, and Krystal amiibo
-Pokemon Let's Go comes with new Pikachu and Eevee amiibo
-Super Mario Party can add any character with an amiibo to the game as a new playable character.
This will all totally happen, I'm sure.
I honestly just wish the 3DS would die so that they could release a successor. The screen is decidedly low-res, the CPU is ancient, and the form factor is terrible for hands my size. (The old AGB was PERFECT.)
I'd just be happy with a Switch Mini that was half the size of the current model, with fixed controls designed for single player, and that was more portable than the existing console. What more does anyone need?
I've tried many times over the years to like it by purchasing the XL and even the 2DS but I just can't stand the screen and poor hand fit. C'mon, Nintendo, stop dragging your feet and release new portable hardware.
Please something bad so i can rest my wallet
Oof, over 250 responses. Can anyone tell how desperate our community was getting? Lol
My prediction: Daikatana 2
I'm all about that rygar remake from nes or a new one. Also gimme some turtles in time. While we're at it, and I may be in the minority, but toss in some sunset riders or a remake.. You owe me that Nintendo. Lastly, all the 'here come the wishlist' comments should just end, that's the point of a 'pre-direct' have fun and toss some wild predictions out there for all to enjoy.
Ive literally been following the comment section all day.
I need something exciting.
@LArachelDisciple I like the amiibo predictions, especially Jill. I'd love to see Daisy's Smash amiibo unveiled as well, and while I'm thinking about it, how about Daisy, Peach, and Rosalina Mario Kart bike outfit amiibo too?
@mr12calvin
I have something for you : A new Ridge Racer.
Cool, I can actually catch this in time.
@Cobalt Really?
Not sure if thats something for me, but will see
@mr12calvin
Apparently, there is a new Ridge Racer and something with Megaman too... I mean something else than Megaman 11.
Some speak about a kind of cross over, others about a Megaman X related stuff...
Dunno if we'll see that during the Direct or later but that's something I heard of since several months already.
I'll be at work. Sigh...
NO. MORE. PORTS. What a waste of money. Yoshi info please.
@Cobalt Are you sure you didn't hear this from some random internet user? The internet can't be trusted sometimes and it's either clickbait or just rumors spread by trolls.
@Andymad They can only be a waste of money if you're buying them for no reason. You're allowed not to do that.
@PanurgeJr Very true... it’s just hard to be so excited about a new system when there are ports considered as “big releases”. But I get it. I still bought MK8 and Captain Toad and enjoyed them the same. But it’s like, k, we get it. But this is why I buy them. On the Go, ya know?
Please NO more Smash.
@Cobalt A new Ridge Racer would be fatastic. A new X will be made if 11 sells well.
And the Direct has been delayed to an unknown date due to an earthquake in Japan.
@Yoshi For real?
@Toadie I just bought my new 3ds XL, waiting for it to arribe. I'd really love more great Mario ports from Gamecube or N64.
@msvt I'd love that ☺️
@jmbenetti Hi, awesome, i'm sure you will love it ! is it your very first 3DS or are you just upgrading it ?
My very first. The only Nintendo console I own today is the SNES mini and I've ordered the 3ds SNES edition too. 😊
@jmbenetti Then you are in for a real treat ! it's one of the best systems ever in my opinion, what games are you getting alongside it ?
@Cobalt Somewhere in your 800 and more comments... Sorry if I don't have the time and the will to read them all... Nothing personal. I apologize...
@Toadie I'm planning to get digitals. I'm hoping to get Captain Toad and Super Mario 3D Land for sure. Any recomendations?
@jmbenetti Both great games !
Wow i don't even know where to start, the system has so many amazing games, these would be some of my picks -
Luigi's Mansion 2 - amazing game, one of the most impressive 3DS games
Metroid:Samus Returns - Metroid's my fave series ever so i had to include it lol
New Super Mario Bros.2 - i'm not that keen on the 'New' series but this one surprised me, it's a lot of fun
Hey! Pikmin - This only received luke-warm reviews but i really enjoyed it, it transitions the Pikmin formula into 2D really cleverly.
Skylanders:Spyro's Adventure - A complete hidden gem, the 3DS version of this game is a fantastic little game.
Kid Icarus Uprising
Pokemon X/Y
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Kirby Triple Deluxe/Planet Robobot (the 3DS Kirby's are some of his finest games)
Castlevania:Mirror of Fate
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Shinobi
Yoshi's Woolly World
Sonic Generations
Yokai Watch
Pilotwings Resort
Plus any/all of the Fire Emblem and Ace Attorney games
E-shop games i'd recommend -
Jett Rocket 2
Mario Vs DK:Mini's on the Move
Dillon's Rolling Western
Kirby's Blowout Blast
The Denpa Men
Ironfall Invasion
Bloo Kid 2
Steamworld Dig
The Starship Damrey
Speedthru
Tank Troopers
Gunman Clive 1/2
Gurumin 3D
Sorry, went a bit mad there with my list lol but they are all worth thinking about, soooo many good games on the system, and that's without the amazing remakes like the Zelda's, Starfox 64, Dragon Quest 7 and 8 etc
@Toadie Wow, that's a really nice list! I've already read about most of them, but you named some titles I need to check too, as they are new to me. Thanks a lot! 😊
@jmbenetti No problem, hope you get as much enjoyment out of the system as i have, just tag me again if you ever want more recommendations or just want to chat haha
@Toadie Thanks, my friend! I mostly play on PS4 today, but I had Nintendo consoles as a kid and I really miss the good Mario games. In my country (Argentina) electronics are really expensive and I've been doubting between a 3ds and a Switch, but the price and the catalog of the 3ds really got me.
@Frendo I totally agree, the attention seekers in this site are known to publicly express their hate/criticism/weirdness are known and can be counted easily, some of them are just messed up people that can feel they are popular on comment secrions because they were abused in their real social life, some of them are just negative people with honest inside feelings towards the brand, aome of then are just paid and doing their job to share the hate or attract new comers to other brands, some of them are plain psychos that had unsuccessful real social life and they just show their lack of proper clean contact and mutual respect...
I think moderator should take these people out if it's something that keeps annoying a group of people, better lose one than lose many faithful members of this site, and show they are doing a nice job "moderating" BUT the real question is, do you know why they don't clean the weed? They want the front yard to look green either it's all nice herbs or weed that sucks the life of the other plants and roses, hope the analogy is clear (sorry for my poor english as well) but long story short their job is to keep the comment secrion alive, more traffic, more income, but honestly i think it's just stupid to let the comment section alive when you are risking the loss of many faithful positive members for the sake of the "odd" ones
@1UP_MARIO lol that was shocking for me as well, nice one 😆👍
The new ND date is very likely September 13th
