I'm not one to hold out hope for virtual console announcements since these don't happen on directs except for special occasions, but SE has been strangely* absent from the japanese "Coming Soon" SNES VC picture.
*i.e. not strange at all for everywhere except Japan

That hasn't stopped them from bringing it up before, and I know it's not 3DS.
Oh my god thank you for reminding me about that lunacy. The things people convinced themselves of was insane. I miss the smash threads.
Yep, definitely!
Not to mention: (per Oregano) MH3U was announced in September and out in December for instance. and (per me) Kirby Triple Deluxe in October --> released January (JP) or MM3D in November --> released February
\I will say I guess though that I don't know if any non-eShop game, i.e. a retail game, would still come this year. I say that because the Trev leak didn't indicate any other retail games for 3DS this year beyond those we now know about (the last one we had a codename for was Mario Party). But, that was several months ago and the NX/Zelda plans changed so maybe 3DS ones have also and in that scenario we could see another retail game this year. I'm tempering my expectations a bit though and hoping for, say, a surprise Q1 game. Wario Land 5, perhaps.
Presuming that's a Wii U VC title since it's GBA, so I'm skeptical this would be the place to reveal it. Then again, Nintendo usually doesn't usually stick (never sticks?) with the announced subject of a Direct, so, I suppose now could be as good a venue as any.
Unless it's in some standalone mother trilogy worked on for the ground up on 3DS or something, I doubt it'll be a 3DS title. If anything it would have been a virtual console title similar to earthbound beginnings on wii u. Now i'm not even sure wii u will get it and if it's coming at all it'll be an NX project. I do believe emily was right in her rumor that the game was being localized, but i strongly believe it might just be 'delayed for nx' to make nx's first year even stronger.
So that leaves the New 3DS? Which just got a price cut last week to $149?

Yeah, this is exactly what I'm thinking, too.
When's the last time Capcom's made an announcement for a system with an install base of zero?
They announced 3DS games before launch. Unless you mean Monster Hunter? In which case, I still think they had decided to move to 3DS early on even though they didn't announce it. Monster Hunter on the PSP was a big fish in a small pond.

My semi-realistic dreams for this Direct would be a physical release of Rhythm Heaven Megamix (I know it's getting one in Europe and I'm importing it but still) and a localization of Rocket Slime 3.
I already know they won't happen but ¯_(ツ_/¯

Speaking of Square localizations
It's a very opportunistic time to cash in on Pokemon Go fever with a localization of the 3D DQM remakes for the love of god please

Nothing to say they couldn't pull a swerve and announce a price cut even though they've announced the galaxy model at $199. Announcing the new model at $169( or whatever a new MSRP would be) would tip off a pending price cut before they are ready to.
Third party announcements usually don't happen in a Direct, do they?
Give me Dragon Ball Fusions in English so I can rest in peace.

Hmm, sometimes they do, I think, like when from key partners. Or indies. DB Fusions was rated recently so it has a good shot at being announced tomorrow.
They do. Monster Hunter, Ace Attorney for example got their first announcements in a Nintendo Direct.
Yeah, third parties have made announcements before. It's good exposure.
Many apologies if this has already been discussed to death, but any chance of a price drop announcement tomorrow? I'd love a New 3DS so I can get hold of some of those lovely face plates, but they're still a bit too pricy.
Edit: just noticed you all above talking about price cuts, ignore me!

oh shit
It's possible, but ... given the N3DS bundle that imes with a bunch of stuff for $150 coming out so recently, and given the XL release for $200 this week... I'm skeptical that will happen anytime soon except maybe for the XL. The Trev leak mentioned a 3DS price cut, I think for the holidays, but it's unclear if that already happened and was the recent 3DL bundle. There's a lot of value in that package. And then OTOH Nintendo IIRC usually doesn't announce price cuts in WW Directs, at least in the WW sections, perhaps it could be in a regional section though.
Edit: wait, just remembered you're in the UK and only us NAers got the price cut, so sure, you could get one in at least a regional section of your Direct.

Ridley makes perfect sense. He is basically the main villain of the Metroid series, and in terms of role (disregarding feasibility), he is the best choice for a second non-Samus character from the series.
Why not Metroid Prime?
Capcom pls
Then capcom should stop beating around the bush and say they just don't want to bring it over :/

Now that you mention it, Indieszero has been quiet since developing Theatrhythm Dragon Quest...
Same stuff with Waluigi, Geno or even KRool. And games like Startropics and such. There are so many examples about Nintendo fans going bananas with this kind of stuff that it scares me sometimes if i take it serious.
Just dont take it serious.

My hopes:
Theatrhythm Dragon Quest
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime 2
Picross 3D 2
BOXBOXBOXBOY!
Punch-Out!! (assuming they don't end up making it on the Wii U/NX, which they should)
Wario Land (same - I want to see Good-Feel make a new game with the Shake It engine)
I assume you mean Dark Samus, in which case I would say:
1. Less recognizability (especially in Japan)
2. Perhaps didn't want to have three characters named Samus
3. By far less significance than Ridley; Dark Samus only briefly appears in Prime and shows up in Prime 2 and 3. Comparatively, Ridley is in Metroid, RoS, Super, Prime, Fusion, Prime 3, Zero Mission (where a robot version of him is the new final boss), Pinball (DS might appear in this too, I dunno), and Other M (not that this is good for his resume).

EAD Tokyo developed it. More like Hayashida-San who programmed and designed the first 100 games by himself. And also co directed Super Mario 3D World at the same time. Indies Zero helped finish the game for obvious reasons.
