I don't expect we'll see all of this (or even any of the wild-card options) but it gives you an idea of how much Nintendo can pack into a 3DS Direct. It'd be nice to see confirmation of a few more 2017 titles to see the system out, there's still a big 3DS audience and Nintendo usually do a decent job of giving their portable systems some long-tail support.
