Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

No Direct this week, this is the 3pm UK time Nintendo news:

With Yacht Club Games's announcement being a bit of a non-event, we now look towards the week of the 20th.

Pokemon Direct on 27 February as usual.

I'm gonna speculate what this month's Direct could look like (Assuming we're getting one this month that is). I will rank reveals + showcases based on how much I'm expecting them to show up. This list will only cover previously revealed games.

1 - Practically guaranteed: Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp, Splatoon 3, Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Triangle Strategy

2 - Wouldn't be surprised if appearance was made: BOTW 2, Bayonetta 3, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

3 - Would be surprised if appearance was made: Silksong

4 - Keep dreaming: Metroid Prime 4

I just want another LEGO games without popular Western licensed franchises such as Western superheroes / Star Wars / etc.
I never like popular Western franchises like that, gimme something Normal like LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER.

@Anti-Matter I want lego batman trilogy. They're perhaps the best lego games.

@NintendoByNature
I don't even like Western superheroes such as Marvel, Batman, Spiderman, etc and will never care their existence.
I prefer Normal peoples with Normal outfits such as Fireman, Police, Farmer, Construction worker, etc without flashy outfits.
LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER is the only LEGO game I like for No Western superheroes things on it. Police is a real hero than Western superheroes in my opinion.

@Anti-Matter batman is human. He is the ultimate hero! Just a rich guy with a sweet bat cave and dope gadgets.

Edit: yea, firefighters and police offers are real heros though. Just saying, batman is out there fighting super villians with no super powers.

@NintendoByNature
I never like Batman, also as I found his another games with rated M, Batman was instantly banned in my gaming area.
No Batman things allowed in my gaming area.
Sorry, I never like and will never like any Western franchises like that. I never like the popularity from famous Western franchises like that. It just very irritating for me.

@Anti-Matter If you won't play Batman stuff because he has an M rate game, I have bad news for you about M-rate games that have police officers then...

@link3710 you know, Batman itself has a pretty prominent policeman character in it....

@link3710 Wait, Anti plays Final Fantasy, but Final Fantasy has M rated titles! Final Fantasy 13 has an M rated spin-off game!

@VoidofLight Smash has gotta be off limits for him too; Snake and Bayonetta are contaminating the fighting scene with their M-rated origins.

@MonadoBoy And he can't touch any of the games that got in smash either, since they were probably tainted by M rated characters, just by association.

I'm not overly keen on calling cops or superheroes as heroes (I generally refer to Batman/Marvel stuff as comic book games/movies/shows) as it's water downing the meaning of being a hero and the real hero cops whilst also romanticising a job as heroic. Plus most cops I know are typically bit of bell anyway, same applies to people in the army whenever there are squaddies on a night out you know they are gonna be so annoying/causing trouble all night long.

@StarPoint Yeah, it's easy to expect previously announced games to appear in the next direct, especially since a couple of those games are nearing their planned release dates. That's what I think they'd cover, anyway. As for Metroid Prime 4, yeah...I'm not expecting news about that game at this point. I wonder how things are going with its development.

@VoidofLight He actually got upset about Final Fantasy XV and XVI being too violent, or something like that. XVI in particular has been given a mature rating, I believe. Just curious, what was that spin-off game called? The only FF game I played a good chunk of was VII.

@MarioLover92 Is FF Type-0 what you're asking about? I believe it was the first M-rated FF game.
Where a chocobo was bleeding out like a stuck pig in Type-0's opening cut scene and all that.

@Sdelintwouters I am. I won't get my hopes up but I wouldn't be surprised if they announced one.

@Sdelintwouters We're all hopeful. "Will this week be the week? No? Well then perhaps next week." Will be the question everyone poses, week in and week out, until it actually happens.

And when it does happen, afterwards we immediately ask, "so when's the next one?"

The trials and tribulations of being a fan to one particular piece of plastic called Nintendo Switch.

We could have everything we want and we'd still want more.

@Sdelintwouters
Gluttons. The lot of us.
