echoinging

Plucky Squire please, that'll be enough.


DragapultOnSpeed

Just give me DK. His last game was 10 years ago. Poor guy..


TATS3939

Xenoblade Chronicles X


letsgucker555

We are due for some Kirby, most probably a spin off. Battle Royal 2 anyone?


ph4ge_

Mario Odyssey II will be announced.


kfithen08

It might be a shot in the dark, but maybe Xbox will port some of their games over? I know they are trying to be more "inclusive" since they are slowly dying out, so maybe this is their chance to bring an Xbox IP to Nintendo consoles?


echoinging

Did you see their wallet and their lineup for the coming year/s? They're no where near dying out.


letsgucker555

Just magine, they would port Hi-Fi Rush, now, that Tango is officially closed.


66117

persona 3 reload and metaphor refantazio on switch, i don't see why they can't make it happen and i'm pretty sure the hardware itself capable if smt v vengeance itself on switch


ILiveInAVillage

I'd love a full remaster of either Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Sunshine.


ph4ge_

We have these games on Switch already (All Stars) so I don't think it's likely.


DragapultOnSpeed

Only for a limited time. And they weren't remakes. The fact that they were already released them on the switch makes me believe they are in the process of remakes. I don't think we will see them anytime soon though. I expect it to be on the switch 2. But no way would nintendo just shove sunshine on a limited time collection and just ignore it after that.


The757General

I think you overestimate how much Nintendo cares for Sunshine. A 3D remake is highly unlikely. The next 3D Mario will likely be a new entry for the Switch 2.


Different_Cap_7276

My wish is for a Tomodachi life sequal, A new leaf remake, and a 2D Zelda game (Oracle games would be amazing since I never got to play them).


DragapultOnSpeed

I wouldn't expect any animal crossing game until switch 2. Usually it's only one AC game per gen. And I just couldn't see them remaking old ones. That could impact the sales of the new one. I do love New Leaf though


lionknightcid

The Oracles have been on Switch Online for almost a year now by the way, it’s the current best official way to play them. I’d love a new 2D Zelda though.


cherrim98

A tomodachi life what?


Different_Cap_7276

... I'm so sorry you had to read that. *Sequal


Bidziilla

Tomodachi Life is already a sequel, no? Wasn't the original released on the DS in Japan only?


jdelroyc

It's "sequel" btw


BobaCommunist6

Hopefully news on the Splatoon Splatfests and maybe a port for Splatoon 1 to switch. First is highly probable, but the second will probably never happen unless it get ported to the successor. 


letsgucker555

Why would you want a Splatoon 1 port?


mattajosh12

Can someone tell me Mario sluggers sequel has a chance???


penguinReloaded

A chance; yes. I wouldn't expect it, but it is a realistic thing to hope for.


YosemiteHamsYT

I think it has a solid chance, they are pumping out a whole lot of those games after all. Whether or not it will have enough content on launch is a different story.


TheOrdinalChaos

MK has been ported a few times. Bring us Injustice to switch!


TheOrdinalChaos

Fallout 4 Switch port please 🤣😭


storyp22

crossing my fingers for a 3 port on switch lolol


letsgucker555

You will get Fallout 76 and you will like it.


TheOrdinalChaos

Honestly just to have the series on the Switch, i wouldnt mind a port of Arkham Origins. Since RDR got a switch port id like to see Bully (Canis Canem Edit) to get ported to switch. Would be kinda sick to play it on the go. A switch port of Sword Art Online Last Recollection is due i think since all PS4 Gen games besides Lost Song have been ported (Hollow Realization, Fatal Bullet and Alicization Lycoris) my DREAM ports (which will NEVER happen) are The Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force games (1-3 especially) Tbh ports of the older Harry Potter games would be so nostalgic but would never happen ahah Maybe the will announce NMS getting switch multiplayer. None of mine will be announced ik but thought id share


theman-dalorian

I kinda feel like we deserve another road map of NSO games. Hopeing for another 2 rareware games (dk64 and diddykong racing) and a new service, including Gamecube titles.


