What do I expect from the next Nintendo Direct?

Mostly, more of people declaring that Nintendo is doomed because they showed more Mario, or because they didn't show more Mario, or because they revealed another crossover, or because they didn't reveal another crossover, or because they had no new IPs, or because they didn't show enough of their classic IPs, or because they focused on first-party games, or because they focused on third-party games, or because some of the games the showed off were already confirmed for other systems, or because none of the games confirmed for other systems were revealed to be coming to the Wii U, or because the games were too "casual", or because there was nothing to bring in the "casuals", or because Nintendo spent time talking about sales, or because Nintendo completely ignored sales, or because Nintendo apologised for delaying a game, or because Nintendo had games coming too quickly (and thus must have been rushed), or because they spent 5 minutes on a game that was already released, or because they completely ignored all of the games they'd already released, or because they announced a price cut (clearly they're too desperate), or because they didn't announce a price cut (no way the system can sell at this price), or because they're depending on Pokemon too much, or because they didn't announce more Pokemon, or because they spent too much time talking about Smash, or because they didn't spend enough time talking about Smash, or because they revealed too little, or because they revealed too much and couldn't possibly have anything left for E3, or because they spent time talking about 3DS games, or because they didn't spend time talking about 3DS games, or because they mentioned some little mobile game they're releasing, or because they refuse to release things to mobile gaming, but mostly because people like to revel in the idea that Nintendo is doomed, for some reason.

As for the contents of the Direct itself, I predict one new IP revelation (from Nintendo), a couple of major third-party title reveals (probably the third Sonic title (I'm betting Mario x Sonic) and whatever that unannounced third-party exclusive mentioned by NicoWave is), dates for Mario Kart 8 and one of their other titles (X, SMTxFE, Yarn Yoshi, etc), plus a firmer release period for Smash (probably May or June, with new trailer revealing a new character - perhaps Bomberman), plus some sort of DLC for an existing game (Hyrule in Sonic Lost World, or a new Pikmin 3 pack, or something like that), a bit of a push for Watch_Dogs Wii U, a bit of Bayonetta 2, and one new 3DS title (or perhaps the first tease of the next 3DS Pokemon title).
