Master troll 101.
 
Anybody expecting big first party announcements is probably going to be dissapointed.

No, if anything this Direct will be where we see some of the first big third party titles being announced.

S-E: Octopath, DQ11, DQB2+one more announcement.
Bamco: Tales of..., Taiko no Tatsujinn. DBFighterz Switch announcement i'd wager.
Capcom: MHPortable Switch reveal. Hence the extra 5 minutes for the Japan direct.
Platinum: Bayo 1+2 Switch, W101+W102 announced.
Konami: *crickets*
Sega: Can we have some Atlus Switch please?
Ubisoft: Guillemot said there where still games left to announce so probably here. South Park seems likely.
Bethesda: Fallout 3 or 4, DOOM?
Activision/Blizzard: Modern Warfare Switch, Heartstone.
Rockstar: fuck it. Let's go for broke and say GTA 5 Switch.

Nintendo: Smash 4 Switch announcement, first footage MP4, release dates for Skyrim, Xenoblade 2 and Yoshi Switch. Oddessy gets 5 minutes of footage plus a mini-direct announcement.

HYPE!
 
Anyone else hoping for a Captain Toad sequel?

I would think most if not all of the Tokyo team is polishing Odyssey right now but who knows? I doubt it will be announced here though.

Did we ever find out what Koichi Hayashida is working on? I know he became a producer after 3D World but he hasn't been mentioned in any Odyssey videos/interviews as far as I know. It's all been Koizumi. I mean, he could still be working on Odyssey but I was just curious.

How about a FromSoft Dark Souls Trilogy for Switch on top of that? Imagine DS on the go!
 
Would love to see what Next Level games have been working on, but I don't know if we're still too close to their release of Federation Force.
 
How big is the possibility that EA announces The Sims 4 for Switch? I think it would sell like hot cakes to be able to have a portable Sims game that can also be played on the big screen.

Otherwise I have no high hopes for this Direct. Hopefully Nintendo will announce Wario as a playable character for Odyssey
 
I think he was joking, but I don't quite get his context or what's so funny about it.

NES, GBC, Gamecube and 3DS have all had Metal Gear game/s

Your comparison of Ubisoft and Fry Cry is hardly the same thing when as said Konami has a history of porting games from that franchise over to Nintendo systems
 
I'm not quite sure what to do with this post, but I guess it's a joke?

I guess it's about the mgs3 port on 3DS. It's quite a big generalization... But again I don't see what's so incredible about the idea of a metal gear game on the switch. I don't think it'll happen though.

Now check how many Metal Gear titles were released in total, and how many of those were released on Nintendo games. And it's also questionable that releases on NES, GBC or GameCube are relevant when making release decision today. The latest Final Fantasy game isn't coming to Switch either despite the franchise launching on NES and SNES.

Ubisoft also had FarCry on Wii by the way, if that's what you're going by.
 
I think the following is reasonable to expect:

- Mario Oddessy trailer showing something new
- Pokemon Ultra trailer
- Skyrim Release date
- Xenoblade 2 release date (Will the western release dip into 2018?)
- Pokken trailer
- Kirby 3ds
- FE Warriors 3ds / Switch trailer
- Mario and Luigi 3ds info
- Rocket League release date
- Stardew Valley release date
- Arms info
- Splatoon 2 info

More than likely:
- DQ XI 3ds localization
- 3rd party port announcement for Switch
- OS system changes coming later in the Fall
- Bayonetta Switch port
- Ubisoft being in the Direct
- LA Noire


Not as likely, but I think these would be great:

- 2k bundle Bioshock Infinite / Borderlands 2
- Konami announces Metal Gear or Castlevania for Switch
- ****Nintendo discusses the abysmal online and voice chat and has a viable solution. ****
- Pikmin 4
- Fallout Nintendo Switch is real.
- AAA 3rd party fps is being saved for Nintendo day in November to launch along with Pokemon Ultra on 3ds.
- a 3rd party reel of ports coming to Switch in the next 6 mos. Games like Shadow of Mordor 1, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic Allstar Racing, Tomb Raider, Trails of Cold Steel, Alien Isolation, Sims, etc.

*** Most important of the whole Direct IMO***
