I'd be glad to get Revelations, but like you mentioned below the post I quoted, there's no need to spend any significant time on the game. There's already a ton of information about the game so they would be better off to use the time on games we have no info on (W101, Lego City Undercover, Unannounced games, etc....).
Is it possible we get information on DLC from some of the launch games?

That's the point. They never do what they say.
It will be something that is technically new, like a port of a 3DS game with new features. That will be the only technically new game they show.

It airs at 10 AM here. Luckily I have an hour break between classes. I'm excited!

Hyperbole of course, but it's true. They bend the truth so often.

I'm not expecting megatons, but Nintendo has generally been fairly forthright about those NDs that focus on previously announced software.

Bayonetta 2 was not revealed at a Nintendo Direct and I don't know why people cite it as an incident of a big Nintendo Direct surprise. It was announced at a Wii U pre-launch press event. Just because it was streamed online does not put it up to the same standard as a Nintendo Direct. There's a big difference between a monthly pre-recorded e-stream, and a live stream event with a room full of invited press.

There were Nintendo Directs during the press event announcing the game.
iirc

Being realistic we're not going to hear about any top tier holiday releases. I'd expect some mid-tier titles due for the summer..maybe 3 new titles at best.
We're talking Yoshi, Fatal Frame (or an rpg)....maybe Endless Ocean 3....a Bayonetta 2 trailer if you're very lucky(but I'm doubtful).
They'll save the big stuff for E3...or a Japanese briefing after that.
Most of it will likely be about google maps,panorama view and already announced titles.

I believe the Japan and Europe per-recorded streams were the first to unveil Bayo 2 and MH 3G HD. The US was the only territory that had a live event.

Oh FFS. Just.. Hoping he knows nothing.

I will agree - Resident Evil 6 was a cringy, atrocious mess and shouldn't exist. With Revelations though, I couldn't help but feel the game was developed primarily for the sake of nostalgia. "Hey, lets include that old bathtub puzzle again, so old fans of the series will think Resident Evil has gone back to it's roots". That's the impression I got, anyway.

He said that someone hoping for like a dozen megatons may be disappointed.

He must know something, cause he said he doesn't know anything, so in turn he automatically knows something that we do not know.

that event was pretty much the NYC Reggie Event but there was a JP Nintendo Direct streaming at the very same time IFRC please double check this idea that we are wrong about this because I think the NYC event did announce it but that teaser was also on the ND stream
You always say this. Also, why would NintendoOE mention new games to announce if they know Crapcom will announce the RE game themself?

At the same time as the press event, the Japanese- and European divisions had a Direct for those.
I'd be happy enough if they'd show off smaller scale projects such as a new racing game by Monster. Or some kind of spinoff or minor series, that looks more exciting than that overpriced Nintendoland expansion pack in fake Warioware disguise. It's really the best you could hope for in a Direct.
There are differences among eaach and every Direct (Mini, Live, Recorder, and so on), but they are definetly calling "Direct" also the Wii U preview where they announced a lot of things Wii U related:

Ah yes, cheers for the reminder. I still don't associate this with a Nintendo Direct though, as that event served a very specific purpose. Similar to the Pokemon Direct actually, which aimed to provide a Pokemon announcement.
What I'm trying to say is I'm cynical of there being actually decent new game announcements.
Nintendo's definition of new games is "games that haven't been released yet."
Tomorrow will proceed as follows:
Resident Evil Revelaitons video + date
Aliens: Colonial Marines video + date
Rayman Legends video + date
LEGO City: Undercover video
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate video + date
Pikmin 3 video + q2 2013
Bayonetta 2 video
The Wonderful 101 video + q2 2013
Game & Wario video + date
and finally, saving the best for last and therefore taking up the most time...
Wii Fit U video and date!
end nintendo direct
I really doubt he would have any real idea on big announcements that are coming tomorrow.

Calling out people who have insane wishlists seems fair enough.
From that thread:
Yep. Seems like a reasonable expectation. lol
I disagree, I'm pretty sure they always do what they say. Sometimes the hype train reads too much into what they say, though, and they don't necessarily do what the hype train expects.
you forgot Wii Fit U fireworks show that will take 10 minutes!.
Is it just the internet effect or are you really bitter? I'm not saying that in the inflammatory, accusatory sense, you just come across very bitter about nintendo lately

Yet, afterwards people will still keep telling us that Nintendo has abandoned E3 and Direct is the new way to go. As always.

You just ruined the whole show, thanks. I wanted it to be a surprise bomb.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So is it confirmed that Direct will be only Nintendo-published?

Given E3 and other ND's I'd just say he's being realistic. As much as we'd love some awesome game and software announcements it's just better to keep our expectations in line with what's come before..
