After a whole bunch of rumours, Nintendo has officially announced a new Direct Showcase, scheduled to air on September 13th at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST / 10pm AWST / 2am NZST. Nintendo UK has also announced that it will not stream the Direct as a mark of respect for the country's current period of national mourning; as such, it will be published as a video-on-demand on its YouTube channel at 4pm BST. This won't make any difference, of course, since the NA livestream will be available at the designated time.
The Direct will be approximately 40 minutes in duration and will focus primarily on games releasing this Winter.
As for what exactly Nintendo will show during this Direct..? Well, we'll just have to wait and see. As per the aforementioned rumours, high profile games such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Metroid Prime are anticipated to make an appearance, and we reckon it's about high time we got an official title announcement for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, don't you?
Maybe... *whispers*... Metroid Prime 4..? Pleeeease, Nintendo!
So there you have it folks; a Nintendo Direct is finally on its way. Wipe the sweat off your brow and let us know what you're hoping for in the comments below!

Ah, good. F-Zero here we come!
7am? That’s cold Nintendo. However I shall be there with bells on. No expectations as I am behind on games (and content with what has been announced already) but always happy for new info.
Here we go. Time for the big zelda direct we've all been waiting for. Gimme zelda, FE, Advanced Wars Release date, new DKC or Mario, some hollow knight, and maybe RE and I'll be the happiest clam this side of the pond.
The rumors were true this time, omg
It feels good. This announcement was welcomed with open arms.
10 am? Can't remember the last time we had one so early in the day.
Also, lol. I thought Directs were dead, NL?
Heh, looks like the rumors are true.
Bring on
Zeldamore captain toad.Nice
10am? Damn. I've got a work meeting and I speak at said work meeting. Curse you daily life grind!!!!
Please, Metroid Prime Remaster/Remake be real!
Cor blimey! I’ll be keeping my excitement levels in check, though I’m hoping we might see some Breath of the Wild 2 and this rumoured Donkey Kong game
No "mini" no "partner showcase", all aboard the hype train!!
Finally, we got there in the end. Also for all the UK folk it's 3pm Tuesday afternoon.
Fingers crossed for some Zelda, Metriod & Advance Wars news!
Wooooo!!! My body is Reggie!!!!
Let's finish off the Wii U Ports now shall we?
Zelda:WW, TP and for good measure let's throw in Link Between Worlds
Metronid Prime anything
Xeno Chron X
Virtual Console announcement? (I can dream)
NintendoLand2?
THANK GOD it’s not late in the afternoon! I can actually catch it before work for once.
Give me Wave Race 4 you cowards!
Honestly, happy for any news/updates - can't wait! But maybe not such a focus on Fire Emblem yeah?
4pm CEST is perfect. Directly after I'll finish working for that day
Woohoo! And I'm off work tomorrow!
Not that I need any more games right now, but still, it's always a good time to see what's coming to our mighty little hybrid.
I wonder if any Holiday 2022 surprises will shadow drop??
Zelda botw 2 stuff please!!!
4 hours ago some you tube videos i saw confirmed it was for tomorrow..i love you tube!!
Hollow Knight: Silksong please? Thanks!
Ok, so if it’s 8 AM my time and around 40 minutes long….
I’ll have 5 minutes to spare before school. THANK YOU nintendo.
Lovely "A service to celebrate the Queen's life will be held at 15:00." in Edinburgh.....ah well I know what I'm watching
we know for the most part what will be in the direct tomorrow i am looking forward to something we do not know some big surprise!!
Really exciting, biggest hope is wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass.
So guess the rumors were true then. I'll be tuning in tomorrow for sure.
I’ll be at work. Radio silence all the way home…one hand over the TV screen when I launch YouTube…no expectations at all which always makes these shows more enjoyable.
Fingers crossed for Metroid Prime Federation Force 2!
Early? What do you mean? It is at 4pm in the afternoon!
But seriously, I hope to hear SOMETHING about Advance Wars and I'd happily add a few Zelda remakes to my huge backlog.
Im at least glad to have a direct happening i missed that we didnt have the summer one im not expecting much like most of us but we will see for ourselves
I hope they announce something for the NSO since it’s around this time that a lot of people will decide to renew or not. GBA or Gamecube please?
Let's go! Can't wait for some news on a new Fire Emblem game! And any news regarding Metroid and Zelda is welcome as well!
@syrupdash Gimme some GB & GBC and I'll be happy for another year, thanks.
SMH for people saying that the rumors were true, since Nintendo ALWAYS had a Direct and September so if you are saying "Nintendo Direct next week" you have 1/4 chance to guess at the start of the month.
I'm hoping for a Pikmin 1&2 HD release honestly. I miss playing the second game.
FINALLY LET'S GO
So does the UK get it 3pm or 4pm? I’m confused…
Does it mean we can stream it on Nintendo’s other channels at 3pm, but the Nintendo UK account won’t put it up until 4pm?
