Nintendo is a multi billion dollar company. If they can not create online themselves, then hire a suitable company to assist. If Nintendo is truly unable, turn over their online to Valve or Microsoft or someone else.

Wasn't DeNA supposed to also assist Nintendo with their online? Or was that just with their smartphone apps?
 
Probably fake news but I will take my part.

鞠 -> ancient football -> FIFA 18
帝 -> Shin Sangoku Musou 7 Empire (Dynasty Warrior 8 Empire, years old port which announced to release in Nov)
信 -> 信長の野望・大志 -> Nobunagas Ambition: Taishi, already announced for this winter
 
Here...take it. It will solve all problems in life.

Ball
🆕
Trust
Mother
Envy
Reason
💃
♪
Emperor
☀
Electricity
TT
luck
Silver
Dragon
etc.

Okay here's my take.

Ball: Monkey Ball, the monkey ball developer team from SEGA developed F-Zero.
So Ball = F-Zero.

🆕: A new F-Zero

Trust: I Trust that Nintendo will finally give us a new F-Zero (see above)

Mother: Metroid Other M, like Metroid, F-Zero also had a big hiatus phase, so you see

Envy: I envy that so many dead franchises have come back, except F-Zero.

so OBVIOUSLY

Electricity: This is an easy one.

Reason:
Its Reasonable to expect a new F-Zero by now.

💃 ♪: I will be dancing of joy when the new F-Zero gets announced.

Emperor: This one its a clever parallel to the Emperor's New Clothes being metaphor for the new F-Zero, as there hasnt been one in a long time, but surely

☀: Dark Souls.

TT: TT, the sentient clock from Diddy Kong racing that participated in the Time Trials, you know what other Nintendo series has Time Trials?

Luck: We will all realize how lucky we were when the new F-Zero gets annoucned.

Silver: The lyrics to James Mcloud's F-Zero GX theme contain the words "silver" in them, so this is a obscure, but smart clue to a new F-Zero being announced.

Dragon: Mother 3.
 
Probably not. Mario Run wasn't a huge success in spite of heavy promotion by apple if I remember correctly.

Mario Run was a pretty big success, Nintendo just made mistakes that kept it from being a megaton like most predicted. This take is about as silly as the ones that say Pokemon Go is "dead".
 
Well since everyone is already playing :


Ball -> Rocket League
🆕 -> something new
Trust -> Fire Emblem Warriors
Mother -> Mother 3
Envy -> Nights of Azure 2
Reason / Since (Chinese) -> Captain Toad 2
💃-> Just Dance 2018
♪ -> Rhythm Tengoku
Emperor -> Dynasty Warriors
☀ -> Boktai 3 (lol)
Electricity -> Pokémon UltraSun/Moon
TT -> tears of F-Zero fans
luck / Destiny 運命 -> Mario Party
Silver -> The Silver Case
Dragon -> Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2
What are you guys going on about
 
I'm hoping for a big firmware update, achievements, some implementation for Virtual Console, and maybe some alternate joycon stuff.

Dragon: Mother 3.

Emperor could also be a reference to 'Emperor Breath" - the theme for chapter 8 in GX's story mode. Dragon could also be a nod to Aeropolis - Dragon Slope.

F-Zero confirmed?

edit - Silver for Silver Neelson...hooolllyyy shitttt
 
Basically this.

Apparently there is a dude in 2ch (Japanese 4chan) who got the date and one of the announcement right (Silver Star Shogi). This is what he posted.

What the guy posted on 4chat: 鞠��信母嫉由��♪帝☀電TT運銀竜etc.

And now we are trying to figure out what those characters and words could mean.
 
I'm assuming the following:

Zelda DLC
Mario + Rabbids DLC
FE: Warriors
Xenoblade 2
Couple Indie release dates (Hollow Knight, Golf Story(might launch with the direct, Etc.)
Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon
Detective Pikachu
Some 3DS game that looks cool but isn't coming to Switch
Big Mario Odyssey preview
Maybe 1 good surprise? (VC?)

It won't be that bland if you take the last few directs and an indicator for this one.
 
My expectations for the Direct:

- Virtual Console
- Nintendo Switch Online paid information
- VR Headset for Switch and all Virtual Boy titles available for it
- Apps like Netflix, YouTube, etc will be announced.

Yup, not asking for much.

In like the first few seconds of the Direct they'll say the word "new releases" and everyone will lose their minds because of that emoji.
 
Pff come on people, the sun obviously stands for Okami HD.
Please...


I refuse to believe Capcom is that dumb.

I asked this in another thread but didn't get an answer, so here we go. Capcom has been relying on external studios for these ports right? Not knowing how those relationships work, is it reasonable to assume that they might not want to add to their workload after an agreement was already reached? To me that would explain why their Switch ports are so late.
