We've not had to wait too long for the first major Nintendo Direct of 2022, which is rather lovely. As you're no doubt aware there's a Nintendo Direct broadcast today at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm GMT / 11pm CET, and of course we're gearing up for our usual live blog and excitement as Nintendo beams games into our eyeballs for approximately 40 minutes.
A few of our team have already had a pleasant little chat with some Nintendo Direct predictions - we covered some relatively obvious stuff, mulled over some of the numerous rumours that have done the rounds, and threw in some wildcard guesses for fun. Nintendo being what it is, we'll no doubt be pleasantly surprised and wrong about various things over the course of the show!
We argued in January that Nintendo has already lined up a huge year of gaming in 2022, so we're rather giddy at how the picture may only get more exciting after today's Direct broadcast. That said we must keep the buzz in check - got to keep that hype under control, right?
Well, let's ignore that and allow ourselves a bit of unbridled optimism before the show later today. Be sure to sound off with your Nintendo Direct hopes and dreams in the polls and comments below, and we'll see you later for our live blog of the show!
We'll be watching the Direct and reporting on all the juicy announcements, so if you're even a tiny bit interested be sure to check back 'round these parts later on (at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm GMT / 11pm CET, to be precise). Hasta pronto!

Love. Peace. Eternal Happiness.
And Mother 3/Trilogy.
Only a few hours to go....the wait is killing me lol
Personally, I really want to see Xenoblade 3 but honestly, I'd be hyped over just about any first-party announcement lol
Super Mario Odyssey 2 as the "One more thing" announcement
"And if you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down." -Gin Blossoms, 1992
Persona 4 Golden please!!!!
A new Wario Land, it’s a long stretch
I was convinced it was 2pm today, UK time! I’m off today, wife at work, kids at school… got myself settled down at about 1:45pm only to discover it’s not till ten o’clock tonight! Oh well. Can’t wait, hoping for BOTW2, a new DK, GoldenEye for the fans, something interesting for NSO and some surprises. It’ll be fun!
Bats, snakes, hippies, commodores and some crazy new labo / ringfit / 1-2 Switch idea.
How 'bout a new "Mach Rider"?
Other than that, I'm almost certain we'll see some surprises. Metroid and Xenoblade are what I'm hoping for the most.
Zelda Lost in the Wild and Fire Emblem Radiant Collection...
Only giving us one pick for that last poll is borderline cruel. I want to see roughly half of the options. XD
Xenoblade Chronicle 3 or other project from monolith and I will be very happy!!
I think we will get a 2017 size lineup in 2022- to compete with the threat of gamers moving to PS5 and XBX.
But I find it highly unlikely everything is coming this year. Expect 8-12 solid exclusives (we already know we’re getting about seven already), and then we’ll probably see the rest in 2023.
Splatton 3 with BOTS !!! If I can play Mario Kart 8 battle mode against BOTS, I wanna play Splatton 3 against BOTS.
Three Houses is my most played game aside from BOTW. If we hear about a new Fire Emblem, then I’ll walk away happy - even if we don’t hear anything about another Pikmin 🙁
@andyg1412 Fire Emblem Radiant Collection --> what good idea!!
Mario Kart 8 is 8 years old this year, we NEED a new Mario Kart game soon.
Would love a Super Mario Odyssey sequel announcement. That’s my pie-in-the-sky hope for today. My realistic hope is confirmation of the Arkham Collection and Silksong date.
No mention of the Monster Hunter Rise expansion? Sonic Frontier? Arkham Trilogy? Pikmin 4?
Okay I don't really need a 1-2-Switch sequel, but the fact that it got zero votes makes me sad.
I want a Xenoblade 3. I haven't played the first two, but they've been on my wishlist for a while, so maybe another one will convince me to finally get them.... Mario Odyssey 2 would also be amazing.
I voted Mario Kart 9 for my most anticipated "rumor" but if there really is a Professor Layton collection on the horizon I will giggle myself silly like a small child when it's announced.
1-2-Switch sequel / ARMS 2 / New Mii games, please.
3d Mario teaser
@BabyYoda71
Don't worry.
