We finally have a confirmation on a new Nintendo Direct coming November 12th, 2PM PT!

As always, no NX info is coming out through this. What do you guys think will be shown? I think Smash Ballot's a given here.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Hoping for Smash Ballot as well and something Pokémon related. After six months, maybe some Zelda U too...?(I know it's coming out in 2016, I mean just a trailer)

I don't know about Zelda U, but if Twilight Princess HD is a thing, this is when it'll be shown.

For Splatoon, I'm expecting playable Octolings to be announced. I'd love F.L.U.D.D. or a Delfino Plaza level, but at this point it's not happening.

I'm gonna predict another big Mario Maker update as well. Hopefully with more enemies and level themes, slopes, and bodies of lava/water.

Regarding the Smash Ballot, I'm predicting either K. Rool or Inklings + a stage. Maybe Wolf too, but that'd be a bit disappointing by itself. It would make sense for SF0's release date though.

My Predictions:

• Super Mario Maker DLC Pack
  
• Smash Ballot winners announced
  
• Pokemon Z Version announced
  
• Twilight Princess HD/Zelda Wii U
  

..........

I just want more info on Genei Ibun Roku #FE.

Oh, and more amiibo. I need moooore!!

I need that TP HD! D':

Being realistic here (and no particular order):

-Announcing planned updates for Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, because I really want to believe Nintendo aren't so stupid as to release the game in it's current state and expect it to sell without AT LEAST promising more content for it, even if they don't quite announce that content yet. Because that's pretty much the only problem with the game. It's suffering from the Splatoon problem at launch, so they need to give it the Splatoon solution.

-I'm not betting on tons of Smash news, one character at most and another stage or two and some Mii Fighter costumes at the least. People forget that while the ballot ended, it's only been a month, and that's not enough time to finish up on the winners (even assuming they started a little early), and I don't believe they'll say any characters won the ballot ever, we can just assume whatever DLC comes out next year will be the ballot characters. However, I think Wolf would probably be the announced character for Friday, and I think he will be independent of the ballot. I could see Inklings happening too alongside him, but since they would be newcomers and would require a lot of obtuse new mechanics, I am less sure of them showing up now (assuming they do show up at all). I could see them being announced now, though, and released sometime in Spring. However, Wolf, and any Mii Fighter costumes and maybe a stage, will be announced and released on Friday, IMO (or within the next week at least. Definitely before the year ends).

-New Star Fox: Zero trailer and news regarding it. Possibly a release date, but I think showing us something new about the game, like Amiibo functionality, is a given. I can definitely see it being one of the main focus points of this Direct, as do remember that the game was supposed to release this month. It only got a short delay because Miyamoto wanted to "polish level design, improve GamePad functionality, and improve the tone of cutscenes", meaning that pretty much all of the FEATURES and CONTENT is in the game as is, but Miyamoto just wanted to further polish some things. So I think we'll see a fairly big news blowout for this game.

-New Pokkén Tournament trailer and some details about some console exclusive modes or something. That game is slated for Spring alongside Star Fox: Zero, and it's set to be a big game for the West, so they'd do well to give it some presence in this Direct.

-We'll probably see some paid Splatoon DLC, like an Octoling campaign or something.

-Twilight Princess HD is pretty likely.

-I expect Yokai Watch, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Pokémon: Super Mystery Dungeon, Hyrule Warriors Legends, and maybe Monster Hunter X to be shown off on the 3DS side. We could also potentially see Triforce Heroes DLC, as data miners have found currently unused content, including a functional outfit not used in the game, and even text pertaining to the eShop, downloading things, and "opening new areas".

-As far as Amiibo goes, there are a lot of possibilities. What I think we'll get though, will be at least one or two of the following:

• Smash Bros Amiibos of Lucas, Roy, and Ryu announced for a January release
  
• Super Mario Amiibo Wave 2 consisting of at least one of two sets of 3 (or all six together): Wario/DK/Rosalina or Waluigi/Daisy/Toadette
  
• Zelda Amiibo line
  
• More Animal Crossing Amiibo
  
• More Splatoon Amiibo, most likely and Octoling, Callie, and Marie
  

And finally, either at the beginning or the end, they will have a tribute to Iwata and we will all cry.

Thinking/hoping we'll see...
-Another Smash update including a fighter, a stage, and more Mii outfits. Let's be honest, if a fighter comes, a stage & Mii outfits is likely coming with the update. Expect Wolf or Inklings, but wishing for Banjo and Neku. A note about ballot will likely be made, but actual results won't be posted, merely a note something along the lines of working to create and procure rights to characters that were voted for, not directly stating those in works are winners.

-Amiibo news. Possibly something in regards to US release info for the AC wave 2 figures and release info for Lucas. Maybe Ryu & Roy release info as well. Newly confirmed fighter(s) will be announced to get Amiibo. SM Wave 2 will get confirmed lining up with the release of the new Mario Tennis game. Wario, DK, Rosalina, Daisy, Waluigi, and Boo are likely to be it. Shovel Knight's release date is revealed.

-A more specific release date for FE: Fates in the US as well as another trailer.

