We've got one. 

 

So more Arms, more Splatoon.....and possibly other stuf. Stars theorists have tomorrow to be proven right. 



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Splatoon 2 will 100% be a Story Trailer, the Squid Sisters story updates recently reached the climax with stuff starting to go wrong and they already teased a trailer regarding Octarians in the last Direct.

For ARMS I expect a Testfire similar to that of Splatoon and Splatoon 2, some more modes, perhaps story and of course lots of new characters/gear !

makes sense to do an ARMS focused Direct before E3 since it releases the same week as E3.

I wonder why they didn't just wait until E3. Unless these are all just small announcements to prepare for the big storm.

Makes perfectly sense though, now they dont need to put too much time in to the game at the E3 show.

They will showcase it plenty with tree house and the invitational.

They won't throw something too big so close to E3. This will mostly be an Arms+Splatoon trailer, and mabe an indie announcement.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Possibly other stuff? Don't set yourself up for disappointment. This is not even called a Nintendo Direct, it's just a straight up Arms Direct, it's not gonna have anything else besides the one trailer for Splatoon.

I could see them possibly talk a bit about SF2 and Disgaea 5 as well.. but other than that, I dont expect much else than the stated.

Probably didn't want to waste any valuable E3 time on it to save space for the Nintendo Splotlight Event so they could focus on bigger and newer announcements.

its mainly focused on ARMS which releases the same week as E3, it makes sense to get the info out sooner.

Nope, it's specifically an ARMS direct, much like the Pokémon Direct and the Splatoon Direct the only game they'll talk about will be ARMS excluding the Splatoon 2 trailer they specifically mentioned...
