Breath of the Wild only got a release date less than two months before it came out. Xenoblade 2 will be similar if it makes December. ARMS as mentioned above...
Kimishima's Nintendo has been really tight-lipped in general actually...
I would bet that's what they're saving Kirby 3DS for. Maybe alongside Xenoblade.

Fire Emblem 2018 reveal trailer maybe?
Some actual Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon details?
More characters for Fire Emblem Warriors (who arent from Awakening or fates)?
Showing a bit of the mushroom kingdom in Mario Oddessy as well as maybe hinting at luigi's involvement?
3DS localization annoucements of SMT Deep Strange Journey, Radiant Historia Redux, Dragon Quest XI?
Virtual Console details finally?
I'd like to have fairly realistic expectations for this. We arent gonna get any switch pokemon details, probably not a big game like animal crossing switch getting announced, or anything metroid prime related (unless it's for an HD collection of them).

Hope so because then it means there's an insane amount of announcements to be made.
This, haha.

Oh god if they announce any sort of proper updates to the OS UI, I will die. Cannot believe I forgot to include that on my wishlist.

Yep. Just like the Indies Showcase follows the same format. I think the April Direct will be the standard for the Nintendo Directs. 45 minutes of back to back! Insane!
Two Other Ocean/Digital Eclipse guys are excited "for some reason".... Hmm.....
Expecting Mega Man Collection ports, or Disney Afternoon Collection Ports.... Or Street Fighter Collection? Please?
"Excited too"
"For some reason"

That'd be nice, but it's Capcom, so I won't get my hopes up. Love Mike Mika though, so I hope his team has something coming.

Any fucking chance of seiing Retro 's new Donkey Kong game!?
Lots of people will be disappointed when they reveal the XC2 date
Disappointed they won't be able to spend time with their family on Christmas day because they'll be too busy playing the game.

It'll be their new Pilot Wings Utopia game and you will like it.

All of the people expecting it to be 2018, right?

I doubt anything by Retro will be there, seems more an E3 thing.

If you're on the same time zone as Germany and France, it's midnight for you.
If you're more like Latvia or Estonia, then 1 hour past, yes.

Some People talk like they want it to be delayed because they still don't believe Nintendos initial 2017 date.Lots of people will be disappointed when they reveal the XC2 date

All I need is the Stardew Valley release date!

I don't think we will see any Smash announcement this time. Some people speculated we might see it at Nintendo World Championship 2017 or E3 2018.
You want an enhanced port of a three year old game? What have they done in these three years? Surely more than just working on an enhanced port. I refuse to believe that they're not working on a new project.

The stances are so weird about XB2. Someone in this thread said it's still slated for 2017, then some people teased about it being 2018 (delayed). I'm okay with it being delayed, at long the game is going to be so good.

Well the last time they did that they also gave at least 10 minutes to ARMS and Splatoon 2. So one assumes Mario Odyssey will have a bit of a spotlight.
Fire Emblem certainly strikes me as more likely than MP4 or Pokemon related, although I imagine there will be at least some 2018 stuff shown.

Fire Emblem Switch, and SMT seem like 2018 reveals to me.
While I'm positive Sakurai's working on a new project, I really doubt it's Smash 5. I don't expect to see that for a long time yet.

I really hope they don't show Fire Emblem. I'm tired of seeing that franchise. Show LM3 or AC or some other new first party IP.

really hope they talk about their paid online service and classic game details. But I've come to take these things at face value and assume this won't be talked about at all.
Well Fire Emblem comes out next year so the game could very well be shown.

Or during the EVO Japan event in January. Normally they wouldn't care but it's in Japan this time.
Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS ended development in February 2016. Thats not 3 years ago. Also, who is "they"? There is no super smash bros. team, we don't know for sure who is even making the next one.
