Nintendo Direct Announced For Tomorrow, 9th June 2026

So basically all the rumours are coming true.

Go go go Ocarina of Time!

Ring Fit 2!
PLEASE!!!

Can I get a "DELTARUNE TOMORROW!"

As usual, I'll try to keep my expectations in check. Key word: try. XD

Culdcept Begins is going up today on the Eshop at a 10 percent discount. I think it might be part of a Direct tomorrow.

Got the notification from Nintendo Today! Was happy to see it. Hoping for a release date on Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave!

Also... Nintendo Direct on 6/9? Nice.

insert “It’s Showtime” gif from Beetlejuice here

Finally! Can’t wait! And I’ll get to watch it live for once? Okay guys, time to start speculating wildly!

New tales of series remake, Fire emblem, xenoblade, kyoto xanadu, persona and metaphor,

It would be cool to see cold steel 1 and 2 as well,

Hoping for more info on Fortune's Weave.

I'm guessing a new Ace Attorney, Professor Layton release date, and some kind of Zelda remake.

Would love a new Tales game, but haven't heard much in the way of rumours to suggest it's likely.

If Ocarina Remake is the only thing they show it will still go down as the greatest Direct of all time.

See, we all knew this was coming. Nothing is a surprise anymore.

Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask

A Link to the Past & A Link Between Worlds.

Please Please

Pleeeaaase.

I called it, I really did you guys

everyone had their fun last week now its time for the adults to play lol

@TripleJump I will join you on this train!

Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave trailer and release date PLEASE.

Also pie in the sky Octopath Traveler 3

Expectations are in check. Im only looking for every game in existence to have a Switch 2 port announced tomorrow.

Sarcasm aside, I cant wait to see what Nintendo is cooking up. Lots of games hitting ratings boards these days that id like to see officially announced too.

LETS GOOOOOO!!!

@Coversnail Ahhh, clown make up on for Ace attorney, I pray this is the time!!!

(And I know I'm a weirdo, but I hope we see a new Mario Party, love playing those with friends and family!! 🤎)

Pilotwings, this is finally your turn to shine !!!!!!

Where's that 'Rose from Titanic as an old wrinkly' gif when you need it?!?

OMG THEY DON'T EVEN TELL US HOW LONG IT WILL BE - THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEANS IT WILL HAVE ALL THE GAMES!!!

Hype alert. No... Sleep... Til Direct!

We already know about it 🤣

Huh, nothing about how long it’s going to be. I don’t know where to be optimistic or concerned.

ugh, wrong timing for me but I'm still excited. Just gonna have to find a way to watch this.....

The NS2 games I plan on buying are pretty much set for the entire year, so even if just 1 or 2 games are announced that I'm interested in, it's a total win for me.

I won't be disappointed either way.

It'll all end in tears, I know it.

Twilight Princess HD
Wind Waker HD
The Last Story Remaster

"Nintendo Directs are de-"
"Ack!"

3D Mario here we come

It's probably a direct fill with lots of remakes and remasters with 1 or 2 big titles tease and won't be out til 4-5 years from now.

Why can't I ever have more than a 24 notice so I can take PTO?

Xenoblade please. Just updates. Then, close out Direct.

3 things I'm hoping for

1. Mario Kart World DLC

2. Zelda game announced (new or remake)

3. More GameCube NSO titles, mainly Double Dash, Toadstool Tour or Superstar Baseball

I was pressing refresh on the Nintendo Today app frantically at 3pm CET and gave up when nothing was announced!
Finally! It is here!

Do we know how long the direct will be?

I just wanna see those new Personas. I buy every one on a playstation, yet complete every one on a handheld. psp, vita, switch...

Metaphor would be cool too!

And people were so quick to say Directs are never happening again thanks to the app. HAH!

@abbyhitter Well we (or at least I) still don't know most of the things that are in the Direct. That stuff might get spoiled before tomorrow, but we have the power to choose not to read it! It's only 24 hours.

I am once again asking for a lufia 2 remaster / HD-2D version
I'll take the SNES version on NSO too.

Actually, I was thinking about this Direct this morning, wondering what they would announce, and so here's my guess. Let's see how right I am! Lol.

