Is there actually a direct coming, or are you just trying to start a circlejerk around baseless assumptions?

the 11th. Not officially announced yet, but three separate, and very damningly likely, leaks all have pointed to there being a january direct on the 11th.

two real leaks, and one rumor that it will be on the 11th.

Pic related is the first leak, by EA themselves.

and here's the second one, by amazon. They accidentally uploaded 18 slots for switch games that will be shown "in the switch event"

nice

99.99$?
79.99$?

The only reliable leak was the EA one and even that one didn't have a date, just "January". What other leaks are you talking about?

F-ZERO EXTREME BABY IT'S HAPPENING

TWEWY 2

Yoshi and Kirby both shown, Yoshi coming April, and Kirby with a summer 2018 release. Mario Maker switch coming fall 2918. No mention of metroid prime or pokemon

>wildest dreams
animal crossing switch, pikmin 4, for sonybros to stop being so obsessed with the success of the switch

I'd like something from Rockstar

>animal crossing switch, pikmin 4, for sonybros to stop being so obsessed with the success of the switch
AC is a system seller though.

Said it before, I'll be happy with anything related to:
Mischief makers
Hybrid heaven
Eternal darkness
Advanced wars
Or at least throw a bone to f-zero fags, I don't even like those that much, but I feel bad for them

In all seriousness I seriously think the following will be announced

>GTAV
>Fallout 4
>Dragonball Fighter Z

Screencap it.

Bethesda will talk about doom and Skyrim being a success on switch. They'll give a solid release date for Wolfenstein and then announce Fallout 4 with Vault Boy bobblehead amiibo

whatever it takes to remind miyamoto that pic related still fucking exists and is C O M P L E T E D

More insight on games that have only had teasers so far

MHXX localization, I want both World and Double Cross, damn it

Damn son, might as well not watch anymore Direct at this point.

Doubt any of those except MAYBE DBFZ, Switch will probably will get one of those GTA side stories if it's lucky

>>expectations
It's gonna be alright
>>hopes
I hope we'll see footage of new games. In particular, I would like to see new IPs.
>>wildest dreams
Viewtiful Joe

I go to directs with 0 expectations, because I know that nothing from my list will make it.
But there is always hope, and autism

Nothing weird there. That's what we pay for games here all the time. lol

I forgot about Kid Icarus. I really hope they make a sequel too. Too much to hope for probably.

>expectations
No More Heroes Trailer, release date, and a release of indie games associated with it on the Switch.
Animal Crossing on the Switch in any way, shape, or form.
Virtual Console.

>hopes
Not too sure, honestly. Anytime I think I want something, I'd rather be surprised.

>wildest dreams
Bayonetta + No More Heroes crossover

>Doom
>Skyrim
>Wolfenstein
>All on switch
>Doubts Fallout 4

How and why would you doubt this?

>Footage of Pokemon for switch that completely blows me out of the water and makes me believe that the series is getting an exciting reboot rather than essentially the 3DS games but in HD (something like BotW but with Pokemon roaming around would be dope, of course with a smaller map and much more depth and content)
>Advance Wars sequel
>new FFT game for the switch (please god)
>new harvest moon

Another expectation for me is that they have akiko kuroda presenting bayo 3

user, harvest moon for the switch is already in development. And it's a port of a mobile game

>port of a mobile game
its trash then
mobile games always have trash controls, and a port to conventional stick controls will definitely be unintuitive and gay

Because I believe that they are going to assess the sales of Wolfenstein and Doom first, if Wolfenstein does well then Switch gets Fallout 4.

Well yea, EA's document and also amazon, listing like 18 tirles "just announced at nintendo direct

>expectations
Show off more for Kirby, Yoshi, Octopath Traveller and Fire Emblem that will all come out in 2018. There will be a small teaser for the new pokemon. Lots of third party stuff and indies. Tons of ports. Xenoblade X, maybe smash bros. One surpise in the end, something like animal crossing or Pikmin I guess.
>hopes
New Ace Attorney. Or, even better, a fucking translation for the great ace attorney.
>wildest dreams
New Action Adventure IP by Retro Studios
A new Donkey Kong Country Returns from monster games
Uchikoshi's new Project Psync isn't shit and has an actual budget. Captures the spirit of 999.
Playtonic games put their shit together and make an actual good plattformer for the switch.

>A new Donkey Kong Country Returns from monster games

This is the first direct im going into with absolutely no hype or expectations.

