Here's the first announcement of tomorrow I guess
:/
At least, I want some eShop titles. It's realistic to want Denpa Men or HarmoKnight, right?

I thought it'd be realistic to get Animal Crossing in 2012. Always assume the worst/most stupid. In this case, Paper Mario release date and making a huge fuss over a title Japan got nearly 2 years ago (Prof. Layton)

I was talking more of Nintendo published stuff. All they have announced for between now and Christmas is Layton at the moment.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
I was under the impression that this didn't take place for another three hours....
I just finished class then.
My bad. Wasn't clear... or do I have the time wrong?

3 hours, yeah.

Come on, son
Two of those titles will be brought to Europe by NoE for sure...
Like retail downloads of older first party games (see: Japanese ND from a few days ago)
They're gonna pimp the holiday lineup and show some more Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem.
I'd really love them to announce Project X Zone coming over, though...

I don't really see the point when we likely won't get those games until well into 2013.
Well, Ace Attorney 5 is already confirmed to have a US and EU release. There is no question that we will see Layton 6 in the West as well and because of this it's also very likely that PLvAA gets a translation.

Digital releases for older retail titles instead of VC and a date for Paper Mario instead of Bravely Default.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Nintendo Australia sent out an email about this, so we should be getting local dates too.
End of the year is looking pretty grim. I think Paper Mario is the only game coming out that I want

Two hours from this post, for those unsure.
What else is there, though? Fire Emblem might come as early as January, we need to know if Paper Mario still makes it out this year in Europe and what we can expect from Animal Crossing. They could also talk about Luigi's Mansion again. There will definitely be talk about Epic Mickey 3DS. Maybe some of the color variations from Japan for the XL.
They won't be dropping random bombs out of nowhere without a Japanese ND to go along with that.
That long-rumored GBA stuff for eShop is something they'll bring next year, in my opinion. It will definitely come, it's just a question of when.
Pleasant surprised would be western confirmations of some of the interesting Japan-only games.

Let's face it, when has a wealth of content been a problem with Nintendo Direct? They'll spend half an hour talking about the WiiU port of Epic Mickey 2. We will all cry. Paper Mario will be hailed as the second coming. We'll cry some more.
We'll never get Harmo Knight, Bravely Default.
I also don't class poorly decorated 3DS's as news.
Why would they be talking about a Wii U game in a 3DS ND though?

Same here, let's hope they'll have a few interesting digital localisations.

I believe that game is too far out for what they usually show at these Nintendo Directs, but you never know.... though I personally would expect the first footage for that around the December Nintendo Direct.

So did Nintendo Germany.
There were rumblings of a January release for FE. I think it's likely. The game has been out for ages, they should be far along in the localization process.

AS someone who hasn't upgraded to the 3DS XL (but wants to), I would be happy to see if Nintendo will come out with more colors outside of Japan this year. The US colors are fine and I'll settle for them if I have to, but I would love a few more to choose from.

I can't remember a time where Nintendo released a game in January (in America or Europe). February or March seems much more likely.
Edit:
Endless Ocean and Days or Ruin were released at the end of January 2008.
Mario Sports Mix was released at the end of January 2011 (in EU)
Otherwise it is a very rare case.
I personally don't think either America or Europe will have a Nintendo Direct in December, unless it's some kind of special Nintendo Direct. They've always had these normal ones every four months and they're both expecting one this month, so it wouldn't be until February that they'd host another one again. Japan's the only one that has them every two months.

Last time I checked NOA isn't even having one this time. Both NOA and NOE are pretty sporadic with these things compared to NOJ which is always every two months. Not to mention this isn't even when the regular directs are scheduled to take place, that usually happens at the END of the month.
One way or another it doesn't seem likely for a Direct (right before the holiday season) to put a focus on a game coming next year. I would love to be wrong though.

That was the NSMB2 Nintendo Direct on the main page.