-Trailer with date of Zelda OoT, November. Let's GO!
-40th anniversary Zelda celebration: Twilight Princess comes to Switch Online along with a Switch 2 version of Skyward Sword (for free). All available after the show.
-Final trailers of Splatoon Raiders and Starfox.
-DLC for Mario Kart World and Pokopia announced (Summer and Fall) and free updates for Tomodachi Life and Mario Tennis (already available).
-Trailers and announcements of big old third party games (Devil May Cry V? Kingdom Hearts? Red Dead 2? Silent Hill 2? Expedition 33?). Or maybe this in a Partner Showcase?
-Trailer of Project M from Bloober, 2027.
-Trailer with date of Fire Emblem. September.
-Pikmin 3 and 4 Switch 2 edition announced, free and paid, respectively (July and August).
-Teaser trailer of Pikmin 5, 2027.
-Trailer with date of The Duskbloods. October (for Halloween).
-More third party trailers (fast reminder: Elden Ring, FFXIV online, 007 with date, Professor Layton with date, Oblivion with date, any indie…).
-New Monolith IP announced, BOOM. Spring 2027.
-Xenoblade Trilogy for Switch 2 announced. Winter, probably December.
-New Super Mario 3D announced, March 2027. End of Direct.

@ArthurFan1998
Probably like most directs, 40-50 mins

@Broch83 I know the feeling. I was expecting the direct to be at 2pm BST tomorrow, so when I saw there was nothing on Nintendo Today, I was immediatelly convinced it wasn't happening.

Guess I was wrong on that

@ArthurFan1998 No, Nintendo didn't say this time how long it will be.

What I would like:

Expedition 33
Metaphor ReFantazio
Persona 6
Mario Kart DLC
New Star Fox
New Kirby
New Mario
Culdcept Begins info
Other 3rd party announcements, including games not yet announced to be coming for Switch 2

Release dates for Duskbloods, Orbitals & Fire Emblem

Please Ninty, no Ocarina remake. That is likely what we will get though.

Damn it, Nintendo! I'll be in a work meeting I can't get out of all afternoon... will really miss getting the live reaction experience.

AAAAAAAH IT'S HAPPENING!!! AAAAAAH!!! ALL ABOARD THE HYPETRAIN!!! CHOOOCHOOOOOOO!!!

@gcunit it’s approximately 50 minutes followed by a 90 minute Treehouse presentation

Keeping expectations in check. Nothing has me going "oh I absolutely MUST have a Switch 2" yet. More than happy to have a game like that show up tomorrow though

90 min Treehouse is enough for a full Star Fox playthrough.

YESSSSS!

God I'm having so much trouble keeping my expectations in check, all the presentations so far have been pretty good so I'm hoping Nintendo's will be super good too! 🤞

This is the Direct F-Zero is revealed. F-Zero 99 existed for this moment.

And for the love of God, bring Dr Mario Online back.

Zelda Remake for sure. I have a feeling GTA 6 will close the event. Am i dreaming lol. The new Tomb Raider Game Possibly because they announced Tomb Raider Legacy already. Expedition 33 would be awesome. Looking forward to the New announcements.

Goodness, they really made us wait for a regular Direct. Looking forward to tomorrow's announcements.

Am I going to set my expectations too high? Yes.

Am I going to be disappointed? Yes.

Am I still going to watch it live? Heck yeah.

Tomodachi content update? (Please?) and N64DD added to NSO? (Pretty Please?)(Highest want)(I'll even throw in me buying a Switch 2 to sweeten the deal!)

Also I have a strange gut feeling we might get an Animal Crossing thing. I highly doubt any more news on Splatoon Raiders if we're lucky. I wonder if we'll get any news on that new Fire Emblem?

Sorry these are just spammy incoherent ramblings, may your best direct wishes come true!!

Well place your bets guys

I’d like to see a port of Metaphor Refantazio, I definitely prefer to play Atlus games (and long RPG’s in general) portable.

I noticed the Game Boy, NES and SNES apps were updated today. I know we're all expecting more than NSO updates, but hopefully this means something.

No expectations whatsoever. Looking forward to being pleasantly surprised.

Alright, love to see more info on the new Fire Emblem game. And I say a new Mario game will be announced.

@RushDawg Oh Treehouse, they have something to show this time?! I'm guessing it will be the leaked game closing the show. A bit of Starfox and something small they showed like a Mario party or something.

Hooray!! Sorry, Nintendo, that your surprise was ruined. But, I'll still be excited!
Is this the first Direct for this year? We had a Partner or an Indie World Showcase, right?
Part of the 90-minute Treehouse Live will definitely be Star Fox. I'm guessing it will also be something as-of-yet new.