So I can't be disappointed. But I KNOW some big things will be shown. They expect 20 million units sold from march 2018 to march 2019 so they have something up their sleeves

youtu.be/NPXSaRjDi1Q
See it yourself, I don't think it looks THAT BAD, but maybe because I'm eager for a new harvest moon.
Everyone here hates it, though

Nintendo Switch Event*

Could be anything, just placeholders so that they can put it up for pre-order as soon as possible and the picture they used comes straight from last year's event.

>>they'll only show games that no sane adult would ever play because they're mindnumbingly easy, like Yoshi and Kirby
>hopes for AC
lol
I want AC more than anything elseexcept maybe new F-Zero and AW

Holy fuck that looks garbage. Mobile games can look much better than that, but this just screams free mobile kusoge tier. the visuals, the UI, everything looks like every free to play mobile game out there.

I'd rather play stardew valley.

My wildest dream is that the direct is so good, that it completely silences the Soyny shitposting on this board for a good 2 hours after airing.

New IP, generally good shit

Good new IP, great AC and a new Smash
>wildest dreams
A mature rated sci-fi RPG

See, but AC games are not beating a level
If a game's only purpose/goal is to beat its levels and if you can literally just walk through any level without a modicum of challenge, the game is boring.

not sure about monster, so you're probably right. also, I'm sure at this point retro is big enough to be able to dev two games at once. something new and a DK.

So the Marcus Sellars guy is saying that DQXI will be the first game announced at the Direct,GTA V, Fighterz will be ported to Switch

And 3DS will get a Zelda game

Thoughts?

Isn't that the same guy who said there'd be a Namco event on December 15 where Dark Souls Remastered and Xenosaga HD would be announced?

That zelda game disproves it.

as long as that isn't ALL the direct has to offer, that should be nice.

>expectations
Amiibo and Shovelwares, with a few actually good games in there

>hopes
Pokemon Gen 8, Smash port, new model

>wildest dreams
MHXX localization, MHW and MH4U ports

user, you know damn well that's never going to happen. ANY company could have the best conference known to man, and the 12 year old console war shitters on this board would still find a way to shitpost about it.

He said that there would be an event. And there was. Unfortunately it was a behind-closed-doors event, so we learned nothing.

Nintendo fixing the wifi range to be as strong as the 3DS' so people can finally play Splatoon without being disconnected every 5 minutes

>some games are coming to the switch whose titels are not yet revealed
how is this a leak you fucking faggot we all knew that more games would come to the switch

user, we have the power to silence those threads with a single meme. WHIRRR posting.

Either that or just post shadman pictures. That seems to work well also.

>retro is big enough to be able to develop two games at once
They can't even make one game at once. It has been 4 years since their last game and we haven't even seen what they're working on.

That's not a normal schedule, so something has obviously gone wrong. Probably scrapped projects and pitches that Nintendo shot down. What a fucking shitshow it must be at Retro. And their last game was great, too.

If it's good the Sony fanboy reaction will just be more intense to compensate

placeholder prices

Pikmin FUCKING 4. Pic related is that game in a meta sort of way.

Also a new DKC and Mario & Luigi game would be GOAT

say it with me

P i k m i n

How did I do?

I'm so glad we came up with WHIRRposting. Sony soyboys latched onto it without hesitation, and it's been a roller-coaster of entertainment ever since.

It's dead, Arlo. Just let it rest in peace already

I hope that they announce an achievment system so I can buy the switch

>caring about achievements
why?

>Expectations

They are going to announce something to shill paid online a bit more. My guess is a new social media and Virtual Console.

If Smash4 is being ported like much of Sup Forums seems to think, it will be announced on this Direct. If it is a new iteration, then probably E3 announcement.

Pikmin 4 and Fire Emblem footage

Some big third party announcement, probably a port. Final Fantasy 14

>Hopes

I wish they announce some big game before March. I am about to run dry.

>Wildest dreams

Smash and Pokemon are the two more hyped options for everyone, but my wildest dream is a good Fire Emblem or Advance Wars

Games are pretty pointless to play without an achievement system.

Arbitrary goals for Autists to waste time on and justify the purchase of their impractical game-playing box.
>But muh redeemable points

Vidya achievements are also pointless.

Achievments are a must for today standards, there is nothing negative about them and a lot of positive things

>a lot of positive things
Like what? It's not like they reward the player with extra content when collected. They're the video game equivalent of Boy Scout patches or class stickers.

I'm glad there's no achievements because I'm an autist and will hunt down 1000 AIDS crystals if I get a sticker for it

Cheevos are coming like it or not, is just a matter of time.

How about a new M&L game?

>Implying class stickers are pointless

We've had enough of those for a lifetime, get Alpha Dream to work on something new.
