Nintendo should, like, do a full BotW 2 blowout, then still not reveal the title til it's leaked by a retailer by listing the game too early by accident.
"Remember that fire at Nintendo? It was a USB drive that had the BOTW2 title that was so fire, it literally burned itself up. Unfortunately not of us recall the title, so the subtitle will be The Sequel to Breath of the Wild."
 
Give more Mario characters spinoffs. Captain Toad is great and deserves a sequel. Make another go at a Peach game, without the emotion stuff. Give Bowser his own game where you have to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. I'd take any of these over another meh sports game for sure.
All these years of Nintendo and Koei being friends, and I can't get a "grand strategy game" starring Bowser?

Where's my "Bowser's Ambition", already?!
 
Is there any history in Nintendo Directs, where Nintendo begins accepting pre-orders for an advertised game, during or after the Direct? I personally can't recall it.

I'm still thinking about X3 Ending....

Bruh the way Taion drop on his knees, when saying goodbye had me in tears man......
I don't remember any recent JRPG that has put tears in my eyes so much. Some gave me quite the emotional ride but it's been a while since I've been in such a state with a single game.
 
I've thought the same, and no E3 gave them a good reason to hold off. On that note, I really don't think we'll have a General now and them NOT show BOTW2, it's just way too expected at this point.
Yeah and put it this way - if E3 was this year, I’d say we 99% WOULD have seen it already

So of course we’ll see it now

Maybe
 
BotW 2 is expected to be there. And you don’t show up with it with another teaser trailer. It’ll be a full trailer.
Yeah I think this direct is going to be great with the lack of the E3 one. Im expecting a good trailer for sure and that will be enough for me, but there should be a bunch of other cool stuff shown in the direct. May not be the best Direct but really solid.

I think it’ll end up being seen as a very good direcf overall. Of course it’ll also vary person to person on what series they like.

Likewise. It was one of the few times I actually FELT the consequences of my actions within the game. Made me realize how much I enjoyed playing as those characters too. What was the turnaround for announcement between XB2 and Torna? Any chance we see new DLC at this direct?

Edit: clarification

Me too! Kinda find it weird that the game has no hype around it, despite being leaked. I guess I have to hype enough for everyone else.
eh tbf, it's been months since that so called leak came out. There hasn't been any news or reports since then. All we know that there's supposedly at least two future games in production or even completed and set for release. What's being released first or that and their release dates are just simply unknown. Could be late 2022 or sometime early 2023

Can't exactly build hype if there's nothing further and if there's nothing but only rumors.
 
Man I’m pumped for the direct, I won’t be able to watch it until I finish work and stuff! Thrilled none the less, to have it waiting as a little bonus .

All we know is they're ditching the school setting and the protag looks cool as hell. And it's done by Gust. That's enough info for me get crazy excited.
Do we actually know they're ditching the school setting? I don't remember hearing that. If they are, I hope it's replaced with something that serves a similar purpose. Somewhere you have a home base to run around, socialize, train units up, etc. Maybe they'll go Suikoden and give us a castle or a ship this time.

At least for me, it's pretty hard to get hyped for a game that I've known for a long time without really knowing much about it. Same reason why I'm not particularly hyped for BotW2 right now, despite it being a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time.

Once we actually get something of substance, we'll see a lot more hype surrounding it I'd imagine.

Nah, lt's speculation based on leaks. The roster has couple of old geezers and one of them seems to be the lead knight. There was some kind of town that the protag going around, I'm guessing it's the main base.

Same. I need a main base to run around. I really liked the school theme. Just give me something similar with activities. I just want more activities and better quality.
 
I‘m hyped because Directs evolved over the years and this one will of course be one of the „new ones“. Only for the last few Directs they managed to ditch boring parts completely and have more big reveals than ever. The first time I realized that was when stuff like a 3D Kirby or Mario Strikers were announced out of nowhere, while previous Directs usually only had 1-2 big reveals at the beginning and/or end.

I wonder if they'll have a new intro and a new jingle.
The last change was in September of 2019, the February 2019 one was an older one. It's entirely possible they have a new intro this time around.
 
This gif reminds me that this is one of the best music tracks in all of Zelda, despite being on the chirpy GB sound chip:


I would adore it if there's a ruins-y area in BOTW2 and we get a remix version of it

You just unlocked so many fond memories of those games.
This one is my favorite personal

I thought about this today, it would be nice! Maybe we can guess based on the Twitter pic they‘ll be posting for the announcement. But that could also stay the same since it’s so iconic now.

We have a good foundation of possible announcements for this direct. I think it’s important to recognize what your pillars of a direct will be. What are the big announcements that will carry the direct and pace them out well. Then everything else can be placed around them.
 
I need the Direct to help jolt me out of an ongoing funk and to help me make some decisions about what to buy and play these next few months.
 
Nintendo has done a 2 big announcements to end a direct before.

February 2019 with Astral Chain and Links Awakening. February 2022 with Mario Kart 8 dlc and Xenoblade 3. It’s a possibility if they have a lot of announcements we see them end on 2 big things.

If they end on Zelda, it‘ll be the ports and BOTW2 and that would definitely work. If they do the Zelda bit before, there‘s room for two different announcements.
Honestly, I could see them doing the Zelda section right at the beginning, after the first reveal. „Before we get to the first headlines, we have a special guest“

I think if it's a big BOTW2 blowout, it'll be the ending. I'm leaning on FE being the opener, kind of like Three Hopes was last time. Metroid Prime can be in the middle, similar to where Dread was in E3 2021.

BOTW2 and Metroid Prime will be enough for me. I can see those two being the big ones, probably WWHD/TPHD in there too. Also for the rest of the news the last few directs have been pretty good with smaller but still generally great announcements. Not too much filler lately

I'm kinda leaning towards BOTW2 definitely being there, just because Jeff keeps repeating we're "probably getting the name of the next Zelda" like he's sure. I could be misinterpreting that but I don't know. Seems so sure of it in my eyes.
