Pretty sure we'll be seeing Hi-Fi Rush announced here.

 

[justiceiro]

At least will be early in the morning, but I don't expect anything watching live.

[Mister Wolf]

Grezzo - Oracle Of Ages and Seasons Remakes. Seasons releasing soon and Ages in Fall. Admit it, you didn't beat Ages neither, I'm not the only one.

 

[AJUMP23]

Beautiful. Lets see those Indies.

 

[Alexios]

Beautiful. Lets see those Indies.

They have different directs for indies, the last was in November, they aren't partners but peasants in comparison

[Metnut]

Hollow Blade Silksong
Dragon Quest 3 Remake
Pentiment
Hi-Fi Rush
FFTactics Remake

 

[BennyBlanco]

DQ3 remake. Lets go.

 

[gamer82]

Another rabbids game or dlc content for Sparks's or maybe some other Nintendo franchises from a partner like a New dk, Kirby, tmnt would be cool

 

[bumpkin]

Gimme Hi-Fi Rush and Battletoads 2020 from the Microsoft side, and Nier Replicant from Squenix and I'll be happy.

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

fft remake or not watching

 

[ManaByte]

Hollow Blade Silksong
Dragon Quest 3 Remake
Pentiment
Hi-Fi Rush
FFTactics Remake

Endless Ocean remaster.

 

[cormack12]

Guess we won't see the Switch 2 then

 

[ungalo]

Silksong or nothing.

 

[daclynk]

 

[Danjin44]

You know me.....

 

[IDKFA]

Pentiment please. That game would go nicely on my Switch Lite.

 

[Azelover]

It's not on a Tuesday or Thursday, so likely nothing special..

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Xenogears Remake
Final Fantasy 9 Remake

 

[Blindy]

Would be happy with dates for the new Shantae game and also for Penny's Big Breakaway. Also feeling a Pizza Tower switch port being announced.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

That does not mean anything. General Directs have certainly happened on Wednesdays. Rarely ever on a Tuesday, though.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Guess we won't see the Switch 2 then

It was delayed to 2025. A) Nintendo doesn't ever announce hardware in Directs. They're for software announcements. B) it won't be announced til way way later in the year given the delay to 2025.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Grezzo - Oracle Of Ages and Seasons Remakes. Seasons releasing soon and Ages in Fall. Admit it, you didn't beat Ages neither, I'm not the only one.

That's for sure considered a major first-party announcement. Definitely wouldn't be in a Partner Showcase.

"development partners" aka Grezzo

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

"development partners" aka Grezzo

A Zelda remake would not be featured in a Partner showcase. It's co-development

 

[worldwithpyramids]

Partners?

 

[That Damn Kid]

jk, I really hope Xenoblade Chronicles X shows up
Edit: derp

 

[nani17]

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Dang that's a lot of notice for a Partner Showcase. The June 2022 one was actually pretty good. As was the September 2020 one when they announce MH Rise. But honestly I just want to know dates for Paper Mario & Luigi's Mansion. So I'm disappointed we're not getting a General.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

jk, I really hope Xenoblade Chronicles X shows up

*Partner Showcase*

There won't be any announcements from Nintendo-owned first-party

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

My prediction:

SMTV Vengeance
Ecco
Fantasy Life
Rune Factory Dragon
MH Classic (3 & 4)
Hi-Fi
Pentiment

 

[MAtgS]

Baseless speculation and wishful dreaming time!

-Halo Master Chief Collection
-Dissidia Final Fantasy 012 remaster
-KH 358/2 Days remaster
-Soul Caibur 2 with Link/Spawn/Heihachi all included
-Zero Escape trilogy
-toyless Skylanders reboot
-Megaman Legends Collection
-Star Fox reboot by Ace Combat team
-Rare Replay Remix, Rare's portable games added.
-Nintendo announces the Switch Holodeck, with holograms of Samus, Urbosa, and Krystal becoming real and giving you a handy.

Surely one of these has to happen, right?

 

[Saber]

Weird calling it partner, even for Nintendo.

 

[Quasicat]

I'm ready for the Panzer Dragoon II Zwei remake that they said they were working on in 2020. Zwei is so much better than the first one!

Why can't we have Saga?

Not really.

[Quasicat]

I agree. Forever Entertainment said it could come someday, but only announced the first two. I'll take all of them that I can, including the Game Gear version.

 

[ebevan91]

I appreciate these things always being so early in the morning for me so I don't have to wait all day. 8am.

 

[Valedix]

HiFi Rush no doubt.

and 25 mins as well i think this going to be a sleeper hit of a direct.

 

[RoboFu]

With switch 2 on the horizon I don't expect anything major. But I would love to be surprised.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

??? They've done like 6 of these over the last few years.

 

[Kuranghi]

You know me.....

Is that Muramasa? I second your want, I never played it on Wii/Wii U and I love Odin Sphere.

 

[Saber]

??? They've done like 6 of these over the last few years.

I honestly never notice. Is either Directs or Indie showcases. What were the last one about?

 

[Fake]

Cautious about...

 

[bender]

Headlined by MonHon and Nier.

June 2022 instead of a normal one. Had a bunch of great stuff in it. Sparks of Hope, Harvestella, etc.

 

[NomenNescio]

"We're pleased to announce the Switch U, the sucessor of Switch. It will be the first console ever featuring VHS media for games. Also, we're also confirming the complete shut-down of the Wii and Wii U servers, which means you won't be able to redownload your previous purchases from said plataforms anymore. Thank you for your support during all these years".
