The hype killer for E3 is when we found out Nintendo's presentation was going to be around half hour. Lots of people were thinking we wouldn't see much.

A few fake 4chan leaks and a game categorization on the youtube stream for Smash Bros. that may or may not have been automatic tagging.

There's no insider rumors on anything Platinum, right?
I saw Nate Drake mention "congrats on predicting something that's been teased" in relation to them, but I'm not sure if he was saying that with any inside information.
We do know they're doing something for Switch, a bit bummed that their good stuff was like the first two years of Wii U and there hasn't been much in terms of partnership/collaborations since outside of star fox which was always meant to be a small year long dev cycle project.
I think Bayonetta 2 would've done super well year 1 while things were slow. Maybe near the amiibo release. Hopefully they can benefit from switch's acceptable installbase and Bayo in Smash boost. Also for Nintendo to work with them on something original.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Have you all discussed the gamexplain predictions?
The guys stated that they had heard rumblings of multiple third party Switch games coming, and later talked about Phantom Pain, Dragon Ball Fighterz, Fallout 4, and Final Fantasy (15?) possibly coming to Switch. They also mentioned RDR and GTAV, but those seemed like strictly speculation based off of L.A. Noire coming.
Maybe these are completely off-base, but it is pretty insane that there is even a possiblity of such AAA third-party titles coming to a Nintendo platform. I would have never believed such a turn of events this time last year.

Fighterz is likely, but I'm pretty sure they said it wouldn't come until the other versions are done.
It seems like games that they speculated could come to Switch. There's that Bethesda game that's supposed to come out soon which could be fall out. Phantom Pain would be cool, I guess. They've been working with Konami a lot lately so it's possible. Would've thought survive first, tho.
Well it's confirmed for TGS, so at worst it's only a week or so away.
All of that was purely fun speculation on their part and not rumors or insider knowledge.

Mario Paint 2
But we know it'll be at TGS. It's probably going to be in the Japanese direct too, but hopefully not taking up much time when TGS will have a lot for it.

So is this the "Fall Direct" or nah? Technically it's still summer
It would make sense to start seeing third party support announcements. Most third parties didn't want to support it until they saw if it was a success or not. It's looking increasingly likely that not only is it s success but most third party games have exceeded expectations in terms of sales (Bomberman, SF2, Disgea 5 etc) I reckon we will see a few ports announced, L.A. Noire will obvs be shown but wouldn't be surprised with Final Fantasy XV or Fallout or a Dark Souls game or collection. We will see.
Bayonetta 2 was announced during a Pre-launch Wii U Live Direct in September.
Think of it more pre-TGS. They usually do something like this around this time every year.

It's just a Direct. We won't see one again until December is my guess.
They could have one every month until Dec. Who knows.
So essentially a fall direct?
Also, does anyone have a timer for how much longer? OP doesn't have one...

I'm setting expectations right around the level of that fake leak. It's so basic that they can't go lower than that, so I'll be happy if they top it.

45 minutes of a Direct for one new Switch game? Yeah I'm expecting atleast 2 new Switch games (be it ports or brand new games).
lmao

I'll be satisfied if we even just get ports of games that can run or makes sense for the Switch, tbh.
I think its more a question of the caliber of the announcements. Even the "ARMS/Splatoon 2" Direct in April contained quite a few announcements, as in this summary by Dark Cloud:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=248587196&postcount=878
Japan defines their seasons a little differently, that said, Nintendo will probably call this their half year direct like they did last year.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I'm pretty sure an Uncharted x Zelda crossover is getting announced.
That's an interesting response considering I haven't said a single thing about the Direct or the possible contents of it on GAF.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I relistened to that portion of the discussion. Roger says he and Andre have heard rumblings of third party titles, but they don't know any specifics(?). So yeah sounds like strictly speculation.

Nate is legit, but him mentioning something does in no way shape or form confirm anything in this instance.

There is really only one third party port I truly desire to be announced in this Direct.
Dark Souls 1
Please.

Please.
It is for the 13th in the US.
You're free to believe whatever you want, I just want to make it clear that he has never been a verified insider supported by the moderation team, and we have banned him before for inaccurate claims after the Switch was revealed. Maybe he knows stuff, maybe he doesn't, it's between him and God.
almost half of their presentation was 2018 games, so it's not really an exaggeration.
but you're been weirdly sarcastic or something this thread....so I'm not even sure what you're going for

Between him and God? 🤔
If so they will probably be single game directs apart from a possible December / January Direct
But this could totally be seen as their usual pre TGS fall direct imho
Well we'll probably have a solo one for Xenoblade 2. This might be it for Mario, maybe they'll announce the season pass this week. Have they announced a FE Musou season pass yet? Kinda wish they announced a second season pass for Zelda too.
Ya'll refused to verify me way back when...
feelsbadman
They'll remember all the missses... Just "leak" what you are 99% sure on or higher. It's the only way.

God's probably having a chuckle at how much we care about all this.

Go talk to Nirolak if you have interesting goods to verify.
Talked with a couple mods last year, they said if I wanna leak that it's my business and mine alone. It's all good.