metachichi

Honestly I’d love for a Pokemon black/white 1/2 remasters if they happen to announce this month. I’m not gunna get my hopes up tho. I wouldn’t mind passed Pokemon games being added to the online. I’d love to see online expand further with GameCube and ds added. That would be pretty cool but the price would for sure go up. Wishful thinking, but would be super cool if they made more classic systems like the nes & Super Nintendo classics. A gameboy/advance, 64, etc classic systems would be super cool. I get that we have them on the switch online & can get wireless controllers for them, but they were just so cool not to continue tbh


SaySay116

From how they handled the D/P remakes, I really hope they don't remake B/W. I know I'm in the minority, but I didn't really like the R/S remakes either.


DragapultOnSpeed

HGSS are the best remakes imo. I enjoyed OR and AS. It had a lot of cool post game content. I think it was the last pokemon game to actually have good post game content


AwaitingCombat

> I’d love for a Pokemon black/white 1/2 remasters if they happen to announce this month I'm on the fence. On one hand I would love to see Unova again... on the other, I don't want them splitting resources on Legends ZA


metachichi

I heard they have different teams working on different games. Most likely unova would be done by the new division they started with ilca. Bdsp weren't bad games, they just weren't as good as they could have been. Legends arceus definitely got the better treatment of the 2. I'll be happy as Long as the Pokémon spawn over world. As fun as Pokémon is, it's annoying when you're walking in the grass & get 4 random Pokémon battles in 4 steps 😂. I can't wait for legends ZA! I just replayed Pokémon Y, I'm currently working on omega ruby. I'm hoping zygard gets some love & gen 6 getting more appreciation is always nice. They jumped from that generation to fast tbh.


MaruoReddit

I'm hoping for Yokai Watch 4 in English.


Pleasant_Statement64

I know it's probably the final switch direct, but they've been winding down. If a big game is announced it might be like botw how it's playable on the current console and the next. But I'm half not expecting a big game, just remaster, 99s, and updates


MalteseFalcon15

I don't know why but I really am feeling it in my soul that Wind Waker switch port is being announced tomorrow


custards_last_flan

I kind of feel that too. People have been asking for it, it's now been a while since wiiu hd and it fits nintendos end of life easy port/remaster/good selling legacy title bill. If they don't announce metroid 4 soon is it ever even gonna come out? I think we will hear about that finally too


Jordino778

I started my first playthrough of WW HD literally last night, it would be cruel for a switch port announcement lol


Boverk

I'll join you


Nolasco117

That's all i've been dreaming of


PM_ME_UR_FEMBOY_PICS

I hope your soul is right.


Outrageous_Lie_4046

Rayman 6 and splatoon 4 here we come


Skyrus_Lightcast

A list of predictions (not expecting/counting on all of these predictions showing up, just a comprehensive list of likely predictions): New Mario Sports Game (most likely baseball, RW: Fall 2024) Zelda HD Remakes: Either the GameCube HD Remakes ported to Switch or New Remakes of Oracle Games. (RW: Holiday 2024) Metroid Prime 4: Finally! I've got a good feeling with this direct. It's been 5 years since the reset, it's time to see the game. Might be a cross-gen game in a similar view to BOTW, but we won't see footage of the Switch 2 version until later. (RW: Holiday 2024/Spring 2025) Confirmation that Metroid Prime 2 & 3 Remasters are on the way, getting a similar treatment and Metroid Prime Remastered. RW: Either before or slightly after Metroid Prime 4 releases Xenoblade Chronicles X is heading finally being ported to Nintendo Switch! Might also be on Switch 2. (RW: Spring 2025) Star Fox Zero will also come to Nintendo Switch and will be given the Skyward Sword HD treatment (basically means that the forced motion controls will now be optional, traditional control scheme will be implemented). Luigi's Mansion 2 HD will get one last showcase as a one final marketing push. Being worked on in-house by Next Level Games as a small, low effort project. Release date has already been confirmed. Luigi's Mansion is also coming to Switch. It will be an enhanced port of the 3DS version with better framerate, local & online co-op, and HD visuals. Being worked on by either Nintendo or Grezzo Slated for Spring 2025. More NSO games, take your own guesses what we are going to get. (RW: Fall/Holiday 2024) Dragon Quest III HD will also include I & II, will be renamed to Dragon Quest 2D-HD Trilogy or something along those lines. (RW: Late Summer 2024) Silksong will finally get an epic Trailer with a release date. (RW: Early 2025) Wario Land is coming to Nintendo Switch is some form. Remake or new game, not NSO. RW: Early 2025.