I voted for 1-2-Switch 2.
I like quirky unpopular games than major popular games.
Definitely hoping for a new/remade Fire Emblem. Anything else is a bonus!
i believe much of the timeline around BOTW2 & MK9 relates to a new Switch model. i don't think we'll see MK9 yet but hell yes i'd love to see it. smart thing for Nintendo would simply be to drop a tease that it's coming, imagine the hype.
Nothing, I'm taking what they can give us.
That way I won't be disappointed no matter what!
I would love to see a new Mario Strikers game for the Switch, or just straight ports of the GC and/or Wii titles.
A new trailer for BotW2 and a solid release date. Also more games for Capcom Arcade Stadium.
I think you already know what I want.
Astral chain 2 ?!
Xenoblade Chronicles X, available after this stream.
Please?
Not expecting anything new or anything much. As always, however, I am interested.
Very reasonable hope: home support for bdsp/pla
Hopeful but highly possible: Star wars hunters release
Hopeful but unlikely: pikmin 4
Expected but not hyped because already revealed: Mario and rabbids two(excited to play it though) and splatoon 3
I say Pikmin 4
@Davzilla I'd love to see pikmin 4!
I would really like a new Punch-Out game. Punch-Out Wii is one of my favorite games ever made, and the concept of a Nintendo-owned Next Level Games making a Punch-Out for the Switch would be one of my favorite things ever! Really, though, a few long-dormant franchises would be nice. We’ve seen literally every IP Nintendo likes to make on the Switch by now, let’s get some revivals.
I just want more news for Sunbreak, maybe even a release date.
@CharlieGirl "and all I really want's 1-2 Switch 2 and Mario Kart that's new, played MK8 starting years ago and more tracks are overduuue" -Bin Glossoms
I’d love to get some DLC for Arceus even though I’m taking my SWEET time with it cause I’ll take more of it anytime. Honestly, that and some really kick ass first party news would be great, Wind Waker HD would absolutely rule! Xenoblade Chronicles 3 news would be rad, especially if Monolith heard my silent screaming prayers for it to have real-time ARPG combat this time.
@CharlieGirl thanks, that song is in my head. It is a nice song.
Thousand-Year Door, Golden Sun, FFT
Proud to be in the 1% voting for a Layton Collection!
Port of Danganronpa Another Episode: Absolute Despair Girls, please... Ports of some good ol' fighting games - The King of Fighters XI(it's trapped on Atomiswave, PS2 and PSN!), The King of Fighters XIII, Nitroplus Blasterz, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax, Samurai Showdown VI, announcement of Atomiswave Arcade Archives Series, Daraku Tenshi - The Fallen Angels, Akatsuki Blitzkampf, Akatsuki En-Eins Perfektwelt... Ports of Dreamcast and Nintendo GameCube games... Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem HD, Rez HD, Seaman HD, Skies of Acardia HD, Doshin the Giant HD, Cubivore HD, killer7, P. N. 03 HD, Viewtiful Joe HD, Geist HD...
Pretty sure those Batman listings are true and will be announced . just hoping that there won't be a lot of cloud based games, as I can't play those on the go. Would love a Mario Odyssey 2. Still waiting for NHL or Madden, come on EA.
It's painful to have to pick one of the games/rumors. There's so much to look forward to, but BOTW2 would trump it all if anything from it is revealed today. Also, as much as I'd love to have TPHD on the Switch, or a new Mario Kart, I would be super-excited if a new 3D Mario is announced.
I just wanted to tick all options. That is what the anticipation of a direct does to me
Also, NO MORE F$&@%#G CLOUD GAMES!!!
I got so stoked when I heard about Kingdom Hearts cause I’ve always wanted to play them and it just blows that they’re cloud versions. I wish everyone would get the message- the tech isn’t ready yet, Nintendo isn’t ready yet, and until the tech IS ready this crap should just stop. K, rant over.
I'm hoping to see something about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. Stealth drop would be sweet!
A link to the past remake in the same engine as links awakening ..... maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but I think it will happen to this and some the older Zelda titles.
