Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

Xenoventures, eh, @Sdelintwouters .... Sounds like a game I'd get, too! Bayonetta 3 being out anytime soon is Pie in the Sky material, @skywake. 4 being nearly done is so far into the realms of fantasy, I'd like some of whatever you're on to dream of that, lol! In fact, if they did shock drop 3, I'd probably have a heart attack & die on the spot, so perhaps that isn't a good idea

@JesseA I saw a YT post about the leaks but didn't watch the vid. I'd rather find out later today.

@X-Slayer yeah yeah it's fixed

T-minus nine hours, lol.

@Magician boom. Its at a wierd time for me. Just getting done with work, Kids getting home from school. I'll be doing my best to tune in and if I need to rewatch I will.

Honestly just one of Xenoblade or Fire Emblem will probably make my year. Stack that on top of BotW sequel, Kirby and Legends Arceus and we already have a great year for the Switch without considering third parties and other releases.

I think it's about time we had another Warriors spin-off. Mushroom Kingdom Warriors, anyone?

Sorry I didn't mean to make it seem like I'd be unhappy for that to happen, I'd actually be super stoked if my list came true. Maybe the "information about games we know enough about" came across as negative, but I was just trying to set a realistic prediction there since that's been the pattern of most past directs.

@Buziel All of the YT Nintendo loyalists seem to agree that a Fire Emblem announcement is a lock for tonight. One of the "three big surprises" set at the beginning, middle, or end of the Direct. Depending on how much credence you give to Nintendo leaker Samus Hunter. I think the various online leaks have suggested it's either a re-remake of Gaiden (Valentia) or a remake of Genealogy.

That might be too much of a change to Warriors formula imo. I could see another Fire Emblem with Three Houses added to it or a third Hyrule Warriors game so it has both lots of characters.

If we are talking about Nintendo and Tecmo Koei crossovers then I'd like to see a new Pokémon Conquest. It's a Poke-spin off I don't see talked enough about.

@Magician dang, valentia is rumored? I just asked my wife to get it for me and I think it arrived from Amazon yesterday 😅. Thank the heavens for prime and free returns.

@Magician I hope if Valentia does come that the other 3DS games from the Switch era that were overlooked because it wasn't on Switch also come like Yoshi's Woolly World and Samus Returns (in the former game do a Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition type situation where you have the graphics of Wii U version and all the content of the 3DS version).

@NintendoByNature @Grumblevolcano Yeah, should be interesting. Personally I don't have a preference for whichever Fire Emblem gets announced. I still haven't fired up my copy of 3H yet, lol. But as an rpg fan I'll support whatever game Intelligent Systems serve up.

@NinChocolate I would have thought both Zelda and Sonic would be E3 games myself unless they are coming out before/around E3.

I wouldn't count on there being a Nintendo themed Warriors announcement.

There's a new Warriors game coming out in May based on a Japanese mobile game I believe, and it is Switch exclusive already (outside of a Steam release).

This'll be the first general Direct in 4 years that hasn't had anything to do with an upcoming fighter reveal for Smash.

• March 2018 - Inkling
• E3 2018 - Daisy and Ridley
• September 2018 - Isabelle
• February 2019 - "Joker is coming soon"
• E3 2019 - Hero and Banjo
• September 2019 - "Banjo is out later today" and Terry
• March 2020 Mini - ARMS
• February 2021 - Pyra/Mythra
• E3 2021 - Kazuya
• September 2021 - "Final fighter revealed on October 5th"

@RR529 2017 had 3 separate Warriors games come out, including Fire Emblem Warriors. I wouldn't rule it out solely on there being another release in the series.

@CactusMan Yeah, there's been a Persona 4 rumour floating about for awhile which makes sense since it was ported to PC and did MEGA bucks.

Personally I just want Persona 3 ultimate edition regardless of platform, it's got two enhanced versions that need consolidating.

@link3710, yeah, with the way they churn them out I don't doubt there might be more Warriors games in general, I just doubt they'd release two or more Switch exclusive ones in the same year. Could be wrong though.

If we're doing 3DS ports then what price for Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. and Federation Force getting some love? Two games that tanked undeservedly and would be sweet to see getting a second chance.

@gcunit
I would like to see Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers get sequel or new Dillon games on Nintendo Switch.
