Tomorrow we'll be getting a brand new Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase focused entirely on third-party games for the Switch.
That's right, don't get your hopes up for any Mario Kart or Zelda news, as instead, we'll have 25 glorious minutes of upcoming releases from other developers. So not really that mini then! Proceedings will kick off at 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST / 3pm CET.
So what might be on the docket? Well, what about those Persona 3 Portable, 4 Golden, and 5 Royal ports on Xbox and PlayStation? We're feeling a bit left out here with our Switches, but this Direct might be the perfect time to remedy that and give us a Last Surprise.
Bandai Namco's irresistibly adorable Klonoa returns in Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series next month, and after a demo released in Japan last week, a new trailer and a demo drop feel all too appropriate. And perhaps Capcom will give us a final look at Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. But there are lots of other third-party projects we haven't heard from in a while. Two indies that we haven't heard from in a little bit — Sports Story and Outer Wilds (which will be a port) — have been radio silent for a long time. Metal Slug Tactics has also been a little quiet since last August. And what about that rumoured Batman Arkham Collection?
Or maybe Square Enix can deliver us lots of big surprises. Can we dream big and think about those Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters coming to Switch? Or even hope that the leaked Tactics Ogre: Reborn is Switch-bound?
We've aired our thoughts, now it's time for you to share yours! Are you happy with a Partner Direct or disappointed in the lack of a main one this Not-E3 season? And, just as importantly, what do you think we'll be seeing tomorrow, and what do you hope to see? Vote in our polls below, and make sure you let us know what you said in the comments!

Persona, 3-5 would be great.
If they don’t announce at least Persona 3 and 4 ports then I think people may riot.
I’m easy though, I think any direct is welcome at all and people should be cool about it. Remember: Nintendo doesn’t owe us s***
Question : What do you hope to see?
Me : Some 3rd party kids games ! 😃
PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA PERSONA!! Please?
Persona ports and FF remaster ports are my big wishes
Silksong releasing SOON
Portal releasing SOON
Sparks of Hope info (specifically, how is combat different)
Goldeneye 64 (standalone, not NSO)
Ports of:
Rayman Origins, Dark Souls 3, The Witness, Patrick's Parabox, I Am Fish, Agent 64, Haiku the Robot, Skate trilogy
@Anti-Matter of course…
Not expecting much but hopefully we get some Dragon Quest related content since it's a 3rd party focused direct.
Hoping for.. honestly anything new about DQ3 remake.
We didn't get any info since it's reveal so a new trailer with a release date would be nice.
Same for Dragon Quest Treasures we got a new trailer recently but at the end it said we would get new info this month, which is leads me to believe that we'll also get more info on it since this is probably the only chance left seeing how June is almost over.
Everybody seems to have forgotten about the Steam world 3D game.
Also, shovel knight DIG , Which I would expect to be quite a big game, is never mentioned anywhere. But I’m really hoping to see these announcements tomorrow.
I don’t understand the persona hype. Anyway I’m hoping for goldeneye…..
Most of the third party games I'd like to see are long shots at this point. There are still plenty from previous generations that would be cool, but the only recent one I've really felt like I missed out on is Elden Ring.
I just want batman arkham games to come
I hope for persona 3-5 and sports story.
I expect RE Cloud version and Persona Q port.
I just got a silksong trailer…. But now I want another!
Other than that I’m open minded. A dream port pick would be a fallout 3/New Vegas collection but Im not hold my breath.
A Batman collection that included origins (the only one I haven’t played) would be cool, provided they ran well. Double good if I could buy Origins separate.
I want Doug Bowser to announce a very special collaboration with a celebrated developer. Then Kojima pops out of a warp pipe dressed as Mario.
I never go into any Directs expecting anything, but Persona 3-5 alone would make this a great Direct for me. Bayonetta 3 and Sparks of Hope release dates would be great. Anything else would be a nice bonus: FF Pixel remasters, Batman Arkham collection, Resident evil revelations 3(Switch exclusive RE) etc.
Regardless, pretty excited for tomorrow's direct.
I honestly forgot about the Pixel remasters, would love to have those on Switch.
Silksong
RDR2 if rumours believed
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Goldeneye
Diddy Kong Racing
Rogue legacy 2
I just saw this article on vgc earlier talking about nier automata coming to switch. Could be there.. I still don't see how it could run well at all on the switch though
Spark of Hope would be cool but I get this nagging feeling it's been delayed. Anyone else feel like that?
