Everyone needs to calm down.
This could be the same situation where there was supposed to be a direct yesterday and look how that turned out

Imagine if they spent time on the 3ds in that direct.... Hopefully only 2 minutes or so i don't hate the 3ds but switch focus would be prefered.

A Mini Direct doesn't concern me. What that sounds like is we're getting a 15 minute Direct, and that's fine.

A little 3DS stuff, then some release dates for Kirby and Yoshi, reveal a Switch game or two (Fire Emblem, Octopath), make reference to new DLC or updates, and then Dark Souls.

12 minutes!

What major 3DS releases in 2017 were developed by Nintendo in-house?
That's a ludicrously specific question. What can be released in 2017 is affected by what was being developed in 2016 (as was the case with Pokemon) and even games not developed in house will take a ton of work and planning from Nintendo because they keep control of their IPs (as was the case with Metroid 2).

EDIT: got my years mixed up, it's 2018 now isn't it. Pokemon, Metroid 2, Fire Emblem Echoes.

I'm so confused. Was there no proper Nintendo direct yesterday? I seem to recall there being a massive thread in anticipation for it. I was going to stay up to watch it, but I noticed page after page people seemed to think it was only half an hour to an hour away, which just didn't make sense to me.

For the record, I never said this Direct was third party only. Today's Direct is not third party only.

I said Nintendo is leaning pretty heavily on third party titles + Wii U ports in 2018.

Based on what I know, that's an accurate statement.

That's not a bad thing. Because Switch is getting some really awesome third party stuff this year. Not all of it will be announced during the Direct.

Is Metroid Prime HD coming?

I've got orientation for my new school today, I fear I may miss this hypothetical Direct because of that...

And it's "megaton" all over again.. days of unmatched hype based on practically nothing culminating in jump supe-.. err a port of a 7 year old game...

The more forums change the more they stay the same

It has all been rather confusing.

Praise fiery Chibi and move on.

People were anticipating the announcement, not the Direct itself.

What is happening? Sorry for skipping 30ish pages but did they actually announce the Direct (mini?) to happen in 10 minutes?

That thread was about them just announcing it for today.

Now we're expecting a stealth announcement in 10 minutes