Between the big Zelda releases of 3 to 5 years, these would be good gap fillers
Wave race. Coming to N64 expansion. - wave race GC getting a remaster and out very soon and a brand new wave race out before end of year. Open world sea sections to explore in multiple locations and 60+ tracks in locals all over the world.
And Goldeneye. Hopefully both OG 64 and that remake.
Batman Arkham Collection, Alan Wake remastered and maybe a remaster of the old Build engine game, Shadow Warrior (the latter preferably done by Nightdive Studios).
More Wii U ports please! Gimme that yummy Legends of Zelda Superstar treatment.
Going by the poll and what I've seen online almost every wants Breath of the Wild 2 information today more than anything, I doubt we get that today
There's so much I'd love to see, but I'm not going to mention any of my wishes because none of them come true anyway. I'll just let the show roll and hope to be pleasantly surprised!
39 minutes of Animal Crossing (that I don't play) DLC, and the announcement that we'll get some Smash (that I also don't play) DLC discounts with NSO.
Seriously now, I'll just go in with a clear mind. It's always nicer to be surprised and happy for those who would like the news that doesn't harm anyone else.
I voted Goldeneye, because that would open up the possibility of Conker's BFD.
And what I really want, many of the given examples aside, is Gamecube on Switch, because right now, I'm honestly considering buying the Odin.
Mystical Ninja 64. Both games.
@Vyacheslav333 That's, a really long list. Lol.
I probably WILL spontaneously combust cuz I have no idea what they are gonna be talking abt 😀 I do hope for more ace attorney games, though a release date for botw2 would also be nice. . .
@Krysus Like usual, I suppose. Lol. 🙂
I'm in the penultimate chapter of Xenoblade Chronicles DE right now. I don't plan to play XC2, but I hope they announce XC3 just to marvel at graphics.
Give me Goldeneye for NSO, Advance Wars update, Metroid Prime updates (4 or Trilogy remasters) and TMNT news and I'll be happy as hell.
My reaction prediction based on the games announced.
Jaw dropping + Died in happiness = ARMS 2
Really excited = 1-2-Switch sequel, New Mii games, Yokai Watch 4 English version, Yokai Watch Jam English version, new Style Savvy games,
Not really surprised = any Mario games, new Kirby game, Gen 9 Pokemon announcement
Not reacted at all = Zelda games, Xenoblade games, Fire Emblem games, Splatoon games, Triangle Strategy, Metroid games, Advance Wars, NSO Expansion Pack, Donkey Kong games
Turn off the video = any rated M games
My daughter really wants a portable version of Sims 4. As it is EA, I have tempered her expectations.
I never know what to expect and that's the best part about it for me. There's always at least a few games that look interesting to me so I'm pretty easy to please. There will be those, "okay, that's for someone but not me," games they'll show off but that doesn't bug me like 90% of the internet.
@Anti-Matter
Nintendo: hello viewers, today we will be looking at our new game, virtual maid streamer, rated M,
F Zero please ….. :/
As much as I'd love Mario Kart 9, I think they'll let Chocobo GP have it's time in the sun this time around. If it's a real thing, I think it'll be a spring announcement.
A new Wave Race is what I'd really like to see, but my realistic semi-long shot is some Xenoblade 3 news.
It is pleasantly surprising to see more people want to see a 3D donkey kong game than a 3D mario
Hopefully plenty of rated M games. They are all selling well on switch. GTA trilogy has sold well even with bad press and not all on cart. Days of pandering to the image of “no rated M games on Nintendo please” is well and truly over.
They promised something for Zelda’s 35ths in the beginning of this year. So a Zelda trilogy/dualogy or other surprise still possible. I could image to „shadow drop“ MM.
A comeback for Mario 35 would be a dream
@Rykdrew Its gotta be on the way, you could continue with high level characters by putting your memory card in the Wii. Really regret selling those two games.
@Marianne
I will watch the Direct from my Switch so I can always turn off the video when I felt something suspicious from the trailer (I trust my instinct to tell which is safe games and which is dangerous games). I will turn off the video for a while, wait for certain seconds then I will continue to watch when I feel already safe to watch.