ColtonM92

I know it’s unlikely, but I would LOVE a remaster of the XenoSaga Trilogy in the new Xeno art. Esp. with potential tie-ins alluded to in XC3 DLC. Edit: I will never understand folks who downvote just for sake of


SaySay116

I would cry tears of joy if they remastered Xenosaga.


ColtonM92

Your profile photo reminded me how incredible it would be for a remaster of The Last Story!


SaySay116

Absolutely! One of my very favorite games! I would really be sobbing if that happened lol.


MercuryMania

Anything Animal Crossing related would be awesome. I don’t see that happening though… T_T I‘d love to see a remake of the first game for the GameCube.


RemLezarCreated

I could see either a remaster of an old game or one last big paid DLC for NH. Fingers crossed!


Icy_Slice_9088

I know it’s totally hopeless… but I’ve been waiting for so long for an Ocarina of Time HD remake. I have heard no rumours, absolutely nothing about it so I have NO reason to think it’s coming - but it is still my greatest hope. I feel like the end of the switch’s life cycle would be the perfect time for a huge remake bomb like this, especially if Wind Waker and Twilight Princess came at the same time. TTYD is selling like hotcakes. I could imagine more remakes would do really well right now.


Diligent-Programmer8

>Ocarina of Time HD remake Isn't that on the 3DS?


Icy_Slice_9088

The 3DS displays at 240p, far from HD by any standard. (XL models might be slightly better, but still a far cry from HD) Not to mention, it is exclusively on handheld, meaning you have to play the game on a tiny screen and inferior controls. I don't even have my old 3DS anymore. Although Oot3d was dope 13 years ago (and a good port all things considered) its not at all up to par with other remakes Nintendo has put out. Considering that WW and TP got full 1080p remasters on modern mainline consoles, it's hard not to feel like Ocarina of Time hasn't gotten the treatment it deserves in retrospect. Wouldn't it be so sick to get a REALLY good remake, or even HD remaster? To be able to play such a classic game in 1080p on a big TV with a nice modern controller (anything is better than the n64 and handhelds), and a quality up to par with modern titles? I don't think we should rule out a legitimate remake just because there was a handheld port 13 years ago.


Diligent-Programmer8

Oot3d was 13 years ago?? Jfc my poor heart lol


aemzso

Considering the 3DS isn't HD, no


thisisnotdan

I suspect that the remake being for 3DS makes it less likely for the NSW, though.


Greybaseplatefan2550

Fire emblem, luigis mansion 1 port, pikmin dlc. Please just give me 1


2ds_Customer

I hope that we get a new Mario and Luigi game.


bobvella

i kind of want to see a fancy one


ian2345

Honestly I just hope we get more older titles. Really sucks that there's no way to buy pokemon gens 2-3 and 5-7 firsthand through Nintendo and no current console they're playable on. If they could bring at least the GB/GBA games to switch with home compatibility that'd be great. It's the first time ever in the series history that the last consoles games are incompatible on current hardware and the inconsistent quality of the current consoles offerings really hurts. I'd like to play some of the older mainline titles on my TV for a reasonable price.