Like all directs, keeping expectations low.

@the_beaver Except for the rumor that Nintendo is failing and will only be a third-party, mobile-game company from now on.

My body is Reggie aboard the hype train choo choo it prints money 599 riiiidge racer Switch Triple

Basically I am = screaming Toad.gif

So excited!

The caption of “It’s about time” reminds me the original Chrono Trigger ad…and is also the game/series I hope for at every direct.

I predict they will be showing off splatoon raiders during the treehouse.

@Shmicko Those have all already been released.

Keeping my expectations low but any of these announcements would satisfy me :

Paper Mario 64 remake (ttyd style)
New paper Mario that’s similar to the first two games
New 3D Mario announced
Switch 2 version Xenoblade chronicles 1
New Xenoblade chronicles announced

It’s happening it’s happening!!!

Bayonetta 4 incoming 🧡

Choo-choo! All aboard!! 🚂😆
I love a proper Direct!

We’re bound to learn more about Duskbloods, Fortune’s Weave, and Splatoon Raiders.
But 50 whole minutes plus a Treehouse afterwards? Hopefully we’ll get a look at the rumored Ocarina remake or some other unannounced goodies.

Splatoon Raiders, please look good....

@N00BiSH They already did that with TotK.

My predictions:

Ocarina of Time remake (actually really hoping it happens since the “follow-up” to TOTK likely won’t happen for a few more years)

Follow-up to Super Mario Odyssey (at least something)

Mario Kart World update

Tease for Super Smash Bros. (I feel like Animal Crossing will be held back for a fall announcement)

The biggest announcements from the other shows

Tekken 8 for Switch 2 (gonna keep saying this until it happens)

My outlandish prediction: Pixar Cars collection (Cars, Mater-national, Race-o-Rama, and Cars 2)

Low expectations and hopefully more information on The Duskbloods 🤞

Personally hoping for Switch 2 ports of Stellar Blade and Genshin Impact myself. As it is, there might be some credence to the latter, if recent datamines about login integration with Nintendo accounts are to be believed. And with Stellar Blade: Blood Rain being announced at the Summer Game Fest, and the fact that the developer is moving towards a self-publishing model, they might want to get the original game on all current platforms in advance of the sequel. So those are the two biggest games I am hoping for.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

(Please give me a new 1080 games pls pls pls)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

@Serpenterror This is not MS or Sony showcase dude. XD

@abbyhitter It was surprising that this is only the first traditional direct this year

Hoping Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6 didn't announce Switch 2 on the Xbox show because Nintendo wanted it for their direct

Unrealistic wishlist:

• Final Fantasy VI-2, with Terra as the protagonist.
• Mega Man X9.
• Super Mario Bros. 2-2: Return to Subcon.
• New Smash where they separate the Attack/Smash buttons (no you cannot already do this) and have rollback netcode.
• Expedition 33 characters in Smash.
• Bubsy in Smash.
• Cristiano Ronaldo in Smash.
• Zelda 2 Remake based on the animated series with voice acting I am not joking.

Predictions: MarioKart World DLC 1, The Legend of Zelda Movie teaser trailer 1, Luigi’s mansion 4 (October 2026 release)

@ArcadianLegend99 I'm honestly curious: What games would make you feel like you must have a Switch 2? I feel like the lineup has been pretty solid so far. Not 10/10, but like, 8/10 at least?

@zander_dale All the games should be 1080p

@the_beaver Dam(n). Nice predictions. They actually sound reasonable, too!

I was expecting this on Thursday so Nitnendo caught us off guard here. The past 2 years of Directs haven't excited me that much, so I'm hoping this one will be a good one

Oh look a Direct in June. I am shocked I tell you! Shocked. Hence why I said folks should just wait on the announcement.

Finally! It's time!

New Wave Race with water tech powered by the tears of Zelda fans

@psyraven76 We'll wait for you.

@axelhander I may not 100% agree with this wishlist, but I love it.

@Papery0shi UGHH I would kill for the first paper mario to be remade. Surprised they haven't already!

I can only hope they tweak the battle system and instead not have your whole party go down with you whenever you hit 0 xP

Ocarina Remake, The Duskbloods gameplay, and a new mainline Xenoblade game for Switch 2 are enough for me to be content with tomorrow's direct.

@Ryu_Niiyama I mean, there have been Junes without a general Direct. Just last year is an example.

