I mean they have enough stuff lined up to fill the time so yeah I am not expecting many new things to be shown
Definitely gonna see Majoras Mask, MH4U, Xenoblade, Project Steam etc..
I am hoping for Bravely Second, FF Explorers and a long shot of Dragon Quest

The op should be kept up until it ends, but I'm not sure if it will. Things never happen as they should.

But what if they announce a super special limited edition Majora's Mask New 3DS that will be sold out 30 minutes after the show and that you are going to miss due to your blackout? Will you be able live with that loss? Will you ever able to sleep at night again?

You know what would really sell a Metroid game (other than it being a new Metroid game), release it as a new3DS exclusive. That's how!
So instant release of New 3DS, F-Zero GX on gamecube Virtual console and new info for MK8, Smash and Captain Toad DLC ?
Fatal Frame Wii U localization, Yokai Watch localization and new amiibo wave with Ganondorf, Pacman and Duck Hunt ?
FExSMT trailer ?
"Fuck this shit, Link is now a girl " ?
Ok !

I just wrote a piece yesterday about what to expect from the first Direct of the year and I wake to find that it's happening tomorrow.
THE HYPE IS REAL.
I really hope we get some cool surprises. Fingers crossed for a new Metroid and a release date for Mario Maker.

I would have to, as there is no way in hell i would even order it at work. Besides, i'm still happy with my OG launch aqua blue, not enough funds to buy another console (yeah, selling my kidney isn't an option GAF).

Don't you dare do this to me. My heart can't take it. I don't even want to buy this game, but I will for this.

I've done that before but with varying results. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it lags. Last time I think their Twitch channel worked really well.
Nintendo life does it if I remember right

I'm in the same situation and I know for sure I'll wait, although it's going to be hard. I've previously done what you suggest and I can tell you is way more frustrating and definitely not the same as experiencing it first hand.

You can watch it through the Internet App on your Wii U. It's pretty easy to use, and I mostly watch most of my live streams this way.

That would be nice, but I think it would also be wishful thinking for this particular presentation. I think they are already jam-packed with things to talk about given the time-frame that they usually have.
I'm expecting them to announce/remind people about the New 3DS, talk a bit about Monster Hunter and other upcoming 3DS releases (like Monster Hunter, tLoZ: MM and the Xenoblade port), show off a bit of Wii U's Xenoblade, perhaps give a closer estimate of when they plan to release it and that's a wrap. Anything more than that would be nice, but unlikely I'd say.

Lol just as ModBot closed that thread yesterday! That would have been hilarious to see unfold
Aside from the obvious predictions (MH4/MM3D/New 3DS release date, amiibo wave 4, Captain Toad/Yoshi amiibo support etc), I'm gonna throw one other thing into the mix that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
Collectible Badge Catcher.
I think this has been available in Japan for about a month or so, and I'm surprised it still hasn't shown up in NA/EU. I don't even think a lot of gaffers are aware of its existence..?
This application is like crack. Pure Nintendo crack. It's a UFO catcher game where the prizes are collectible "badges" that function as decorative stickers on your HOME screen. There are all kinds of different sets available, from Animal Crossing to classic Mario, to Zelda ALBW, even Mario Kart. They also come with matching themes. (Unfortunately it costs money to play, but you get a chance of getting free plays every day)
Here's some examples of what you can do with them (yes there are even functional badges for the Settings, Streetpass Plaza, Activity Log, etc. icons)
I think they'll announce this in the Direct. Could even be a "It will be available to download right after the Direct ends" thing like they usually do.

I'm only basing that speculation on the YouTube trailer they uploaded after the reveal, since it has a higher frame rate option, and they have been saying that there will be N3DS-exclusive features to some games.

so we'll see a trailer of xenoblade chronicles x
i hope we'll get a release date
NOTE: Xenoblade Chronciles is a New 3DS exclusive game. They will talk about this. For once, it's not an automatic Xenoblade X confirmation. It could be "just" Xeno 3DS.
It's way too early for that. We never know the duration until a few hours before.

Spring is everything between now and E3, in Nintendo terms.
So, we could potentially be getting Xenoblade X in that six month window. If so, even if there's no release date in tomorrow's Direct; Xenoblade, Splatoon, and Yoshi's Woolly World are all safe bets for new trailers and likely some solid release timing.

No way is this a hint of things to come. It can't be.

I agree
They are typically pretty conservative with directs that aren't tied to trade shows
