All global rules apply as usual, but we'll also be using the Ultimate forum guidelines.

https://smashboards.com/threads/sup...-rules-and-guidelines-read-this-first.446330/

Specifically, please keep the following in mind:

• -Please report any posts that violate any of the rules. Don't reply to spam or respond to obvious flame/trollbait.
• -No media-only/textless posts. Posting reactions is fine during the Direct/any reveals themselves. Large images and potential leaks should be spoilered ( )
• -No low effort ****posts. Jokes are in fact fine, but keep in mind all of the other rules (even if it's "obvious" you were kidding, you may still be warned if it detracts from the topic).
• -No blatantly fake leaks that you yourself made up or came upon. These will be warned without question.
• -Expressing disappointment is allowed, but flaming other users out of spite will not be tolerated. Just because you yourself don't find something exciting doesn't mean no one else will.
• -Should it happen a character/game is confirmed/disconfirmed, absolutely no flaming will be tolerated. Doing so will be infracted harsher than usual. Don't rub salt in the wounds.

 

[Dixie Kong]

Let’s go Dixie and Banjo!!

 

[Deleted member]

YES!!! Let's go!

 

[Rie Sonomura]

[aggressively crosses fingers for Isabelle and Elma]
...
[ok fine Waddle Dee and Black Shadow too]

 

[IsmaR]

I'm hoping if we're getting the official title drop for Yoshi Switch (that was leaked already), we can at least get a title drop/first look for Metroid Prime 4.

I'm also thinking there might be a Splatoon 2 announcement to go with the already datamined update.

I hope Elma gets in too man. Xenoblade deservies a new rep.

 

[PeridotGX]

Prediction: Dixie Kong (36e) and Isabelle (45e) revealed in-between the 3DS and Switch transition, and Bandana Dee (68) revealed at the end.

Unrelated to Smash, but I'm also calling a new PMD.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Viridi echoes for everyone

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I'm hoping if we're getting the official title drop for Yoshi Switch (that was leaked already), we can at least get a title drop/first look for Metroid Prime 4.

I'm also thinking there might be a Splatoon 2 announcement to go with the already datamined update.

As much as I'd like to see a Prime 4 name drop or first look, that feels like something that would be saved for the 2018 Game Awards or E3 2019.

 

[Deleted member]

Who do you think will be revealed tomorrow? My money's on either Issac or Lycanroc.

 

[AzureFlame4]

Pikmin 4, Animal Crossing, Mother trilogy, Castlevania collection, new Ice Climbers game, new Zelda, new Luigi's Mansion in the style of the first or even a new Star Fox are all announcements that can make me happy. I only need one.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Outside of Smash, I hope we get a better idea of what Yoshi's new game is (and why it was delayed so long) and maybe some more info on that rumored Mario Kart 8 extra content.

 

[PsySmasher]

I'm summoning Elma and Bandana Dee into Smash... with my mind.

Outside of Smash, I'm hoping for a good chunk of 1st party announcements (especially since E3 gave us Super Mario party and.... nothing else).

 

[Deleted member]

Outside of Smash, I hope we get a remake for Link's Awakening on the 3ds titled "A Hero's Awakening" or something like that. That'd be awesome. May not happen, but it'd be awesome.

 

[TBone06]

If they start the show with a Smash reveal, I think we get two new characters. I also think we get at least one Echo. If we don't get a reveal at the beginning, I think we only get one unique, and one echo.

 

[PeridotGX]

Outside of Smash, I hope we get a remake for Link's Awakening on the 3ds titled "A Hero's Awakening" or something like that. That'd be awesome. May not happen, but it'd be awesome.

Maybe call it Link's Reawakening?

Also, I have a very out there sorta prediction for another FE Remake, of either FE5 (Leif's Game) or FE6 (Roy's)

Its gonna be a longg night/ day. lol Imma try not to think about it. till after lunch tomorrow.

 

[Ra-Ha-Horakhty]

I hope I don't die of hype before this darn thing releases!

 

[Opossum]

I had to adjust my old bingo card due to some announcements, so there are a lot more hard calls here.

Waluigi is the Free Space because WAA.


