My take:

Ball -> Rocket League
🆕 -> ???
Trust -> Xenoblade 2
Mother -> Mother 3
Envy -> ???
Reason / Since (Chinese) -> ???
💃 -> Mario Odyssey
♪ -> Rhythm Heaven
Emperor -> ???
☀ -> Golden Sun
Electricity -> Inazuma Eleven
TT _-> ???
luck / Destiny 運命 -> Tales of Destiny 1 + 2
Silver -> ???
Dragon -> Dragon Quest XI
etc.

This is fun. No hype like Nintendo Direct's hype.

Just realize that dancer could be Bayonetta?

This is too much fun. Could envy be Bayonetta related?

I'm trying to think what TT stands for. A company?
 
The thing that sticks out to me is Mother possibly being teased by that 2ch post. Could it be a Mother 3 port for Switch? A remake? Or even Mother 4? The hype is real.
 
Having just bought a Switch, I can properly participate in these threads now, woo!

All I truly want, in my heart, is a Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Remaster and more details on Pokemon Switch, and a Wii Sports spiritual sequel.

I know my dreams are far out, so I doubt we'll get any of that. Maybe a new IP or something? Some big third party releases?

What even is this?

Nintendo Directs were a mistake
 
My predictions

Ball -> Smash / Dragonball FighterZ
🆕 -> ???
Trust -> Xenoblade 2
Mother -> ???
Envy -> Bayonetta
Reason / Since (Chinese) -> ???
💃 -> Mario Odyssey
♪ -> Taiko
Emperor -> ???
☀ -> Pokemon US/UM
Electricity -> Momotarou Dentetsu
TT _-> ???
luck / Destiny 運命 -> Steins Gate Elite/Fate Extella Link
Silver -> Silver Shogin DX
Dragon -> Dragon Quest XI / DB Fighter Z
etc.
 
TT could be Traveller's Tales. Lego Marvel 2 is coming out soon, no?
 
The thing that sticks out to me is Mother possibly being teased by that 2ch post. Could it be a Mother 3 port for Switch? A remake? Or even Mother 4? The hype is real.

Mother 4 won't happen. Itoi doesn't want to make anymore games for it, and I really don't see Nintendo getting another lead for it considering Mother IS Itoi pretty much.

Let's just hope Mother 3 can come over.
 
Guys my uncle works for Nintendo he sent me a hidden emoji message as well

It went like this:

Eggplant , Squirt , Crying/Laughing Face

Could this mean new Kid Icarus?
 
pls no 🆕 super mario bros. switch

1. There is zero reason they'd release that on Switch to cannibalize Odyssey.

2. NSMBU is the best 2D Mario in existence.

Yeah, it probably means a brand new game.

This headline is weird, is the direct on Wednesday or Thursday for USA?

Wednesday

The only problem with DBFZ getting announced is it seems like they wouldn't want to undercut Xenoverse 2 right before release.

I like your thinking. I'll take Dragon Quesr XI for Switch instead.

"リズム天国"

translates directly to Rhythm Heaven

I don't actually believe it'll be NSMBS. I can't imagine they'd do something fresh and new like Odyssey but then choose to go back to that stale series.

That said NSMBU is bland and predictable and I don't know how people have convinced themselves that the decent-at-best level design is somehow superior to actual classics like SMW.

now new super luigi u on the other hand

It's from a 2ch post not a tweet.

This is just a person taking a guess based on the hint. (Just like us)
 
Mother 4 won't happen. Itoi doesn't want to make anymore games for it, and I really don't see Nintendo getting another lead for it considering Mother IS Itoi pretty much.

Let's just hope Mother 3 can come over.

Yeah, I figured there'd be no 4 but I can't think of what they could possibly be teasing because the hints were probably for the Japanese Direct and they already have Mother 3.
 
Theres a lot that I want to see at this direct but there is one thing thats already out in Japan that I desperately want here...

The Secret of Mana collection! I've been iching to play Secret of Mana 2 (SD3) again and if its not announced on Wed. guess I'll have to give up on it and just play it on emulation again but I want to have that game have an official localization!
 
I don't see the point of releasing new 2D Mario games now after Mario Maker, all they need to do is expand on the original by adding the ability to create worlds etc, they could even just release Nintendo made worlds as DLC for it
