"first half of 2021"
So probably no SMTV then, but one only can hope.
They probably will show new info on Zelda Skyward remaster or BotW2, some new smash character, release date for western version of SMT3 remaster, hopefully some gameplay of monster hunter stories 2 or neo twewy.
Maybe confirmation on The Great Ace Attorney games coming west on Nintendo Switch.

Unlikely, but here's also hoping they announce a Xenoblade Chronicles X port and a new trailer/info of Bayonetta 3.
A new Tales Of game for Switch, or Arise, or Graces or Xillia remaster, whichever please Namco!
And Kingdom Hearts, Nier and Persona series ports for Switch
(I know none of that will happen, just let me dream)

Bro I've been waiting so long for KH. I ended up just emulating them all. I still don't understand why Nomura said it would be difficult to get the games on the switch

 

[ov3rkill]

Same thoughts with most the comments here, sequel for Breath of the Wild and Metroid Prime 4, perhaps even Bayonetta 3.
Or you know what? Maybe it's just for Super Smash Bros.

 

[Keylogger]

Zelda 35th anniversary??

 

[1c4rus]

KH collection port for Switch announcement? They better have some news about Metroid 4 and/or Bayonetta 3.

I'd understand in the case of KH3 since it's more graphically demanding, but at least the 1.5 and 2.5 shouldn't be that big of a problem (I may be wrong). I mean they already got them all on PC, and that would had to be just as difficult. Dragon Quest XI was ported and worked just fine (though it's not as demanding as KH3 would be). But it is what it is.

I've grown smarter enough in the last couple of years to keep my expectations really low. The last Direct that got me hyped was like 2 or maybe 3 years ago.

 

[2DSGamerdude]

well, this came out of nowere, nobody was expecting this to show up again anytime soon?
not really, this was coming sometime, it had to.
nintendo hasn't done anything for sometime now, so now's the time for them to act upon it.

i just hope this 50min direct brings good stuff at least and isn't a waste of time.
i think we'll see things like zelda 35th, maybe botw 2 info, pokemon?
or something we have no idea about yet.

New 3D Mario game just after everyone gave Nintendo money for the port of the 7 year old Wii U game.

I'm joining in on the fun

i tried

 

[GoldenBullet]

Its going to be bad simply because people set their expectations too high and don't accept what the developers themselves want to make

 

[SnAQ]

So, 45 minutes of boring Smash shit and a teaser for Botw2

 

[1B51004]

alright crazy theory, but i have a feeling the next fighter is going to be a 8th gen pokemon rep
prolly one of the starters, most likely cinderace or inteleon (doubt rillaboom because he's not going anywhere with those drums)
with the stage being either the main wild area or the arena gym thingy you fight the gym leaders in
or it could be a joke character and we'll get boxboy or something

Metroid Prime Collection

I like what I see

 

[Delerious]

Hoping for some Tales ports, a Star Ocean 2 port, some Bravely Default 2 info and although not likely to happen for a bajillion years, Golden Sun 1 and 2 remakes and Chrono Cross. Some Tony Hawk would be great as well.

In regards to Zelda, I very much want to see WW:HD, TP:HD and want to see Ages and Seasons in their own unique visual style that's different from the Link's Awakening remake, but uses the same engine. But I think most anything Zelda-related will come in a Zelda direct. This one will probably only make a brief mention of the Zelda Anniversary with maybe a little teaser (hopefully a BOTW2 trailer).

Speaking of nintendo:

Microsoft Edge extensions have been hiding retro Nintendo games

[limpbiz411]

I am fully prepared to be disappointed..

 

[RobXcore]

I hope they announce the 30th anniversary Sonic Game, it would be a good move from Sega knowing that Nintendo Direct is one of the most watched livestreamed gaming event

PLEASE, let it be SA3.

 

[Julie_Pilgrim]

Honestly I don't think we're gonna get any huge announcements

 

[Silent_Gunner]

Nintendo needs to be firing on all cylinders.

Metroid Prime 4, BOTW2, Metroid Prime Trilogy port, F-Zero GX port, Bayonetta 3, New Smash character, Xenoblade Chronicles X port, Legend of Zelda 3D ports of OOT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, etc., maybe a new Fire Emblem, perhaps a revival of the Advance Wars series, etc..

They need to be making their own games for the Switch and not be overly dependent on indie games. Those have their place, but they're not why people bought the Nintendo Switch, at the end of the day.
