Sweet. Looking forward to it
Fire Emblem would be interesting to see it was confirmed for 2018 early last year in the FE Direct and is considered a big first party franchise by Nintendo now, TWEWY Remake is another game I hope is shown.
Seeing as how this is most likely the Direct before E3, I'm keeping my expectations low, since they'll be saving their big guns for June.
This will likely just be an update of games they've already revealed (Mario Tennis, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, Project Octopath Traveler, Detective Pikachu, etc.) along with announcements of more Wii U ports and 3rd party games, including ports. Most if not all of the games they show off will have release dates pegged for Summer, I'm expecting Hyrule Warriors to be late May-early June, with Mario Tennis being late June-mid July.
At best, we may get a name for Fire Emblem, a formal announcement for Animal Crossing Switch, or the reveal of Pikmin 4 or whatever the next Pikmin game is, which has been in development for over 2 & a half years at this point.
Anybody who is expecting/hoping for Smash Bros. or Pokemon in this Direct is setting him/herself up for disappointment. Same goes for Metroid Prime 4.

Way longer than that.
2 and a half years ago Miyamoto confirmed that it was near complete the game.
We reap what we sow
I'm hoping for the Secret of Mana collection on Switch.
The anticipation for this Direct is eating me alive and we have more than 24 hours left. I am going die from hype before the Direct comes. Maybe I will play civ 4 to pass the time.

Probably means that Mario Tennis is the next game after Kirby and Labo so it will be the main focus of the Direct |
Which could also mean, this ND will not bring anything bigger than Mario Tennis.
I just found it odd they decided to specifically say that. Usually, NDs don't do that.

It kinda makes sense. It's the only brand new first party game coming soon. |
It's true. I just feel they hyped down the ND with that remark.
Oh nice, that's a pleasant surprise! Though the fact that it was just basically announced on the fly tells me there isn't going to be much to talk about.. Hoping for one neat surprise at the end at least, maybe some MP4 footage at least? O_o
I'm also more looking for app support at the moment, as I'm good on games for the next few months. Youtube/Netflix support and more on VC would be a start!