Do Bayo3 and Mario + Rabbids 2 count as Third Party?
Beside that I hope for mainline Persona games and FF Pixel Remaster. Also something like MH Rise or SMT5, meaning an big exclusive game from ground up made for Switch would be cool
Who voted for a monster hunter sunbreak trailer 🤨 we get enough of those. It's also blatantly obvious we're gonna get a mario and rabids trailer tomorrow.
Persona 5 cloud
Persona, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Tactics Ogre are my top choices for sure. I’d be happy with any of these.
@PessitheMystic
I voted "Something Else" from the polling above since I don't even like every games mentioned from the polling.
I'm thinking about cartoonish kiddie games like by Microids or by OG Games.
I hope they'll release the Tomb Raider trilogy on Switch. But I've been hoping that for years now.
@Olliemar28 Without announcing actually anything.
Advance Wars Reboot Camp please.
Metal Slug Tatics!
My wishful thinking...
SEGA
90's Arcade Museum
Outrun Collection
Capcom
A Resident Evil spin off
Zack and Wiki 2
EA
The Strike Collection
Road Rash HD
Ubisoft
3D Rayman
Bethesda
Hexen Remastered
That and Speedball 2 Online...
Bit of an odd poll to ignore Mario + Rabbids. One of the biggest third-party titles on Switch and almost certainly going to be part of it tomorrow
Klonoa demo please! Oh and also genshin impact. (That’s a 3rd party game right?)
If Persona 5 Royal isn't announced tomorrow then Joker in Smash is even more questionable.
Another game I'm wishing will be there, but probably won't is warner bros multiversus. Mainly because 1. It's the perfect game for switch, 2. They have an open beta coming soon and still haven't announced when it starts. And 3 they said we would be getting info soon.
Something else - Final Fantasy XIII Col-
gunshot sound
Batman Arkham collection (or individual games).
That's probably what we can expect of big AAA coming at this time of Switch's life cycle (ok maybe the rumoured Red Dead Redemption 2).
We already know that Alan Wake is coming
Eh I'm not really invested in this. I'm about to give my full attention to my DS for a Pokémon nuzlocke, so the less distractions I have the better lol
That being said. If the Final Fantasy pixel remasters get dropped, then I'll have to reconsider my priorities.
The Klonoa demo has been available for weeks now.
@nhSnork Final Fantasy XIII Cloud edition
As long as we see Batman Arkham and Persona at the Direct Mini, I'll be happy.
@shgamer If we get Red Dead 1 or 2 that would be great!!!
We need a date for the 2 Lara Croft games.
Red Dead 2 and golden eye…. Ghost of Tsushima lol 😊
I hope we have at least one game that is a surprise. If this is made up of mostly games that have been rated / leaked, then it's going to feel a little flat (despite of course the games coming! lol)
@nhSnork
Get the PS3 version of FF XIII games.
Here would be something wild: the rest of the Phoenix Wright handheld games coming to the Switch in another game collection. Then they would release this mega collection, some limited edition stuff that would have all the games.
Ace Attorney 1-3, Apollo Justice, both Edgeworth games, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, then Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice
@OorWullie A resident evil spin off is wishful thinking. I guess another 3D Rayman could happen, one day, but the rest, I'd say a couple of of lottery wins is most likely
@Baler At least Persona delivers a fun and quality gaming experience. Unlike those Sonic games, people actually look forward to Persona games because Atlus has a good reputation of delivering quality.
@sanderev https://youtu.be/EHv9acm3fF0
@Anti-Matter I don't have a PS3, it's sadly not within my range of portability. And I do have the Steam versions on my laptop, but Switch is where I fancy the trilogy most. Even if it axes the PC ports' dual audio (which seems to have been implemented in a rather perplexing way) in the process.😆
Not really expecting much I'll be excited for but I'll watch it after work (if I'm not spoiled already) and see what they have, I suppose. As of right now, excitement is very low.
@Big_Fudge I'd say the most likely is Hexen Remastered. We've already had all the Doom titles on Switch and we got Quake Remastered. I'd say it's arrival is inevitable, just a matter of time. The rest of the list... yeah unlikely, especially the EA games.