For Re Metaphor Re Fantazio and Sonic we pray.🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

@shawnryan85 Can you EVEN IMAGINE??! I'm still holding out hope for that. It would be incredible.

Can’t wait to hear how mad and personally insulted you all are when your specific wishlists don’t come true.

Insert Toad hype gif here.

Luigis Manson 4 maybe?

It will end right before I need to leave for work! Sweet! ☺️

@JohnnyC I saw an exciting rumor for this, apparently from datamining. Take a looksie, if you like.

Bring it on. Once again, little to specifically wish for on the first party front outside Project X Zone 3 and more Pokemon Pinball (neither FE Genealogy nor Xenoblade 4 announcements look probable until November/December at earliest), but the multiplat appetites remain gluttonous and traditionally headlined by FFXIII and Dishonored series. More Tales, Star Ocean and Atelier is always welcome, Rune Factory 6 and My Time at Evershine might just resurface with more details by now, MIA stuff like Genshin, TDU Solar Crown and Resistor might always resurface at all, playthroughs to relocate from Deck (from full-fat FFXV, Mass Effect and a finally native KH collection to Starbound, Death Stranding and NFS Payback/Heat/Unbound) are always welcome as well. Just Cause 4 and Sleeping Dogs, Sand Land and both Code Veins, Warriors All-Stars (OG or a followup) and the first Nights of Azure, Fallout 3 and TES Online (unless the latter would weigh 800 Gb here👀)... and hey, I remain shameless enough to want the likes of Gravity Rush, Tearaway and Uncharted: The Drake Collection these days, too.😼 All except the "de-clouded" ones and FFXV preferably on Switch, but NS2 will do as well.

A more deranged call to put it all in perspective? Let's say EA bringing an Undying remake AND updating Gamecube classics with NFS MW05. There, now everything including Gravity Rush should sound perfectly realistic.😻

@spiderman0616 yawn. For me, that's practically every Direct - and those usually supply my wishlist with bagfuls of worthwhile alternatives instead.

@ARM1384 That's true, you're probably right. And Star Fox, methinks. Is Raiders out in July?

Meanwhile me crossing fingers for enternthe gungeon 2 cause it was revealed on switch 2 presentation for this summer. GIMME SOME NEWS.

@LastFootnote Last year was switch 2 launch season and there was still a direct in June. Which waiting for announcements still would have prepared a person for. So I don’t understand why you tagged me.

Don’t break your fingers trying to “well actually” someone.

So, to be clear: Startox 64 / Lylat Wars remake bad, Ocarina of Time remake good?

No wonder we aren’t getting new entries in longer running franchises with this sort of mixed messaging from customers.

Looking forward to it! All I really need is more info on Fire Emblem and a release date. Everything else is a bonus.

I mean, it's gonna be the greatest Direct ever. It's just fact.

About time!!! Finally!!! Love you Nintendo!!! Accomplishment Direct unlocked!!

I stopped being a Zelda fan years ago, when I got stuck on OOT because I could never kill the final boss. In the following years I bought the games but didn't play any of them until I finished OOT... and now they're announcing a remake.

@JumpingJackson Because what we need now is a NEW Starfox! We've had the same Starfox game for decades, while there hasn't been any new entry since Assault... And it wasn't very good (yes, Zero was pretty much another remake). That's the main difference.
We've had a lot of new Zeldas these last years, fantastic ones. So a remake of OoT is very welcome.

It's been 84 years

@TripleJump how dare you get my expectations up like that?

@hashkey same.

I cant wait. Let's hope Nintendo shows some big surprises.

@nhSnork I would like all the previously released pinball games they have done, and a new Pokémon Pinball! Also, I think they should do a "Nintendo Pinball" game. Either combine all the franchises or give them each their own "tables", maybe akin to Nintendo Land, in a way. It also sounds like a good idea for NSO, and they could just release a new addition to it every so often.

Metroid 6, Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Remasters, Metroid Prime 5, Super Metroid Remake, new 3D Mario, new Donkey Kong Country, and that's all I want.

@JumpingJackson

Star Fox is a very short game, I think the reaction would be more positive if they showed new content or a rogue-like type mode where runs change.

Ocarina of Time is the highest critically rated game of all time, responsible for inspiring generations of gamers and spear heading Zelda into one of the biggest franchises in history.

Whoop whoop! Bound to be a good one, can’t wait 😆

@JumpingJackson Now you're getting the hang of it!

