Ah thank you, this is a dream game of mine.
VB VC would have been a cool thing to do when the 3DS when new and the 3DS aspect was still novel. At this point, seems like a thing they can no longer do properly outside of 3DS, and too late to be worth working out an emulator for that system if they haven't already done it.
Though Wario Land VB is a pretty cool game, and would be worth seeing reworked version.
YOU LET IT GO
FTFY
My predictions:
Switch price cut to $149.99
Splatoon 2 out tomorrow
ARMS out tomorrow
Nintendo announces acquisition of Sonic The Hedgehog franchise
Super Smash Bros for Switch out July
Rockstar bought out by Nintendo, Red Dead coming to Switch and cancelled on everything else
Minecraft 2 Switch exclusive
10 minutes of Reggie nudes
Xenoblade 2 is actually releasing this year
Nintendo bought out by Sega
New Metroid
New Star Fox that isn't a remake
The Wonderful 102 and Bayonetta 3 announced, Switch exclusives
Still no virtual console or browser
Direct closes with The Elder Scrolls VI being announced as Switch exclusive

Pokemon is bigger than some Splatoon ND or even E3. A new Pokemon reveal would get its own Pokemon Direct.

Most of us aren't actually expecting more than ARMS and Splatoon 2, just a few little surprises would be nice.

Don't think so. It's own trailer or video released by TPC but not a Direct.

I'd like some news on Miitopia and a sneak peek at the Animal Crossing mobile title.
I figure either isn't terribly out there.
It was believable up until this point.
This star is moving rather fast, its starting to experience length contraction!

He texted me an eggplant emoji, what could that mean?

I'm currently hiding in Kimishima's trash can. He said "WarioWare Amiibo Mania is gonna be a Smash hit."

Lol @ Splarms. Friggin' hype for both and honestly I would just like to know the release dates for them. Probably some single player details for both would be excellent as well. As for new game announcements, keeping my expectations in check but any new game for 3DS or Switch would be dope. BotW DLC footage, future firmware updates, Virtual Console support would be really cool also.

Is there a way to watch this on my switch? Playing zelda now anyway and it seems appropriate

NintenDaan just tweeted that the logo is new, has anyone brought this up?
Gamexplain made a 30-min video about it.

Just you wait. They'll shock everyone by announcing a new Metroid Prime sequel!
Of course by that I mean a Metroid Prime Federation Force sequel.

That was the condensed version, you missed the 110 minute version.

Indie sizzle reel incoming.
That would be a legit response from Reggie at this point.
I'm not expecting much because it's pre-E3 and they've already said it's mainly about Arms and Splatoon 2 (good, but no surprises there) and the 3DS (don't care).
Heck, I'm not expecting much for E3 even. Last time I checked Nintendo have only had 2 actually good E3 presentations in the past 10 years, i.e. presentations with a good amount of content and good pacing: E3 2006 (Wii blow-out) and E3 2010 (end-of-life Nintendo franchise extravaganza on Wii + big 3DS reveal with additional content online).
When Nintendo goes all-out, they crush everyone else. But most of the time you get way less than what you expect. Besides, they tend not to show much beyond the next 12 months. Best to temper your expectations, boiz.
[EDIT] What I do expect is a fair amount of details - and, in traditional Nintendo fashion, even more questions - about the online service. Both Arms and Splatoon have online multiplayer, and MK8 comes out in a couple weeks, after all.

Ah yes. The spinoff. The spinoff of Metroid. The spinoff chosen specially for the Metroid franchise. Metroid's spinoff. That spinoff?
He ain't got no arms!
