Nintendo isn't trolling us. The prediction was made by someone who is barely a step above an overzealous fan. That said, I think they will have a direct before the end of the month, their solid release schedule ends before it's over.
As for what they will have, I don't see anything that you put up there on your balls to the wall list even being possible. In fact if 1.5 and 2.5 is releasing anywhere, it will be Xbox, but that won't effect KH3, because Square would easily be able to port that using the PS4 version in a matter of a few months, and since KH3 isn't coming to Switch yet so far as we know, the HD remakes of the series won't either. They will probably talk more about Project Octopath Traveler, they may try to hype up the first Yo-Kai Watch Busters title, we will probably get more Kirby for the Switch, as for Kirby Battle Royale, unless they want to announce the demo, there's no reason for them to talk about it, it's out in 8 days. They might make it a point to mention the returning NES classic, which will probably have a new game on it to make it more enticing. They might talk about some DLC for Xenoblade Chronicles, Super Mario Odyssey or Fire Emblem Warriors, but with Arms and Zelda done, I doubt much will happen. I think people have let potential hype get them too excited for what should be a fairly average showing, unless a lot of surprises show up.
Edit: Now that I think about it, Snack World and several Atlus titles that are coming to the 3DS might also be a part of the next direct.