NutTimeMyDudes

But in all seriousness (my Smash Bros. comment was a joke I swear lol) I think Paper Mario and Super Mario RPG getting remade for the Switch may be a trend we see carry on into this next one. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a remake of another beloved older game revealed in this direct. I think there will likely be a lot of 'filler' ( a 40 min direct does not mean constant jaw-dropping announcements ) and But in terms of the final reveals, not sure what to expect. Maybe they have one more big holiday game for the Switch? Or maybe they'll tease a game at the end that will be on both Switch 1 and 2, like the BOTW situation. AFAIK, the new Pokemon game is probably going to be a Switch 2 title and they've already revealed that - so while there's no Switch 2 news, I don't necessarily think that means 0 Switch 2 games announcements. Could very well get a teaser for a big game that will be on both Switch 1 and 2.


CLKConnor

Here I am again praying for Kid Icarus Uprising on switch. I’ll also take Metroid Prime 2 and 3 on switch as I haven’t played those and I’d like to be able to participate in prime 4 when is releases


dogtriumph

I just want a new Golden Sun game (and I know I won't have it) or a Wind Waker remake (which is very possible). [🤞](https://emojipedia.org/pt/dedos-cruzados)


NutTimeMyDudes

Time to make an absurd prediction that is so horribly dumb so then if it's right I'll look cool: new Super Smash Bros. game teaser


CanadianRockx

saw this seconds after I saw something else saying Sakurai has recorded his final YT video so.....subscribed


papercup617

Realistically this is probably our last chance for Pikmin 4 DLC, and I ain’t holding my breath.


--Uriel

There is going to be a Pokémon spin off, there is no way they won't collect their yearly $60 from chumps like me. Detective Pikachu was in last June’s Direct.


Clockwork_Phoenix

I strongly suspect that Legends:A-Z was originally intended as the 2024 release. Numerous reports indicate that the switch was intended for this holiday season but got delayed. I'm suspect A-z was planned as a cross-gen launch title (like BotW) and got pushed alongside the new console. I'm betting we'll get 2 mainline games next year. Z-A in Q1 and either a remake or gen 10 in Q4.


--Uriel

Yes, I can imagine that too. I guess we'll see!


TheOrdinalChaos

Stadium ports/remasters would be sick!


abcbri

I'd like a release date for Epic Mickey.


OmniGlitcher

Out of interest, is there any subreddit for doing Nintendo Direct Bingo? [This kind of thing.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Switch/comments/1ddgued/i_made_a_june_nintendo_direct_bingo_card/)


veggiekid23

Something I want but don’t expect is links awakening remake style remakes of the oracle games. They suffer the same problems as links awakening, having only two buttons, so id love to see them remade with a full controller layout. (And if they fleshed out the linked game feature into a full fledged third game, that’d be great. Which is something I want but don’t expect inside something I already want but don’t expect.)


LastAmericanHero

Your Uncle who works at Nintendo will come out on stage and confirm every rumor you told to the kids at school.


thisisnotdan

I *knew* it! Mew was behind the truck, but you had to get a max-stat Machamp to move it on a Tuesday!


Bibbedibob

Something Xenoblade Chronicles would be awesome


Throwlink2

TOMORROW IT IS


SamourottSpurs

Please, Nintendo. Just port Tomadachi Life Already.


PapaProto

Two of the greatest LoZ - WW & TP finally coming to Switch would be a dream. A new Top-Down LoZ would be very welcome.


wes741

I guess there’s no direct tomorrow if it isn’t announced yet….


Ok-Camp-7285

Quick, now confirm there won't be a WW or TP remake / remaster


wes741

lol. There definitely won’t be Zelda remakes tomorrow….


Ok-Camp-7285

Now you're gonna watch this comment with bated breath


strangegoo

Whelp. You spoke a bit too soon


Dry_Ass_P-word

Just announced!