After they were announced for XBox, ports of Persona 3, 4, and 5 on Switch just seem inevitable at this point and Square Enix making questionable decision after questionable decision makes me doubt FF Pixel Remaster ports so at this point just hoping to hear a definitive release date for the Portal Companion Collection since Portal 1&2 are some of my favorite games ever.
Madden and NHL finally coming to Switch!
I second all of the above suggestions, and also adding Etrian Odyssey and front mission.
Obligatory Silksong hope.
More than that, I'd like to see something other than Persona ports from Atlus. Maybe they're bringing ports/remasters of their PS2 catalog, or porting Etrian Odyssey titles?
I always keep an open mind with Nintendo's directs. If there's something I would gladly play, it's a plus for me.
Cursed to golf. Looks genuinely fun and the animations are ridiculously good.
Silksong and Batman Arkham...Id be over the friggin moon
Some unexpected game ports would be good
1-2 "impossible" major third party titles coming to the Switch that run natively, not cloud.
I have a feeling we might get Madden finally on the console this year... I guess we'll see.
@OorWullie I dunno, Doom and Quake are massive IPs. I've vaguely heard of Hexen...
Give me Sports Story news! I neeeeed it.
Just some good games that catch my interest.
Well I want Silksong release date, Goldeneye Remastered and Rare Replay please.
Also whilst not particularly interested in Persona 5 I want that game to be announced so everyone can finally shut up about it! And enjoy it too obviously!
Which do I most want to see, personally? Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. It's gorgeous, and I'm ready. Although they might push it to next year, if only not to drown the system in HD-2D content in 2022.
Which do I most hope is there? Persona 3 - 5. I've already played the games, but there's something very wrong with Atlus if they refuse to port those games to the non-Sony platform they'll inevitably sell best on, and if the games aren't there, the resulting drama will overshadow the actual announcements.
I’d love to see more for the Hogwarts Legacy game, but tbh as long as there’s one interesting announcement I’ll be happy.
Goldeneye. That is all.
Some Angry Birds games, even if it's just a cameo or one game would be great. If not, it's okay because there's lots of third-party games that might turn out good.
I’d like to see interesting games with local multi-player co-op.
mother 3 taunting.
please.
i can go another 4 years without an official release because the fans comments are more entertaining than the game itself.
Okay but people really expect persona 5 to not be a cloud version !? I don’t think it’s possible otherwise.
Persona so we can stop beating this horse. I’ll stick with mainline SMT though. I want info on squeenix’s next SRPG personally.
I'll trade all these announcements to just know the Zelda BOTW 2 release date alone.
I don't care about a Dragon Quest III HD-2D trailer, I just want confirmation that it is actually coming to Switch and possibly a release date!
Ogre Battle news too, please.
I would love for an update on Genshin Impact or maybe a surprise Another Eden announcement.
The Disney Afternoon…
Just made myself sad. ☹️
You forgot Return to Monkey Island.
And from your list: Sports Story! It’s been announced a long time ago.
Given Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was developed AND published by Ubisoft, there’s a decent chance we could see Sparke of Hope here. Hoping but not expecting to see it.
Aside from that, I’d like to see Persona, Sports Story and Silksong. Maybe a Cadence of Hyrule 2? Idk I’m just guessing at this point lol.
My wishlist:
And finally:
Just give us Golden Eye on Switch and Xbox
Say it with me,
CRAZY TAXI!
I mainly want:
Arkham anything. That and Prince of Persia would make my Direct.
Other than mario and rabbids, there isn't anything third party that I care about, I'd rather play all these ports on a more powerful system and the magic of portability has worn off a long while ago. Looks like my switch will continue to collect dust
I would lose my mind at an announcement for some Ys ports. There are a few excellent contenders that would fit great on the system and the series director has made comments on their possibilities!
That said, is it an intentional snub to leave Rabbids off this poll? Do y'all think it won't show?
If there’s a Silk Song date that’ll make the whole thing worth it.
Mass Effect Trilogy wouldn’t go amiss either
What do I want? Goldeneye. That's kinda 3rd party right? But won't happen.
What did I vote for? Cowabunga collection date. I feel like this is likely and I want Turtles in Time. Between this and Shredders Revenge I just want this to be a Turtles summer
What 3rd party game I'm hoping to see?
Banjo Threeie ofcourse
Yes, Dumbledore, even after all these years, yes.
Im pretty much over playing third party games on Switch that are available elsewhere at this point, my Switch is only getting any playtime still because of first party games.