This time around I have HIGH expectations, for a change! It feels like a big Direct. The wait was longer than usual, many heavyweights are overdue, Nintendo needs headlines, there’s a ton of cool stuff they could do.

Hope they will announce something big for November. I have little interest in GTA6 and would like something alternative.

Here’s the only thing I definitely don’t see being announced: Switch 2 Themes

I hope tomorrow's Nintendo Direct is very good. The Switch 2 has been selling quite well, but I feel that in terms of game releases the Switch 2's first year has been noticably lacking compared to the 1st year of the original Switch.

As everyone else has been stating, I think DLC for Mario Kart World and the heavily rumored Ocarina of Time Remake are the most likely big announcements, but I hope we learn about a follow up 3D Mario game and many more 3rd party announcements as well.

@the_beaver Every fan's wishlist

@AdmiralBribery I will accept a port of the 3DS version. But I would like new games on my almost £500 machine (when accounting for a pack in and a controller).

I say ‘accept’ like I have any say in the matter 😂

@the_beaver You're not wrong. I think a lot of people feel the "new" Star Fox looks good and fun, but the excitement is slightly watered down from their approach.

My body is Reggie.

I think the Treehouse games will be the 3 we already know that are coming very soon (Star Fox, Rhythm Heaven Groove, Splatoon Raiders). With the exception of console launches and E3, Nintendo tended to use Treehouse for games much closer to launch like how the February one was focused on March games (Pokopia + Wonder Switch 2 Edition).

Hooray! Super happy as I have tomorrow off work already.
Predictions:
Duskbloods,
Whatever this 'Ocarina remake' is (hopefully more of a reimagining that a remaster),
Fortune's Weave will almost certainly be prominent in the Treehouse.
Mario Kart World Dlc (surely)
Luigi's Mansion 4 (cruise ship),
Capcom brings over more Resi ports.
Crossing fingers for Metaphor and Persona 4,
Monolith Softs next game,
Astral Chain 2

Switch 2 versions of Xenoblade 1-3 and Age of Calamity please. Those games really need it. Fire Emblem release date. Other than that, I dont know what I want. Surprise me Nintendo.

@LastFootnote for me personally it's been more a 6.5 out of 10 so far. DK Bananza is just smashing things over and over again, Mario Kart World is a lesser version of MK8D, Star Fox is just a remake of 64, etc. Kirby Air Riders is the only game that came even remotely close to piquing my interest but.... that's only one game. And with it costing close to $500 they're going to need a LOT more than that. Sorry to be sort of a Debbie Downer. I'm glad you're happy with it so far though

@Blue_Dread Don't forget a Metroid HD Collection!

@the_beaver new everything! Out with the old in with the new.

Yes, the mythical 69 Nintendo Direct

@spiderman0616 That's the best bit about Directs...

@pyspud I would absolutely love if Nintendo announced Super Mario Oddyssey 2 or something releasing November 19th.

@axelhander 😅😂😅😂😅 make them… snowierr! Boardier… and give it a nu metal soundtrack please

@Grumblevolcano Ah, good call with Rhythm Heaven! Agreed on the others, as well, but I suspect we'll also see a newly announced game, too, even if just briefly.

I'm going into this with caution as I just have a feeling what they're going to show isn't gonna be for me. And that's fine.

Duskbloods, Fire Emblem and even Ocarina of Time just aren't all that exciting for me but as is the case with these things, it's kind of better to go in with low expectations.

@the_beaver hoping

@ArcadianLegend99 You're entitled to your opinions, and everyone has their own interests. But I feel like "DK is just smashing" is sort of like saying "Mario is just jumping." And MKW has so much new to it compared to 8. I mean, yes, they're both kart-racing games. Those are my unsolicited rebuttals. 😂

Hoping for a new Wave Race or a Blue Storm remake!

Predictions/Realistic Wishlist:
-MKW DLC
-Ocarina of Time Remake
-Zelda Movie Teaser/trailer
-more StarFox
-Duskbloods news + delay
-Metaphor and E33 ports
-random new IP
-Fire Emblem news
-new Monolithsoft game
-Luigi's Mansion 4 in October

Gonna be hard for me to watch, as I am still unpacking from moving (darn landlord moved out of state and sold house out from under my feet), but I still do have one thing I am hoping for....