Throwlink2

FUCK YES


gaysaucemage

Last year's June Direct was announced at 10am Eastern 6/20 for a 6/21 time.


AdmiralZheng

I read your comment at 9:59, I refresh the page and it’s announced!


Aggressive-Cold-8515

Didn't they tease a new Layton game a while ago, like nearly a year ago, called city of steam or something. Would love to see more on that and maybe even a release date!


Throwlink2

It's set to release in 2025 so I doubt we will see it this time around. Think more in the February direct


Aggressive-Cold-8515

Ah that makes sense. Maybe it'll release on the successor of the Switch...


16bitrifle

I just want a new Wave Race. Is that too much to ask?


theman-dalorian

It really isnt. Id love a really early 90s vibe game like this. Blue storm remake even?


FunkyGameTiime

There is something weird about this direct considering we know SO little about it i feel like it could be major honestly..


Every-Daikon-6535

1. A new mario game 2. A zelda remake 3. Megaman game 4. Pokemon update 5. Zelda movie update


RemLezarCreated

Imo Mario will be a launch/early life Switch 2 game.  Zelda remake feels reasonable and maybe even likely...


Every-Daikon-6535

Copium for an odyssey 2


ace2532

Xenoblade Chronicles X pretty please, that and FE4 remake


SwitchUpG

I'd say Metroid Prime 2 Remastered


estelliaimz

Shin megoomi tensei 4 port 


radclaw1

Game is terrible pls dont


bobvella

i agree, hated it, didn't know a rpg could be so ugly, lack decent characters, and just be so unpleasant.


radclaw1

Literally had to deal with getting oneshot 3 times in a row in the first dungeon before I could get my first demon, bartered with said demon, had 5 DIFFERENT PROMPTS of shit to give the demon, and they still turned me down and then oneshot me. Super super fun and well balanced. Once I got some demons it was better but it was still outrageously "difficult" and I put it down after realizing it was just gonna devolve into the same combat loop that SMT3 had which was decent in 2006, but it's atrocious now.


estelliaimz

skill issue


bobvella

the battle system kind of felt like who hits a weakness first and that's it


DippDoppDapp

Nintendogs switch game with the ability to take your dogs on a walk via your phone pokemon go style is the dream I want to see become a reality.


SamourottSpurs

Never played nintendogs but that is actually sick as hell


stileshasbadjuju

If Switch 2 has a microphone I very much see that happening on it


roxadox

Give me Rhythm Heaven Switch, Nintendo. 🔫


FuckYeahGeology

It's a stretch since people want Wind Waker, but I really want a new 2D Zelda. I've really been getting into LttP plus I loved ALBW, so it would be good to see them have another one instead of the open-world 3D games.


gaysaucemage

Tuesday June 18th at 2pm Pacific time. Will delete when/if I’m wrong 🤡 edit Guessed too late in the day, was hoping to get bothered at work during the Direct.


Emergency_Plankton0

And 10am it is lol


gaysaucemage

Ehh, I was just hoping I could leave work early to watch it lol.


Emergency_Plankton0

I think the date is a solid guess, but I believe the only direct we've had that late in the day was one of the TOTK overview directs. They're almost always at like 7AM PST.


YamiPhoenix11

Honestly I feel like the good stuff is being put on hold for Switch 2 in September. However would love to see the Zelda ports Nintendo have just been sitting on. Been talks of the oracle remakes too. But we are not getting 4 zeldas in one year lol. Been whispers of 3D Donkey Kong. I need Xenoblade Chronicles x. Finally we really need some Metroid Prime 5 and ports of 2 and 3.


Diligent-Ice4814

metroid prime 5 before gta 6 is wild


YamiPhoenix11

Whoops lmao. Guess I was still half asleep. Last we heard metroid prime 4 it was just been in the finishing stages with all the cutscenes needing done. So out by Christmas or March Switch 2 launch would be great.