That said, I’ll be buying and re-playing Outer Wilds when it comes. One of my favourite games of the last decade.
Ace Attorney or bust
I'm still waiting to see Kingdom Come Deliverance. I want to see what that will be like on the Switch.
Getting sick of saying it.
Silksong.
Etrian Odyssey. cough. 😘😘😘
Is it too early for Bravely Default 3/Bravely Third?
Tunic! I want to play it so bad but I don't have an X-box or gaming PC.
Is Bayonetta 3 considered a third party game , if so then it’s the one I want to see tomorrow.
I'm hoping for a Bayonetta 3 release date but I expect we'll only be getting info on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and other games coming out in July.
What about Goldeneye 007? It's technically a third-party game as Microsoft owns it. That would be awesome!
@sketchturner I was under the impression that the majority of Rayman Origins was included in Rayman Legends. Does that seem right?
I'm getting desperate.
I'm not expecting to be blown away with what they end up showing, but I hope we get a new IP that looks fun and is a Switch exclusive. If Dragon Quest X Offline gets a Western release window I will be a very happy camper
Shadow drop Outer Wilds, please. I was waiting for it to come to Switch to play it, but if it continues to be delayed, I'll just get it on Game Pass.
I'd say Tactics Ogre and Front Mission. I got my share of p5 on PlayStation after plating royale, but the series is a good fit for the switch.
25 minutes only, that's enough for 5-8 announcements/trailers. Hopefully they don't get clutter by shovelware.
I think it's possible that they're could be an announcement of a port of modern warfare 1 & 2 remastered or cod mobile
Honestly, some new info on River City Girls 2 is something I would like to know.
I’d like to see balders gate 1&2 get a physical release. But number 1 would be any sort of timesplitters news.
@sanderev doubt that will happen with square enix selling crystal dynamics & eidos Montreal along with the IP
I would personally love to see Square Enix finally announce a localization of the Japanese PS4 port of Star Ocean: Second Evolution for at least Nintendo Switch and PS4 (maybe more platforms if we’re really lucky). With the upcoming broadcast on Star Ocean: The Divine Force, I think now would be an excellent time to announce a remaster or port of arguably the best Star Ocean game of all time (in my opinion, at least). It’s nice that First Departure is on Switch and PS4. And it’s nice that all the Star Ocean games (except Second Evolution when we’re talking outside of Japan) are available on PS4 digitally. But I think now would be a really great time to announce a remaster or port of Second Evolution with the broadcast for The Divine Force coming so soon. I could easily see such a remaster announced at a Nintendo Direct.
Of course, this all may be wishful thinking. But I continue to hope.
@Greatluigi if genshin was coming soon I think it wouldve been announced at the Xbox & Bethesda showcase
From third-party studio’s, all I want is Persona 4 Golden and the long-rumoured Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster ports. Anything else would pretty much be a bonus.
There are so many RPGs on Switch that I don’t really see the point to demand any more, when there is not a single AAA third person single player shooter on par with the likes of Last of Us2, Uncharted 4, Ratchet and Clank…etc. I would love to see MGS come back, and having a similar game like Mass Effect, or at least Vanquish, which should have happened long time ago- such excellent arcade TPS and Nintendo has a good long partnership with Platinum! Even though I prefer the Sci fi setting of MGS, could we at least get some Splinter Cell? Besides, maybe we could see the rumored Prince of Persia Sands of Time remake. I would be also glad if Switch got a new Resident Evil or RE VIII or RE2 remake, which was excellent. GTA V could be possible, or new Silent Hill? Nonetheless I would love to see Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie , or Jet Force Gemini remakes. Also, regarding Zelda- capcom made the Minish Cap- could we see a third party make a new 2D Zelda?! Zelda remakes would be still the best to appear if a third party studio made them, but there is not much hope there:/ My last hope would be a new Sin And Punishment or at least remake or remaster of Star Successor or seeing some great older titles come back- like Soul Reaver 1, remake of Eternal Darkness, MGS Twin Snakes, DK racing, or even Lords of Shadow 1/2, Shadow of Colosus, Zone of the Enders 1/2 remasters.
Klonoa was the only thing from the poll I'm especially looking forward to, but I'm hoping the direct will surprise me with something new.
@Screen if that's their I'd be expecting them to announce its a cloud version
@Darylb88 .. just hope not a cloud version.