Hurray!
A Super Special Direct focussed on how cool the No Man's Sky port will be! Bring it on!!
noooooo I'll be at work.. noooooo!!!
IT’S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!
…But there’s other’s I’d love to see too. Kid Icarus, Tomodachi Life, more Super Mario games, Zelda remasters, and Metroid Prime remasters. Game Boy and Game Boy Advance for NSO seems likely. I’ll be surprised if the Super Mario Bros. movie teaser trailer isn’t in it. We need this to be big, Nintendo!
Zelda is a must. I’m just so tired of calling the next Zelda “Breath of the Wild 2” all these years.
How exciting!!
@Drew250 because they are morning the death of the queen.
My predictions every Wii U game not ported over gets ported also new fzero mario kart Dlc pikmin also Nintendo world with classic games from nes game boy in retro clection Nintendo themed ear buds also Nintendo music and every sport added the Nintendo sports
Great news! Maybe time for a brand new real 3D Mario game! Also to get some sales! I think it is time to do a sale on this Famicom Detective Club game! Been out for a year and a half now and never was discounted yet! Starting to lose hope getting this digital only game for a reduced price after waiting so long...
Awesome news.
I can't wait to watch it.
C’mon Metroid Prime Federation Force 2 🤞
@Drew250 I’m a little confused with that too, I selected to live stream from the American site of Nintendo on YouTube, not sure wether that will work
I hope they dont include pokemon scarlet/violet , we've seen more than enough.
Gotta keep expectations in check, but come on new Wave Race game. Looking forward to it.
next MK dlc, Zelda, Splatoon first update info, holiday game, updates for known games, new dlc for ?, um, idk, here's this game, etc.
Nice! If they give us more info on Mario Kart wave 3, I’m game with whatever news they throw on us! Maybe some more Persona 5 Royal info / gameplay would be cool to see
I’ll have to go dark tommorow until I get home to avoid spoilers, I’d rather them have it later in the day like they’ve done before
F Zero GX
New Wario Land game
GBA on Expansion pack
Golden Eye
Diddy Kong Racing
Rogue legacy 2
Silksong shadow drop
@Drew250 The UK gets it at 4pm. The difference is that the live broadcast at 3pm will only not be aired on Nintendo UK's channels. You can still watch other versions at 3pm however, and most people just watch the American broadcast anyway. So you're not missing out.
It's really, really dumb that the whole "national mourning" thing is being forced upon us here in the UK. And why it should have any effect whatsoever on this is beyond me. It's a stream, online and has nothing to do with the Queen. People can decide whether or not they want to mourn for her. An online stream is unmanned and totally at the discretion of the audience.
Breath of the Wild 2 is Spring 2023, isn't it? This direct is primarily focused on winter releases.
Not sure what the queen has to do with a video game stream
@Drew250 Exactly as you described. It just means that it will get directly uploaded on Nintendo UK's Youtube channel rather than them streaming and this will be done at 4pm. You can however stream it at 3pm on any of the other Nintendo Youtube channels (Nintendo of America, Nintendo of Europe etc).
Metroid's gotta be tomorrow unless they're planning to reveal it on november 18 anniversary to release later. But early 2023 is probably reserved for BotW2 promo, so it's ON for sure. Let's go!
I could really use a wind waker port announcement to perk up my spirits.
And do something creative with tingle bottles (like the satchels in legends Arceus) so the photos are doable like on Wii U please.
@Grumblevolcano Wave 2 came out 6 weeks ago. But I like your optimism 😃
Here's me crossing my fingers that my work training tomorrow is scheduled for the afternoon so I can watch this as soon as it airs haha.
Otherwise I'll just have to catch it afterwards I guess.
@Drew250 It's at 3pm for UK
Where’s all the usual Grubb haters at now? Enjoy your crow plate
Expecting Bayonetta 3, and switch online updates.
Maybe a zelda CD-i HD remake!
do not get your hopes up for BOTW 2 tomorrow Nintendo loves to let us all down
Woohoo, here is hoping for announcements of ports of WW/TP for Switch
@BlueBCA Right there with you. I find the whole thing bizarre and the widespread acceptance of things being affected due to her passing is just baffling
@IronMan30 not a general Direct. Those usually were afternoon or evening. Typically, the other types of Directs, but there’s firsts for everything
Can't make the direct, as I'll be too busy mourning (actually, working), but look forward to catching up on the news here later!
@WiltonRoots same here.. lol!
The first of hopefully many directs during the King Charles era
We'll get:
Bayonetta 3
Pokemon
Advanced Wars Update
Zelda Title
Metroid Prime Update
MK Course Wave 3 Trailer
Switch Sports Golf Update
Checklist:
New 2D mario
New 3D mario
Mario and Rabbids footage
...