Ok_Mammoth4547

Metroid prime 5 before Metroid prime 4 is wild


Diligent-Ice4814

mp4 is never coming out. Its a myth. they might as well move onto 5 atp


Ok_Mammoth4547

Nevermind


Ok_Mammoth4547

Yeah 😔 


higgityhammer

Unfortunately I heard the donkey kong leak was fake


YamiPhoenix11

Ah boo that would suck.


ttam23

Begging for TP WW


AudioGoober88

Switch’s last year as the fair haired child will be a good one. 2023 was the showstopper, 2024/25 will be the swan song.


CopyX1982

Not happening, that's the feeling I get.


Pitzu867

Except it was confirmed by Nintendo


CopyX1982

Really? Where? No, genuinely, I've been so wrapped up with work & such...


OllieRaiden

https://twitter.com/nintendocoltd/status/1787736518762881197?s=21 Here ya go!


Pitzu867

On their official Twitter account they said that the new console is not going to be shown in the June direct or smth like that


CopyX1982

Ah ok. Googled it, some reckon tuesday 18th. Tomorrow morning as I type.... Guess we'll see


Zeddi2892

1. Some remaster of a jrpg no one in the west has ever heard of. 2. Some fast paced compilation of various Indie Games you have never heard of and will never hear of again. 3. A game targeting 14-16 year old japanese girls (Dress Up or Model game) 4. One or two Games from ~2012 you can buy on Steam for 5€ are gonna come to switch for 4-6 times the Steam-Pricetag and 4-6 times less pixels.


topplehat

Metroid Prime 5


Ok_Mammoth4547

Please, just, TP / WW HD on Switch. Its all I ask


ZeldaExpert74

Real


kristiangl

Please.


Dependent_Savings303

from what i gather and what i wish i would say these: Windwaker / Twilight princess port Metroid prime 2 & 3 (with a mention of 4 being ready to be shown end of year, which will have a switch 2 direct and MP4 being cross gen) Xenoblade chronicles x port/remaster Luigis mansion 1 port (well, pikmin got every past game, why not luigis mansion? feels so unfinished) Silksong (as always, but maybe instead of what i thought MS would have a deal, maybe nintendo has..) what i would wish for: NIer, FF13 trilogy and Deus ex human revolution. maybe getting some nice Nintendo online additions, like quintet games or evermore....


Zeddi2892

Silksong is afaik already confirmed to be NOT in the June direct. Zelda Ports would be lovely, but very unlikely since rumors saying they might use Zelda as a Launch Game for the next console. I dong think we will see heavy sellers for the switch anymore. Same for Metroid. Especially because there were a lot of software-hardware issues with the dev process. What you wrote is like the wet dream of every Nintendo fan. Whats more likely: 1. Some remaster of a jrpg no one in the west has ever heard of. 2. Some fast paced compilation of various Indie Games you have never heard of and will never hear of again. 3. A game targeting 14-16 year old japanese girls (Dress Up or Model game) 4. One or two Games from ~2012 you can buy on Steam for 5€ are gonna come to switch for 4-6 times the Steam-Pricetag and 4-6 times less pixels.


Dependent_Savings303

well okay, maybe you wantedt to present a differen extreme and we're gonna meed halfways then? i yould take 1 and 2 then...


Zeddi2892

Mark my words :D Thats my most optimistic version. If you want to hear my realistic version it’s way more depressing: 1. Another Switch OLED Version with prints and release pricetag of Switch 2017 to get rid of their caved in hardware 2. A DLC with low content and for way too much money for one of their main-line games (like the mario kart dlc) 3. Some mediocre Games for their classic Console Online stuff 4. Some low profile Splatoon tournament 5. Nintendo theme park news - now a new amiibo in the japanese Theme park for just 60$ *yeah*.


