Directs are the exception, they warrant excitement since they often deliver.
I just tried to put fire to the hype train again after jonneh tried to keep expectations low lol
I'm expecting a "WiiU classics" initiative. Every Nintendo WiiU game is going to be ported to Switch and available "right now" on the eShop.
This is going to take 5 minutes to announce, with the rest of the Direct being Metroid Prime 4 gameplay with no commentary.
I think it's reasonable.

Last time we did the latter and got a new Yoshi, a new Kirby, a new Pokemon, and TWO new Metroid games announced in a 25 minute direct.
I'd say it's justified this time.

I forgot to mention Metroid Prime 5!

Directs are great because they directly get to the point. This one is also 45 minutes long. There will be some juicy stuff

Nah, I'm happy with the predictions I made and I don't see why I'd lower them, if Nintendo does disappoint then I think I'll get over it rather quickly.

A port of GTA V would be great and far more interesting than L.A. Noire.
Lets see
Expectations for the E3 showcase were extremely low so that really isn't true.

I hope Retro Studios pulls a Sakurai.
Reggie: Now here's a word from Retro Studios.
Retro: Hello everyone, Yes! We're Still Alive!

oh god, I forgot about that
I think they said it's coming this year when they showed off the capture button at the Switch presentation
I need that record feature for Splatoon asap
I saw a lot of concern trolling for the E3 showcase so who knows.
I can imagine Bill is still laughing over his troll.

Yeah but they have many games we need actual information on though.. that I would prefer if the new games are just games that haven't been highlighted by Nintendo. Doubt more than 5 new not even 2.

Question- has it been discussed that the My Nintendo rewards site now has a section for Nintendo Switch Rewards and a note saying "Coming Soon"? Unless it's a recent change I must have missed the thread on that.
Anyway, what are the chances that the Switch My Nintendo Rewards open up after the Direct? I think we're due for an OS update so I think it's kinda likely.

DirectGAF has the amazing ability to, somehow, do both at once.
I myself expect absolutely nothing but deep disappointment. I uneagerly anticipate watching the first ten minutes, then the next ten, and the next ten, and then realizing how little time is left for something I might want before coming to the final realization nothing exciting is being announced. I will then climb into my coffin and close the lid. Neiteio will nail it shut.
But, simultaneously, my imagination is reeling with the possibility of something wonderful. However infinitesimally small the likelihood of a megaton is, I have a disproportionately passionate enthusiasm for its announcement. There is a .00001% chance a new Super Smash Bros will be announced? Well GET ON THE TRAIN! A NEW SMASH BROS MIGHT BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW!
To simultaneously prepare yourself for the almost guaranteed disappointment and the virtually impossible thrill at the same time is symptomatic of an obsession only Nintendo can inspire. It is a disease. A sickness. An addiction.
I hope we get lucky. But, then again, leave luck to heaven.

As long as I get some good USM info I'll be content. I think I'm the only person on GAF who even cares, though.

You're not alone. USM news is almost the only thing I care about right now. I cannot stand this news drought and mum-keeping about a title that's out in two months.
Yeah but Metroid Prime 4 is the equivalent of 50 games.
MP Trilogy? I'd explode. That's 150 games.

Yeah the E3 thread when we learned it'd be 25 minutes was incredibly silly. Lots of "half of it will be Splatoon 2/ARMS", "oh so that might be 25 3DS games announced then?", "watch them demo Mario Odyssey for 10 minutes showing us how to jump and that Peach has been kidnapped again", "25 minutes, how can they do *anything* in 25 minutes?"
Like wow it was a thing alright.
Objectively speaking, the E3 direct wasn't exactly a barn burner. It was largely saved thanks to the surprise announcements of Prime 4 and Pokemon, which were barely announcements at all. Not to say the games they had to show looked bad, but the lineup for 2018 is almost non-existent at this point, so one would hope they will have a lot to announce between this direct, and a potential big one in January. As it stands they have 3 confirmed 2018 Switch games, and another two (Prime & Pokemon) that could also make 2018. Of those, we only have video of Kirby and Yoshi, and even if all 5 of those games made it next year, that lineup is still quite small.
The rest of this year is already so packed that they could show nothing new and I'd still be okay lol. My Switch and 3DS are going to get some ridiculous playtime in the coming months

Exactly, thats how I think lol
I think you haven't visited My Nintendo since March.

Jeez, it's been saying "coming soon" for that long now?
And I've definitely visited it a couple times but I guess I easily could've just missed that.
Yes, wouldn't expect Switch rewards anytime soon.

I'm cool with US/UM in theory but I feel like we still barely know much about it. It's an alternate storyline yeah, but what's that mean? Same characters? Different events? How different? Some kind of funky spin? I hope we get more info.

For me, it was just less interesting than the original. I liked the idea of a mansion where all of these humans lived and interacted with each other before they became ghosts. Neville and his family lived in the west wing. There was a creepy butler who loved a girl named Melody. A fortune teller who now wants to atone for her sins in life took up residence in that house. And you can go into the Gameboy Horror and read bios on all these people. Much more appealing to me than missions, generic looking ghosts, and spiders and stairs as bosses.
I'm always hyper hyped, even if the Direct ends up being so-so, Directs are special occasion to dream of what we want (and don't)

Directs on average have been pretty good. I can't think of one in recent memory that hasn't really been that great.

MPT HD seems like something Nintendo should consider pursuing. It might be a good long while until Prime 4, and the trilogy could be used to simultaneously build hype and refresh players. Would make for a great gap filler in their lineup.