And the Splatoon 3 flounders height update
@dkxcalibur Surely its too early for wave 3?
I just need Breath Of the Wild 2 news.
@Captain_Toad Captain Toad would be AMAZING announcement!!!
LETS GO BABAYYYY I actually just want more splatoon 3 news lol. I bet they’ll announce next splatfest. I have zero hype for Zelda until I see more and feel like it’s actually launching soon. If wind waker is announced, that’s a big W
Cancelling all my meetings for tomorrow 3pm cause grown men needs some dopamine!
Hoping for Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Metroid Prime!
The time has finally come. I'm ready.
Blimey ...Jeff was right. There is a God after all.
@progx it's very early for the U.S.
As happy as I am that we're FINALLY getting a general Direct, the timing for me couldn't be worse thanks to my work schedule. I'll have to go on media blackout for most of the day. I'm happy to catch the news for some content after the fact, but I like being surprised by some reveals this way.
Series that haven’t gotten a new switch entry:
NSMB
Star fox
Pikmin
Donkey Kong
Mario kart
Ok I’ll bite… since we’re just wishing for random ish and setting uninhibited expectations… I’ll put out into the universe:
… Wun can only hope.
@DashKappei The direct part was obvious. Now we have to see if he right about its contents.
O wait just games releasing this winter?? I expect nothing big. Maybe MAYBE wind waker or something, but the schedules all filled up it seems
@dustinprewitt They will never remake the CD-I games. They don't even own them.
Exciting!
Oh, they will let us know everything about Splatoon 4.
I think it’s fun that we do not know and all I want are pleasant surprises and a new F-Zero
Please give us news about genshin impact. Though if they’re porting Zelda wind water and twilight princess HD to the switch I wouldn’t mind. Oh and also gamecube and gameboy NSO please that would be pretty awesome.
@MegaMari0 Dude, it sounds like you have a bad cough going on there. You might wanna call out.
@Crockin MOSTLY winter. There always a little extra. Besides that's a good six month window.
As a show of respect we will show the UK a non streamed version an hour later than everyone else because that is the best way to get over grief.
So will the Nintendo of Europe YT channel not be livestreaming either?
They say on twitter to stay tuned for updates from 16:00 CEST (3pm UK)
If they are streaming on their channel, surely for us UK people it'd may be better to check out their stream than the US one if potential regional differences (like with special edition announcements etc) arise.
BOOM.
Halleh-freaking-lujah
A Nintendo Direct early in September? Who could've seen that coming?
Bit sad the UK one isn't broadcasting but I understand given the circumstances. Regardless, give me Game Boy(s) for NSO please and thank you
This’ll seem completely out of the blue but I really want a Rhythm Heaven game
I’ll take a remake or completely new game just pls Nintendo
@Bunkerneath It's not about greif, it's about showing respect and sympathy to the people who miss her. It's super rude to party and celebrate how great your circumstances are right in front of someone whose loved one just died.
"as a mark of respect for the country's current period of national mourning; as such, it will be published as a video-on-demand on its YouTube channel at 4pm"
Well, I suppose it's less drastic than Parliament grinding to a halt or everyone scrambling for childcare / losing business next Monday, but still
If they announce GB for NSO I hope they include GBA games as well and not wait another year to add them. Otherwise I will have to hold off on the Expansion Pak for at least another year.
More Mario Rappids Footage
BOTW postponed apology
Just Dance Christmas Edition
2 new nes online Sp Editions
Cloud version FF7 Remake
& Complete disappointment
Obviously we're getting Mother 3. Guaranteed.
Virtual consoles triumphant return is nigh! A new Star Tropics in 3d! Soul Hackers 2 port announced along with a remade Soup Hackers 1. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde remastered.
Please New Golden Sun, New Donkey Kong, New F-Zero, New Kid Icarus, New Wave Race. That is all Nintendo.
OMG yes. I need those Zelda remakes (those two are the only Zelda games I have never played so imagine the excitement).
And I need new Mario. Please Mario Odyssey 2.
Considering that it's 70%-80% winter, I guess the remaining 20%-30% will be thrown in as little curveballs as to what to expect next year, which is fine. Regardless of what happens, I can't wait.
@Speedo Out of all the predictions I've seen, yours seems to be the mose plausible lol.
Oh god i hope my parents will let me come to school late
@luxoricious Dang. How is it possible that you've played Four Swords Adventure and niether of these two?!
Ok fine... less crazy Nintendo Direct Wishfuls:
Possible Ports/Announcements:
... Wun can only hope.
Would be super hyped to see some F-Zero love, be it a remaster or a new entry. My longshot dream though would be a new Wario Land game, as a couple others have mentioned. Never understood why he was relegated to mascot of a mini game series. Bring him back just once to his 2D platforming roots you cowards!
