King shit lmaooKing shit, thank you!
Might be their best direct ever, showing off all the major upcoming titles to show they are sorry for what they are about to release to the publicDirect that doesn’t show it at all the week of release, with only a tweet on the day of release
Mario Maker 2 represents a spin-off. It doesn’t represent a mainline 2D MarioI think I'd be rather surprised if a Mario platformer is imminent tbh. The series has already been represented between Odyssey and Mario Maker 2, and it holds a lot of value as a cross gen/next gen title. I also think there probably would have been some meaningful leaks about it by now. The sales potential of the IP goes hand in hand with large and wide ranging marketing campaigns, merchandising, etc., so you'd expect something to have slipped out by now.
Watch we get the epic Everybody 1-2 Switch gameplay reveal… and they announce a new N64 game for NSO at the same timeSo another radio-silent week from Nintendo?
Fair enoughYeah but that wasn't my point.
Not sure why you never thought we’d see the day. I had TTYD penciled in to come when origami king released. It’s probably top 3 in requested game from GameCube and Nintendo was going to oblige at some point.
It became clear Nintendo is now bringing GameCube ports to switch and TTYD HD made sense to be part of those games
Maybe Nintendo wants to finish up their TOTK Q&A series first?
No i dont think so.Do we have any idea how many parts there are?
Honestly, this is all I'm expecting from Nintendo at this point in the Switch's life cycle. Just ports, remasters, and DLC. In the last Feb. Direct, there were no brand new 1st party game announcements. Maybe we'll also see MP4 in addition to what you listed.what if the back half of 2023 was literally all just remasters, remakes and DLC for existing games?
F-Zero GX HD
Paper Mario TTYD HD
Fire Emblem Geneology of the Holy War Remake
Maybe Twilight Princess/Wind Waker HD?
Pokémon DLC
Mario Kart DLC
Maybe Zelda DLC?
also a new Pikmin 4 trailera mini is good enough for some third-party, first-party remasters and one major first-party game (2d Mario?)
They are gonna make more and more parts to avoid having to talk about another Direct.Do we have any idea how many parts there are?
Not 2D Mario. I think the biggest first party game announced in a Mini was Mario Tennis Acesa mini is good enough for some third-party, first-party remasters and one major first-party game (2d Mario?)
Who even needs Zippo when I can trust industry insider and famiboards user "frog"?
- it's made by Arzest
- again it's Arzest
- lmao
- forgot Amy but fine
- sure
unless it's just another "NEW" super mario bros gameNot 2D Mario. I think the biggest first party game announced in a Mini was Mario Tennis Aces
They're still not going to announce an easy 10 million seller in a Mini Directunless it's just another "NEW" super mario bros game
They would probably push either Paper Mario or Mario & Sonic to be Nintendo's holiday title.Why is everyone expecting a big first party game for the holidays? In the Switch era Nintendo have mostly relied on a new Pokémon release and their evergreen titles to carry them through the holidays.
Ah I keep forgetting this one, Mario and Sonic is probably happening, but maybe Nintendo will try and push it to Spring (a la Rio 2016) to try and fill the release gaps, no way we’re gonna just get a string of 5 rereleases in a row before they’ve even announced the new hardwareThey would probably push either Paper Mario or Mario & Sonic to be Nintendo's holiday title.
Nintendo Direct leaks have appeared on Twitter
MOD EDIT: NSFW Tweet under spoiler tag

That's not really true; they usually have multiple titles in the final third of the year even if Pokemon is often (but not always) the big deal. At least one of the non-Pokemon titles is usually a big seller. One title is also from the broader Super Mario franchise every October:Why is everyone expecting a big first party game for the holidays?

Nintendo would not acknowledge Biomutant at a Direct as its meta is too low. And that Lego soccer game will be announced on lego's own terms, just like 2K Drive.Yeah a mini makes sense to me
- Persona 3 Remake
- 2 HD remasters from Nintendo
- Pikmin 4 overview
- Biomutant
- Lego 2K Goooooal
- one or 2 other 3rd party ports
- New holiday game from Nintendo (2D Mario or DK)
September would be better as a general to detail what’s coming next year. DLC for the year can be in Twitter drops
It’s also not a follow up to Advance/Rush, it’s just another Classic Sonic game.

They are never gonna reveal new EPD release in a Mini. It's a General.a mini is good enough for some third-party, first-party remasters and one major first-party game (2d Mario?)
Add in some more third party support and this could easily be a full direct. People forget how lackluster Minis typically are.Yeah a mini makes sense to me

I would also add that Animal Crossing was supposed to be also their 2019 Holiday title, same goes with TotK in 2022.That's not really true; they usually have multiple titles in the final third of the year even if Pokemon is often (but not always) the big deal. At least one of the non-Pokemon titles is usually a big seller. One title is also from the broader Super Mario franchise every October:
2017: Super Mario Odyssey (25 million), Fire Emblem Warriors, Xenoblade 2 [Pokemon on 3DS]
2018: Super Mario Party, Smash Bros Ultimate (both sold over 20 million over time)
2019: Zelda: Link's Awakening (5 million plus), Ring Fit Adventure (10 million plus), Luigi's Mansion 3 (10 million plus)
2020: Super Mario 3D All Stars (nearly 10 million in six months), Mario Kart Live, Pikmin 3, Hyrule Warriors
2021: Metroid Dread, Mario Party Superstars (10 million plus)
2022: Splatoon 3 (10 million plus), Bayonetta 3, Mario + Rabbids
Usually there's another big (5 to 10 million or more) title in September or October before Pokemon launches. Plus, this being the one year without a Pokemon title, you'd think Nintendo would plan accordingly.
And no, I don't see 2020, the pandemic year, as proof Nintendo won't bother getting a big title out before Christmas. Even then they made sure 3D All Stars was on the market ahead of the Christmas season, and it sold nearly 10 million in the limited time it was on sale.
One thing I'm only just remembering now: the two years Switch didn't have a Pokemon title (2017 and 2020), Nintendo banked on Super Mario (Odyssey and All Stars; presumably, had the pandemic not happened, they'd have banked 2020's holidays on 3D World + Bowser's Fury).
yeah i know that feel. i can't even keep up with my favorite series, picross lmaoNot gonna lie, at this point my Switch backlog is so big that I won't finish it until Switch 3...
Sure, which reinforces the point: they're not always leaning exclusively on Pokemon, even if they factor in Pokemon doing a certain amount of heavy lifting. They'll also know when Pokemon's not going to be there to do the heavy lifting.I would also add that Animal Crossing was supposed to be also their 2019 Holiday title, same goes with TotK in 2022.
General hype train!They are never gonna reveal new EPD release in a Mini. It's a General.
2017 - Super Mario OdysseyWhy is everyone expecting a big first party game for the holidays? In the Switch era Nintendo have mostly relied on a new Pokémon release and their evergreen titles to carry them through the holidays.
Don't put this out there into the world, I've got way too much going on tomorrowthe fun thing about a potential direct mini is that it could drop tomorrow morning sans warning
For events? Sure, but I do think Discotek could’ve gotten the licensing worked out to get the GP legend dub from Nintendo, they just worked on a foxbox show from the same era(Ultimate Muscle) so a lot of the US side legwork is done, just a question of if they talked Nintendo into digging out the finished dubbed masters.I don't think there's anything about between them and Nintendo.
You calling splatoon an evergreen just made my whole week :3You joke, but that's more likely to happen than you'd believe.
A few demo station for Indie games, a few for their evergreens (Smash, MK, TotK, Splatoon) and a big focus on Horseshit game.