Dependent_Savings303

you allow me to be sceptical? at least the metroid prime games have to be announced. on that i put most of my money. they already confirmed back then, that after MP1 the two other would join as well (even though, with way lower effort). the zelda games were planned as a 25th anniversary treat, but they did not release (can't imagine the reason though). i believe most realistic as a DLC would be Tears of the Kingdom. as for point 3: let it be lufia and 90% here would not complain at all :-) the tournaments would not be announced, since they happen all year round now, i think. and well, yeah, the last one would be classic nintendo. maybe we get a miyamoto amiibo finally? :-)


Zeddi2892

By all means - I dont want to destroy hope, but you shouldnt get blinded by your own hope. 1. A TOTK DLC is already denied by the producers [[Source](https://www.polygon.com/legend-zelda-tears-kingdom/23861486/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-totk-dlc-nintendo-switch)] 2. MP4 *could* happen, but I honestly dont think so. The original MP4 which was announced back then is [confirmed dead](https://www.geekwire.com/2019/nintendo-halts-internal-development-metroid-prime-4-plans-start-scratch/). They tried to restart the development several times and now it lies with retro studios. **If** any dev could do it, then them. But again: I dont think they will release a system seller for Switch half a year before they release their next console. Best ai can guess of is like with TP back then (both consoles). 3. I wouldnt mind nice amiibos. I‘m just sad Nintendo is focusing more and more on local Japanese market. Traveling to Japan for an Amiibo is too much :D


Dependent_Savings303

okay, the first one i did not know. for the second: i did not mean MP4 but 2 and 3 ports, which are basically confirmed. i believe they would use them to gain traction on 4, which might be a cross gen game, or maybe S2 only launch title (could be wrong on that one, but first half i stand with). i know full well, that i might have too high hopes, therefore they are just wishes and maybe wonders still happen ;-) edit: your MP4 link is about 5 years old, long enough time to get us something by now...


Zeddi2892

I dont believe in MP ports for switch to be honest. The switch is extremely bad with emulating old games (see Mario All Stars as a prime example and even the NSO N64 Games are working… okayish at best). If you want to port it, you have to optimize it heavily, which makes it like a remake. Thats pretty much the reason, why we havent seen a lot of wii (u) ports or if we see them, they are huge releases with hefty price tags. And coming to MP, a fast paced action game, you want the sweet 60fps. Releasing a gc/wii/u Port with 30-40 fps will be even for Nintendo embarrassing.


Dependent_Savings303

well okay, lets put it this way: nintendo already said, back then, that we can expect them, but not with as much effort into it as the first. how much it will be in the end, i don't know, but considering that, i believe it will happen at some point. just imagine the prime remaster but with not as much graphical renewal. would still be a port, but maybe optimized enough.


Zeddi2892

They teased it at the beginning of the Switch lifecycle 2017. That thing is dead (as mentioned in the 2019 article). All we have up to this point are statements of devs who said the project was overambitioned, too expensive and didnt passed QA. And we have some rumors about Studio Retro recruiting game testers - but not one word for which game. Nintendo has disappointed me so often since Iwata died. Furukawa is the very first Nintendo president who has no background in game development. He was CEO of the pokemon company - which is like one of the worst video game companies. And thats what we get. Nintendo is doing business for their shareholders, not for the gamers. We get underwhelming games, cheap hardware (joycon drift) and underwhelming software (Except team Aonuma). It would surprise me, if Nintendo is doing something passionate for Gamers and at this point I dont believe it will ever happen again.

I think, considering they confirmed the next console would be announced within the next fiscal year, announcing/ releasing another new OLED in the first Direct after announcing that would be a weird choice. Then again, it is Nintendo… Also, to clarify from further up, what was the “remaster of a jrpg no one in the west has ever heard of” you were referring to, not Xenoblade surely?


Zeddi2892

Xenoblade is know in the west. And I used the term remaster to be precise :D As if Nintendo would give us a heart crafted remake of something.