Dear Mr. Toby Fox, SHOW ME A DATE FOR CHAPTER 5

Only one mention of WaveRace so far in the comments... how disappointing. Let me double that number.

WaveRace 4 baby come on yeh make it happen!!!!!!

EDIT: someone stuck in another WaveRace comment (beating heart emoji)

Guess I'll join in with my wishlist:

• Ocarine of Time remake
• Twilight Princess and Windwaker finally get released from their WiiU prison
• DLC for Age of Imprisonment
• Hi-fi Rush
• Something from Monolith Soft
• F-Zero GX remaster/remake
• Mischief Makers for NSO
• Metroid Prime 5 teaser (with a release date of 2032, just to see the internet burn! XD)
• Stellar Blade
• Kid Icarus: Uprising remaster/remake
• Doom Eternal & Dark Ages

If one of those happens I'll be very happy, otherwise it won't really matter anyway. Got lots of stuff already to play ^_^

Please please PLEASE do not be an Ocarina of Time remake... I've been dying for remakes of the Oracle games for years now...

@Tyranexx This is the first Main Direct after Switch 2's launch...my hype levels cannot be contained. Full steam ahead! 😅

@Shmicko Highly unlikely Majora's Mask will get a remake at the same time as Ocarina.

Switch versions of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD are long overdue though.

All I ask, truly ALL I ask... is Diablo 4 for switch 2. I've been playing the hell (haha get it?) out of it on my switch OLED for a week or two and I'm ready to experience the newest installment

Oooh I love it when it's such short notice. Hope it lives up to the other 3 shows!

As a kid I wanted remakes, now as an adult I just want new things. Please drop some Duskbloods news, fe news, and xenoblade.

This is it. Whatever Monolith soft have been making is going to be revealed. Oh my god (breathe Stig, breathe)

@Shmicko that would be 4 purchases from me right there!

I would love to see Ocarina of Time Remake, Expedition 33, some Metroid game, Dusk Bloods, Resident evil 4 Remake, Mega Man Dual Override info & Onimusha Switch version

Hopefully we will get

A new Mario 3D game
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker 2
Pokemon Snap 3 or Poke Park 3
A new Wario Land or World game
A new Legend of Zelda game
A new Animal Crossing game
A new Super Smash Bros game
Mischief Makers on Nintendo Switch Online
Poke Park 1 and 2 Remastered for Nintendo Switch 1 and 2
Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
New Super Mario Bros (Wii or DS or Both) for Switch 1 and 2 (I think this one has a very good chance in the future since it is the only mainline Mario game that is not available to get on Nintendo Switch and they had both DS and Wii versions on the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Wii U.)
Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land 1 and 2 on Nintendo Switch Online

@WheresWaveRace no man there's now 3 mentions of Wave Race now I mention also wanting a new one! Or even a remake would do...

@JumpingJackson

I do agree with the sentiment. New Games > Remakes. I'd rather pay $70 USD for a New Star Fox that also includes the original Star Fox 64 levels or they're a DLC/Expansion to have best of both worlds.

Zelda... well it's OoT. 3DS version was a very faithful remaster of the original game. I think a remake with some changes would be really interesting to see. If its just the original game again, no thank you.

Waaaaahhhhhhhooooooooo

All imma say is, if they’re wanting to celebrate Zelda’s 40th anniversary… now is the time to announce something

@ArcadianLegend99 I respect your opinion, but saying Bananza is just smashing things over and over again is like saying Mario is just jumping over and over again. It's not totally inaccurate, but it's still pretty misleading. Have you played Bananza at all? Like, have you tried the in-store demo, as an example?

I've worked six days straight. My one day off is tomorrow and then I have another six days.
This was perfect timing

@Bizzyb I fully expect my hype to leak out at some point lol. We have a lot to be excited about!

Hopefully it's to announce Atari 2600 games for the Switch Online

@Tibob As a 3DS amabassador, lot of fond memories with this one from that early drought. And on that note, I'd kill for a new Steel Divers game or even just a port

I'm telling myself it'll be 50 minutes of nothing but JRPG's so that I'm not disappointed.

@the_beaver

Actually we haven't gotten a real Zelda game in over a decade. Sorry but BotW and TotK are not real Zelda games, they are generic open world games with a Zelda skin.

@Bizzyb There was one last September. Not trying to dampen your hype levels, but just saying: this is the second main Direct since the Switch 2's launch.

