That's an European leak. You should look at how long it took for SMTIV to be released there. A NA announcement without an European counterpart wouldn't be surprising.

Do you think we will get new info on pokken?
And as usual Nintendo has been known to show off a game or two outside of the focus period.

If many Wii U games get pushed to NX then I will definitely feel this way.
Xenoblade Chronicles X has a good chance of being ported to NX.
Smash 4 getting ported has a very high chance of being a NX launch game.
Heck, even Splatoon might get a port for NX before the inevitable sequel's release.
Zelda Wii U being pushed to NX as a launch game can also happen.
Even a more complete edition of Pokken Fighters for NX can happen.
I just don't see anything other than Smash Bros and Zelda being ported. But I don' know. I'm basing that off on rumors(Smash) and history (Zelda).

I like how at this point everyone want NX to have an entire Wii U library, ported and remastered. Speaks a lot about the quality and reception of actual Wii U games.

Naw, I think we are going to get Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 9. For Smash NX, we have no clue but according to the rumor, it's likely that it might be port by Namco Bandai.
To be honest, if Smash NX is 100% straight port from Wii U then I might not buy it right away because I already have Wii U and Smash U.

Come 1 hour, 2 hours, before the direct, the hype will grow.
The software isn't the problem. The system itself is the main issue, as it was like poison for both the casual & hardcore audiences.
Zelda Wii U wouldn't be better without the NX version, also most people liked more Zelda TP on Gamecube because of the controller, this could be the same with the Gamepad (which was great in WW).
People want Wii U games without buying a WiiU, I've noticed a lot of the sentiment.

It's lower because people just want to hear about NX, not stuff we already know about announced games on old consoles.
Spoiler alert
You're just going to drop the ending of the game without a spoiler warning?

I get that it's goofy as hell and doesn't really reveal anything, but it's still the ending :/

5PM EST is such a weird time to be doing this.

As it should be, what are we going to expect that is Big and wont be revealed/talked about at E3 anyways?
Better to keep the hype down a bit than to be massive dissapointment for the last Direct before the big reveal of the new system(S)

Nobody is screaming for Mario Party 10 or Yoshi's WW or Kirby's Epic Yarn to be ported to NX. Wii U has great exclusives... then there are exclusives that have VERY mixed reception.

Copied someone else's pancake recipe
Release donkey kong country returns: Corruption, followed by donkey kong trilogy down the line.
I mean, that's how I feel about xbox 1. If a wii u and its games aren't worth the money to you, you're entitled, as a consumer, to wait for the price to reach a level with which you're comfortable, even if that wait is 15 years. It's the publisher's job to make the wii u a good value to a consumer, not the other way around. Nintendo clearly did not make the wii u a good enough value for most consumers.
Mercurysteam just posted on twitter that their last project is going to be shown really soon...
They are even asked if they are working with Nintendo, but they tell to wait a little bit. Metroid incoming!? (let me dream
)

Things will probably escalate the closer we get to the direct, as always. But yeah there's significantly less traffic this time, direct hype threads usually crack 100 pages.

I wouldn't be surprised if #FE follows Zelda U and becomes multiplat with NX really.
I know, the dead horse has been beaten over and over again, but it would make a lot of sense.
The WiiU is a poor fit for the game, the Fire Emblem fanbase is on handhelds and a big (apparently really good) JRPG would make for a fine launch window title, because nothing short of DQ11 would be ready.

Well, let's hope it's nintendo related, but I'm not counting on it. I guess they're free of konami's shackles, so they'll need a new publisher, but that image doesn't look like anything nintendo related, so it's probably a new IP for PS4/XB1 would be my guess.
New single player campaign. Pull a halo 2 and make octolings playable. More weapons/stages/modes. Standard sequel stuff, really.
I'd just hope for a sequel at this point. Use zelda wii u as the basis for new content.

Mercurysteam is a pretty awful dev.
The Lords of Shadow series is a bastardization of Castlevania

Just port everything to NX im right?
Nobody wants that. The 3DS game gave us a view of 2D action and yeah... I'd rather avoid that.lol, im not sure Metroid by Mercurysteam is what you really want
And that tweet doesn't say much hehe.
Take out the castlevania aspect and lords of shadow 1 was a pretty decent god of war clone. Only problem was pacing, but it was really fun and well-made.

Well, after the Pokemon Sun/Moon leak and subsequent Direct with no footage, I think expectations are pretty low.
But this will happen in the hour leading up to the Direct - as it always does;

I'll lose my mind from excessive hype. Pikmin 3 is one of the all time GOATS of all the times, and I'm sure Pikmin 4 would be just as good if not better

Well but to be honest the first Lords of Shadows was the best 3D Castelevania ever.
And if Nintendo actually would work with them they would look that they don't produce trash.

Well they do have their qualities, and LOS 2 had an story of troubled development, with Nintendo supervising and a bit of work they could get out an interesting good game, but Metroid? that does not quite fit at all. specially when people want Retro to work again.
A new ip would be nice, i just dont see MS touching any of Nintendos known franchises.

They have to get the NX-folks ready for Fire Emblem Musou afterall !
I would be beyond ecstatic. I absolutely adore Pikmin and regardless of what platform it's on, I just want a new game after the bloody fantastic Pikmin 3.

I'm going into this Direct with a strange mix of hype and pre-disappointment--but not because of the alleged leak, which is a picture of a folder in Windows. A trademark getting filed could just as well be coincidence.
Aaaanyway, it's probably for the best that people are prepared to be annoying/disappointed with something in the Direct, because anything can happen. Of course, hype knows no limits, so the meltdowns will at least be entertaining.

I'm still prepared to be disappointed about Zelda. I want Zelda news so badly. I'd take JUST new Zelda news and be happy. ;_;

Wait... I though Yoshi's Woolly World was very well-received, way better than Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush. In fact, it's probably the best Yoshi game since the SNES one.
Also, I don't know why you've mentioned Kirby's Epic Yarn. It's a Wii game, it's amazing and I will be down for an HD remaster sometimes in the future. (But first, Wario Land: The Shake Dimension HD.)
I... dunno? I'm pretty happy with the first Splatoon (at least until the online playerbase dies, which'll happen eventually, I guess). I only expect a sequel possibly so soon because Splatoon did so well and Nintendo wants the NX to sell.

Hopefully they show a little bit of the upcoming new Zelda. It's okay if they do the blowout at E3 but we deserve a fucking trailer for that game. We waited nearly 2 years and got nothing. It's really idiotic they don't show that game...

Those are third party
Expect what they announced, details about summer games. Than you will be fine.

I think they'd be stupid not to have anything about Pokken. But Nintendo has made more questionable decisions before.
I really would like a post-release plan from them on this game.
