>Right now our focus is on this holiday, so we really haven’t talked about details of games coming next year, other than that we showed off a Yoshi experience; we showed off a Kirby experience. We’ll be talking about 2018 after the holiday season is over. But the good news is we’ve got more great games coming, and we’re going to work very hard to make Nintendo Switch a vibrant platform for many, many years.

The next general Direct won't be before January.

It will be out on the last day of 2017

Most of the holiday stuff will be out by the 13th, so from what I can tell they seem to be considering it post-holiday. I understand the skepticism though.

Doubt we are getting another big Direct in 2017. They might do one when the Switch presentation hits 1 year old though, but who knows

Sounds safe and plausible.

OP is Fake News, he's what the real direct will be:

-Zelda BOTW: The Champion's Ballad - released after the direct (they have nothing in January, releasing the big Zelda DLC after when everyone who got it for Christmas bought it is a very smart move).
-Super Mario Odyssey - Expansion Pass (dubbed Expansion Passport) announcement. First new "Travel Destinations" out in March
-Splatoon 2 - some new map(s)
-ARMS - "Look! This game exists!"
-Kirby: Star Allies - March 2018
-Yoshi 2018 - trailer and "Spring 2018"
-Netflix
-Virtual Console
-Inside
-Darkest Dungeon - Feb/March
-Morphie's Law - Feburary
-BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle
-Dragon Ball FighterZ
-Wolfenstien 2
-Fire Emblem - Summer 2018
-Some new IP
-A WiiU remaster or two of games people may or may not care about.
Last big announcement:
-Pokemon Generation 8 - announcement/reveal trailer with a "Fall 2018" release date*

*Pokemon will be out next year, 80% of GF began work on it shortly before S/M was done, leaving USUM to interns/junior members and the game will reuse the Pokemon models and animations. ORAS was made in 1 year, S/M in 2, Pokemon Switch can be made in 2, X/Y were the only games in the series that have taken 3 years and the bulk of that was making the Pokemon in 3D. One thing nobody has been looking at when regarding Pokemon Gen8's release date is the current state of the anime, at the rate its going a 2018 release for the next generation/anime series sounds about right as the "adventure" is more than half over.

It's actually only like 15 minutes. Most of it is the group of smaller games run through quickly in the middle.

>*Pokemon will be out next year

Not even in my worst nightmare I would wish for a new Pokemon game just a year away from the previous one. GameFreak MUST take their time for once and go back to the drawing board. Pokemon is in desperate need of some major polish. All the past 4 releases have been rushed to death and lacking in many departments

The big problem with Pokemon is that Game Freak is trying too hard to appeal to the "smart phone generation" and that their directors and developers have gotten too lazy. Pokemon has always been a "yearly" franchise for the most part skipping every few years. Ever since Pokemon Yellow came out in Japan in 1998, the only years to not have a Pokemon game were(Japanese release dates): 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2011 and 2015. 2004 had two releases with FRLG were in January of 2004 and Emerald later that same year in September.

Pokemon in 2018 is more likely than not, given what we know and Game Freak's track record. I'm not saying it will be good, just that it will be a thing.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Fake as fuck

I understand your point and agree with you, I know that Pokemon has never been a series that takes too long between iterations.

Pokemon might be suffering a identity crisis or something, or the devs are just too deep into little children's pockets so they feel like pandering to those is the safest route. but at the same time they are more and more referencing first gen stuff. Thing is, Pokemon is just so big that they don't even need to be playing THAT safe, they have more than enough money to risk and still get some good numbers out of that.

I don't know, been playing it for over 15 years of my life and couldn't even bother playing SM for more than 1 hour, USUM won't be any different.

>TMS
AHAHAHAHAHHAHA it's dead jim, we'll never see that shit ever again.

Please no more fucking donkey kong

Fuck off, DK is fucking great and Tropical Freeze is almost 4 years old

I can see where you're coming from with the whole identity crisis thing as far as the pandering to gen1 goes. I feel that the Gen1 pandering in X/Y was fine as it was mainly kept to giving the starters and Mewtwo mega evolutions as well as minor things like getting a Lapras for surfing. Sun and Moon's Gen1 pandering can be explained by them wanting to capitalize the most on the global phenomenon which was Pokemon GO. Sun and Moon sold a few million more copies than X/Y and ORAS did probably due to being hot of the heels of Pokemon GO.

I actually skipped Sun and Moon (I just downloaded Ultra Moon and will probably emulate it later) but from what I can gather the game's problems were: Too many cutscenes/dialog, not enough new Pokemon, and being way too easy. I feel that two of those problems could be easy fixes by letting players skip cutscenes and have a difficulty option like BW2 had.

Not him but I'd be really happy if we got a "DKC Konglection" with a remastered Returns and Dong Freeze. A new DKC game from another studio (not Retro) would also be fine.

It's garbage bro, bing bing wahoo has always been the patrician's choice. No need for an inferior monkey version

Mario is shit compared to Donkey Kong

>- Tokyo Mirage Sessions: Natural FE (enhanced port of #FE, Q2 2018, Switch)

Why the fuck do you fake leakers keep putting #FE on the list? It keeps giving me hope for nothing to come :(

*AHEM *

Nintendo's biggest directs are in January and e3, they typically do not unload in December. Fuck off with your fake gay shit OP.

What I want is a new Wario Ware game to take advantage of the gimmicks with the joy cons. Something that 1-2 Switch couldn't do

That was cancelled.

thats just boring enough to be real

Maybe EAD will bring us a Jungle Beat sequel or a new 3D DK. They have talked about the possibility before: nintendolife.com/news/2014/01/kensuke_tanabe_highlights_potential_return_of_3d_donkey_kong_games

Not OP, but the "Big January Direct" can easily be moved to December. There wasn't one in 2014 as there was a big direct in December 2013.

Nintendo would want to capitalize on the Switch hype and momentum from the holiday to put something big out closer to Christmas time.

Game Freak's problem is that they keep trying to add new mechanics and barely trying to improve previous mechanics if at all.

>Donkey Kong Country: Blast from the Past
At least put some effort into these names, user.

Donkey Kong Country: We Wuz Kongs

>- Tokyo Mirage Sessions: Natural FE (enhanced port of #FE, Q2 2018, Switch)
Would buy that now that Kimishima is keeping NoA on a leash and allowing releases with dual audio/no censorship

>Implying Puyo Chronicles won't be localized

Shit Leak

>no BoTW DLC
that was a quick nope.