@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed you'll still be able to watch it on the main nintendo channel, it's just Nintendo uk won't be streaming it.
I hope it's not only an F-zero GX remaster. I wish they add some awesome new HD graphics to it but at the same time I need new content because I have been playing that game since it came out non stop. I need new tracks, vehicles, lots of vehicle parts, online, new story mode and a track editor. But first of all I need it to happen because it's only a rumour, so we will see... Also Zeldas and Metroids are always welcome to my games library
I'm going total radio silence from 3pm. Finish work at 5pm so will crack open a couple of cold beers and enjoy. Then come here and laugh as loads of people moaning about title x not being shown or title y not what they wanted. It's the simple things in life...
Is it just me that doesn't understand how not streaming it in the UK has anything to do with mourning the queen?
Another Direct, another excuse to keep fingers crossed for FFXIII and Dishonored collections, Xillia dilogy, remaining Star Oceans, long announced Ace Attorney 7 and... the rest of my portbegging list.
Probably not much to wish for on the first party side since Monolith's current focus on XC3 and a few usual assists like BotW2 may well leave little time for Xenoblade X or PXZ3. But something else to further facilitate my other franchise binges, like FE Judgral remakes or Wind Waker and Twilight Princess would always be welcome, too.
Of course, chances are sizeable segments might be filled with BotW2 and Pokemon Scarvio (then again, the latter just had a presentation to itself, so who knows), but there's guaranteed to be something of interest anyway. Frankly, the summer Direct already set the rest of the year on fire for me, but " this winter" might contain something for January/February release dates as well. Props for streaming the video when I expect to be free for it, too.
“Mostly focused on games launching in WINTER”
BOTW 2 got moved to SRING of 2023 keeping hope low on any news their, maybe a short trailer or title reveal (hopefully no apology that it’s gone to Hoilday of 2023)
In the UK Nintendo have said this:
As a mark of respect during this period of national mourning, we will not livestream tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct. It will be published as a video-on-demand on our YouTube channel at 16:00 (UK time) tomorrow.
Nintendolife in 2038:
'Nintendo Direct confirmed tomorrow - our most trusted sources leaked WW HD and TP HD as well as a Metroid Prime remaster. Will it finally be confirmed?'
Honestly I love WW and TP but you mentioned this the last 17 directs!
Touch Tingle!!!! Switch Exclusive
Tingle has an itch, follow his directions to rub, touch and probe to find and relieve his itch using your switch touch screen in handheld mode, quickly before the hyrule guards catch you both! Coming xmas 2022
Generally no idea what to expect.
Glad to see Nintendo (hopefully) finally addressing the comparative void of major 4th and 1st Quarter first-party releases. Here are my personal hopes for what we'll see along with the odds for each:
1) Zelda: BotW 2 trailer and official name: 90%
2) Zelda Twilight Princess and/or Wind Waker Remaster reveal: 75%
3) Advance Wars: Reboot Camp final release date announcement: 85% (It's way past time, at any rate)
4) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 release date, tracks: 40% (The second wave only released a month or so ago; I would expect Wave 3 to launch around Christmas)
5) Fire Emblem A) All-new installment: 35% B) Remaster of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn: 15%
6) Metroid Prime 4 news: 30%
7) Metroid Prime 1-3 Remaster: 30%
8) New F-Zero: 5%
9) New Star Fox: 10%
10) Front Mission Remaster update: 55%
11) New 2D/HD RPG or SRPG from SquareEnix: 35%
12) 2D/HD FF or Dragon Quest Remaster update: 40%
13) Any major Sega RPG IP (Skies of Arcadia, Shining Force, Phantasy Star, Dragon Force, Valkyria Chronicles, etc.): <3%
14) Any Sega announcement NOT having to do with Sonic: <10%
15) New Donkey Kong: 10%
16) New Pikmin: 8%
17) New Animal Crossing: <5% (I honestly don't see us getting another installment until the Switch's successor. Speaking of which...)
18) Switch Pro: 0%
Yay! Cue 10s of Youtube creators all predicting the same stuff.
Realistic/Safe Nintendo Direct Predictions:
... Wun can only hope.
Can’t wait for some Hamtaro news. Finally!
i just hope we get a bunch of DLC and good games and sequels
@Drew250 I'm just looking at it that Nintendo uses the September Direct to cover September - March so wave 3 seems like a perfect candidate even though wave 2 launched in August.
@Hank_Scorpio A new Wave Race and my life would be made.
We'll probably end up with a load more remasters, JRPGs and Metroidvania - genres that system is saturated in. Hope is pretty much gone at this stage for franchise revivals that long term fans crave.
Above all else Twilight Princess and Windwaker ports please
then hopefully some new content for New Pokemon Snap, some more BOTW 2 news. A Mario Galaxy 2 port would be really great as well.