-If Roy Amiibo is confirmed, update info will be noted for STEAM to include him. Otherwise, possible update info for MarioMaker and Yoshi Wooly World to add costumes for new Amiibo such as Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, Ryu, and new Animal Crossing Amiibo.

-Potential new trailer or release info for the FE/SMT game.

Want: (that isn't in my predict but is possible)

• More MK8 DLC
  
• Super Mario Maker DLC
  
• More Ultra Smash Content

Predict:

• More amiibo
  
• Sm4sh DLC
  
• Twilight Princess HD
  
• Something Pokemon related
  

^Mewtwo has actually had his Mario Maker costumes since launch.

You are right in that the other three need theirs, though. Though I think the last update may have added their slots.

Eh, I knew most of the DLC were missing, thought Mewtwo was among that list. Oh well, don't have the game.

Welp I'm in class for that. Fantastic.

Anyhow, I just think this is Nintendo trying to push its (admittedly very underwhelming) "holiday lineup" and offer a glimpse of their Q1 2016 titles. Nothing to write home about, calling it now.

I will keep hoping for a new traditional Kirby game no matter what Direct it is. I know it's highly unlikely but I still have hope for one in each Direct. Same goes for F-Zero and, more recently, Rhythm Thief.

Realistically, I'm just hoping for at least one new DLC fighter for Smash no matter who it is. I also want to see more of what Pokken on Wii U will have to offer since it's probably my most anticipated game for next year so far. I'd also like to see if Pokemon Z is a thing and some stuff for Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon.

I don't really expect much Pokemon news to come from a direct. Maybe a trailer for Pokken, but that's about it. I expect most major Pokemon news to still come from CoroCoro.

Well, here's my safe predictions:

• New Smash DLC.
  
• New Mario Maker DLC.
  
• New Splatoon DLC.
  
• Lucas, Roy and Ryu Amiibo.
  
• More Mario Tennis information.
  
• More Pokkén Tournament information.
  
• More Zelda information (I want a official name).
  
• More Miimoto information.
  
• Some new random games for 2015 (as Nintendo already said).
  
• New Star Fox Zero information.

Not safe predictions:

• New Mario & Sonic 2016 information.
  
• New Amiibo revealed.
  
• New Nintendo Account information.
  

I prefer to hold down the hype, but it's hard.

I just want the smash ballot.

Pokemon Z INCOMING?!!!!?

I kinda want to see more information on Metroid Prime: Federation Force. If nothing else, it will be fun to play with friends, and I'd like to see more of it besides that underwhelming trailer.

Realistically, I expect (and want to see)... Smash news, and amiibo news.

Shigeki Morimoto and Satoru Shibata will be hosting the Japanese and European Directs respectively. I'm fine with that since I'm used to Shibata being in some of the European ones and I always liked him.




No word on the NA host, but it'll probably be Bill Trinen.

Also games through to Spring 2016 will be discussed so stuff like Star Fox and Pokken Tournament are pretty much a lock.

As a note, Nintendo Portugal said that there will be NO information about both the NX and the mobile games. So, no Pokémon Go or Miimoto.

Im mainly exicted to see some Zelda news with TP HD and Pokemon news. Other than that, Im just waiting for a Nintendo announcement that they bought Capcom. xD

What I want:
New Smash Brothers DLC Content
Smash Ballot Winners
Animal Villager Alt Costumes (...I feel like the only person who wants this. I'd probably play as Villager more.)
A Bulky Pokemon playable for Pokken Tournament
New game trailers

What I expect:
Please Understand.

i just wanna see more on pokken

Zelda Wii U please.

I'm still confused on the exact time today it will be shown. I live in AUS and apparently it was shown a 2pm today. No Nintendo Direct. Can someone help me out please?

It wasn't shown in Australia yet, it's a worldwide direct, and is showing at 2PM Pacific Standard Time in NORTH AMERICA. Here's the NoAU/NZ Twitter post about your time..

Thanks heaps! I was just confused. Damn it though, that's the start of school.

I'd suggest simply avoiding places that you know news from the Direct will be until you can watch it to avoid spoiling any big reveals.

I hope we see some new Amiibos for any game and if we do get more Smash news, let the news be amazing, fun and exciting for all the trouble it brewed. I also hope to hear about maybe some more interesting new games and anything else noteworthy.

Splatoon DLC basically confirmed for the Direct.

Well, I was hoping to leave the direct page open so I'd know when it's online, but apparently the whole Nintendo site isn't working. Hopefully this won't cause delays,it's really late for me already.

Its working for me.

Oh,now it's working here as well. Last hour I couldn't open anything from there.

Is it going on right now?

Is it going on right now?

2 Hours

Not to sound rude but, In 2 hours or [i]has been going on for 2 hours?

You can watch there, possibly with less lag from experience, and it's easy since you don't need to type in the date of the direct unlike what the redirect has - back then when they were doing tons before Smash 4 came out it was pretty useful.

Please. Also, what time does it air on est?

Edit: aaaaand never mind 5 EST for those who are wondering.

If I get a PW announcement, my heart will literally burst with tears of joy.

EST is 5pm I think, since it's two hours from now.

edit: ninja'd

^ thanks tho.

2 PST for those in the west.

About to start, if it's not showing up on your end refresh!
