I am submitting not to be realistic but for what I hope for. I'm going all in on hopes and dreams, and I'm going hard on Gamecube. Straight up ignoring some obvious things in favor of what I'm hoping to see.
So that if I win, it's a big win for me.

(I'm terrible at predicting actual new game announcements so I'm going to lean heavily on rereleases and already announced games. I'm always on the lookout for new IP and unexpected sequels but those are hard to think of.)

1. Metroid Prime 1 for Switch
2. Metroid Prime 4 Tease
3. Zelda BotW Sequel shown
4. THE TWIN SNAKES on Switch
5. MGS Trilogy on Switch
6. Wind Waker for Switch
7. Twilight Princess for Switch
8. Metroid Dread DLC
9. F-Zero GX on Switch
10. Bayonetta 3 shown

Tiebreaker: 19 games

All of the fun stats!

Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 1 tied with 59 predictions each
82 predictions/choices were for Metroid overall.
15 people had Metroid Prime 1 as their #1 pick. TBF I probably would have done the same.
53 predictions/choices were for Wind Waker and/or Twilight Princess appearing.
10 people had Wind Waker/Twilight Princess as their #1 pick.
25 different games/predictions were #1 choices.
The 3rd party game with the most predictions was It Takes Two (40 votes)
7 people successfully predicted Pikmin 4
3 people predicted that Octopath Travler 2 would get announced, but only @sid specifically called it OT2 in their post.
To the 2 awesome people who predicted Star Fox, you are my new best friends!
To the 1 person who wants a new NBA Jam game, we need to hang out sometime!

Thanks for putting this together! Was fun to participate in.

Deleted member 1896 · Sep 14, 2022

Thank you @Josh5890 for putting this together! It was a fun time and there were plenty of surprises and curveballs in the Direct!

Respect to anyone who predicted Octopath 2, Pikmin 4, Pokemon Stadium, No Metroid.

In the end it's not whether you win or lose that matters, but the fact we got Pikmin 4.
Metroid Prime fans, Zelda HD hopefuls, GB/GBC/GBA NSO optimists: your sacrifice is appreciated.

shoptroll · Sep 14, 2022

Thank you @Josh5890 for organizing this!

ProteusRidley · Sep 14, 2022

At least I can say I was one of the 7 to guess Pikmin 4.

Thanks for doing this, maybe I'll be more correct next time.

Just to give you an idea, those three topics alone wiped out 30% of the possible points. It got ugly.

jnWake · Sep 14, 2022

This was fun, next time I may take it more seriously instead of putting wild hopes on the first spots! Still, I got a ton of points from Pikmin 4 haha.

In hindsight it should have been obvious we would get a Fist of The North Star fitness game.