One thing I’ve wanted for years that I know I’ll never get: a first-party roguelike twin-stick shooter in the Super Mario Odyssey engine/art style. Call it the “Smash Bros. of twin-stick shooters”. I’d never leave the house!
New trailer for Rise: Sunbreak, also, freakin' Rhythm Heaven, give it to us, Nintendo!
Unrealistically - a Chibi-Robo collection.
Realistically - a title and release date for the BotW sequel.
I'm continuously surprised that these comments don't constantly talk about Silksong. That game is, by leaps and bounds, the most exciting thing that could be announced today IMO. Please, if there is anybody here who hasn't yet played Hollow Knight then get off the internet and download that game!
Point Blank 4 with Sinden lightguns .... Not sure the joycons would be accurate enough.
I want Xenoblade 3, as long as the female characters don’t all look like they’re inflatable
@Anti-Matter that's sounds like a good plan!
@Vortexeo I'd like to see more of Xenoblade Chronicles 2's characters to be honest, how would an XC3 work? Would it make yet another world? Or could it be an XC2/2?
Looking forward to the Direct (but I can still breath).
Zelda, of course! Fingers crossed.
Something else: the new medieval IP from Monolith Soft (not another Xenoblade, come on, you can do more than that, Monolith).
Bring it on!
What are the odds we see a firm release date for Hollow Knight Silksong? I’m getting antsy.
Really looking forward to the new DK Game, Donkey Kong: King of the Donkeys, which is just a donkey farming simulator where you play as Donkey Kong.
I have one word for you... PERSONA.
Persona 3 and 4. While the rumours of a new Mario Kart seem cool, I kinda hope Pikmin 4 and Mario Kart 9/X are launch titles for a new console that has DLSS upscaling to 4K. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already uses the power of the platform to the max, while Pikmin is one Nintendo series where higher resolution would really be a gameplay benefit.
If there’s going to be a new 3D Donkey Kong game, I hope they also remaster DK 64. That game really needs a remaster with improved camera and controls. I tried the virtual console version and couldn’t get far due to the terrible controls and camera. The game needs an improved version similar to what Microsoft did for the N64 Banjo Kazooie games.
Mario Baseball (Please Nintendo/Bandai-Namco!), Mario Strikers, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Star Fox, F-Zero, Splatoon 3, Bayonetta 3, the Next 3D Mario game, BOTW2.
TBH, I'm running out of franchises that Nintendo could release on Switch. for all i know they could surprise me with something they made and i've never heard in years or had it in my list yet.
I was looking for an excuse to not study, but i need to wait till ***** 10pm! Oh well after leaving this comment I’ll just go back to play Pokemon Legends
I’m not expecting anything other than updates on games we already know about. I suppose if I had to pick one dream announcement, it would be Mario Kart 9. Although a brand new 3D Mario or Donkey Kong would make me insanely happy too.
As far as ports and remasters go, I’d be very content with a Wind Waker + Twilight Princess HD collection and/or a Metroid Prime Trilogy HD remaster.
I'm happy with what I already have.
@Aozz101x
How about Mario Boxing / Kick boxing ? 😁
The sooner Splatoon 3 & BotW 2 release, the better!
Wanna see more of Splatoon 3 and if we get that Batman collection and the Layton Collection I will combust
BOTW2, new Mario and DK, and... something unexpected. Personally, I'd love remasters of DK64 and Four Swords Adventures...
Something else…….. Persona 4 Golden/Midnight Channel Collection bundle with Ultimax and Persona 5 Royal port.
I fully expect to see Ace Attorney, and I will be devastated if we don’t.
I would love a release date for TMNT Shredder’s Revenge since today is National Pizza Day. A guy can dream.
Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland 2….FINGERS CROSSED!!!
There's one man who can get the job done.....
"Bond. James Bond."
*Que GOLDENEYE trailer music
The 3% of you who voted for Tomodachi Life are my best friends here.
1 2 Switch 2 at 0%, where it should be
@StarPoint
I have voted 1-2-Switch 2.
One vote from me.
