I'm picturing Fallout 4 with some Samus amiibo armor and it's just... man, what a ridiculous idea. I'd probably buy it just for the novelty.
 
Prediction Time!!

-This one will follow the exact same format as the Splatoon/Arms/Switch/3DS Direct. Koizumi hosting a very fast-paced Direct that goes through a list of headlines. The Mario Odyssey segment is saved for last.

3DS Segment is first.

-Some last-minute details on Metroid Samus Returns
-An actual description of what the hell Ultra Sun/Moon is
-Some details on the Kirby game that is coming.
-A few smaller indie games coming soon

Switch Segment is next.


-OS Update, finally! Streaming apps coming soon (they'll want to do this in time for the holidays). eShop gets a mild overhaul. Still no word on Virtual Console or the online service.
-We get to see a much more in-depth look at Zelda's second DLC.
-More brief tidbits on 2017 games: FE Warriors, Xenoblade 2, maybe a little something about Skyrim or L.A. Noire.
-New Joy-con or Pro Controller design. Mario Odyssey-themed?
-Some indies we didn't see in the indie direct get release dates. (At least one of either Yooka-Laylee, Stardew Valley, or Hollow Knight)
-Teaser update for either Kirby or Yoshi, but not both. We finally learn the title of the game. Positioned as a February release.

The rest of the Direct will be pure, unadulterated Odyssey goodness.
 
FO4 on Switch has been a heavily circulated rumor recently. IIRC there's a retail listing for it somewhere and Jason Schreier implied that Bethesda's next announcement is going to be a port.

Which is part of why I'm a little skeptical of this rumor despite its plausibility. It's too safe.

Wasn't one of those listings confirmed to be fake, or an error? Something about the pricing or the fact that there was a discount before it even launched was a red flag?

I could see it being true but I'm secretly hoping it's DOOM instead.
 
My main hope is a release date for XC 2, anything else is a bonus.

4chan post is hard to believe for Fallout 4 alone. I agree with GAF speculation that Bethesda wants to see how Skyrim sells before investing resources in another big Switch port.

Huh, when did the Mask Magician from Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed become Asian?
 
Because of the timing, I wonder if any of Capcom's supposed "Rockman 30th anniversary" things will pop up here, ahead of TGS

Can I at least get a Zero/ZX Collection for Switch?
 
One thing I 100% expect from this is some hype for Samus Returns and some tid bits of info regarding Prime 4 (like 30 seconds of info)

Also Zelda DLC is a super safe bet and so is Rocket Leauge, Fallout 4 I could also see

Probably not, but a man can dream
 
WINONA RYDER: Good evening, I am Winona Ryder.

DAVID DUCHOVNY: And I'm David Duchovny.

BOTH: And welcome to Nintendo Direct.

[the title montage begins and the classic theme music of over 25 years of Nintendo plays us into our comfortable night in.]

ME, VIEWING FROM A PRISON TELEVISION: bring back the muppets you cowards
 
You know what game I would absloutly love on Switch?

That yugioh Legacy of the Dualist game. Have it on steam but portable Yugioh? That would be sweet.

Hoping we see konami on Switch again after Bomberman R (which was good)
 
someone the other day in the bayo+vanquish thread said that Bayo 1+2 was coming to Switch and that it would be announced in a Direct on Wednesday

Dare I hope
 
Nice nice! Gonna miss this one unfortunately, I won't stay up till one o' clock in the morning. Will go on media blackout until I can watch it sixteen hours later. I don't want to spoil me the surprises, be they good or bad.

Skyrim release date please (mods!)
Xenoblade 2 release date please
Metroid Prime 4 teaser or short trailer please
 
Jesus. There are some huge expectations in this thread! I mean I hope one or two of them come to fruition in time but I'm keeping my expectations firmly in check to avoid disappointment.

My head would fall off if Doom (2016) does get announced though.

Exactly what I'm expecting.
 
Ah, of course the Direct is this Wednesday evening EDT... It's the only Wednesday I am working a closing shift at my job in months.
 
There's no way that leak is true since it doesn't talk about any Japanese third party games.

It's week away from TGS, there has to be Japanese third party games in this direct.
 
45 minute Direct? Yes please! Also glad that there's no mobile stuff in there.

My predictions:

  • Super Mario Odyssey will take up 7-10 minutes
  • Short trailer for Metroid: Samus Returns
  • Trailer for Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon (new Alolan formes, more on the new formes of Solgaleo/Lunala)
  • ARMS/Splatoon 2 Updates
  • Zelda DLC 2 trailer + release date
  • Short Pokken Tournament DX trailer
  • Fire Emblem Warriors trailer
  • Xenoblade 2 trailer + release date
  • Switch OS stuff (mostly just for multimedia apps, but I could see some general updates being detailed too)
  • 3rd party stuff: Skyrim release date, Payday 2 release date, Rocket League release date, Stardew Valley release date, features on various 3rd parties/indies (sports titles, LA Noire, RE Revelations, Octopath Traveler, Yooka-Laylee, Hollow Knight, etc.)
  • Dragon Quest XI Switch official reveal
  • New footage for Yoshi Switch
  • New footage for Kirby Switch
  • First look at Fire Emblem Switch

My wants, hopes, and dreams:

  • Bayonetta 2 Switch port
  • Switch Tales game
  • Dark Souls III Switch port
  • Resident Evil 4 and/or 7 Switch port(s)
  • SMT Switch
  • Smash 4 Switch
  • Metroid Prime 4 (please?)
 
Maybe they only leaked the Switch stuff because they know nobody cares about the 3DS anymore

It's very likely just fake. Nintendo has never once had a worldwide Direct where they don't announce a new game, and I don't think Fallout 4 would be a Nintendo published game.