Okay I'm now at the point where I need to think about scheduling some vacation time toward the end of the year. My gaming schedule is already stacked enough as it is with all these JRPGs. I'm still neck deep into Xenoblade and there's Persona, Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, and Pokémon coming out. Then there's Bayonetta, I'll need to eventually get Splatoon, and probably a couple other things I'm forgetting. Then they spring this Direct on me that's focused on stuff coming out in the near future? This is madness. First world problems, amirite? Lmao
@ThePizzaCheese my last home console was N64 and then the Switch. I missed all those years of gaming. I did have GBA, DS and 3DS though.
And I'm missing Galaxy 2 to complete having played all Mario games too (I also missed New Mario Wii but meh, I played all the others New Mario games so I think I'm not losing much).
Well, Metroid prime 1 remake and ports of Zelda wind waker and Twilight princess, Here I go!
It takes two, PLZZZ!!
@luxoricious I guess that explains it then. Yeah, I'd agree those are the big three you're missing. Although I'd add Metroid Prime and Paper Mario, but I don't want to rub salt in the wound ha. You probably already considered it, but why not get a wii on ebay? A Wii plus TP would probably be cheaper then a Switch port after all.
I'm hope for some ports of "old" Nintendo games — Captain Rainbow HD with official translation and worldwide release, Geist HD Remastered, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem HD... And some ports of Nintendo's non-Nintendo developed (former)exclusive games - Project Zero/Zero ports, The Last Story, Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Last Window: Midnight Promise, Nanashi no Gēmu, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Doshin the Giant, Cubivore, Ōdama, Ghost Trick, Osu! Tatakae! Ōendan 1 & 2, Exit, Dementium 1 & 2, well... That's enough... What's about (my) other wishes? So... Danganronpa Another Episode: Absolute Despair Girls port, Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX IGNITION port with official translation and worldwide release, Corpse Party remaining games' ports, Call of Duty HD Remastered, Aquapazza: Aquaplus Dream Match port, Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel port, Arcana Heart 3 last revision port with all new and upcoming DLCs... Yes - most of my wishes are fighting games' ports.
Please, for the love of God, easy on the anime / RPGs.
I'm hoping for a new release date for Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp. Plus, The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD coming to Switch.
1080 snowboarding PLEASE
Remakes of the Oricle Series I hope!
@wuntyme8 I been hoping for a Ever Crisis on console or PC.
maybe we can get some more tales games ported to the switch also maybe xenogears series to be ported as well
Not streaming in the UK? This is over the top. I loved the queen but I don’t think she would have cared less about Nintendo having a direct nearly a week after her death!
I predict there will be release date for both zelda titles (wind waker & twilight princess) and advance wars.
@Dr_Luigi seemed you tube switch fan commentators were floating that idea..
@wuntyme8 what a inspiration of a list.
As someone who played both rumoured Zelda's on Game Cube and Wii U, I have literally no interest in these games. Hoping for a real 3D Donkey Kong adventure game and a release date for Zelda BOTW 2. Also hoping for some third party great announcements. And secretly dreaming for a new Shining Force or Guardian Heroes...
I would love to hear something about the Evil Dead game, or Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Not sure if either are coming at this point.
I see lots of love for F-Zero. I'm not holding my breath, but you never know.
this is the big one.

@IronMan30 10AM is early. I thought they were always at noon b/c Reggie was lazy and didn't want to do anything before 9AM his time. I guess w/o Reggie they can do things earlier.
I really hope nintendo goes all out with this one. Need a good direct again.
Mario Kart Tour on Switch. I know it's a longshot but I really wanna play it with a controller (and I hope they'd remove the course boundaries so it's not too easy).
Other than that, I hope to see some Metroid news. Oh, and Goldeneye! And Advance Wars.
@Picton123 “Mostly focused on games launching in WINTER”
You capitalized the wrong word to worry about BotW2 not being in it.
“Mostly FOCUSED on games launching in winter”
They can spend 35 minutes on the holiday then still have 5 minutes of spring Zelda at the end w/o losing their focus. I'd be surprised if there isn't at least 1 game for "summer 2023" or even just "2023".
Don't think they'll skip Zelda, even if doesn't release until summer, fall ior holiday. If it isn't in it people will be jumping out of windows.
I'll have to watch it during my political science class, but that'll have to do. Gimme that big botw2 trailer!
looking forward to announcements of
wave wave 64 HD physical release
F zero x HD
wind waker hd and twilight princess HD
Metroid prime trilogy
Xenoblade X
Baten Kaitos HD
Silent hill remaster switch exclusive
metal gear solid: twin snakes remaster switch exclusive
eternal darkness remaster
goldeneye 007 HD switch exclusive
Cup Head physical
Nintendo produced sonic the hedgehog title
announcement that Nintendo has purchased back Rare
All the people saying Jeff Grubb was right can we wait until they actually show the Direct and the Zelda blowout and Metroid Prime Remaster he's been insisting will be shown are actually announced to say he was right? Predicting a Nintendo Direct is going to air in September is an easy bet, it's been a consistent month for the last several years. Anyone can do it. I even bet back in June after the Partner Showcase people kept crying about that we would get a Direct in September. As always I go into a Direct with no expectations so when something great like the E3 2021 Direct or February 2022 Direct happen it feels great.
