Y'all, 13 isn't referring to February 13th. It's referring to the 13th month, Smarch. We will see the direct in Smarch while we huddle up inside due to the lousy Smarch weather.

Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT|

All of the game ported from the WiiU to the Switch have so far not received a sequel (we are about 1/3 through the life of the console), and the only for which we know for sure that a sequel is coming is Bayonetta, of which we haven't seen even a screenshot, and for which the release date is still unknown (unlikely for 2019). You probably ain't playing Pikmin 4 before a looooooooong time.
Would've preferred 4, which I'm sure is gonna be a sublime evolution of the series, right off the bat.OH YEAH!
ALL HAIL PIKMIN!
This was just my prediction, but Zell said 13 is the lucky number, so looks like we're getting something!
Just remember this life lesson, "Good things come to those who wait".
Maybe Pikmin 4 is coming next year? They may have started from scratch and rebooted the franchise for all we know.
OMG it's time to get hyped then!!! I just passed an exam and now this news. I couldn't be happier :D
THANK YOU KING
Wait, Metroid Prime Trilogy will in the supposed Direct next week?
He gave us this too in case you didn't see it.

Which of these games are you guys most anticipating to see?
-Fire Emblem Three Houses (in depth)
-Animal Crossing
-Super Mario Maker 2
-2D Zelda
-Pokemon Gen 8

-Animal Crossing

Gen 8 > the rest of the games coming in 2019 on any platform combined. No hyperbole.
Pikmin 3 ?
I always remember when Nin said new Pikmin is almost finished couple years ago. Were they referring to the 3DS spin-off? If not, I wonder what happened since then.
Thank you.
What kind of joke did I make? I'm not native so I'm not grasping it.
You probably don't know this but will SNES be added to NSO next direct?
I'm ready to lose my life to Fire Emblem.
Although it'll be curious to see Pokemon's graphical evolution.
Arghhhh it's Retro or nothing for me!!
Haha only joking, well... a little anyway. I'd say 2D Zelda, but its close. They're all on my shopping list, and they all have great potential.
Where is all this speculation about a new Top Down Zelda game coming from? I know it's a general pattern for them to switch back and forth between Third Person and Top Down games, but is there any concrete information pointing towards this?
I was personally hoping for a Majora situation where they use the assets from Breath of the Wild and make a (relatively) quick sequel.

So this Direct could be a lil big, now obviously Nintendo wouldn't reveal everything in Feb, but a potential list of this:
2D Zelda
Mario Maker 2
Pikmin 3
BoxBoy Collection
FFVII Shadowdropped
Luigi's Mansion 3
Animal Crossing
Metroid Prime Trilogy HD
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Joker Gameplay + Erdrick Reveal
and a Pokemon Direct with a Gen 8 reveal on Pokemon Day sounds like a great month for Nintendo news despite no 1st party game
(There's a lot more to play anyways like Wargroove!)
2D Zelda
Mario Maker 2
Pikmin 3

FFVII Shadowdropped
Luigi's Mansion 3

Fire Emblem Three Houses

So Mario Maker 2.0, huh?
That's probably the third biggest title for Nintendo, commercially speaking, this year.
Would make a great December title.

For me it's 2D Zelda, although that's partly because I don't expect to see Gen 8 yet.
I'd be excited just for a shadow dropped FF7 release tbh. That advert makes me think it's coming really soon.
YEEEES. Wednesday Direct is gold, that extra 24H saved from waiting is definitely making my day. This is gonna be one for the books, I can feel it
Holy fuck, 2019 is gonna be the GOAT year with those games on top of Nintendo's already announced titles and a revision. Sales momentum will go into hyperdrive.
Bow to our mighty king!
But is it a Nintendo Direct or a Pokemon Direct? I'm happy with either! Let the hype begin!
It wasn't a referral to the spin-off, unless we choose to believe that when they said in June 2017 "development is progressing" and "Pikmin 4 is in development but that is all we can confirm at present" they were referring to a game that had, at that point, long been fully revealed and was due to launch in a month's time.
We just have to accept that Miyamoto seems to enjoy doing this with Pikmin, like announcing 3 in 2008. I've half a mind it's how he blackmails Nintendo into making each entry - "I've announced it now, you've got to greenlight it".
Pokemon is most hype, but I don't think we'll see it for maybe another couple weeks. I was hoping it'd be revealed in early Feb., but I guess I'll hope for late Feb.
2D Zelda is the most interesting game to me, as a BotW fan. I never really cared about Zelda before that, so I'm certainly interested to see what a more traditional Zelda is like and if it'll be my kinda game. With it being HD and obviously on the Switch, a lot of little things that might've made me back off have already been taken care of.
So that leaves FE, Three Houses is the only game I know for sure that I want to actually buy. In that way, it's the only one I have, like, concrete hype for. So that means it's the one I'm actually anticipating the most right now.
I think by far the most likely things we'll see will be a shadow drop for FF7 and the announcement of a Square Enix DLC character for Smash.
I know most people have concluded it's Erdrick (and I would not mind seeing him in his Kid Goku esque appearance, really don't like the more adult style artwork for him) but I think people are underestimating the possibilty of a different Dragon Quest rep or possibly even something completely insane like Sora.
Oh, I thought you had made a reference to the "we forgive you, King" meme related to Kanye West.
Pokemon > 2D Zelda > Super Mario Maker 2 > Animal Crossing > Fire Emblem
Now if your list also included Luigi's Mansion 3, Pikmin 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
LM3 > Pokemon > 2D Zelda > MUA 3 > Pikmin 3 > Super Mario Maker 2 > Animal Crossing > Fire Emblem
I'm hesitant on Pokemon because I feel like if the rumors are true about them releasing a pure handheld Switch, Gamefreak will have an excuse to make the new one made for handhelds again like with Let's Go. I want it to be a big console experience! Let's Go was good but only really on the go, felt horrible playing it on my tv.
Fire Emblem also looks dope, and I think had been at least partially dubbed over a year ago or whenever they showed off that initial trailer!
Pikmin 3 port? Heck yeah. That'll just leave Super Mario 3D World, Xenoblade Chronicles X and the 2 HD Zelda GC games as far as I'm concerned for the Wii U library (also assuming here that Mario Maker 2 is a thing which is almost certainly is). I know people also like TW101, TMS and Paper Mario Colour Splash but I ain't got round to playing them and don't think they're as important to Nintendo either. Would've hoped for SM3DW or XCX before Pikmin 3 but I'm still excited for it- especially if it's fleshed out even a little with maybe online bingo battle..?
There's a few more to add to that list...! (What a ridiculously good year this is going to be!)
Daemon X Machina (has always felt like a H1 title to me, but we will see)
MUA3 (could have an update as we are nearing the next Marvel movie)
Retro Studios game (could be E3, but equally could be locked and ready to go sooner)
Platinums new game (depends what it is, could be E3)
Bayonetta 3 (I still believe 2020, but we really don't know? Could still be given an update of some kind)
Town (Never forget to add this to any list about anything. People get crazy.)
Assassins Creed 3 Remake (they just announced other platforms, maybe Switch announce was held back for this?)
Ahahah no, I don't know what you're talking about lol
Thank for the explanation tho
The rumour of a 2D Zelda comes from King Zell (and hinted at by Emily, I believe). You can find the specific post in this thread.
It was just him speculating, unless I missed his posts in the last couple of days.
