Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@Magician I'm eager to see something Donkey Kong related! I'm thinking the one more thing won't be BOTW2 or Splatoon. I'm assuming BOTW2 is the big game for the 2022 holidays, if that's wrong and it's earlier in the year then we could see it. Also I'm assuming Splatoon is April - July release, so maybe they won't ramp up the updates on that until January?

@MarioBrickLayer yep it’s such a lovingly crafted game!

Agree with all your suggestions - Captain Toad (and the Toad Brigade) as the final Smash character sounds good too right? I don’t think there is any form of Toad as a fighter yet

@BongoBongo Peach uses a Toad as a shield. It's a bit cruel really, imagine Queen Elizabeth grabbing a random bloke on the street to use as a weapon.

@jump 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Final predictions/wishlist:

Nintendo/"2nd party":

• AoC DLC
• Bayonetta 3
• Kirby
• N64 NSO update
• Smash fighter
• Splatoon 3
• Wii U port (Wooly World?)
• Xenoblade 3 (or other Monolith project)

3rd Party:

• Dragon Quest (more info on Treasures &/or Infinity Strash)
• GBA Castlevania collection
• GTA collection
• Klonoa HD collection
• Resident Evil "Switch"

Do I expect most of these to happen? Well no, but it's fun to speculate.

@RR529 I hope you're right about the GTA collection, but as it's multi platform I don't think it will be in.

I'd like to see the Disney Saturday Morning Collection come to switch after it was released on other platforms, maybe that can happen with the other disney games getting an expanded re-release?

I don't think we'll hear anything about the GTA collection until GTAV PS5/Series X|S has been released and that got delayed to March 2022.

They’ll tease that metroid prime trilogy port

@RR529 that would be a pretty solid list, for me at least. I'd take half of those announcements

@Grumblevolcano Could the trilogy be used to fill the gap the delay has created?

@1UP_MARIO How do you think they'll tease it?! I think it will be Oct 22 Trilogy Release and Oct 23 Metroid Prime 4.

@RR529 @NintendoByNature Agreed, a solid list, personally I would prefer Donkey Kong to Kirby! I doubt we'd see both of them in this Direct, but I'd be surprised if both haven't been released/announced in the next 12 months.

@MarioBrickLayer too close together. They’ll show it but give it a late date near 2022

@MarioBrickLayer yea, dk would be a solid announcement for sure

@jump
"imagine Queen Elizabeth grabbing a random bloke on the street to use as a weapon."

There are spoilers about what’s to be shown at the Direct on Twitter. I won’t share here because I don’t think it’s fair but be careful.

I just saw your post, decided to avoid Twitter, clicked on the home page of this site and saw a big spoiler!! Annoyed!!

@FragRed NL just appeared to put one front and center on the home page

@MarioBrickLayer @NintendoByNature Good job NL, you just couldn’t resist waiting a few hours for the official announcement.

I'll probably be one of the few not interested in that ..... Avoid the whole internet if you really don't want any leaks & suchlike

@FragRed yea pretty lame