Why would you make me pick between Mario Kart 9, Donkey Kong and Metroid Prime 4? That's just mean NL!
I would like a new F-Zero the most. Nintendo broadening their first party lineup of games on the Switch even more. Would be fantastic if it has a garage mode and some sort of adventure mode where you're walking around in the city and have interactions with others and with the world. An area such as has been created in Splatoon is perhaps already enough.
Please, Nintendo. Just do it!
Because of the fact that BotW2 is slated to be released within 2022, it shoots down any sort of possibility of other Zelda games, including re-releases and remakes. I cannot stress this enough, but the most we're always gonna get is one major game release and maybe a small game/DLC/crossover, per year.
Mostly I'm hoping for Fire Emblem, maybe Xenoblade, Mario Party DLC, and Wind Waker and / or Twilight Princess ports.
Most excited for bayo3 and the next zelda. Hoping to see at least one of these get a revival Pikmin, Donkey kong or golden sun
New 3D DK game where we can play as Lanky, Chunky, and Tiny again. Maybe even a new Kong
I hope Nintendo at least reveal the title of the new Zelda-game.
Not particularly excited.
BotW2, I guess, but my interest in it has decreased considerably over time. I'm actually looking forward to playing Advance Wars 1+2 more than BotW2, but as far as seeing new footage/information goes, the latter makes more sense than a duology of remakes.
I'd like to see a new Fire Emblem - preferably a remake, but a brand new entry would be alright too. In fact the slim possibility of new FE content is just about the only reason I'm tuning in.
I'm always excited, and will happy to see whatever new projects Nintendo has in store. (But please confirm a splatoon 3 direct! I need this game!)
Oh right, work has been busy so I legit forgot it's happening lol guess that means I'm not particularly excited? Regardless, I'm hoping for some Zelda info and some juicy Fire Emblem content. No Kirby, I'm already sold on it and don't want to know any more until I play it.
@Octorok385
I ordered my Xenoblade Chronicles X Soundtrack CD set from Japan yesterday, just in case there's a run after they announce the Switch port today! [fingers crossed]
I enjoyed the game on Wii U but only played through the first like 20% of it. That music is epic though!!
Everything coming to Switch again hopefully? Still waiting on the promise April couple years back.
Choosing if I'm more excited about Mario kart 9, or a new Ace attorney is so hard! I think I'm the most hyped about the next Ace attorney, mostly because the second trilogy is done and I'm curious what new stories we'll get!!
@garfreek I’d love to see both too, but I’m 100% sure a new MK will come eventually. Seeing AA would be reassuring.
Looking forward to it. I only care to hear info about games we don't already know about. And an XC3 announcement would be tops, first party wise, for me. But I care more about unconfirmed third party ports than anything (Batman Arkham Collection, Chrono Cross Remastered, Alan Wake Remastered, etc).
Trying to keep my expectations low. I'm not even hoping for anything crazy.
I’m also imagining a world where a ton of stuff that got delayed/went unheard of due to the pandemic will be unleashed in a flurry of “HOLY CRAP” moments tonight.
I hope Panzer Dragoon Zwei gets a shadow drop
I just need Pikmin 4 and ill be happy
It will be nice to have an official title and release date for BOTW2!
I will watch the Direct ASAP after getting home from work tonight, but in a way I'm hoping they don't announce too much in the MUST BUY (aka Mario Kart 9) category for me, since my games backlog is absolutely out of control lately.
Off the top of my head, announcements I crave/fear the most are:
Mario Kart 9
Outer Wilds
TMNT: Shredder's Revenge
007 or equally coveted new games on NSO
Earthblade from ExOK Games (Maddy Thorson & friends)
Classic game collections (Capcom/Midway, etc)
(Physical releases strongly preferred, of course)
My ravenous appetite for games hasn't waned since I was a kid, but my available free time most definitely has!
I love how nobody voted 1-2 Switch 2 lol
I'd very much like some new Ace Attorney content. Would love a collection of 4-6 or AA7! I expect some information for Triangle Strategy since its coming soon.
My far out there, most definitely not happening hope is a MegaMan Battle Network collection because I loved those games. Have all six on GBA but would love to be able to play them on Switch on my TV.
