Zelda 2 remakeI feel like if that scenario happens Nintendo would be announcing another new Zelda game. Not TP/WW remasters for Switch, but something substantial like the next multiplayer Zelda or a remake of the Oracle games. They either
1) End with botw2
2) Mention BotW2 will be shown later, here's another new Zelda to tide you over
3) Don't mention BotW2 at all
Tempering my expectations for next week's Direct.
Out of all the rumors, the new Fire Emblem has the strongest odds of appearing in this Direct. Because I honestly can't see a scenario where Fire Emblem doesn't release early next year. The game is finished and ready to go. I'll be a little baffled if it doesn't appear in the Direct.
A word of caution. I like Jeff Grubb as both a person and as a reporter. I think he's super cool. But judging by his tweet below, it doesn't seem like he's 100% confident about the Direct being a 'Zelda blowout'. I could be wrong, but that's how I'm interpreting his tweets? So, I think it would be wise for people to manage their expectations going into this Direct. I don't think any insiders actually know the full contents of this Direct.

He did say that. I guess it’s the “Zelda blowout” part. That part he wouldn’t be sure on because that implies the ports + a lot more. The Zelda ports alone aren’t a “Zelda blowout”Ok I'm confused, I thought Grubb said recently that he was very confident that we would see the Zelda ports this upcoming Direct.

Sounds good enough to me, honestly. I would actually be fine with just the former, but hey I'm easily satisfied. I haven't be able to keep up with the thread, but did the majority expect more things beyond the ones you listed?I believe Grubb clarified on stream that by "Zelda blowout" they just mean WW/TP and another look at BotW2.

This is just for the sake of speculation, but do you think Nintendo would schedule both Fire Emblem and BotW2 in Q1?
We were given a spring time frame for BotW2, and people think that could be them aiming to get it out this FY by the end of March.

Why do you put negative thoughts in my head?Nintendo: “no news on breath of the Wild 2 will be shared on the upcoming direct. Stay tune for a later day”
Imagine.
To be fair, he never said with 100% certainty that there would be a Zelda Blowout. He THINKS it would be a Zelda Blowout assuming we get WWHD/TPHD and BOTW2 news. It's sites like VGC that started reporting the whole thing as a "Zelda Blowout" matter of fact.
Where we droppin, Link?3 days left

Mike Minottie and Jeff said it will be there. I’ll take their word as the truth.Directs rarely turn out like the most obvious predictions, I do think it might even be premature to absolutely expect WW/TP HD there.
Did they say they know it'll be there or did they say they expect it there because they know the games are releasing soon or are done or whatever?Mike Minottie and Jeff said it will be there. I’ll take their word as the truth.

I'm hoping we get some Zelda news, but I can't expect it. Zelda rarely shows up in non-E3 Directs, unless it's for a remaster or remake.

Eh technically they could since there's nothing too major releasing that month. Just that Nintendo often doesn't have major releases during that month for whatever reason.I hope the new FE will be shown too! I can’t wait for it.
Do you think there is still a chance for it to release in December? Tbh I don’t think so but I really hope so lmao
Honestly, if we get this, I'll be a happy camper and everything else will be a neat extra thing.Out of all the rumors, the new Fire Emblem has the strongest odds of appearing in this Direct.

Yeah I thought the same.Eh technically they could since there's nothing too major releasing that month. Just that Nintendo often doesn't have major releases during that month for whatever reason.
Eh generally the best for me since after my uni exams, I get a 1month+ break since I don't work at the moment (due to me being awful at time management and my effort in trying to do anything is already shaky enough) which I need lul.Yeah I thought the same.
Tbh for me December won’t be the best month in the end because I’ll have all the uni exams between Dec and Jan… but at the same time I want it lmao
I think that the best month for me would be end of Jan or the beginning of Feb, in that case I’ll be free to play till the beginning of March
BOTW2 was featured in the same Direct a new 2D Metroid was announced and that game still became a) a GOTY candidate for that year and b) the best selling Metroid game of all time.Who said anything about a blowout? When is a full reveal trailer a blowout? It’s like the trailer that says “this is it, it’s coming relatively soon and we need to start talking about it. Here’s your first real trailer and you’ll get something BotW 2 big beginning of 2023”.
I agree. I always tell people to be hyped. Disappointment is fine. It’s just a hobbyI refuse to temper expectations, dream everybody!!
i hope it shows up! though, i'm quite surprised that the warriors game hasn't received any DLCOut of all the rumors, the new Fire Emblem has the strongest odds of appearing in this Direct.

Yes but afaik he said that the info comes from the GiantBomb guy, who is surely right sometimes but he predicted the wrong week for the direct and brought the Queen thing up.That Jeff Grubb tweet is from September 1st, Didn't he like double down a few times about WWHD&TPHD?

True but the thing about the Queen is, it WAS after all a possibility that the Direct got delayed. And I think Dan just heard the week that just passed as the Direct date.Yes but afaik he said that the info comes from the GiantBomb guy, who is surely right sometimes but he predicted the wrong week for the direct and brought the Queen thing up.
I think he was talking about this tweetWhen did Nick make mention of GCN games? Or are you referring to the Twin Snake tease?
Yeah, the February Direct 2021 only really had Famicom Detective Club for me and the hype for that was HUGE. But hey I got one thing I liked + I have dozens of games I wanna play anyway. And other stuff to do as well of course. I'll be fineI agree. I always tell people to be hyped. Disappointment is fine. It’s just a hobby