So Metal gear Remaster gonna be happening ?
Metroid, any Metroid hopefully!! Wind waker, pilot wings, F-Zero, Starfox, Vanquish 2, keep dreaming hey!!
I'll be happy gamer this winter with just Twilight Princess/Wind Waker and the Metroid Prime Remaster (Echoes en 3 not included, I bet).
But if I could speak my mind and partially quote @Hank_Scorpio: Give me Oracle of Seasons/Ages you cowards!
I'm so glad my fears were unfounded!! Not a Mini or a Partner, but rather a full-blown Direct! YESS tomorrow can't soon enough!
@Falien Can you imagine a Hollow Knight Silksong shadow drop?? How fun would that be!
I would love to see more square Enix 2d HD announcements, think something like final fantasy tactics would look amazing in that style
And people here said there wouldn't be directs anymore. Regarding the contents of the direct. It seems remasterings of gamecube Zelda and Metroid are in anticipation. I wonder if we get the remastered versions of TP/WW and MP1 or they show up on a potential Gamecube online subscription since its been a year since N64 online was announced. Now we could get something different like the gb/gba or nothing for the online service tomorrow but I don't know.
I'll check it out, but I haven't really touched either my Switch or Xbox Series S in a few weeks. I'm wondering if I've fallen out of love with video games. I got the Cowabunga collection, played about 5 minutes of Turtles in Time and was like "eh, not really that special" and haven't played anything since.
By the time ill be in lunch all the news will be out 😀 80 % of the directs feel like advertisements
Why is everyone predicting old games being released?
It's going to be mostly just be some BOTW2 news and a bunch of new games you've never heard and probably won't care about. Although there might be some Metroid Prime as well.
@Freddyfred 100% of directs are advertising. What did you think they were?
@WiltonRoots
I've had to do exactly that (one hand over the TV screen while launching YouTube) several times over the years to keep from spoiling anything.
The last few times I've asked my older daughter to key in the search, and the kids have fun tormenting me with almost-spoilers.
Here are my predictions according to leaks and rumours:
So dang happy to see this headline! Can't wait, and hoping for some sort of Zelda teaser/title/something!
A thread full of people setting themselves up for disappointment.
New hardware at least on level with the PS4.
Switch Sports Golf shadow drop!
Literally just yesterday I was like "I wonder when the next Nintendo direct will be"
@ThePizzaCheese haha entertaining the least
@BlueToadenstein Pretty sure that's a daily occurence for the average user here.
Highlights from the show:
I legitimately don't know what I want from this direct. Anything I could ask for that's not already on Switch feels like too slim a chance to actually be worth hoping for.
I might splurge on Skyrim if the Direct shadow drops the anniversary edition! Been holding out on playing Skyrim for all this time, and the anniversary edition will be the perfect time.
Just finished making a long check list and here's stuff that wasn't mention yet but was mentioned last direct predictions
Tomodachi Life
Mario Boxing
GTA
Yokai Watch
Astral Chain 2
Arms 2
Professor Layton
Labo
1-2 switch (2)
Ringfit (2)
I JUST WANT MORE ZELDA TWILIGHT PRINCESS WIND WAKER DUEL PACK
Punch Out with online versus multiplayer.
@Farts_Ahoy
I would unironically not mind. Blastball ruled.
@Rykdrew A new Punch Out game would be great.
I can't wait to see the Nintendo NX
@Deemo37 Funnily enough, I didn't like "Blast Ball" at all, but thoroughly enjoyed the main game
Anyway, fingers crossed for that new Mach Rider game that's never gonna happen.
@dustinprewitt Bayonetta 3? But everyone keeps saying the Queen is dead, who else could that be referring to? Is there someone else ppl would be upset about?
even though I can see the announcement in front of me, its hard to believe we're actually getting one. Just so used to people saying its coming and it never happening. Lol feels good man.
@ThePizzaCheese it wasn’t obvious at all, go see the comments by the people here.
Oh no, my poor wallet. Excited though. Show me some Golden Sun.
@DashKappei They've had a diect every September for years now. It was obvious.
Just because people weren't looking doesn't mean it wasn't obvious.
What I'm expecting:
What I'm personally hoping for:
I used to be so hyped for these.
I guess I'm officially old.
I decided not to use this site in months and THIS is what I'm greeted to?
Nice!
@Mach_Rider
I haven’t had time to play the campaign yet. I want to play it co op but I forgot the campaign wasn’t download play.
