A shame Minecraft leaked. I initially assumed that would be the Tantalus game based on their comments... but the length of time it was taking made me start to doubt. It would have been a surprise for a sudden announcement in the Direct (hopefully we can expect some decent Nintendo based content to be included).

With this and Twilight Princess leaking I'm not expecting much else...although a Pikmin 4 trailer would be nice.....and I still keep hoping for Endless Ocean 3 on Wii U, given how perfect the Gamepad would be for replicating the camera in that franchise.

So, is everybody ready for:

• Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
• Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival
• Metroid Prime: Federation Force
• Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics?

You know they are coming, so don't complain about it, ok?

I'm going to temper my expectations using this list. If we get one surprise on top of these... I'll be happy.

It would be sad that the Wii U version of Minecraft, singe-handedly the most popular video game that has solid sales across a multitude of gaming platforms, fails to make anything with the Wii U version.

Ken is announced for Smash after the ballot entries were lost. Splatoon is going free to play start. Star Fox is cancelled in favor of Star Tropics, which is then cancelled in favor of Tropical Freeze 3D. The vitality sensor is brought back as a confusing response to virtual reality. Mario is Missing HD is going to be a launch title for the NX with geocaching playing a big role. Where did somebody leave their Maro amiibo? It's up to you and your Luigi amiibo to find out.

All hope that the hype could be contained are gone now.

 

[Frodo]

My realistic predictions:

It will be pretty standard Nintendo Direct. They will go on and on and on about a newcomer on Smash, they will talk about 3DS's free to play games and boooooring and stuff, and then they will go: One more thing: NX out now to pre-order on your favourite website and on Nintendo.com. One mobile unit, one home console, both more powerful than a PS4 and 4 Gamecubes taped together. $299, out November 17th.

Mark my words.

 

[Omzz]

Seeing no Iwata at the start is going to make me so sad

 

[Frodo]

Seeing no Iwata at the start is going to make me so sad

I honestly hope they acknowledge the Directs started because of him, and would be nice to see some tribute in any form.

 

[Not75Drops]

So there'll be Pokken info at the very least since Mystery Dungeon is already out in Japan.

Minecraft's pretty much confirmed to be in this right? That debunks most if not all "leaks"

 

[Litri]

Anyone has a clue as to how long it is going to be?

Won't know until the final hour

Nothing is confirmed to be in this. That rating doesn't mean it'll be in this

All "leaks" are debunked because Nintendo Directs don't leak

 

[RedColumn]

Not sure if this was posted yet

We will see then Smash for sure. I have to say, about the videos, that the spanish version is still working and the last two videos... well... it was just Mii Fighter Outfits
http://www.smashbros.com/es/movielist/

...but I doubt Sakurai tweet about the direct just because some outfits.

I think, Wolf will be delay until Star Fox Zero launch (it was too late to delay the falco amiibo = advertising for the new game) If they want free advertising for Star Fox Zero, they will have it with Wolf, but in February or whenever this games comes, and keep Smash alive for longer.
I see more a new character (Shovel Knight?) and a returning one that we don't expect... Ice Climbers! (ready for Winter! ) I dont see any of the other left returning (Snake, Pichu, Squirtle, Ivysaur or Young Link).
Apart of this, more outfits are always there, and probably resutls or part results of the Smash Ballot. Ah! And two Stages: returning Icicle Mountain and something for Shovel Knight... or better, mix of best Indies of Wii U / 3DS

If pokemon Z is announced I hope there will ne some new pokemon in it since every legendary is already in ORAS

 

[GasProblem]

I know its a pipe dream but I hope Pokemon Z had an improved engine. Battles are fine, but the performance on the overworld is pretty bad.

 

[Dr. Buni]

I hope there will be no new Pokémon because there are over 700 Pokémon already More isn't always the merrier.