HOTD, & TMNT & PD2 update
Some Metroid news
Wild card - Wairoland 6
My "something else" would be Pikmin 4. But I've nearly lost all hope on that one.
I'm most excited about Kirby. Anything else is just nice addition to an already exciting game release. Icing on the cake.
Staying very low expectation wise.
We all deserve a new Mario platform game or DK of epic size in full game legendary mode.
Surly their in house AAA teams must have something other than remakes and BOTW2.
It’s almost 5 years since we had Mario Odyssey the last big in house platform game.
@Gerald Forever Entertainment need to finish work on House of the Dead I & II remakes before continuing work on Zwei.
Personally, what I'd love most even if it's a100% not to happen, is paper mario remaster trilogy
While I would love Metroid Prime Trilogy Remaster on Switch, I also want the Final Fantasy Pixel remaster 1-6 to be released on Switch.
Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD, but it's not happening.
I always want Nintendo to simply surprise me. Although if they announced Master of Magic remake for the Switch it would be baller.
Can we get a new Starfy? That series needs a comeback.
ARMS 2 is what I would want to see the most. Of the available options for wild prediction, I would really want to have the Metroid Prime Trilogy HD be a release for the Switch. If Metroid Prime is being fully remade, that would be fine, but no remaster should be discussed unless it's the full Trilogy. I don't know if they announce anything Metroid this soon after Metroid Dread though.
Wish list: TMNT, Prime trilogy HD, botw title, Kirby and goldeneye. Hypetrain here we come😅. Oh and a restock of the N64 controller would be nice. Not upgrading online until I get one
@Edwirichuu Honestly, I have no idea what Xenoblade 3 would be like if it's announced. (Spoilers for Xenoblade 1 and 2) I think it would be cool if we got to play as Klaus during the events before he recreated the universe like a prequel, but of course, that's unlikely to happen lol. I wouldn't say no to seeing the Xenoblade 2 characters again in a future game though.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series on Switch (fingers crossed)
More botw2, more bayonetta 3, 3D Donkey kong and Metroid Prime 4, that's what I want.
And a new 3D Mario would also be great.
F-Zero or nowt
F-Zero Fans! THIS IS THE ONE!!!!
Pikmin 4 or the Zelda Oracle remakes.
@Friendly You and me both! They could do some fun cross overs with Star Fox and Metroid too.
I don't expect anything... just an F-zero... nothing major..... hmm... (jumps off the window)
As a Nintendo fan, can you ever afford to be anymore than cautiously optimistic? The only things you can guarantee is there will be something you don’t expect to be announced, announced, and something that seems like a no brainer to be announced mysteriously absent.
That’s okay. We’ve come to expect it, and I’ll love them anyways.
Hate to be: "That Guy" but Mario + Rabbids, Bayonetta 3, Advance Wars and Triangle Strategy aren't first party games.
Wild prediction: Persona 3, 4 & 5 trilogy.
The hype is real!
I’m hoping for Splat 3 release date and a few wild cards (new tomodachi life, new kid icarus)
I'm really hyped for some reason. I think Nintendo will pull something big tonight, my hopes are for a new Fire Emblem game, but Nintendo Kart / Mario Kart 9 would be a welcome surprise too!
@NerdyBoutKirby
I’m still waiting for Starfy 1-4 to be localized. I wonder why they never released the GBA Stargy games in the West?
@harlowlad
I can’t see them announce FF Pixel for Switch until after FF6 is out for IOS and Steam. I suspect they want people to buy these on Steam/ Mobile first then again on consoles. That has to be it because they claim they will consider putting them on consoles if the demand is there (Meaning if enough people buy the Steam/ Mobile releases).
Hoping for more info on BOTW2 and Silksong!
Just hope they toss a good sale afterwards since nothing there is too exciting to me.
I really made a whole list of the comments predictions...
Anways I wish for any old Square Enix game to get a remake that isn't Final Fantasy (cough cough Secret of Evermore cough cough)
But I'm predicting Fire Emblem, its been awhile since I've heard something from those guys.
