I was 100% certain that we were gonna have to wait until around E3 time. Ok, here we go~!
My immediate predictions:
-Mario Odyssey 2
-a Mario sports game or Super Mario Party 2
-a Fallout game port
-a 2D Metroid
-More on all the games coming out in the couple of months we already know about
-Either Pokemon or Zelda will skip this direct entirely for their own thing (if Zelda does, guaranteed they'll announce an upcoming Zelda direct here)
-a new Pushmo game
-a surprise update for a game no one expected to get a surprise update (not Smash)
-Fall Guys port
Honestly, I'm just going to expect Smash to be the main focus of the direct, so I don't get disappointed. If there's more, then good. However, I learned to temper my expectations whenever smash is involved.

@kkslider5552000 Mario Kart 9 probably won't be on the switch, but the next console. Mainly due to the fact that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still selling well.

I have a feeling Mario Kart 9 will never exist. Brand new Mario Kart games, sure. But I don’t think it will be called Mario Kart 9. I’m prepared to be proven wrong though
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
Remember when that one Partner Showcase was half Monster Hunter Rise but still called a Partner Showcase? I could see that happening to this direct but with Zelda.

@VoidofLight I just feel like it’s so... coincidental hat this happened immediately after the Zelda copyright rumours. I guess yeah it was would make more sense for it to be Smash-focused but there has to be SOMETHING Zelda in there. Not BotW 2 though, that’s for Christmas.
@VoidofLight The mentioning of Smash does feel like there's more than just a fighter announcement. Too early for a Fighters Pass 3 announcement so maybe a retro stage pack containing stages like Poke Floats, Mute City (Melee), MK7 Rainbow Road, etc.
@BabyYoda71 I feel like BOTW 2, if it's coming this year, could potentially get a "One last thing" mention. However the chances are probably slim. As for the trade marks, the phantom hourglass one could mean just a normal game reveal or something, like a small trailer if there truly is a remake coming for it.

While researching my kinda-daft Pullblox piece, I realised it might... actually... come true?? Intelligent aren't working on anything that they've already announced... and it's been a few years since the last one...
If they announce a new Pullblox I am taking all the credit.
Now that Ghost Trick and Paper Mario TTYD are on the Switch, I have no purpose in life... EXCEPT TO ASK FOR FANTASY LIFE ON THE SWITCH!!! YEAHHHH BOIIII
@Grumblevolcano It could be that the game is getting a significant update too. I know that they said fighter's pass 2 is probably the last one they'll do, so I doubt there's going to be a third one.. however, you never know.

I just wish that all of the current gen games that I want to come over weren't disconfirmed. Its really hurt as Kingdom Hearts, Yakuza, and Final Fantasy 15 have all gotten disconfirmed, and Neir Automata and Persona 5 are all but disconfirmed. I just hope that we at least get a release date for Subnautica, and something out of Metroid. And I still have hope for a Mother trilogy remake, I refuse to believe that the Hibonichi Mother Project was for nothing. And hey, Golden Sun also seems likely, given that the only other game that Camelot would be making right now would be Mario Golf, and that would have revealed at the Mario 35th direct.
Well, a lot hope IS are working on the next Fire Emblem, @KateGray .... Maybe a collection of some older ones for Switch or remakes, etc, if the next new one is awhile away! Perhaps they can do your thing as well, though?
