I should share my own Bingo as well:

Let's see how many of these I'll guess correctly. My last score is... 4.
 
This might be a subpar direct for me. Third party galore and I don’t care for a single rumored third party game , new F-Zero maybe? Meh. Metroid Prime 4 is 2025 so we may not see it. Kirby port meh.

"Nintendo where is the direct? Direct direct direct direct direct direct"

Nintendo announces direct.

"You know what, I take it back"
 
I hadn't even considered the possibility of AI:TSF 3 being here, but Uchikoshi did start teasing it a couple months ago now.

NGL that could be my game of the direct, AI 2 beat Xenoblade 3 and Kirby and the Forgotten Land for goty for me

there is also a thread for people who don't want spoilers. don't know what this thread is for then, or why there's three ongoing threads at the same time.

I thought whenever a Direct is announced the speculation thread closes and the official event thread opens. This is the event thread, so it makes sense, but I dunno why the others aren't closed.

The notion of spoilers for some videogame ads is unconventional to say the least, so if that's something that bothers you, you should probably limit yourself to the no spoiler thread.
Click to expand...

Closing Direct Speculation has always been the norm, but for some reason the last Direct Speculation remained open until after the show.

Regarding spoilers, I'd suggest locking both speculation threads as per usual, and then ask people here to spoiler tag leaks and leak discussions, which have also been a previous approach.

Unless an absurd amount of the Direct has leaked, but I doubt that.

Thank you for the write up. Getting Dreamcast games would be wild.
 
Finally a date after anticipating for so long! A lot of people here ended up being right with it being held on 18th as compared to my prediction of it being held on 20th. I am not expecting anything but I still feel like this one will be really enjoyable as compared to the last one.

I found it funny how they explictly stated there won't be any mention of the Switch successor. Yet watch the chat being filled with trolls saying "Switch 2 where" 😂 The reveal for the next console has to be closer than we expect right? They could've kept quiet about it but they mentioned it again.
 
I'm a simple non-binary person:

If Metroid Prime 4 appears, I'll be happy and make the very first pre-order of my life, I'll use the MP4 Samus pfp everywhere, I'll become the most annoying person possible by only talking about Metroid Prime 4 and making it my whole personality.

StarTropics? In this Economy?
 
Preparing to have my heart broken when they don't announce a new 2d Zelda game with a stupidly gargantuan world map and a funny new gimmick.

(Okay seriously though if they so much as drop a Flame Emitter Amiibo I'd still be happy with it)
 
Re Nate prediction :

Skipping Triple Deluxe to go to Planet Robobot immediately is weird. Those three are a trilogy, I don't think they would skip Triple Deluxe which is better than Dreamland Wii simply because Planet Robobot is the best 2D Kirby game.
Very important lore in Triple Deluxe, can't miss that one.

I love how he throws Metal Slug Attack there because of Epic Store database leak when you can easily search up that the game been offline since Jan 2023. Epic Store has an android app that why it was included in the store.

One of the worst Direct in Switch era, following there predictions. And if Nintendo intends to launch Switch 2 with Just cross gen Metroid and nothing more, I'll gladly skip the Launch. Let's wait and see

Eww @ Dreamcast Adventure games, tho I’ve read those are better than the GCN/PS2 versiona
Click to expand...
Sonic Adventure 1 Dreamcast is better (the Gamecube version was a worse remake that added a lot of bugs and also looked worse), but Adventure 2 is the same version.
 
I’ll listen later but what’s the logic on S-E publishing Fantasian which is a Mistwalker game?

and a new StarTropics game

I’ll have whatever they’re smoking/drinking/injecting 🥴😵‍💫😵

On the other hand that’s an Internet meltdown event right there, and I’m here for the ridiculous reactions if true
 
For Dreamcast NSO, I wish, I've been waiting for it. But it feels too good and ambitious to be true.

I would also hope for Saturn NSO to drop first.

What's fun about this is while Nate's predictions cover almost all of the remaining dream ports for me, it doesn't feel like a spoiler because having all those hit all of a sudden feels way too good to be true. So I actually am finding myself not believing it and will be surprised if it all happens anyway 😅

Gahdamn, we've seen Farm Directs and RPG Directs, but Nate says we're gonna get a Choco Direct. Seriously can't believe it.
