I think you guys have false hope for a Direct next week. It's Nintendo. They don't do conventional thinking lol.
A few big surprises from 3rd parties is a fun thing to think about. I know that's not the topic, but if I had to guess:
-Ace Attorney 7
-Layton 8
-Something new from Capcom
-Kingdom Hearts Chi/Unchained/Union X remake
-A new atlus RPG
-Castlevania, somehow
As for news fairly soon, still sticking to next week or the week after. I think whatever the direct is gonna be will be pretty hefty, with more than one announcement.

All I need is some sort of Wii Sports type game and I'm set for 2019 lol
Well, that and a 2D Zelda

Don't forget the Chrono Trigger Direct said he was making a game for Switch in 2017. Whatever he's making could be great.
Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
;)
Not even funny...
But for real, they already said that it's a new "mainline" Animal Crossing game coming to switch. This was my first thought when AC was revealed.
Come on dude. If not even you believe in a Direct next week then it's really dark times :(
I expect the Zero Suit to show up somewhere in a larger capacity. Smash has shown to be a major pusher in characters. hell, the only reason people keep asking for a Captain Falcon Action game is because of Smash. a Zero Suit mode or whatever would make sense given how many fans it garnered through her playstyle
All I hope for in, terms of ports, is Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. I gave up on seeing Xenoblade Chronicles X ported but I still have hope for the Zelda games at least, even though it hasn't been teased anywhere by any insiders.
I was on team Feb 7th, but since you don't think it's happening next week, I am pretty sure it'll end being, hehe.
There's two sides on one hand I want to be right but on the other hand I want a direct sooner.
I have mixed feelings about the 2D Zelda game to be honest. I really want to be excited for it if it's coming but I didn't like either ALBW and BotW that much and I fear of the direction they might go with the new game...
I much rather have the Wii U ports or Skyward Sword HD instead, at least I already know I like those.

That's what I'm waiting for this next Direct for! Personaaaaaaaaa
Maybe I'm mistaken but wasn't a component of it always that the Switch port might be revealed after the initial tease?
I think a Direct within the next week is not surprising. The Metroid announcement seems to be made precisely because a Direct will drop soon and that Metroid fans would be upset if the Direct makes no mention of Metroid Prime 4 at all.
Seems like really terrible PR to me if they just made the Metroid announcement out of nowhere and then provide us with zero announcements for their 2019 lineup till March.

there's a persona event happening in a couple months (i think it's just a concert though?). that might be the last chance at a port
Yeah, in my mind I was like "they told us about Metroid Prime 4 this week to get the bad news out of the way first and then follow up with a Direct the week after. But who knows. I got plenty of games to play atm so I don't mind too much, but I am def starting to get a little anxious.
I'm firmly on Team Direct Next Week because I can't imagine that Nintendo will let that MP4 news linger without saying anything else for an entire month.
Like, imagine being in mid-February and the last piece of major Nintendo news you can recall is the MP4 apology video. That doesn't look good at all for this company, I'm guessing they'll want a Direct out there in part to mitigate the MP4 news.
Besides, if they do the Direct before the Investor Meeting, they can show all the dates for 2019 games reassuring investors after the Prime 4 announcement.
I'm also Team Direct Next Week but i'm worried because of the investor meeting coming up, they might instead announce a new Labo Toy-Con kit, or a trailer for Mario Kart Tour on January 31.
Paper Mario CS, Star Fox 0, Kirby rainbow curse, Mario Maker...actually quite a lot of games. My personal wishlist are Pikmin, 3D world and Maker. They are so so good, I really wish more people could play them. Pikmin 3 mission mode would also be perfect for some quick session on the go.
I think so. Context is important. There's really no other reason as to why they needed to make this announcement seemingly out of nowhere without a major Direct happening "fairly soon".
I don't believe in Mario Maker port. It's a level making game. Nintendo should have a sequel at this point. Something that's made and designed for the Switch without Gamepad
Yep, I'd be pretty disappointed in Nintendo if they announce a Mario Maker port at this point.
Yep, if Nintendo goes into its investors meeting with the only major update being Metroid Prime 4's substantial delay, it'll sour the otherwise great news Nintendo has to share.
It is a concert however I'm pretty sure announcements have been made at the event before.
Yep. It's embarrassing if they don't have a sequel. That's not hard. Add new areas and slopes. Add a world map to place levels on.
I hope this implies Japanese third parties are actually going to have some big, new games.
I wouldn't expect any RE Engine games (RE7, RE2R, DMC5, etc.) or MHW (Sony console exclusivity in Asia, lack of power) on the Switch, but games like Ace Attorney 7 & Mega Man X9 (neither are confirmed, but the former was rumored & the latter was hinted at) are safe bets for the Switch alongside ports of older Capcom titles.
If you want a motion sports compilation or something that's fine but "Wii X" series is dead.
You really believe Capcom won't find a way to put one of the most popular series in Japan on the most popular console in Japan?
Monster Hunter in general, yeah, it'll probably get another Switch entry eventually. MHW in particular will likely never see a Switch release for the reasons I mentioned.
