Something is up.
Why on earth would Regie announce the Galaxy 3DS when they hold a Direct 3 days later? Makes no sense.

No they didn't, maybe one source said that once(Nintendo of Canada???) but I don't remember anything else from Nintendo mentioning anything but this year or later this year.
Foreshadowing. They will finally reveal that Nintendo is run by aliens.

On Monday, NOA announced a space-themed n3DS XL that is hitting stores later this week
The 3DS kinda needs its send-off Direct, so it makes sense to get the last of the 3DS news out of the way. Plus Sun/Moon may serve as the 3DS's swan song come November.

Imagine Mario Galaxy 3 for 3DS instead of NX.
The meltdown on GAF would be massive.

Reggie:
Remember when I said we wouldn't talk about NX?
Gouh la laaaaaa !
Gold/Silver/Crystal hitting up the VC? 
People disappointed about no NX. I admit I was too initially (how could any other be the case with that title lol) but after the Galaxy 3DS yesterday I really didn't count on anything else revealed this week at all, so having a Direct, even if NX free, is most welcome. Plus this means they get all the 3DS (and likely Wii U) news out of the way for a later September reveal for NX.

Last picture should be Reggie's face close up behind Galaxy 3ds
Sony needs to takes notes... Vita is a sad device.

People were expecting this thing last E3 lol. There's no stopping the anxiety train.
They'd be less impatient if the Wii U wasn't dead and buried.
Not to mention the longer this thing doesn't get announced the more rumblings start popping up about a delay. Imagine no Zelda until holiday 2017.
Ah well, we'll see. This announcement was hilarious though, considering the context.

They're not going to spend more than 30 seconds on Federation Force unless there's some sort of update, which would put it in the WW timetable.my expectations are set
most likely:
Dragon Ball Fusion
dragon quest 7/8
pokemon sun/moon
Ace attorney 6
Unlikely:
Culdcept Revolt (?) - DO IT!!!!
Mario galaxy n3ds
etrian 5 (?)
Picross 3D 2

Rhythm Heaven
Metroid Prime fed.force
7th dragon

My thoughts as well. March is still far away (assuming no more delays in NX releasing) and Nintendo still needs the 3DS to carry it through the holiday. NX info is still coming soon I assume. Rough crowd around here.
Same thing as the others. "Focused on 3DS titles to be released this year. NX and smartphone information will not be included."

Nintendo Direct is one of the most successful videogame advertising strategies of all time. So successful, in fact, that most people seem to have forgot that they're glorified commercials.

Mario Galaxy remaster on 3DS is my unrealistic dream here.
You're right, though--it's bizarre that this wasn't held until Thursday.
A co-op online procedurely generated shooter where you can't see the other players.

I guess it makes sense to only talk about products currently on market as they're getting ready for the holiday quarter starting next month. Need a more focused message for consumers.
Maybe they really won't talk about NX until January.

Because the Galaxy 3DS isn't really a big deal. Unless Mario Galaxy 3DS is coming, but I doubt it.
I hope I made it clear enough in the op that this Direct is not about NX.
Can you imagine how good that game would look in 3D?
Ahh yeah that's right, I got it mixed up with Nintendo of Canada claiming Falll 2016 and the Investors' Relations Meeting.
My thoughts exactly. 3DS is dying hardware. Also, they need to talk about the NX. It's about time. If September goes by with no reveal we'll have some issues.

At this point? It would seem downright silly. But there's that fugly Galaxy Style 3DS if you really want one.
Yep. Their marketing department has totally lost it, and apparently no one at the company, Reggie included, has noticed.

I expect the mysterious monster hunter title.
I don't get it. Of course the reactions are what they are, all things considered.

"And now we are officially ready to unveil the New Nintendo 2DS for only $249.99. NX? What's NX? Please understand."
This is a 3DS-focused Direct. Even getting an announcement for when the NX reveal will go down would be a miracle in of itself.
My list of already-known stuff that could appear in the direct.
The verbiage is that it's EXCLUSIVELY focused on 3DS. Chances of Wii U or NX info are next to none.

Seriously, and think about it: Nintendo's remasters have sold well. Wind Waker HD, Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D, etc. It isn't out of the question that they'd have commissioned another remaster for this holiday season. Mario Galaxy would be a great game to choose.
