[jariw]

Too much fun was being had so the thread got taken down

Nah. Too little has been leaked so there was nothing to discuss.

 

[Banjotanooki]

Why wasn't there a thread? The build-up to a direct is the most fun.

Modbot hates fun.

 

[Fantastical]

Mods are crazy, of all the threads they choose this one? I guess in the end OP won after all.

Someone just bumped it and I think they changed the title.

 

[Haines]

I expect this direct to swing for the fences and go down as one of the best directs ever.

Switch is on fire, and were heading into holiday season. Nintendo needs to jump start the hype train now and ride that bitch.

 

[superdeluxe]

Tomorrow is too late, they should put it out tonight.

After the direct right?!?

 

[Incitemaybe]

We can now have cloud saves starting right after the direct.

That's what I need.

Nice we're being level headed here

 

[kc44135]

I'm hyped for this. Hopefully it delivers. I'm hoping for at least a couple of new reveals (new games, ports, whatever really), and I'm intern also interested seeing what third-parties could be bringing to Switch, especially Platinum.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

You know, the 45 minute length is probably because they'll be explaining the online service... :/

 

[javac]

Oh shit this is today, nice!

 

[Aleh]

Absolute meltdown if Animal Crossing makes an appearance. I doubt it tho. Still excited for everything else!

 

[DMONKUMA]

Platinum baby.

[Brock Reiher]

I'm gonna be real disappointed, I can feel it. 5 new 3DS games announced.

Yeah I can see the reasoning why to keep expectations in check. But this is heading into holiday season, you want to keep the momentum going

 

[wiibomb]

why was BY2K banned? D:

 

[Cartho]

Wouldn't it be funny if after all these teases Platinum don't make an appearance.

It would be funny in the same way that stubbing your toe on a piece of rusty iron is funny.

Hyped. Torn between being shattered and having to get up at 6 tomorrow and wanting to watch this.

The sheer meltdowns at HL3 on Switch could power the world.

Let's not get too crazy.

After what happened in the last thread we are well beyond crazy

 

[Ashodin]

why was BY2K banned? D:

you don't tell other people to fuck off

 

[PatShallBe]

You know, the 45 minute length is probably because they'll be explaining the online service... :/

Unlikely since it won't start before 2018.

Pretty much.

[themagicalkitsune]

The Dragon Quest Facebook page updated their profile picture and said something about DQ XI coming in 2018. Maybe we will hear something about it in the direct.

Curious how they update it now while the PS4 version coming has been known for a while...

...it think it means good news.

 

[Bulzeeb]

man I just realized that after so many years, this gif is still usable

 

[jariw]

Trivia: Guess what happened exactly 3 years ago today?

Spoiler

Smash for Wii U was first released

 

[Seik]

We need a countdown.

I NEED A COUNTDOWN!

 

[DecoReturns]

I hope it's just 45 minutes of Reggie talking about his day.

 

[requiem02]

Switch is on fire, and were heading into holiday season. Nintendo needs to jump start the hype train now and ride that bitch.

That's precisely the reason it won't be one of the best directs ever. Nintendo only unload a ton of announcements in one place when they're backed into a corner, like the infamous "oh shit" direct in early 2013 after the Wii U's sales figures came in.

 

[JustenP88]

I can't believe we're only ~30 minutes away from Pokemon Stars news

 

[AmyS]

Oh I didn't realize this is starting in just over a 1/2 hour.

How likely is it we'll get an announcement of DQXI 3DS localization & release ?

 

[LucidMomentum]

man I just realized that after so many years, this gif is still usable

We might actually get some of those too lmao.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

After what happened in the last thread we are well beyond crazy

That Mipha/Zelda thing was kinda much yeah, but the Bayonetta lolipop overload pic was genius.

I hope it's just 45 minutes of Reggie talking about his day.

Lmao.

 

[robotrock]

I hope it's just 45 minutes of Reggie talking about his day.

you know I'd pay $60+tax for that

 

[mjc]

If we don't get a Hollow Knight release date I might just drink myself into oblivion tonight.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Let's get that official Xenoblade Chronicles 2 2017 release date!

 

[Soul Lab]

That was 3DS. Sorry mate

 

[Bamboo 竹]

Hype. I just want 45 minutes full of new Nintendo memes.

 

[kc44135]

You know, the 45 minute length is probably because they'll be explaining the online service... :/

Pretty sure Nintendo said they weren't going to be talking about that until next year, when it launches.

 

[NKnight7]

man I just realized that after so many years, this gif is still usable

I'll never get tired of watching this gif lol.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Do we have a YouTube stream link?

 

[LordKano]

The japanese direct will be exactly 49 minutes long.

 

[18-Volt]

Ok final predictions:

Possible:
- Kirby named, slated for release january
- Yoshi named, slated for release march
- Bayo collection and W101 is coming to Switch
- Couple of filler game announcements: Mario Party or Mario Sports
- Dragon Quest XI localization announced for 3DS (no word on Switch version)
- Mario Odyssey and Xeno 2 new info & trailer
- And big finale: Fire Emblem trailer debut

Wet dream:
- A port of an AAA game. Anything. Western or Japanese.
- VC
- Revival of a dead and buried Nintendo franchise. Not even Fox.

 

[Shahadan]

15 minutes of Payday 2

 

[ShinRPGamer]

HYPE

BY2K I hope it wasn't a perm, but if it is then BYE2K

He said his ban was for 2 weeks on Twitter.

 

[RRockman]

No its not, one of those was killed in its sleep.

Now I am going to be disappointed if this is anything less than the best Direct ever.😕
