Some laptops use a similar concept with what are called eGPUs. In this case, the Switch will be the "laptop" while the super dock will serve as the "eGPU".

I think that would be a stupid move on Nintendos part for a few reasons.
Firstly we already have a 3D Mario game in that style on Switch in Odyssey and Odyssey is arguably a better game than Sunshine and in the same Mario genre (open levels, primary emphasis on collecting rather than platforming).
Secondly, 3D World would require a lot less work to port some it's a newer game and was played by few people due to the Wii U install base.
Thirdly, 3D World has a large multiplayer emphasis which would make it a perfect game for the Switch.
C'mon Nintendo! Do the right thing and port 3D World already!

These are the guys that released NSMBUDX & SMM2 5 months apart, Sunshine releasing 2 years after odyssey is nothing.

Switch USB-C does not have the bandwidth to support the data transfer rates necessary for an eGPU of that sort.

My Switch Lite arriving in a couple of weeks so I can finally be excited about Nintendo Directs again! It seems this one will focus on stuff we've already seen though? Nevertheless, happy with some updates.
If it's 40 minutes then I would expect a decent chunk of that to be dedicated to upcoming games.
Anything MAJOR that we haven't seen yet would have at best a 2 minute teaser.
If they have HD remasters or something on the way then maybe they will provide something more substantial but those would be November, December or 2020 releases for sure. Anything that has a physical edition would be October at the earliest, I think.
Some indies may drop "right now" but I think even these prefer not to do that since building hype towards release day is good marketing.
If I were to guess I would say Nintendo's BIG 2020 game will be Mario Kart so it's possible that we might get some short teaser clip.
Happy to be proven wrong but I think the majority of this direct will be Daemon x Machina, Dragon Quest, Pokemon and Luigis Mansion.
Nintendo, please give us any sort of news for our favorite hunter.
Metroid Prime Trilogy, Metroid Prime 4, or Samus Returns (Switch). What about a Metroid 2D collection? Metroid Maker? Anything?
Please - We neeeedz it...
Metroid Prime Trilogy has been rumored so much and for so long that they'd be mad to have not been working on it for about 2 years now.
That MUST be a physical release game though with the full "special edition" treatment. Can't imagine they would just drop it out of the blue.
For things with a large enough "hype" I refuse to believe that Nintendo are not at least looking into it. Mario Sunshine, MPT, Pikmin etc.
The characters included in Smash tends to line up with this. People wanted Ridley for so long, King K Rool for so long, Banjo Kazooie was one of the ones everyone was going nuts over.
For sure sometimes they will not be able to make something work but in general the audience tends to get what we want.

They said up front they are talking about 2019 games, which I would have expected anyway because now is not the time to hype anyone up for what's coming later.
This is purely to promote THIS holiday season. If we're really lucky they might sprinkle in a surprise, but this is just a long commercial for Q4 2019, not E3 lol.

I don't disagree but I have 3d on the wiiu and can play it anytime. I would love sunshine or galaxy in had. I haven't played those in years. I tried playing Sunshine but the n64 era gives me a headache with the poor view distance and blurry graphics.

Yep. It would have to be an entire second console with its own cartridge slot and everything. USB-C would just be for save data and charging.
It's kind of wasteful, but it would satisfy the people looking for a console only Switch, and Nintendo won't care if there's a change of talking the weak-willed (i.e. me) into double-dipping. Plus, it's also the only way you could "dock" with the Lite.
Think a Wii-sized budget console, released at $250 with a Pro Controller or $400 bundled with a Lite. Still not sure it's a good idea, mind, and any price to performance comparison with next gen consoles would be an absolute joke, but it should at least be feasible.

Yeah I can understand why you'd prefer a Galaxy or Sunshine port considering you have 3D World on Wii U already.
A lot of people missed out on that game though and it seems like an easy port for Nintendo to do, especially since it is a different kind of Mario game than Odyssey or NSMB.
A Galaxy 1 & 2 port would be amazing as well but I think Nintendo will save that towards the end of the Switch lifespan.

I dunno, but I'm happy about it. It'll be the first Direct in ages I might be able to watch as it drops over here in Japan.
Just noticed the tweet says they will focus on 2019 games.
So I think we'll most likely get a bunch of indie release dates and a few 3rd party release dates.
We are probably only getting one big Nintendo only announcement and that would surely be a remaster or Wii U port.
Mario Wii U Deluxe got a 11 January 2019 release date but the game was announced on 14 September 2018 (is that the Direct that was delayed because of some disaster in Japan?)
So you'd be looking at something MAYBE releasing in December at best.
Twilight Princess HD was announced in November 2015 and released on March 2016.
What I am saying is that anything like Mario Sunshine HD, Pikmin 3, Metroid Prime Trilogy and Xenoblade X etc would coming December at the very earliest.
No way there is a big release for 2019 still not announced.

Actually... I was curious so I went and had a cheeky look at last years September (13th) Direct.
(I hope nobody on the thread already did this)
It was 38 minutes and 12 seconds long.
Opened with Luigis Mansion 3 teaser.
Bunch of 3DS announcements.
Splatoon 2 update.
Megaman 11 - October 2 release (I believe this was known long before the Direct)
Mario Tennis update
Capcom Beat em up bundle - Sept 18 release.
NSMBU announcement and release date - 11 January 2019 (so about 4 months from release)
Katamari Damacy announce - Winter 2018 (this was digital only at first, I think)
Nintendo Online Blah blah blah
Pokemon Lets Go (already knew release special edition etc)
Diablo 3 - November 2 (this was already known)
Mario Party - October 5 (also already known)
THAT "TOWN" GAME FROM GAME FREAK! - "Available 2019" apparently
A whole bunch of games we already knew about. Nothing major.
Starlink (we already knew all about this).
Xenoblade expansion (we already knew about this one too, right?)
Warframe coming November 20th.
Another bunch of already known games.
Final Fantasy games.
Isabelle for Smash.
Animal Crossing 2019 tease.
I would expect more or less the same here.
We already know all the big stuff but we might see a small teaser trailer or two.
Anything digital only could drop at any time but I can't imagine those would be Nintendo games such as Metroid etc.

Pls Nintendo:
- Super Mario 3D World Deluxe - Super Mario 3D World is probably the next most likely Wii U port after Mario Kart/NSMB.
Pls Atlus:
- Shin Megami Tensei V - I just want an update. Is that too much to ask for?
Pls Blizzard:
- Overwatch - I think Overwatch will come to Switch eventually. Maybe not announced today but I think it's happening.
Pls CDPR:
- Gwent - Gwent would be amazing on Switch. I think CDPR might do it but maybe not until next year. They have Witcher 3 coming to Switch this year and also Gwent is coming to smartphones. I think if it does come to Switch it'll be in 2020.
I'd love to get some kind of info on "Breath of the Wild 2" but not holding my breath.

Just want that god damn Metroid Prime trilogy. Been having the first part for the Cube at home for some time now and desperately want to play it. But I don't want to do that if it'll eventually be released on the Switch as well.

I'm surprised so many people are calling for a 3D World Deluxe. It was broadly panned at release by "hardcore" Nintendo fans.
(It's my favorite 3D Mario, so I'm definitely not complaining. Good to be in company of gamers with good taste)

to be fair, i never played 3D World on Wii U. I played 3D Land on the 3DS and loved it. I'm just assuming they are kinda the same and if they are then hell yeah I want 3D World on Switch.