NINTENDO! GIVE ME OCARINA REMAKE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

@Durians I was gonna say that those are totally real Zelda games, but…even though I love them, I can understand what you mean. There hasn't been a real Final Fantasy game since 2001. (Well, excluding Final Fantasy Dimensions in 2010.)

Ahhh! Perfect!
Cannot wait to sit through 30 minutes of the 50 minutes of old already released games being announced for switch 2 that have already been out for a year plus. More ports & UpGrADeS!!!!! from switch 1 and Remakes of old games. 10 minutes of information of games that should've already been released that have already been announced. 5 minutes of Indies that could be reserved for the INDIE SHOWCASE that they will undoubtedly being showed again on anyway. 1.5 minutes of bs talking. and POSSIBLY 3.5 minutes of new things or surprises, that have a 33% chance of actually being interesting or good.

I''m not over-exaggerating with this. You all know it.

@Kiliomp At least it's not an Indie World showcase, where about 50% of it is "bs talking". Man I'm sick of listening to the devs give their little spiels. Just let the games speak for themselves!

@TripleJump
Absolutely Ring Fit 2 has to happen.

@BigRed40
Sub Wars on Switch 2 as a free NSO game would be great.

Anything that related to monolith like the new ip they been working on and any info on potential new xenoblade game....Also Doom Dark Ages please.

Finally! What’s their new obsession with lowering the time between the announcement and the actual event though? At this rate, next year they’ll just post it on YouTube and send out a tweet the next day.

@Durians "BotW and TotK are not real Zelda games, they are generic open world games with a Zelda skin."

Lol I hope you are joking.

@garfreek I bet they show Splatoon Raiders too

@Durians What about Echoes of Wisdom?

@Aawill91 I believe it's normal for them to announce these things 24 hours beforehand. The Star Fox one (15 minutes beforehand) was an anomaly, as was the Switch 2 showcase in April that they announced in, what, January?

So many good news recently! Minecraft Dungeons 2, Spyro, and a Nintendo Direct!

@LastFootnote Yep, there hasn't been a real Final Fantasy game since 2001 as well. Though with Zelda it is far worse as there are tons of classic style turn based JRPGs out there that scratch the classic Final Fantasy itch, including a game that won game of the year last year. There is very little out there that scratches the classic 3D Zelda itch.

@SuperBro64 Honestly, I think BotW and TotK are more "real" Zelda games than Echoes of Wisdom. I wanted to like that game, but summoning creatures over and over again to defeat enemies was just so tedious, no matter how much I tried to mix it up.

@SuperBro64 Echoes of Wisdom is a good step in the right direction, but it still feels much more like a topdown BotW/TotK rather than classic Zelda.

a hour later then usual for a nintendo direct it usually happens at 9:00am est.

Imagine if Google finally announces the Switch 2 version of the YouTube app at the Direct 😂

That or they shadowdrop it on the eShop right after the Direct lol

@the_beaver Just think about it for a few moments. Games like Okami are clearly labeled Zelda-likes because of their similarities to Zelda. If you took BotW or TotK and removed all the Zelda branding from it (names, places, etc.) nobody would ever compare it to Zelda. It would likely be compared to other open world games instead like Skyrim, Assassin's Creed, The Witcher, etc.

oot will be the big game at the nintendo direct i would be shocked if w saw any footage of a the next major installment in the zelda series.

I'm realizing it's been 8 years since the last Smash game and it's legitimately possible that it could show up here

@Nintendan64 I've been following you for years

FE releasing in August or September. That's all I want and that's all I'm anticipating

IM SO EXCITED!! its been a long time. tuesday direct…interesting….
My predictions are gonna be more Star Fox and Splatoon Raiders information,Fire Emblem and Duskbloods release date, Metroid Prime 2 Remastered, Switch 2 Sports, Luigis Mansion 4 and a Kirby remake (rainbow curse?). Then a tease of something zelda. I dont think theyre ready to unveil 3D Mario just yet!

@Tyranexx I don't know who needs to hear this, but I'm the one who poorly edited the pokeball into his hands. I think I drew it in Microsoft paint. It's my contribution to meme history. Always nice to see it still going around

As usual the internet is going wild with “predictions” so I predict a lot of disappointment at 4pm tomorrow

We won’t get it but I still want the Twilight Princess port I’ve been waiting years for.

blah, blah Price increase, blah, blah, Zelda remake, blah, blah, no new Mario games, blah, blah..... Zelda Movie.....end
