the Direct most likely won't have Everybody Switch, which means that the most interesting rumor will live on

Thanks folks. Honestly, I never know what reception to expect in a new place, especially when people recognize me from YT. Some people really don't like me or my content, lol. I try not to let that bother me. Just a Nintendo fan like the rest!

Here's hoping for an amazing direct... whenever it is.

Hmm, why do we think this?

Based on how Emily has described it there's 0% chance that thing is revealed in a Direct, lmao. It'll have a wacky reveal trailer shadowdropped on YouTube and Twitter that shows families playing it together. Just like Labo, Ring Fit, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy-

What if they announce Figher's Pass 3 lmao

My hot take is that Ultimate should have been treated as a live service title. Couple new character each year, season passes with new emotes/taunts, skins, music tracks, stages, modes, etc.

They're just going to disappoint people with a future game because it won't have all of Ultimate's characters.

I don't know if Andre knows or has heard anything, or if this is him being cheeky or just legitimately excited about Majora's Mask and I'm reading WAY too much into it (probably that one) BUT I find it very interesting that he posted this specific Majora's Mask "Time remaining" image at almost exactly 48 hours before the Direct will (likely) be:

It's almost certainly a cheeky tease

They probably know. Seems like media knows about the direct. GameXplain made a video they also heard about the 1-2 sequel

If the Direct doesn't happen this week I'll get naked, stand in a stream, and start wailing out the soundtrack to Ocarina of Time

This sounds suspiciously like something a Wario might do.

Pretty obvious, right; we're getting a port of one of the other Operation Rainfall games.

The Last Story HD will be sweet.

What if Star Fox is the stinky horse game because they're introducing a horse character

I've posted this before about Star Fox or F-zero or both (I think it was bridging both), so here it is again:

horse_pilot_concept_art.gif

Nintendo specically wants a stinky hprseperson character to put in Smash Bros. I don't know why. Pretty sure it was Miyamoto's idea.

On that note, a brief look back on the Star Fox discourse. Now, there doesn't seem to be any reason to think Star Fox would come at the expense of F-Zero or Kid Icarus or vice versa, since that general concern has come up a bit.

That said, it seems reasonable to want good new games in those series, and also in Star Fox. To suggest that people shouldn't want a good new game in the series because new entries have been underwhelming doesn't quite track, though it might be worth asking why people remain so attached to the series. This could be any numbers of reasons, such as sentimentality or liking the characters.

The end point, though, is that we can cheer on and hope for good new games in each of these series.

And how these games could be. It would be no surprise to see Star Fox appear as something other than a pure railshooter, and I expect Kid Icarus would take yet another form. This can be forgiven, so long as we are blessed with Sin & Punishment.

Kid Icarus does present its questions. Given the radical shift in identity in its most recent appearance, it could take most any guise. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see it return to a 2D game at some point, perhaps taken on by Mercury Steam as the sister franchise to Metroid -- it makes a surprising amount of sense.

I have no idea where I was meaning to start with this, nor where I was going from there, but I think I might stop here before I ramble on.

So, yeah.

Great games for all!

They wouldn't delay a Direct they already had planned unless there's some sort of disaster.

Yeah, buy just think of the hype such an announcement would provoke.

"Hey everybody, on the 5 year anniversary of our system and it's genre defining launch title, we're gonna hold a direct that will showcase a plethora of new games, previews and announcements, which will conclude with a trailer for the sequel to said genre defining game"

Is there no reason to believe they might delay the Direct till the 5 year anniversary on March 3rd, which is a Thursday BTW?

They are saving March 3rd to announce an actual Activity Log in order to celebrate five years of everyone playing the Nintendo Switch.

True, but Nintendo also has to show off more of Kirby and Triangle Strategy before release. March 3rd is too close to both. And we're not going to see BOTW2 until E3 anyways.
