Not really a Direct but Nintendo just dropped a 20minute long stealthy indies highlight video including titles for 2019

A new Nindies Direct featuring unannounced games for Switch will air on the 28th of August

Here is both Directs. Everyone should watch both of them to get all the info.

Part 1



Part 2

Keeping my expectations low for this one.

I expect Nintendo to focus on first and third party games we already know about: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, Super Mario Party, Diablo III, The World End With You Final Remix, etc.

As far as surprises go, I think one or two rumored things will end up being true.

Spoiler

I expect to see NSMBU+NSLU for Switch, and I'm going to both them even though I 100%'d both games on Wii U. We might be some Final Fantasy announcement or Ridge Racer 8 officially revealed for Switch.

Other than that, I just want a Smash character reveal at the end, which is pretty much guaranteed.

I bet they talk a lot about the online services. I am still mostly in the dark, and all I know is some features and prices. They didn't even properly explain the prices

Nintendo Switch Online's launch has been less clear than the Wii U's launch. So Nintendo better make things very clear to everyone. I think they should also post in the news section of the Switch that online will be paid soon since there are a lot of more casual people who don't watch Nintendo Direct or follow gaming news who may be blind sided by needing to pay for something that was free before.

They already did. The news section has a channel for it and has had it for a while, if I recall. Anyways, they'd better give more info

I shared this about 5PM yesterday my time, a little earlier than the above post but it seems to be deleted, so I'll re post it now.

The Nintendo Direct is delayed.
