It's pretty obvious at this point.

A lot of you seem to be a playing a dangerous game getting your hopes up that this will be like some E3 pt. 2. It is 45 mins which is a good sign, and I do expect some new reveals... but I have to imagine the agenda is largely to double down on their holiday offerings.
All those PlatinumGames tease gotta deliver, right
And reinforce consumers confidence that 2018 will also deliver!

A lot of directs were better than what we got at E3.

Hmm idk.. never thought of the dock like that. The system is always grey or whatever so I would think its weird to add color to the dock. Unless the Joycons are color too then I guess

If this is to be the last Direct of 2017, sure. Though regardless I don't think 2018 will be of great focus.
But I'd love to be wrong, I've pretty much already decided which 2017 titles I'll be grabbing and which I'll be skipping.
Did anyone post this?

A person twitted to Kamiya that he/she is anticipating Kamiya's new work and he replied back with tomorrow in Nintendo Direct.
I mean I know he's a massive troll but still.

And a lot were worse. Depends on the E3 and the time of year of the Direct.
All I'm advocating for is reasonable expectations. Don't really see a downside to that. If it exceeds them, fantastic!
It's stupid that Okami HD isn't coming to Switch at this point, so...

Pikmin 4 and Animal Crossing are the only ones that really seem possible of those. Probably just AC since there's still the mobile game coming this FY and this is as good a chance as any to announce a console game to go with it.

It just occurred to me that we should be getting a Rocket League release date. Hype!

I still think we're well within the period of time where games like Okami HD were in the works before Capcom turned around on Switch. If they announce games like that come next holiday and they aren't on Switch from the get-go, I'll be convinced they don't know what they're doing.

26 hours and 5 minutes from the time of this post.
Pikmin 4
Smash
Metroid Prime 4
Animal Crossing
Fire Emblem
They won't talk about Fire Emblem Switch until after Warriors is out, and they won't talk about Animal Crossing Switch until after the mobile game. If MP4 shows it'll be a CGI trailer and Nintendo typically has a disdain for those. Smash port for the Switch just makes too much financial sense to not happen, but with Sakurai you never know. They may have just moved on to the next. Pikmin 4 is due, and Miyamoto has made comments on how far along the next main title is. That's my bet.

Why do I keep seeing people bring up an FF6 remake fo the Switch? Is that a super fantasy or has it been hinted?
Thanks!

That might be the only way to get me to play Blood and Wine. I'd be down to double dip.

Right when I'll get home tomorrow from work. So happy.
Fair point. Still a bummer though, and if Switch is so easy to port to/develop for like we've all heard, why is it so hard to push out a digital copy in time?

If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say it's because Capcom isn't handling these ports internally. I have literally no idea what the process would be like to add a platform to a title you have an external team handling.
My bad, I opened the link quick and saw Okami and nothing else and flew into a rage.
Kamiya, nope but the official PG twitter yes
https://twitter.com/platinumgames_j/status/881710210166824960I think at most they'll announce the developer of MP4 (

What time will this direct be for us discerning midwesterns
Nah. I think Skyrim is the November game, despite not being a Nintendo game.
Google Metroid Prime 4 reveal at NYC store and you'll see how packed and loud tbe store gets for Nintendo Directs
We're all speculating here, but I think there's going to be a big effort from several publishers to get a Switch game from their catalogs to the marketplace in time for this holiday. There will never be a time in the lifecyle of this device that will provide an environment more conducive to consumers impulse buying games than the Switch's first holiday season. Shit, we're practically begging them to repackage old games.
As far as I know, big third parties got the lowdown on the Switch at E3 2016. I understand them not being ready to release anything by the launch 6 months later but, if you're not in a position to shovel us some ware a year and a half later, then you have fucked up.

it's a lot more hype in a group than by yourself with jeery internet chatters.
I think its already confirmed its EPD (almost wrote EAD there).
This would be a special kind of amazing.
