Is that before or after they announce the Link's Awakening remake/sequel for 3DS?

This may seem a silly question but can I open this thread tomorrow and open Direct video from 1st post and enjoy Reggie an co. without spoilers. During E3 I hide in basement for a week because I sincerely still want to be suprised.

Please announce something non shit for once! I'm seriously regretting buying a Switch at this point. A Metroid Prime trilogy would be good but Nintendo have a habit of making awful decisions. If they choose a Skyward Sword remake over the Prime Trilogy I am going to off myself.

There are so many great games to play on Switch, though. Like, I'm personally waiting for Shakedown Hawaii later this spring, which I don't see anyone else posting about. There's better games already available than an MP Trilogy, which I hope gets announced. Just saying, fill the void with some games that play great on this system. Pick up Doom or Wolfenstein if you don't already have them.

Oh, they’ll definitely announce a 3DS remake of Link’s Awakening.

Not Link’s Awakening DX mind you, just Link’s Awakening.

It’ll have the graphics of Link Between Worlds, but everything will be completely in shades of puke green, with no exceptions and no settings to change it. All audio will be compressed rips from the GB original.

During the ending scene of Link looking with wonder at the sky, The clouds will spell out “Fuck You”.

No analog stick support, amirit? Forced to use the buttons on the Joycon or the poor D-pad on the pro controller.... smh ffs.

EDIT: Wait, you said for 3DS... Relief.

It will be 11pm here and I am wondering if it is going to be worth staying up that long for.
The last directs were not.

Nah, go to bed and have a sweet dream about what you hope you will be announced. Cold, hard disappointment can wait until you wake up tomorrow.

Could we hear about that unannounced Switch game that "fans would be delighted to know"?

Probably not.

would be cool

"Delighted" is the key word here. Which gamesn can make you be delighted? Certainly not a Zelda, FZero, Metroid that would be "excited" ie. It seems to me it would be something more mellow Animal Crossing or Mario related.

Are there any leaks or reddit rumors about what we could expect? Fingers crossed for gen 8 Pokémon, even if just a tease.

I’m 33, and something tells me i will feel like a madman tomorrow when i look like a zombie at work,

Haha. Same here.

We're living the crazy life mate. Staying up until almost midnight to watch video game announcements.

Shuffling into work at 8am like an extra from The Walking Dead and people are like "wild night last night"? Thinking you've been boozing and partying on a week night.

Hell yeah, fuckin party animal over here, staying up to see if Metroid Prime Trilogy is coming in "Summer 2019". :)

A spoiler free thread you say? Maybe R Raph64 help you out?

Since when is 23.00 late? Its only 35 minutes.

Though, i am an outlier and usually stay up far later than that. Going to bed at 23.00 is not a usual thing for me.

I like how you're thinking, but also keep in mind we're working from a translation of a reporter's takeway from a Nintendo presentation. It's unclear to me whether the reporter (Takashi Mochizuki of the WSJ) himself provided the translation.

Below 30, but i am just a general nightwalker. But i can sleep whenever :p
Besides the age there are also other factors to consider (though I also an above-30 senior citizen): when do you get out for your job, and, pretty big: Do you have young children. Our little boy makes sure I am awake at 5:00. Watching a video at 23:00 is then seriously cutting down my rest time. However, since Yoshi's Crafted World and Fire Emblem (therefore, two of my biggest three most wanteds this year) are probably going to be there, I will do the crazy thing this time.

Is this a question or a statement?

I usually fall tired at 1.30, but if i need to work, obviously ill sleep accordingly with no problems if i need to wake up at 5.30 or 6.30.

I also wake up earlier then in advance so i can do my morning routine all relaxed with no rushes.

It's a rethorical question to consider when it comes to the time one should probably go to bed. 1:30 is pretty late actually, I think, if you have standard work hours. But if you can live with only few hours of sleep, that's of course great, that's like a couple of extra years of active life :).

I've learned my lesson about making plans around Nintendo announcements. It's not that they've ever been bad, but sometimes my expectations weren't in check and I've come away disappointed. Nintendo set a really high bar at the launch of the Switch, and I started expecting them to meet that high bar. While it's not an impossible bar to meet, they are one publisher and sometimes publishers don't live up to the high water mark all the time.

Thankfully, they don't delete the Direct after it has aired. We can all watch at our leisure.
 
Funny thing came into my mind:

Fire Emblem: Three houses
Pikmin 3
Metroid prime trilogy
Luigi’s Mansion 3
Bayonetta 3
Spyro Trilogy
Assassin’s creed 3 Remaster
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

The direct duration will be 35mins

The 3 direct.

Ah!! Now I get it. There won't be a Klonoa 2 remaster, but we'll get Klonoa 3 instead!

....why do I always become a fan of these franchises that go completely and utterly belly-up with not a sliver of hope of being revived. Someone smack me.

In standard work hours i tend to keep at 23.30. :p These are weekend times, but i can go as late as 3.00. That's usually the moment my tank really runs out, always at 3.00.
 
Would be sweet to see Endless Ocean, Excite Truck, maybe a 3D Kirby, or even a proper return to a 3D Donkey Kong game.

A couple GameCube ports would be nice--Zeldas, maybe Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario TTYD

A couple indies I'm looking forward to also are Soundfall, and Elli

 
Hmm.

Obviously Fire Emblem since that is known.
MP3T would be nice
Maybe a MK Kharacter reveal and first look at it on Switch?
Cue third party indie real

Would love:
F-Zero [as always]
Wave Race

Usually even if a direct's date is leaked the games tend to be a surprise,it's as if Nintendo leak little bits of info on purpose to mess with us. ;)

I am going with.

StarFox F-Zero racing game
New Pokemon mainline reveal
Mario Maker 1 or 2
Metroid Trilogy HD
Super Mario Re-master
Pikmin 3 or 4
Assassins Creed compilation
Luigi's Mansion 3

I would love a glimpse of the new Animal crossing game.

Yeah that's another point, we'll see, just a couple of hours left
 
I would love to see the new Pokémon generation revealed but it seems a bit too soon for that. It'd eclipse Fire Emblem and other games. Still crossing my fingers.

If they show RE4 will be the most milked game in history ever.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Mario Maker 2!
