A third Retro DKCR that returns to Crocodile Isle with a dark aesthetic and music by David Wise would be the stuff of dreams. Eff the haters.

Gonna go ahead and guess the following:
-probably more info about Odyssey than most of us want considering we're already sold on the game
-release dates for everything announced but without a release date yet (aside from Pokemon and MP4) along with little previews of most of them (Skyrim, rocket league, etc)
-some highlights of upcoming indie titles.
-release date for the 2nd half of Zelda DLC.
-maybe a new game announcement. Gonna go ahead and guess Pikmin 4.
-first proper trailer for MP4 at the end of the direct.

3D Donkey Kong deserves a second chance I think.

How often do they do this? This reminds me of the Prime 4 reactions... Boy, I need to keep expectations in check.

Hype level rising.
Good question. No clue though, but that would imply that Capcom knows what they are doing and aren't allergic to money.
Lmao that's a new one.

They're broadcasting every Direct at the Nintendo NY store.

Thinking about it this direct needs to be big, its their broadcast not to just sell games but to sell the system this Christmas

My personal plausible prediction: New Trauma Center!!!
I will forever want an HD version of all the Trauma Centers and Trauma Team.
Truly fun games with great characters and stories.

As in "Heathcliff"
Hmmmm. That's going to be very interesting to see what kind of Direct we are going to get this time.

I wonder if half the audience will pretend to be hyped again when Metroid prime despite them not actually recognised the logo.
Bloody casuals.
I'll take fake hype over no hype any day.
Haha "English Motherfucker" got me good.
I'm really not one of these elite gamurz but damn that was annoying to me. Especially the people who didn't even get it when the fucking music appeared.

Actually would love this. Didn't have a Wii U and with online player levels it would be incredible.
If they mention Animal Crossing on switch I would be super happy with this direct.
My best guess is Mario Odyssey footage. Xenoblade release date and footage. Stardew Valley release date. Kirby footage

Yeah I have a feeling this will focus on third parties a bit more than most people here seem to think. Platinum is essentially confirmed, I'm betting we'll see Skyrim and potentially another Bethesda game (please DOOM, boo FO4), Ubisoft said they'd be announcing more Switch games "very soon", with TGS next week we can expect a solid amount of JP third party announcements (and maybe a new Octopath Traveler trailer?)... I wouldn't be surprised to see LA Noire, maybe Payday 2 again, maybe something from EA/Activision, maybe Konami, maybe Capcom (yeah right)...
And then a few indie games too, like Hollow Knight and Thimbleweed Park.
It's not like they need to go all out to sell the system this holiday but yeah, hopefully they do.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

It's actually several minutes longer than their E3 presentation (it was 37 minutes if I recall), but it's hard to say if the content will be equally newsworthy.
I think a lot of this presentation will be more of a "tying up loose ends" type of thing (release dates for Skyrim, Stardew, Hollow Knight, etc.), but I do think we'll see some reveals, for sure.
ThanksVision

i just want a stardew valley release date, anything else on top of that is bonus.

The E3 Spotlight was less than 25 minutes in length, so this Direct will be significantly longer.

I imagine they'll figure something out, SMM was a potential goldmine that was stuck on a dead platform. I'd be really surprised if we don't see a port or remake this gen.
Man, I'm so excited for this, but I think what I'm hoping for the most is UI updates/VC announcements. Just announcing the latter will be the megaton of the day. As far as IP announcements go, I'd like to be surprised, but I'm perched for a Pikmin 4 or Animal Crossing trailer.

They already got red and blue joycons. Maybe white wedding joycons??
Why would you do that?

Awesome. I was wondering if I would get home in time to watch the Direct. Instead I can watch it at the store!

They were sort of doing that but it was only in Japan.

Why not make the dock red with the hats eyes on it?
I'd expect at least one decently significant first party game announcement from Nintendo here. I think this is our last opportunity for a Smash 4 Switch port announcement, with release in the early months of '18, otherwise I think they'd have moved on. Mario Maker port is another good guess, though my money is on Pikmin 4. Miyamoto said a while ago the next game was close to completion, and I don't think he was referring to Hey! Pikmin. I'd imagine Pikmin 4 was a similar situation to Pikmin 3, trying to get it done as a swan song for a console but ending up moving it to the next instead.
My gut feeling is that Animal Crossing will be a Holiday '18 title, and I think they're on record as saying the mobile game is coming first, no? Once that's finally announced the countdown for the Switch game announcement can begin.
