I think I’m getting to a point where I’m expecting too many Nintendo announcements in the direct haha. I gotta dwindle it down…….

Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

I stand corrected.

That’s good enough for me.
True, but "they" is wrong as the company wasn't involved. I think it would have gone a long way if he was more specific.
The "Monolith worked on Pokemon Legends" claim has become the new "Monolith is third-party".

He’s been right on things before. He’s been doing this for years. And yes he’s gotten stuff wrong. He hasn’t been the greatest leaker of all time, but he is pretty good overall and does know when directs are coming.
I don’t think Covid has helped leakers these past couple years with plans keep changing.
Dark Cloud
Warpstar Knight
Right. That’s why I said he knows when directs are coming. So if there’s anything you want to take away with confidence from him it’s at least that.
He’s the person to say a new Fire Emblem is coming this year. And he seems very very sure of it. We’ll see how that plays out.
I'd sooner assume that it's a person with the same name honestly.
Happens more often than you think.
Again if the official site doesn't list a game they didn't develop it nor assisted in developing it and that should be the end of the story really

It can be hard to remember who said what and who said what first for me. You got VGC, Nate, Emily, etc and it becomes so jumbled up in my head when I try to recall rumors of the past.
We got 2 FE games on the way, this year a brand new FE mainline game by the same team that made Three Houses and in 2023 will have FE Genealogy remake developed by Intelligent Systems.

As always, I’m just hoping to see Silksong. Give me that, and I’ll be happy. Don’t give me that, and I’ll be sad.
Thanks. No new DK, right? That has been rumored for a while. Has it been debunked or just no new news?
I guess the one other thing that comes to mind is PLA DLC for this holiday.

There hasn’t been any new rumors on the DK game. Whatever rumors there are is it as of now.

2 or 3 game reveals is all I expect from Nintendo 1st party in this Direct. 2022 lineup is stacked that they don't need to talk about anything releasing later than summer outside of the typical Direct finale they like to do.
Considering we have 4 unannounced 1st party games that are highly rumored for this year (FE, XB3, Prime HD, casual stinker) that's probably what their announcements will pull from.
Like thinking about 2021's Directs, these were the new games they did then.
February: Mario Golf, Miitopia, Skyward Sword HD, Splatoon 3
June: Metroid Dread, WarioWare, Mario Party, Advance Wars
September: Kirby, Bayonetta 3(first non-logo reveal anyway)

yeah keep in mind the direct will focus of H1 to June, and we already know quite a few upcoming releases from Nintendo.
They may tease a few things outside that period to balance it out a bit , and focus more on 3rd party releasers for the period and or updates to NSO.
That's the one thing i noticed when i browsed the upcoming releases on eshop, it's pretty sparse for major 3rd party stuff, so we could get a big direct just on updating games from 3rd parties.
This week. Believe.

Arkham leak, huh. Third parties slowly porting every old game under the sun to the Switch except the ones I actually want.

DK is in a strange spot. Rumors suggest that it’s in the works since earlier 2018, right after Odyssey. That’s fitting, considering all the DK easter eggs in that game. Going by the dev cycle + Covid, 2022 doesn’t sound far off for the title. You can argue that the rumored solo film is coming next year so maybe they want to postpone it and sit on the game. Same goes for the theme park, but that’s slated for 2024+
So they won’t be able to do everything in one year anyway. If the game is finished, I think it could be released this year. And I hope so.

That's not an old game though! It's not even a fully released game.

I agree. I could definitely see it this holiday. When will they announce it though? To me it’s up in the air between this first direct and E3. If it’s something big and really ambitious I could see it announced now. I am leaning towards E3.

Yeah, going by the rumors they are really taking this seriously, like a „DK Renaissance“ (which sounds so sweet). I think it also depends on other platformer projects. Both the 2D and 3D Mario teams should have a new title finished soon as well.

February and June's Directs were packed on first-party news, but that reflects how empty the 2021 calendar was going into the year:
February: Miitopia, Skyward Sword HD, Teen Super Hero DC I Don't Remember The Exact Title Girls Game, Mario Golf, Splatoon 3 (plus Triangle Strategy and Famicom Detective Club confirmed for international release)
June: Metroid Dread, Advance Wars Reboot Camp, WarioWare, Mario Party Superstars (plus Cruis'n Blast)
We haven't had an E3 for Switch which confirmed that many Nintendo games for release in the same calendar year, but going into E3, Nintendo only had Zelda and Pokemon in the second half. In February, the only games with solid release dates were Bravely Default 2 and New Pokemon Snap, and we didn't have anything with a generic "2021" date.
Right now we're going into February with Kirby and Triangle Strategy dated; Advance Wars down as 'spring' but with a specific April 8th date on some eShops; plus Zelda, Splatoon 3, and Bayonetta 3 as 2022 titles. Really depends whether Nintendo feel like they can blow the lid off of most games they plan to release this year, or if they're content to leave it at games releasing into the summer and waiting for E3 for the rest of 2022. And sure, they could also settle on a middle ground between the two (like 2019's marketing).

Hmm that’s a good question because I didn’t think about the remake making it to Switch.

Happy for the people that want to (re)play them on the Switch but just like with the Ezio collection I haven't really felt the urge to go back to these. I could maybe see myself play Asylum again but I bet they're going to sell it in a bundle.

Remake is next gen only so maybe switch 2.
You know what I wish some developers would do? Look at their games during the 360/PD3 era that missed the Wii and put them on switch

I would love Fallout 3, Red Dead Redemption, all the Mass Effect games, Portal 1 + 2, Tomb Raider on Switch

Direct hype is truly at an all-time high right now ^^ Though from looking at others' predictions, I'm surprised no one has predicted a new Mario & Sonic. The 2022 Winter Olympics did just start after all