@NintendoLife
"This won't make any difference, of course, since the NA livestream will be available at the designated time."
ANY difference? Not quite right. NA sadly covers Japanese staff's voices with dubs, whereas UK lets them speak for themselves and uses subs. A lot better in my opinion, as I quite like hearing & seeing people speak in their own voice & language (be it Japanese or anything else) rather than someone else's
Very nice. Man, the Switch is on such a roll this year, the games just keep coming.
@Uska Ring Fit 2 would be interesting (and overdue).
I'll Definity watch it. here's hoping will see Zelda BOTW 2 and Advance Wars here.
I wish they could devote more time to other games we know next to nothing about, like Breath of the Wild 2, Metroid Prime 4, (Pikmin 4?) and stuff we already know about like Bayonetta 3, Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3, and a bunch other small games that were either announced in trailers or other showcases throughout the year (Pokémon Presents and Indie Partner Showcase for example). I can already just tell that this Direct is going to be a huge letdown, so games that I mentioned plus GameCube and Wii support for the Expansion Pack is going to be taken with a HUGE grain of salt.
@NintendoByNature - I predicted this back in May when NOBODY was talking about an unprecedented Septembré Direct. I’m sure you remember, but I’ll dig around and see if I can humbly quote myself just to prove my superiority. Basically, I nailed it, but that’s just what I do. NBD.
I think they will do the Samus Returns again. Meaning they will tease MP4 (again), and then move on to fully revealing Metroid Prime 1 Remaster, coming this winter.
Ridge Racer Collection, San Francisco Rush, Pitfall, New Quake, Patlabor, Chase HQ collection and I will be happy!!
I'm hoping for:
-A second Ace Attorney trilogy
-Zero Escape ports
-Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls
-Something Fire Emblem
-Anything interesting sounding.
And ingenously, for tomorrow Tuesday. Good to see Nintendo strategizing the closer timing rather than rebooting their plans
I hope we finally get a title for BoTW2.
@wuntyme8 you missed out ports of the Tingle games, but otherwise—perfect list.
Keep Nintendo Weird.
@IronMan30 Yeah, it's been a whole 32 days since we had one this early.
Freedom Planet 2 is releasing tomorrow on pc and next year on consoles. That'll most likely appear in this direct.
Golden Sun, Eternal Darkness, Skies of Arcadia, All the pre switch 3d Zeldas, Metroid Prime, Rogue Galaxy just to wreck peoples heads and Baiten Kaitos
Not much to want, really? My wallet is gonna be taking a right battering.
If you go into it without expectations, these are always a fun time. Can’t wait!
I want a new Donkey Kong Game
Mario Galaxy 3 please...
This is where the fun begins! - Star Wars characters
@bimmy-lee here's why you're wrong. ClapHandPants said SOMETHING is happening in May, and even alluded to a potential tradicional direct this month. So dont go hanging your ballcap up like you predicted this when you simply followed suit after seeing the twitter drop at precisley 3pm bst. The question remains, WILL the masterpiece that IS chiminiROBO be playable following the dìrect?!?
@bimmy-lee you did, I was there.
@WiltonRoots lies. This man gets clout by posting vaporware stories on yóutubė. He's never had a clever thought he came up with on his own. Mark my words. He WILL be the next samushunter.
@WiltonRoots - I knew you’d remember. We were standing in an eight hour line at that Pokémon pop up store in May waiting to buy plushies, and I looked right at you and said, “Mark my words, Direct within three months.” Here we are in September and here it is. 100% correct. Thanks for remembering.
@NintendoByNature - Word on the streets of Hyrule Twitter is that PooPiePants has predicted MANY shadow drops. Probably BOTW2. I did see what you said to Wilton about me. I mean, you’re not wrong, but I totally disagree. Your comment will age like milk. Puddled on the sidewalk. In the sun. In Heatstroke Gulch. In July. On a suuuper hot day. Never mess with my gospel. Put some respect on my name.
I hope to see a bunch of stuff I never knew I wanted before, but also, I'm hoping for SNES/N64/Gameboy Remix, Kid Icarus, a new Digi Drive, Light Trax, Sound Voyager, Gameboy emulator, Mario Maker 3, a 3d Mario Maker, ARMS 2, Mario & Luigi ports or a sequel, Super Mario Bros. 5, they could even start selling Brain Age in the US. And I miss Miiverse, so I hope they bring that back somehow.
Not going to bother watching I can't see them announcing a new mario platformer or mario kart & that's all id really be interested in
@NintendoByNature
You need to deepen your pond a bit
@Would_you_kindly
Don't have enough Mario Platformers? I mean you literally can get Mario Maker 2 and have infinite Mario Platformers
Rouge Legacy 2
Slime Rancher 2
Sims 4 Port
Katana Zero DLC Release Date or Katana Zero 2
I am down for anything but people need to widen their horizons a bit. Everyone is like this will be crap unless we get Mario Odyssey 2 and a new F-Zero. For those who love F-Zero so much please tell me that you have played Fast RMX?
