For people thinking that we may not get anything major in this direct because of E3, remember:

In terms of potentially big titles Nintendo can show, Nintendo already teased:Pokemon, Metroid Prime 4.

Franchises that havent showed up yet but are a no brainer:Animal Crossing and Smash Bros.

There is still whatever project Retro is working on, which most likely will be something ambitious.Other than that there are most certainly new titles and new IPs Nintendo is working on, plus whatever second party title developers end up making.

Even if one or two megaton titles ends up appearing here, Nintendo would still have an arsenal of titles to show at E3.Not saying that it will happen, but I think its fair to expect the unexpected.

Information everyone already knows isn't going to change people's minds, well not mine atleast. If you want to expect Pokemon, Smash, Animal Crossing and a Ham Sandwich then by all means! I however try to avoid setting myself up for disappointment, so the only big thing I'm expecting is Fire Emblem reveal.

Im not expecting all of them.I have just listed them to show people even if Nintendo shows something like Retro new project for example or Animal Crossing(dosent need to be one of these titles, its just an example), it dosent mean they dont have anything for E3.Going into this expecting nothing outside of titles either rumored or heavily expected is as foolish as expecting a Ham Sandwich in my opinion.

It might be third parties that pick up the ball, not the direct is listed as a full direct, and they plan to show games for the whole year, so expecting something much better than the mini direct we received in January is reasonable.
