I think the release of Splatoon 3 is indication enough that Nintendo has no intention of “killing off” the Switch any time soon.
Quite the opposite.We are 100% sure that a Direct will be announced tomorrow.
Are we 100% sure it will be a general one?
I finished it. Still a very impressive movie trilogy for me.I decided to watch the entire Lord of the Rings extended trilogy this weekend..I will start watching it afternoon. I'm trying the "WAIT FASTER" thing.
Nate seems pretty confident it's being announced Monday and airing on Tuesday.Quite the opposite.
We're 100% sure that it's gonna be a general.
Announcement tomorrow is not a 100% thing, Directs usually get announced on Tuesdays.
They have Fire Emblem to announce, they should show BOTW2 because we barely know anything about it for a Zelda game that releases in 6 to 9 months, and Metroid Prime HD and F-Zero GX HD are general direct material because you just know Nintendo enthusiasts are going to lose their mind about it.I mean, if the biggest announcements Nintendo wise were ports (Zelda’s, Metroid Prime) then it could be a mini. I think the fact we have not had a general for a while means we should get a main Direct though.
Notable distinction but Metroid Prime is not a port. They closed Directs with remake/remasters in the past so it is quite significant for them (Link's Awakening, Xenoblade Chronicles DE).I mean, if the biggest announcements Nintendo wise were ports (Zelda’s, Metroid Prime) then it could be a mini. I think the fact we have not had a general for a while means we should get a main Direct though.
If it does, it's gonna be a first, so I find it a little hard to believe, honestly.Nate seems pretty confident it's being announced Monday and airing on Tuesday.
A Wednesday direct at the usual time would be cutting it possibly too close for TGS, it would be like ~2 hours before TGS starts. So unless they do it at a different time it kinda has to be Tuesday.If it does, it's gonna be a first, so I find it a little hard to believe, honestly.
If that's the "one more thing" and Metroid hasn't been shown it will be the start of my Joker origin story.I think the 'one more thing' is gonna be the first Mario Movie trailer... although I hope I'm wrong.

in a world where BOTW2 needs a name reveal nothing but BOTW2 is going to be a closer.Maybe it's my pessimism taking over, but they've already set the precedent of showing movie stuff in directs, and I don't see the new trailer being anything else than a closer
This is a dream direct for me. Fire Emblem is my favourite franchise & FZero back in the spotlight is amazing.Seems like this should be the biggest direct we’ve had yet for a couple of reason. First, no July or E3 direct plus some completed games means a lot of things will need to be announced. Second, there are still some gaps in the rest of year release schedule and nothing dated for 1H 2023 outside of BOTW2. Third, we’ve heard nothing from several studios who are due for a release (EPD 8 & 10 in particular). Finally, the Mario movie comes next April and I’d be shocked if there wasn’t some Mario release around that time to capitalize on the film.
As such, here are my predictions:
- TP/WW Combo Pack => releasing in early October
- Metroid Prime Remastered => releasing in November
- New Fire Emblem =>releasing in Feb’23
- F-Zero GX Remastered => releasing in Mar’23
- BOTW3 trailer & name reveal (no hard date presented, but expecting June due to the next announcement)
- One more thing…new 2D Mario from EPD 10 => releasing in early Apr’23
I think Advanced Wars will get a separate Twitter drop at some point for Dec or Jan. Everybody’s 1-2 Switch will also be a one-off announcement if it’s even released. I don’t think we see either game EPD 8 is working on, as those will be saved for a potential Drake blowout presentation and launch 2H of 2023.
Think you skipped a gameBOTW3 trailer & name reveal (no hard date presented, but expecting June due to the next announcement)
We are more on the "What If". It's Nintendo we are talking about

Excited for a potential announcement tomorrow either way
Nope. : (Any rumours for Style Savvy... any?
Nate always waits until the official announcement to drop the predictions video, so depending on whether the announcement is 9am or 10am ET tomorrow, I would look for it on YouTube and Spotify very shortly thereafter!When is the new Nate The Hate video supposed to go live?
I don't know the specific details about Square-Nintendo's arrangement. I can only confirm that Nintendo definitely provides financial support (or at least partial funding) for many of Square's games. Your observation about the lack of a PlayStation port is interesting though!
The nice thing about these 2D-HD games is they don't require a super large budget to produce. So, the financial risk is very minimal for both Nintendo and Square. Throwing financial support behind these 2D-HD games is a smart move by Nintendo. It helps build the perception of Switch being a strong RPG system.
Well when you have Nate, Jeff, Mike all saying a Direct is happening next week.. a Direct is happening next weekWe are more on the "What If". It's Nintendo we are talking about
That's a mood. Prime 2 may be my actual favorite but getting any of the Prime games remade is right up there with like, a Dune 2K or Atomic Runner remake or something. Obscure pipe dream.I can't believe I am lucky enough to have my favorite game of all time be remade. Like. I just never imagined this would happen cause they care so little for Metroid.
Maybe I'm too pessimist, we'll see soon enough.I personally don't see any reason to believe this outside of sheer pessimism for the sake of pessimism.
Damn no wonder it's taking so long.BOTW3 trailer & name reveal (no hard date presented, but expecting June due to the next announcement)
Hell yeah, modern day Tokyo Zelda BOTW3. It's time.BOTW3 trailer & name reveal (no hard date presented, but expecting June due to the next announcement)
Imagine if the last September Direct closed with the Voice Cast reveal omgi really hope the mario film isnt the last thing, that would be ridiculous.
A mediocre film by the worst of the large western studios being the closer. Wow, surely would appeal a lot to the audiences of a direct, just not in a good way.
It won’t be. If they closed last year with Bayonetta over the Mario Movie, they aren’t going to close this year with the Mario Movie over Zelda.i really hope the mario film isnt the last thing, that would be ridiculous.
A mediocre film by the worst of the large western studios being the closer. Wow, surely would be very talked by the audiences of a direct, just not positively.
Maybe we should freeze ourselves between Directs and big game releases.Nintendo fans: I CAN’T wait for <Nintendo Game>!
Also Nintendo fans: waits for <Nintendo Game> anyway