I'm all aboard the remaining Ace Attorney games coming to the Switch train. I have them on the 3DS. But I played the Ace Attorney Trilogy on the Switch with my kids and it was fun experiencing that all over again with them. So I would love to play the remaining games on the big screen with them too
Technically Goldeneye is a partner game. Top of my list, given the recent rumours.
None of this is gonna happen, but:
•Pac-Man World Remastered Trilogy
•Ms. Pac-Man coming to Museum+ as paid DLC
•Sonic Generations port
•Sonic Lost World port
•Crash Bandicoot ports (Twinsanity, Wrath of Cortex, the PS1 versions of the original trilogy)
•PS1 versions of the original Spyro trilogy
•Rayman Remastered Trilogy
•Another Katamari Remaster
•Dragon Quest VII and VIII ports
•Localization of Dragon Quest X
•Gameplay reveal for SpongeBob: The Cosmic Shake
•Multiversus in development for Switch
•Runner 2 port
•Wumpa League reveal trailer
•Arcade Archives: Sinistar
•NickToons Unite ports
•Nick All-Star Brawl: Hugh release date & stage reveal
•Clive 'N' Wrench release date
•Kingdom Hearts native ports
•Psychonauts 1 and 2 ports
•Super Mario RPG coming to NSO
I'm a simple guy with unreasonable needs.
Im hoping to see the date of the nintendo direct which is obviously gonna be a bit big..
1. New console - spring 2023
2. New Mario - spring 2023
3. New mario movie - spring 2023
4. New zelda - spring 2023
It's not unusual for a game to be announced in the Direct then a few minutes later its also confirmed for other platforms.
With that said, it's got to be Goldeneye
@Donutsavant No. There are levels included but certainly not most of Origins. Not only that but they modified/ruined the levels that they brought back for Legends. I love the levels in Origins but was so annoyed with them in Legends.
@Would_you_kindly
I was told by GameStop explicitly that since they had received the ability to start selling pre-orders it would not be a cloud version.
Obviously this is not official information, but it out my mind at ease that they could say it with such confidence.
Tactics Ogre, Goldeneye, and Sports Story would make this a top tier Direct, in my opinion, especially because it’s obvious Persona is coming. I’d like to see Oxenfree 2, Blossom Tales 2, and Cowabunga Collection as well. And why not something we don’t already know about?
@Screen I'll be sceptical of it being native till they show gameplay of it running on the switch especially if it's supposed to launch alongside the Xbox & playstation versions when they usually come a year of so later
A lot of people are saying Persona, but the one third-party game I want to see in the Direct, more than any other game, is Genshin Impact. I'm hoping they will bring it to the Switch with the Version 3.0 update. I'd be surprised if they brought it to the Switch with Version 2.8 (or a hypothetical Version 2.9).
But frankly, I would prefer to play it on the Switch. Playing it on mobile, I have to deal with frequent crashes (especially when I teleport); playing it on PC, my keyboard and mouse frequently cut out, even with fresh batteries (and I also sometimes suffer from carpal tunnel, and I'm going through a bad bout of it right now); and playing on PS4, I spend more time navigating through system and game updates than actually playing the game itself.
So it would make me very happy to finally see it come to the Switch, and would frankly give me a good reason to start playing my Switch again. It's been a year since I started playing Genshin Impact, and other than playing Metroid Dread and Game Builder Garage, I really haven't played any other game on any system other than Genshin Impact, I'm that absorbed in the game.
This is honestly legit last chance that some cope people were hoping for with “Nintendo wants to announce Persona ports”
If persona don't show up, then we forget about it all for good this time around.
I'm actually really happy about this being a third party direct, we already know Nintendo will bring fantastic first party games to the Switch.
@SS25 Yes please to Mass Effect and Nier.
Original games and not ports.
Wouldn't no mans sky be in this announcement? Some games I'd like:
Portal on switch is my most anticipated game of 2022, but i don't want it eating up direct time since we already know all about it considerign they're old games.
STYLE fashion savvy please. Zero concurrence in this category on eshop right now. Z e r o. On The other hand, we got billions of shooters or rpg games. Titles listed in comments look quite the same… I’m bored, honestly.
I don’t know why I want Persona series games ported to Switch - I don’t have time to play them!
I’m all for some well done or affordable remasters, etc but come on Switch owners! When will the dumpster dive end? Are we still hoping to find our dignity down there?