@ThePizzaCheese he said the days, not something vague. He said they were thinking about delaying for the queen and sure enough that conversation was real and Nintendo UK is only having a VOD instead of streaming the Direct. Only trolls and people who don’t have any idea how insider info works can hate on Grubb like he’s a lucky guesser. I worked in the industry 20 years, things change at any given moment, just because a game he said might be in the direct isn’t shown doesn’t mean he’a lying or unreliable. Heck, Square Enix, Microsoft, Bungie, have pulled announcements and trailer at the last second at many past E3. Leaks should just be taken as “it might happen”, if you get angry at leakers who’ve been right many many times then simply don’t pay attention to them, it’s that easy. If you enjoy the discourse then by all means understand that things can change. If you can’t see the difference between someone like Grubb and the latest fake insider trying to ride someone else’s source or lying, it’s your fault.
For my out-of-nowhere picks, I'd love to see Project X Zone 3 and a new Endless Ocean.
@Perryg92 I don't think NoE have a central YouTube channel. They've got separate ones for Germany, France, etc.
@Scootybby There's a "main" YouTube channel?
You Brits better not be watching on the American stream. It’s disrespectful to your queen.
@steventonysmith think so? I actually am into pretty much all genres and franchises. But if you're asking me what I want most it's those. Is it wrong of me to like what I like? This is pure madness I tell ya!
I'm lucky enough to have a day off tomorrow, so I'll be able to watch it live. Definitely looking forward to seeing the rumored Zelda and Metroid (although Star Fox is one I'm hoping for, too).
It does break my heart that our British friends across the pond will be unable to see their own version, but my heart breaks even more for those who are mourning the late Queen.
I may be an American, but as someone who pays attention to global affairs, I know that she was very much loved by her people. In a way, she was everyone's grandmother, and she will be sorely missed.
I can only hope that King Charles III will be able to fill the big shoes she left behind with as much dignity, grace, and compassion as she did for her own father.
Stay strong, friends. Things may seem stormy now, but the storm will eventually pass. It always will.
@Uska @AstraeaV @Stipey
I figure the more of us repeatedly put these things out into the universe, the increased off chance we yet might will them to actual fruition perhaps eventually. Niche titles deserve to live on too! I believe in our collective Wishfuls!
And thanks, I try and do my part with these lists.. because as I often say..
... Wun can only hope.
PREDICTIONS:
A game for you, a game for me, a game for them, and game for you back there, a game for all you over there, a game for her, a game for your dog, and a game for your game. I’m just saying’… games…. Games… GAMES!!!
Grubb vindicated
@Ryu_Niiyama it’s gonna be a bad time for someone out there… it’s midnight for me, which may be a bit late for my body clock
@NintendoByNature Bimmy Lee will? It’s almost like we’re having two separate conversations. 😀
@RainbowGazelle maybe main was the wrong word. I meant the more popular one. It's just under 'Nintendo' instead of Nintendo Uk or anything.
@PeteW I held out hope for Goldeneye, but after the 25th of Aug and no mention that hope died.
I would love a Star Fox game, either a port of Wii version or a new one.
I hope after such a wait the show isn’t too Zelda focused as much as I like and play the games I don’t want the first proper direct in ages to be 35mins of Zelda
@Scootybby Ah, okay. Fair.
I'm calling it: New Style Boutique 4 aka Style Savvy 4.
(With amiibo -support)
I only require three simple games-
Breath of the Wild 2 (with it's proper title please)
Metroid Prime 4
Pikmin 4
@Bret and before that, which btw, was around what would've been an E3 Direct? You know, broadcasts that are normally at noon EDT and the only one of their kind?
Oh, and was that last one live? Remind me, Stephen Hawking.
@Knightrider1 Yeah, me too. For some a direct full of Pokemon, Xenoblade and Zelda would be their best presentation ever.
It would do nothing for me.
@IronMan30 Before that? Pokemon Presents, 7 days before the Splatoon one. Also early. Before that, Direct Mini and Xenoblade Direct in June, both early. If looking up times makes me Stephen Hawking, then bring me the wheelchair I guess.
@Bret those were General Directs? News to me.
@DashKappei Nah, I'm just pointing out he was wrong.
@IronMan30 You didn't mention general directs until now lol how was I supposed to know you weren't counting other ones
@ThePizzaCheese sure he was lol
@chapu2006 dkxcalibur 1......chapu2006 0
@DashKappei He was. Nothing he predicted came true.
@dkxcalibur gg
@chapu2006 To be fair, we're both correct! Let's call it a tie while we wait patiently for the new courses to come out!
Do you think Holiday means late November-ish?
@dkxcalibur To make it interesting I'll say.... early December.
