I mean, it'd be kinda disappointing not to know anything about new IPs or Pokémon/Metroid/Retro but man, would a Pirate Fire Emblem be cool

Seems people only care about ports? Tha tis all that is being talked about, or as usual Smash.

I would love this direct.
Fire Emblem, and not only just new news, but freaking out super soon.
Kirby and Yoshi, not my games, but still big IP from Nintendo and filling in gaps.
Octopath release date and name.

You guys do release that this is not E3, something I feel like we need to restate every time a new Direct is announced/shown.

Switch has no need to show off any new big games that are holiday titles. They can save that for E3. Imagine seeing Pokémon for the first time at E3, or Smash, or Animal Crossing and the being told out in like 4 months. That would be awesome. Not a big fan of announcing games and then waiting 4 years to play it (see BotW for example)

For the title... no shit.

Also, I barely think they will be stupid enough to call the game octopath voyage. That’s clearly someone making a shitty guess based on working title.

tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they kept "Octopath" in the title, most people already refer to the game as simply Octopath so it would prevent any kind of misunderstanding 

the Direct itself is guaranteed to be happening in January due to a EA leak about Fe, but we have no idea WHEN in January it'll be nor which games will be featured in it other than Fe (although Kirby, Yoshi and Octopath are all very likely since they are all scheduled for early 2018 OR were featured in the last Direct in September)

4chan leaks were right about some stuff in the Switch presentation.

It wouldn't be as big as the Ps4 and XB1 versions and they cold make the online a separate download.

Looks fake. "Octopath Voyage" when the game looks nothing like a boating game. With the title, Fire Emblem Mutiny, I think this guy has pirates on his mind.

Yoshi's Pop-Up is a really weird title when the much more apt title "Yoshi Switch" is more likely the title.

Why would they feature so many Square Enix games and not have a Square Enix dedicated event? Seems very odd.

Lastly, Nintendo Directs always focus on Nintendo published software - this looks weird for a year kickoff event.

Fake.

So many Direct rumors, it's getting out of hand

Feel like most of these rumors are just predictions rather than real rumors too