Actually hang on I think I saw Gameboy games on NSO! Dive dive!
No more persona already.
Anyways I'm interested in knowing the rest of the release date for Bayonetta 3!
@KryptoniteKrunch And the TMNT collection, from your avatar?
Nothing that will actually be there so🤷🏾♂️
@Vix
Some peoples just like to complain everything.
The new Nintendo switch mini, with all the games that they won't port over😆
@PhhhCough
Switch Mini?
A handheld for the Smurfs? 😆
I'll take the disappointment saving approach: I expect nothing, no hype here. Let's just wait and see
Gta v , Red Dead Redemption , Transformers Devastation and EuroTruck 2
Persona 3-4 is definitely coming. Fingers crossed for 5. Also wanna see Sports Story and The Last Faith.
Ports:
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
-Arkham Collection
-Dark Souls 2/3
-Fight Night Round 3 Remaster (never in a million years)
-Midway Arcade Treasures 1-3 (never)
Out-of-left-field
-a new Viewtiful Joe that’s a timed exclusive
-more info on the new Monkey Island game
-surprise shadow drop of the entire Monkey Island series on Switch eshop.
-a Switch exclusive game from From Software, similar to how Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls are Sony exclusives.
I do think there will be some good stuff, especially if there are Final Fantasy pixel remasters, and I'm looking forward to Portal for sure. Tomb Raider would also be nice...
My most outlandish wish would be Metal Gear Solid
Radiant Silvergun, Aleste Branch or Strikers 1945 IV would be nice.
Not much on this list, actually. I picked only TMNT Collection. I wouldn't mind confirmed dates for Advance Wars and Bayonetta 3. Mostly, hoping to see something new that will blow our socks off.
@PessitheMystic There’s no reason why 5 couldn’t either. It was originally a PS3 game remember.
Umm let’s see me HOPES: hollow knight silk song, Metroid, Portal, and … that’s pretty perfect
Jedi Fallen Order port.
I am cautiously optimistic.
Britney’s Dance Beat remastered, now with the rest of her catalogue included, and seamless switching between PS2 and GBA visuals.
Gimme gimme more!
But I do expect to see some of LRG’s previously announced releases to also surface in the Direct (such as A Boy and His Blob: Retro Collection).
Persona 3-5 ports (NOT cloud)
Mega Man Battle Network Collection
Zero Escape Trilogy
Ace Attorney 7/2nd trilogy
Any one of those and I'll be happy
All I honestly expect is just lame disappointments and shovelware.
I never really cared for these Partner Directs and they should've just stayed in the distant past where they belong.
Bring on the Persona ports, please!
Persona 3-5
Metroid Prime 4 Gameplay and Release date
Star Wars Hunters
Jedi Fallen Order port
Please have this in the Direct.
Ideally stuff that is in fact new and not just ports of stuff already out on pc
If console ports of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters doesn't happen here I might give up on them.
For everyone who posted something about BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH JUNE 28 to
S T
F U
I know it flopped hard financially and Ubisoft Toronto is working on the Splinter Cell remake, but I would love to see a sequel to Starlink get announced with more Star Fox content and potentially have F-Zero and/or Metroid content too. No toys to life; just an open galaxy game with swappable weapons and maybe add on-foot dungeon-like sections set on planets, asteroids, moons, etc.
COD Zombies ports.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Batman Arkham Collection
Remaster of NSYNC: Get to the Show
Vanillaware's Muramasa.
I'm a sucker for ambitious AAA ports, so I'd say anything by Bethesda; whether that be Fallout 3/NV, Dishonored, or even Prey 2017.
More realistically, I'd be thrilled just to get a firm release date for Kingdom Come: Deliverance or the Portal: Companion Collection.
I would go nuts if they dropped the castlevania ds collection in this partner showcase.
@BanjoPickles Castlevania SoTN and More Monkey Island news would also be fantastic.
As with every Direct, I'm hoping for Chrono Trigger on Switch.
But either way, I'm sure there will be nice surprises....
for all those people who are still complaining about this, we have many 1st party games scheduled for this year. Nintendo knows this and that’s why they give spotlight to 3rd parties.
And another reminder that PlayStation also had a 3rd party state of play earlier in June and it turned out to be pretty decent. If PlayStation can do a 3rd party showcase, why not Nintendo.
The direct mini is almost as long as the state of play so let’s wait and see before we judge too harshly about it.
