I fear we don’t get a direct at all. But they can’t afford that since we know almost nothing about 2018...

Not sure why so many of you are assuming there's gonna be no direct at all. There will be one, it's very obvious there's going to be one in the following days or weeks. I cant see them not doing one in January.

Drought? I mean there's been released like 50+ games a month for the last 4 months or so... or you mean strictly games-from-Nintendo-drought?

Are we adding the rumor that I heard that the new update will finally make use of the Switch's bionic arms and I can then command it to grab me a beer from the fridge?!

If you don't count the drought between March and late July, then yeah.

I doubt all of those are happening but even if only some of them do It's gonna be great.

Excellent!

Switch Pro launching in March 2018. :P

a ton of games and we still need big hitters this year. Yoshi, Kirby, Bayo are not your typical Tier 1 games. I hope Smash and/or Pokemon would come toward fall 2018.
Maybe Yokai Watch switch for Japan as well. Lets see.

This just in: Nintendo of Russia just said "expect something soon" about a new direct: https://mynintendonews.com/2018/01/09/nintendo-russia-says-expect-something-soon-with-regards-to-a-nintendo-direct/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

And that my friend, is a rumour!

Also, Will Smith predicted the January Direct over a decade ago, just listen to the lyrics... it's all there!