I’d love to have a look at the remake of Panzer Dragoon Zwei. Wild prediction is I’d love someone to license the rights to remake or reverse engineer the source code and port Panzer Dragoon Saga. Maybe Monolith Soft for a remake or M2 for a port?
Pikmin 4 but it probably is going to be Splatoon 3
Pikmin 4 is by far the most exciting thing I would like to see. Just to know it exists.
IDK really, not many things seem to get me excited these days.
@Z-Core
I voted 1-2-Switch 2.
I really meant it.
I really want that quirky game get sequel. 😁
I want to see a new 3D (open world?) Donkey Kong the most. But any of the following...
3D Mario, the return of the "New Super Mario" series, Mario Kart 9, Metroid Prime Remake, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD, Metroid Prime 4, LOZ Port Collection (Wind Waker/Twilight Princess would be cool, but I'd rather see OOT HD/MM HD)
...would be great to see.
Everyone remember I have to pay them 1000$ us if Mario kart 9 doesn’t show up
They are probably gonna push Kirby. Maybe will get an Arceus DLC. A N64 game will be announced for lame NSO. I’m hoping and praying for Xenoblade title to be announced. That is my only hype. Bayonetta release date or Breath of the Wild release date.
@Cinderace That’s $1000. Are you sure you have that kind of money?
I would be over the moon with metroid prime trilogy. Devo'd I once sold it. Don't think it will happen though
@Cinderace I think that has literally no chance the way 8 is selling. Would make more sense to be a launch game next gen
@Aya-chan I thought that as well
I think 20 minutes will be dedicated to SplaTHREEn
How about DLC for Pokemon Legends Arceus? These kind of stuff is usually announced in a Pokémon Presents, so maybe not yet.
In fact, I'll like for more content for currently avaliable games. Maybe ending support for ACNH so soon was a bad idea, I like when the biggest games get supported for the years to come instead of just following a cycle of releases again and again... I mean these are still the big norm, but please... consider making games that ensure you it was well-spent money.
On the games themselves, once again I'm really hoping for just two first party games to be announced: 3D Mario and Xenoblade 3 (however, only one of them could be the one more thing). I want to know about BoTW's sequel too.
Finally, I'm hoping some games from the so-called "third-party-games-that-should-have-arrived-on-Switch-long-ago" (I think) list.
You know what I'm talking about right? MGSV, any game of the new Tomb Raider trilogy, any game of the Batman Arkham Trilogy... these kind of games! It's seriously a mystery why many of these aren't on Switch yet.
Unlikely to happen, but since we got a remake of Famicom tantei, I would love to see remake of Shin onigashima
Well at least the Powerslave Exhumed remaster is out tomorrow if we (I) get disappointed
I don't know tbh. Turok 1+2 and Shadow Man also
@River3636 as long as we t comes out to under 5 million it’s fine
It seems too early for a new Mario kart. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a new 3D Mario teaser. Also, botw2 is practically a must - name and release date.
Well the Switch best year was the first year and half of the console life.
Since then down hill mostly and just ok and remakes.
Sad really with that money they have made, their in house studios are just to slow and not big enough.
@Vortexeo XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 3 LET'S GOOOOO
@Edwirichuu DUUUUUUUUUUUDE OH MY GODDDDDDDDDD I CANT TELL YOU HOW HYPED I AMMMMMMM
F-Zero got shafted again...
@Lemmy_the_Koopa Were you really expecting F-Zero? Might as well complain that there hasn't been a new Yoshi's Cookie. That's about as relevant as it is in 2022.
@Troll_Decimator XDDDD no need to be so harsh, we all have dreams
@Troll_Decimator Yes, I was expecting an IP a lot of interviewers bring up with devs all the time they get to interview them....
@Krambo42 Wow, we did get a great direct! 😁
@Lemmy_the_Koopa Last I checked, interviewers are not business experts. The point is, expecting something that Nintendo has shown little to no interest in is an exercise in frustration. I'm sure F-Zero will come back one day, but having an expectation for it every Direct is ridiculous.
@River3636 yep
@WaveBoy I’d be very happy with that 😉