I know it won't happen but actually I'd love to see the Command & Conquer Franchise and especially the Killing Floor Franchise on the Nintendo Switch
Life is Strange Remastered, Portal: Companion Collection, Alan Wake Remastered, Fallout 3 Remastered and of course the Persona games.
Metroid Prime 4 and Breath of the Wild 2.
Can't forget Snatcher either.. Hideo Kojimas best classic
@JustMonika 3 of those games you have mentioned have been announced for Switch. Just need release dates.
For me, I kinda hope for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
@Strumpan mass effect ain’t happening imo. It’s EA remember?
I would hope to be wrong tho
@OorWullie resident evil spin off is really wishful thinking.
Resident Evil is a bigger success than before thanks to no Nintendo exclusivity deals
I expected more votes for the FF pixel remasters.
Everyone keeps saying there’s so much AAA Nintendo content coming, but for me it doesn’t really count if it’s not Zelda, mainline Mario or Metroid. I have absolutely no interest in Nintendo sports games and Xenoblade isn’t really going to be finished anytime soon. Why would they release a game early and then announce that the entire thing will be out in 1,5 years? I’ll be waiting cause I never go back to a game just for dlc
Those Pixel remasters are long overdue and they’re the only thing that could save this direct. I hope everyone gets cloudless Persona though
I'm hoping for Cat Quest III.
So my husband will stop asking me when Cat Quest III is coming out.
@TheHighGround it’s EA. Don’t expect anything from EA
A glimpse of Return to Monkey Island
Inscryption shadowdrop, please.
@mariomaster96 I believe bayo3 and Mario rabbids2 would be second-party titles, since they are created by third party devs but published by Nintendo directly. Doesn't mean that they definitely won't show up however - these two games have been big question marks on Nintendo's release schedule for the 2nd half of 2022 so it would make sense for them to have some kind of presence at the show.
just give us the next release date for the special edition xenoblade 3.
I'm not really excited because... They are all ports. I mean, good to have years old games that aren't on Nintendo platforms yet. And somehow they need to be before the new entry gets released
Unless they're showcasing a new Etrian Odyssey games I really don't care what's in the Direct. It's disappointing beyond measure to not get a full-fledged E3-style Direct with first party announcements.
Third parties are the filler that makes the wait for first parties seem shorter - they're never the main event. So why we're getting a Direct pretending they are, is beyond me. Any other time of the year I'd be fine with a third party Direct, but this is the one time a year I expect a big fully fleshed out Direct with first parties.
New Sega remaster! Or a Dreamcast collection Crazy taxi, jet set, bass fishing marine fishing, 18 wheeler, Sega rally etc
@Zeropulse
Oh man, the idea of a Castlevania DS Collection just made me feel all warm and fuzzy!
I really, really hope we see the Persona ports, the Batman collection and the Yakuza series would be a dream come true, Kamurocho on the go would be incredible.
These are my wishes for today’s direct
GTA V
RDR 2
NieR: Automata
Persona 3-5

30% of votes for Persona ports, yet I suspect 29% of those won’t buy them if we got them
A Dragon Quest Treasures update or a DQX Offline announcement for the West would be great!
@The_Pixel_King
are the rumours of those FF remasters based on peoples predictions or are there rumours claiming a source?
they are definitely my most wanted announcement in terms of switch ports.
Persona 3 and 4 would please me.
I don´t have any hope for a Persona 5 port.
Hoping for Banjo remasters or a new game. Gfuel is teasing something for Banjo's 24th anniversery.
Persona ports, what else?
@Would_you_kindly Actually it makes it a bit more likely to happen (but not from SE)
Through of the Direct is over, really wish for more about Test Drive Unlimited 3.
I hope that Switch version still keep going in development and not cancelled, I am praying for that.
@sanderev yeah I just meant ATM while they're in the process of being sold
@SakuraHaruka PS4 & Xbox one versions have been cancelled switch isn't getting it unless it a completely different game or it's a cloud version
@BobLong-RickTangle "Second Party" is not actually a thing, yet it's persisted for decades. Sparks of Hope is a third party Ubisoft developed title with 1st party co-publishing. Bayonetta I. P. is owned by Sega, with Nintendo owning the publishing rights. So, Bayo 3 is still technically 3rd party.
@Would_you_kindly Yeah, you are correct there.
@EVIL-C fair play. Good to know.