Mainly hoping for a good Smash newcomer and another trailer for Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

 

[SquashiniKun]

Here's a list of the stuff i'm hoping for in this direct.
Smash:
Newcomer Reveal
Echo Reveal
New Stage
Teaser of Spirits Mode
Date for the next Smash Direct

Not Smash:
Information about online
Menu Themes
More ****ing Wii U Switch Ports
Bayonetta 3
Star Allies Dream Friends Wave 3
Gamecube Games coming to switch
Tomodachi Life 2
Animal Crossing Switch
New Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Game
Digimon Survive Localization
Shin Megami Tensei V
Persona Q2 Localization
Persona 5
Danganronpa Trilogy

Gonna post my bingo card soon

 

[TheCJBrine]

Other than Smash:

-Pikmin 4
-Mother / Earthbound Trilogy
-NEW ICE CLIMBER GAME LET'S GO
-N64 Classic

Smash:

-Skull Kid and/or Banjo-Kazooie reveal
-I'm not really expecting much else other than a newcomer reveal, aside from maybe online stuff

 

[kylexv]

Smash Related:

We'll probably see Skull Kid or Isaac. Of course, I may be wrong.

Not Smash:

Hoping we see stuff about Pikmin 4 and/or Wave 3 of Kirby DLC. We really don't know much about what Nintendo has in store for next year other than FE and Yoshi, so I'd like to see what they have.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Besides me wanting Phosphora, a Monster Hunter hunter, or Medusa, I'm curious if there will be talk of DLC quests for MonHun Gen Ultimate since the game's been out for a little bit now. I won't be expecting much though not just because of my picky nature, but it's technically not a Smash direct. Won't stop me for hoping for something to be talked about Smash from there though. Even something as info on some characters we don't have much info on or something would help.

 

[SlayQueen]

Please, please, please announce Dixie Kong tomorrow.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

I see people lifting their hopes up for a Smash character, but let's not forget that Smash had a direct last month and they may want to focus on other stuff here, so it's possible that they may not even bring up Smash.

 

[Heatswave]

Prediction: Dixie Kong (36e) and Isabelle (45e) revealed in-between the 3DS and Switch transition, and Bandana Dee (68) revealed at the end.

If that happens, the game is absolute perfection for me...
However, I try to keep down my hype, only expecting one unique newcomer (probably Pokemon rep) at the most.
Besides Smash I hope for more info on Metroid Prime 4 and finally a new Animal Crossing.

 

[TreeBranch]

I figure I'd post my smash predictions here just in case I get incredibly lucky and guess correctly. Also that won't happen because it's heavily biased

I believe a Rhythm Heaven rep, Bandana Dee, and Isabelle are being revealed tomorrow. I think this direct will have the non ballot (relevant) choices, so that's why I went with Rhythm Heaven. It could also be Elma or the next Pokemon, but as I said, I'm biased. I would've put Skull Kid, as he has the chairs and the room hint applied for the very next direct last time, so this is is best shot. I chose Bandana Dee instead because, while a popular pick, I just see him happening now. Isaac's less popular, but only really geared towards smash fans. I'd bet a lot more people watching a general direct would know Bandana Dee. Skull Kid could just as easily happen, but I'm still iffy on his chances. I would say it's really between those two. There's always a chance the chair evidence was all a coincidence, so I'm hesitant to put him in my predictions. I wouldn't be surprised if he happens tomorrow though. Finally, I went with Isabelle because I believe we are getting the reveal of the next animal crossing tomorrow. It would be the perfect game to talk about online with. She'll also likely be an echo, so she could just be announced casually during Animal Crossing's segment.

 

[Nap_]

My bet:
Smash: Just one fighter, put my money on Isaac
Details about the online services.
Bayo 3 or Metroid 4 trailer. One of them.
Indies / third party roll.
Mario Kart 8 DX DLC.
3DS known games, plus something new, a little new title.

 

[SuperPhil64]

They've already revealed K.Rool & Ridley so at this point the only characters they could reveal that would top that would be Geno/Banjo.
At this point I'm just excited to see the new CG trailer whoever it may be.

Also hopefully a Dixie echo reveal.

I'm absolutely certain they're not gonna announce three new characters in a general Direct.

 

[Frizz]

With Gen 7 coming to a close, you'd think we'd have a new Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game that incorporates the new Pokemon by now. If they wait until Gen 8 to make one, we won't be seeing a new PMD installment for a while.

 

[domriver]

*pulls up a chair*

 

[RineYFD]

CHOO CHOO!!
It's that time once again ladies and gentleman!
Nintendo Direct predictions:

[TreeBranch]

I'm absolutely certain they're not gonna announce three new characters in a general Direct.

Yeah lol. Just my wishful thinking. I'm pretty sure we'll get 1 newcomer and maybe an echo at best

 

[SquashiniKun]

Here's my bingo card

Sorry if it looks sideways

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

God, there's just so much I want to see... I cant even put it all together right now.

 

[Deleted member]

Boy here we go. Hopefully my internet doesn't die during this.

 

[Blargg888]

I'm ready for anything!

Only 30 seconds to go!

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

NOW THATS A HELL OF A WAY TO OPEN A DIRECT! LUIGI'S MANSION 3!
