Directs starting in 2022 were weird for me because I had to get adjusted to not seeing Smash Bros. in a Direct for the first time in four years.It's going to be weird having a Nintendo Direct without TOTK closing it lmao
So, we're finally getting another game as the final thing of direct after TotK took that spot for the last 2 directs.
What will it be and please don't say TotK dlc.
I'm super excited for this. It could be anything!It's going to be weird having a Nintendo Direct without TOTK closing it lmao
Well, they still haven't announced DLC...It's going to be weird having a Nintendo Direct without TOTK closing it lmao

As I tried to allude to in the OP (I'll let you be the judge of whether I succeeded), I think there's a good chance that this is the case due entirely to the Zelda delay. The launch of Metroid Prime Remastered may have been under similar circumstances. However, the sudden release of the Xenoblade DLC interests me, as that could have comfortably occupied a quieter moment.2023 is likely the third year of Switch where the biggest game falls in the first half, after 2017 (which had Zelda and Mario Kart) and 2020 (which had Animal Crossing). In 2017, Nintendo were in Fire All Guns Slight Panic Remove Stench of Failure Mode, and so had Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in the final third of the year. In 2020, Nintendo were in Slight Panic Delay All Games Horrific Pandemic Mode, and so had the not-at-all-rushed 3D All Stars in September with lower profile spin-offs and ports to see out the holiday season.
What does that tell us about 2023? Well, Fami, I'm glad you asked, because I have the inside scoop.

Oh boy, time to start Directposting!
I think you're spot on! Hype will begin in earnest on the 6th and most likely come crashing down on the 8th. Good work!Let's predict the day. Not when the Direct happens, but the day this thread goes into full panic mode.
I predict June 8th, when there's still no announcement.
The title was all @Skittzo! I was going to do "Summer Game Pest" but thought it didn't really work as a title for the whole thread. I'm the Summer Game Pest. Uncharted Territory: Drake's Deception is just absolutely perfect for this moment in time. What's happening? Who knows! Is NVIDIA's Drake coming any time soon? No idea!After all these years, this is how I find out that Raccoon is team Sony?
Are you not expecting a September Direct?Ok my guess: June 21st. General one, 45 minutes. No successor OR pro.
First party games to be revealed: Jet Dragon (pub. by Nintendo), Genealogy of Holy War, Donkey Kong (spiritual successor to DK94), Mario Party Superstars 2. All slated for 2023 fall.
Gamecube remasters are real but will be revealed on Feb 24 Direct. Six of them: Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, F-Zero GX, Starfox Assault, Kirby Air Ride, Paper Mario, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. All will be out within 2024. And all except Paper Mario and DK will have online mutiplayer.
Yeah, I have to assume the software pipeline for Switch and the successor looks robust as far as Nintendo are concerned. Fire Emblem, Kirby, Bayonetta Origins and Zelda, plus Splatoon, Mario Kart and NSO updates, plus the Super Mario Bros Movie, could've held the fort for the first half without difficulty; allowing Nintendo to slide Metroid Prime Remastered, Advance Wars, XBC 3 Future Connected into the second half of the year after Pikmin 4 if things really were thin or in trouble.As I tried to allude to in the OP (I'll let you be the judge of whether I succeeded), I think there's a good chance that this is the case due entirely to the Zelda delay. This could also very well be the case for Metroid Prime Remastered. However, the sudden release of the Xenoblade DLC interests me, as that could have comfortably occupied a quieter moment.
We're either entering a new era for Nintendo or a new era for Nintendo Switch. Either greatly excites me.Hopefully this will bring us to a new era of Nintendo.
Why does this look exactly like an ultrasound picture being untwisted after being twisted by a photoshop-esque program?Oh boy, time to start Directposting!
I do, I just pointed out that I expect GCN remasters elsewhere, not on June direct.Are you not expecting a September Direct?

I think you've been playing too much EarthboundWhy does this look exactly like an ultrasound picture being untwisted after being twisted by a photoshop-esque program?
Tis a very good title I agree; I appreciate your awareness to pick something for everyone and not just scream PikminThe title was all @Skittzo!

this is a sustained release capsule direct threadThis thread should be a lot less crazy than usual due to Zelda coming out. Most people will be playing that for a few weeks and there's no longer people begging for Zelda to be shown. Should be pretty nice.
Unless there's no Direct, then we're all screwed.
Would be very surprised if it didn’t make an appearance. It’s the last big shadow looming over the Switch, and time is running out for them to officially reveal it. Given that Nintendo is likely saving some of their big heavy hitters for the next console, it checks out as a great “one last thing” too.Do you think the next direct (be it june or september) will be the one that we finally see MP4?
That would be crazy soon, no? XC3 wasn’t even a year ago. That feels like a Switch 2 reveal to me.I do wonder if we get a June general direct this year, and if we get to see if Monolith Softs action game is a part of it.
I actually hope not, lmao. Would rather have them take a breather for once and show us what they are cooking up next year, whether that would be on the current Switch or a next generation console.I do wonder if we get a June general direct this year, and if we get to see if Monolith Softs action game is a part of it.
They released the DLC way too quickly. Makes me wonder if they have something else in store, to be announced soon. Maybe something not as big as Xeno games.That would be crazy soon, no? XC3 wasn’t even a year ago. That feels like a Switch 2 reveal to me.
