@IceClimbers haha for sure. We'll see what happens tomorrow! I think the 3D mario Allstars was what it was because there weren't any HD versions yet. Had there been, I feel like that collection would've gone very differently, or maybe not a collection at all. No way nintendo would release 3(new) HD versions of games in one collection for $60. So that made sense. But, I think with HD versions of WW/TP already available, they'd kinda have to give us those or people would be irate. I on the other hand, will buy either way 🙂, so you won't see a complaint from little old me.
@NintendoByNature@IceClimbers I think it's more about the Wii U to be honest, Nintendo's approach appears to have been save as much of the Wii U as possible such that when the system is shut down completely not much that Nintendo can control is lost. We got loads of Wii U ports, sequels saved a lot of the Wii U content when there wasn't a port (e.g. between Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, most of the Splatoon 1 stages are in either game with more seemingly inbound in the future), NSO and 3rd party collections got a lot of Wii U VC releases, etc.
I will say it's odd they didn't use a similar approach for 3DS as that'll also be shut down the same time.
It'll be the Wii version for this reason alone- Link is left handed in the GC version, and they'll include gyro aiming for the bow. They need the right handed Wii version to facilitate that.
Assuming we get the Zeldas, the only Wii U games I wish would still get ported are Xenoblade X, Yoshi's Wooly World, and the TurboGrafx-16 VC releases. They should really add them to Nintendo Switch Online.
I need Blazing Lazers and Soldier Blade on Switch.

Sometimes they do. Other times they announce just 1. Other times none.
If they do, that's great. But I'm not getting my hopes up for something that might not happen. I'd rather expect nothing for next year barring the early 2023 winter release, and if we get more it'll be a pleasant surprise. And if not, no harm no foul.
The only things I'm actively interested in specifically for this direct:
-Advance Wars not being dead
-More BOTW2 footage
-Nintendo remembering to still advertise the many games coming out next month
-Mario Party Superstars DLC
-Capcom remembering this is Megaman's 35th anniversary
-NSO getting more games
I mean there might be a bunch of other cool things, but it could be any number of things, and this is specifically what I would want them to do right now (also outside of Splatoon 3 I don't need to buy another 60 dollar game until BOTW2 anyway)
@JaxonH I think Splatoon 3 is going to get a "For all of you people who just bought the game here's a new weapon and some special limited edition gear to celebrate a great launch!" update.
@JaxonH Oh yeah It Takes Two I'd consider a lock. I was avoiding 3rd party port predictions for the most part but there will be a few of those.
Fatal Frame 4 is a new rumor from The Snitch, who leaked stuff like the Pac-World release and Lies of P being on Game Pass day 1, which is why I listed it. That game finally getting localized and coming to a modern system seems like the kind of random 3rd party announcement that would happen in the Direct.
Wouldn't it be too early for Wave 3 of MK8 DLC? Seems like that would be a November or December twitter announcement with the release a week or so after. Really hope we get that Batman collection confirmed. Too much smoke behind that to be a bogus rumor.
@MsJubilee I just bought it on wii u about a month ago actually lol. I never played it, but did play asylum, city, and knight. However, I'd love a collection to revisit all of them.
Spacing 6 packs out over 2 yrs means 4 months apart between waves. We literally just got a wave a month ago. I wouldn't expect to hear anything on Wave 3 until November or December.
@Grumblevolcano
I don't think Nintendo coordinates with Sony for Direct times. They've done all sorts of different times. Sometimes it's morning in US, sometimes it's the afternoon in the US. I'm pretty sure it's early because that's just when they wanted to do it. If they were coordinating one of the two would just schedule for 2 days later or something.

Oh, and I'd wager there's a 90% change we get a trailer for Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Title Update 2.0 with reveals for the other monsters besides Flaming Espinos.
I expect a Mizutsune subspecies and 2 other wildcards.
I'm so excited for the Direct, but depression always sets in at the same time, realizing whatever cool games are revealed, aren't going to be available for several more months. And the wait will be excruciating, especially if it's Metroid Prime, Zelda WW/TP, new Fire Emblem or F-Zero.
@Ninfan
Not yet. I believe it's an October release.
7 years on and I'm still amazed how perfect a game Splatoon is - just in the core concept and the basic execution of Turf Wars.
Everything just feels so balanced and finely tuned:
The dichotomy of being in kid form (offensive, the main way to attack your enemy / spread ink, but uses ink and makes you more vulnerable) and squid form (more agile, defensive, stealthy, restores ink, but loses you opportunity to spread ink).
The risk/reward of attacking enemy turf (covering enemy ink is beneficial, but enemies have an easier time maneuvering if they have a lot of their own ink around)
Similarly the risk/reward of diving into the action (incl. aiming for enemy "splats") vs. filling the map in the sidelines
Similarly the risk/reward of launching yourself to your team-mate (saving time) vs. moving manually to the action (avoiding vulnerability)
It all just feels so damn perfect and intuitive that it's very much an "easy to learn; tough to master" type of game.
Absolutely not surprised this has become Nintendo's big new IP of the past decade.