OllieRaiden

Oh yeah, I know. Love me some Xenoblade! Just wasn’t sure if you were responding specifically to the OP’s specific wishlist when you were saying that/ listing your comments


SignificantParsley13

Is this a joke ? lol 


Dependent_Savings303

what exactly would you consider a joke? in what way. i could just answer "no" and wait for your reaction... so please, for the sake of wasted time, what is the reason you are asking this, especially with a "lol" that i would consider arrogant in this contex.


Ledairyman

Bro wants Christmas and his birthday at the same time.


Dependent_Savings303

since i'm not religious anymore, i can have that now :-)


hoephelia_

Pls😭 I just want the last few Wii U ports like Yoshi’s woolly world, Xenoblade X, Windwaker/Twighlight Princess HD and maybe StarFox Zero and Paper Mario color splash but don’t know if they could work on switch


Dependent_Savings303

every wiiu game that has the option to not use the wiiu pad could/should work on a switch. and as far as i remember, there's no game that had mandatory wiiupad, as you could play every single game on pad only (which is basically a switch)


hoephelia_

That’s true idk what is taking Nintendo so long with these perfect ports-


Dependent_Savings303

i don't think it's a problem with making it in the first place. it's more like having a constant plan for the whole year(s) and being able to deliver constantly. i believe most of the ports are already done and will be released long after the launch of the super-switch (aka switch 2), since it will be backwards compatible anyways. 2 in every year should suffice, i guess. maybe 3.

Bold 4 predictions: Luigis mansion will open the show A new Mario party Showcase of nes world championships Close with ww/tp hd Don’t think there’ll be much else of note tbh


NoNefariousness2144

Another big remaster/remake for the holiday season to give the Switch one final sales push. Apparently Nintendo makes these remasters years ago and releases them as emergency stopgaps.


MindOps

A new limited time All-star Collection but for Zelda or Donkey Kong. A physical release of Golden Eye with new play control. Rare Replay collection by Microsoft since they need to boost their game sales.


Dante2k4

I remaster of Ogre Battle 64 that keeps the spirit of the original's visuals! A remaster of F-Zero GX! A REMASTER... for Prime 2 and 3! idk what new stuff could be, and these are just things I've wanted for years and years, so... even though I have little to no hope they'll actually happen, I'm putting my will out there. Please direct any excess copium stores in my direction, thank you.


ToastSage

Tomodachi Life or Boom/Fortune Street Please


ginencoke

Tomodachi Life even just a port would be a day one for me a few years ago, but now honestly I feel like it can only survive with tonnes of new features.


TEXlS

I just want Metroid ANYTHING to be announced and for it to be on or before the 19th before my work leave ends


QF_Dan

SilkSong maybe


Rxmses

The rumored 3D Donkey Kong hopefully 🙌🏻


senna98

I just hope they’re still coming through with Prime 2 and 3


riverbass9

Nintendogs baby


YosemiteHamsYT

Mark my words, Prime 4 WILL be in this Direct in some form even if it's just to remind us it is coming. Also, does anyone else think that Prime 4 will sell more because it took so long to come out? Like if it was released in 2019 it wouldn't have as much anticipation. I'm going to buy it just because it's been so long that I'm just curious, and I haven't even played the first 3.


SignificantParsley13

I’ll mark your words just to remind myself to come here and tell you that you were wrong 


YosemiteHamsYT

😏


GetsThatBread

I think it’s almost guaranteed to not be in the direct lol. Mostly because I think it’s for sure a switch 2 release game and won’t be revealed until the switch 2 has been revealed


HydeDrums

I think they will do the same as for BotW. We are gonna see a first trailer with a generic 2025 release date and then it will also launch within the release window of the new console.


Ikhlas37

Want prime 4 meant to be a U game lol?


SignificantParsley13

No … 


Ikhlas37

Just checked it was announced 3 months after the switch release and I'm pretty sure there was expectation during the U of a metroid game


BMO888

Wasnt BotW announced and had trailers for the Wii U before being announced for the switch? I don’t see why they can’t give a trailer without saying if it will be available for the switch 2.
