The Nintendo Direct in the middle of September is longer than their main E3 Spotlight video.

vern did say that he's heard rumblings of some third party projects that will likely be announced soon, not necessarily in the Direct:
Basically retailers and a few insiders (like vern) were expecting a Direct this week and vern specifically said he'd heard rumblings that it's the 13th, which it is in NA and UK.

My new "pie in the sky" prediction is that Okami HD is coming to Switch, just not as a physical copy. It would explain why Capcom hasn't announced it yet despite all of the retailer leaks. A man can dream...
I think that's a possibility, but not for this year or even next holiday. When they can't get the components to manufacture the regular Switch they aren't going to introduce another SKU.

Anyone else have a bad feeling that Mario will get delayed.

Someone credible said that there would be a direct on the 13th in the Media Create thread.
I don't think there were any specific details.

No. They straight up announced a firm date at e3. They didn't say, "this fall," or anything ambiguous.

Hasn't it been finished for a while now?
Apple conference.
Apple Event. Animal Crossing Mobile.

I can't tell if you're being serious.

No, they said it was "considerably finished" back in January, I seriously doubt it will be delayed.
Contrary to popular belief Nintendo very very rarely delays games, especially games that have firm release dates. Like, almost never outside of the Zelda series.
Apple's event is tomorrow.

No.
LMAO WHAT? We're like less than 50 days from release and this game has been playable and virtually finished for ages, it ain't FFXV.
Fair enough, cheers Drops!
So this is where they announce the fully localised switch rerelease of Dai Gyakuten Saiban right?

Please bring Kamiya to announce Bayo 1 + 2 + 3!
Some people think it's quite likely they can reveal AC Mobile game at the Apple event on the 12th. I'm one of them, but I'll keep my expectations in check. A follow up Direct a day after that would make too much sense
Very exciting!
I sense a lot of Mario, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade 2 and Zelda DLC in this Direct, but other than that, I'm really curious, what's been cooking for the Switch.
Or maybe they are just dedicating more time to Skyrim and the Sports games?
Really hope we get a good new announcement out of it.
Don't think it's the VC though, that's way too close to the release of the SNES Mini.

I predict that 30 minutes of the Direct will be dedicated to Eternal Darkness 2 and that the game will be released alongside a Denis Dyack amiibo.
Also, they're skipping the third entry and will announce Bayonetta 4ever instead.

Ah.
Plus Rhythm Heaven would have a decent chance of getting localized anyway. GBA game aside, the west pretty much got every entry in the RH franchise, so I'm not too worried (if it gets announced, of course).
As for what I'm expecting/hoping for beyond Super Mario Odyssey (which seems to make up the bulk of this Direct), I'm only really expecting details on the 2nd DLC pack for BotW, release dates for Xenoblade 2 & Skyrim, and some trailer for the Switch version of L.A. Noire. We'll probably get a look into some 2018 stuff like Kirby & Yoshi, maybe even Fire Emblem if we're lucky. Plus, if I recall, there was one GAFer who was pretty confident that we'd get a Bayonetta 1/2 double-pack on the Switch (I really hope that happens). As for a potential wild card announcement, I'd probably have to go with the announcement of a Switch port for Dragon Ball FighterZ a month or so after the launch of the PS4/XB1/PC versions.
That thought never even crossed my mind until I saw this post. But I still don't think Odyssey will be delayed. It's been in development since just after they finished 3D World.
I hope they never make a gimped switch without support for the best feature of the hybrid setup. I just don't understand why people want it so bad. Just leave your switch in the dock if you don't want to take it with you...
Wonder what new announcements we will get at least one r two tiny ones are always present.
But besides that I expect release dates for Skyrim and Xenoblade2; new Mario Odyssey stuff, probably more DLC showcase for BotW and probably another glimpse on Yoshi and Kirby again. They might even mention L.A.Noire.

I wonder two things. 1). Will they talk about online and voice chat updates? 2.) will third parties announce a shooter for Switch?

You're joking, right?
If it's coming this year they better get something solid now. My favorite time is Direct time.
