I'd rather Miiverse stay in my memories. A modern take would just end up being twitter but worse. The original was special because it was a mess with moderation and existence in general. It wasn't toxic, but just weird and funny.

@Eagly Nah, Miiverse got shut down because it was a failed experiment. A glorious one, but a failed one. It was full of people drawing NSFW images, and posting random non-sense. The Admin were AI, but it didn't seem to be doing a good job at fixing the platform. Miiverse was pretty much a garbage fire, and that's what made it so good in the first place.

That Splatoon 3 announcement pretty much deconfirms Direct happening this year. Seems clear at this point December has no retail 1st party releases but instead Nintendo will fill the month with DLC and content updates in its place.
Yessss Splatoon 3 for Best Multiplayer Game and Family Game!! I also think Bayo 3 could win Best Action Game. Tears of the Kingdom will absolutely win the most anticipated. Some great Nintendo representation this year; I felt last year was pretty light on their stuff overall. I feel bad for Xenoblade 3 because I feel like it would win if it wasn't stacked up against games like Elden Ring. I'll still vote for it in its respective categories so it may still have a fighting chance.
Holy cow Elden Ring and Ragnarok are gonna take home so many awards.
The February 2018 release wasn't announced until the Game Awards (Bayonetta 1+2) and Nintendo didn't give Kirby Star Allies a March 2018 release until the January 2018 Direct Mini
Yoshi's Woolly World wasn't given a March 2019 release until a standalone trailer in January 2019.
E3 2019 revealed Animal Crossing New Horizons for March 20th 2020 though an extra March game (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remake) was announced in a January Pokemon Direct
Nintendo treated MH Rise as the March 2021 release which got its release date in the September 2020 Partner Showcase
Kirby and the Forgotten Land was given its March 2022 release date in a standalone trailer in January 2022
So the situation is mostly that the March release is confirmed in January but Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remake is the only case where the game is announced in January. Looking at the already announced games that don't have release dates:
Pikmin 4 - 2023
Metroid Prime 4 - TBA
Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp - TBA
Detective Pikachu - TBA
Definitely not Prime 4 and Pikmin 4 would've been given a Spring 2023 release timing in the Direct if it was considered for March.
So I do feel the March release is going to end up being either Detective Pikachu being given a release date in a January 2023 Pokemon Presents which also announces an Expansion Pass for Scarlet/Violet or Advance Wars resurfaces in early January with a March release date.
@Grumblevolcano
Small correction: Breath of the Wild was only given a generic 2017 release year in April 2016. The NX itself was given a more specific March 2017 release window.
It wasn't until the January 2017 Switch presentation when Nintendo revealed that BOTW would be a Switch launch title.
@VoidofLight It all depends on release timing. If Detective Pikachu did end up releasing in March, Pokemon Day would be too late for a Pokemon Presents so they'd do a Pokemon Presents in January instead (that's how things worked in 2020 given the Mystery Dungeon remake's March release). If however it releases April or later then I agree that they'd just do it on Pokemon Day.
There's no way Detective Pikachu is releasing early next year. At this point I'm more willing to believe the game was canceled or rebooted.
A new Pokémon Mystery Dungeon seems like a good candidate for release next year. The last PMD entry was a remake that launched nearly 3 years ago - its due time for another title, preferably a new entry. That, alongside the inevitable DLC for Scarlet/Violet, should be enough new Pokémon content for Switch in 2023.
@Giancarlothomaz That makes no sense, given the movie's sequel was canned because there was no reason for a sequel. With the game however, it's a direct continuation of where the original game left off, as the original left of on a cliffhanger.
