Tune in at 23:00 CET tomorrow, 08/02, for a #NintendoDirect livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information mostly focused on #NintendoSwitch games launching in the first half of 2023.

 

[analog_future]

Woohoo!

 

[Unknown?]

Super Switch here we come!

 

[Kuranghi]

Oooooo does that mean Zeldaaaaaaaaa???

 

[Umbasaborne]

Super mario topless princess volley ball here we cum!

 

[Valedix]

Gonna be 40 mins of farm games again lol.

 

[Kaachan]

BOTW CONTENT HERE WE GO

 

[DenchDeckard]

Let's frigging gooooooooo!

 

[Shifty1897]

OH MY GOD IT'S REAL

 

[Kacho]

Hype train get. Metroid Prime and Punch-Out Wii ports let's goooooo.

 

[feynoob]

Give me a gameplay.

 

[AJUMP23]

IT IS TIME FOR ZELDA!

 

[Gambit2483]

I'm guessing at least 20 minutes will be on TOTK. I wonder what the other 20 minutes will be for

Certainly not for Advance Wars or Kirby.

 

[AtomicStarving]

You know that Zelda delay is coming

 

[Umbasaborne]

You know that Zelda delay is coming

The sooner people brace themselves for this the better

 

[daclynk]

 

[ADiTAR]

I have very very low expectations.

Silksong April, Metroid Prime: Samus Returns shadow drop, Metroid Prime 4 2023, Tears of the Kingdom Direct announcement slide, Arms 2, Kid Icarus: Directors Cut, Advance Wars date, Animal Crossing DLC2 surprise, Mario Kart Wave 4 out now, Hi Fi Rush, F-Zero GX remake + battle royal June, Xenoblade Chronicles X August, Bayonetta Origin, Super Mario Baseball. One last thing, Gyro control for GoldenEye. Edit: Pikmin 4.

 

[Fbh]

Nice.

Hope we get an actual proper full reveal of Zelda. Not some short trailer with a couple of short out of context clips.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I swear I will be pissed if they delay TOTK.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Nice, a general Direct. Yeah, I would expect a lot of good stuff if you love Zelda

I would love for one decent surprise, either a Paper Mario remake of TTYD, F Zero GX, or a port of Woolly World.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Let's fucking gooo!

 

[Secret of Evolution]

Zelda only half interested in unless it goes back to actually having dungeons and storytelling. Give me Metroid Prime 4 goddamn it.

 

[cireza]

Give me a gameplay.

Watch as he lands in an infinite farming field.

 

[AV]

Yeah baby.

Calling it now: show will feature a new 3D Mario game announced to be released either late this year or early 2024. I think we're due.

 

[Methos#1975]

If we cannot ride Dragons, Zelda will be the literally worse game ever.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I swear I will be pissed if they delay TOTK.

if TotK was delayed, we would have already heard. Rest easy, friend.

 

[SiegeDamage]

Zeldaaaaaaaa!

 

[Nautilus]

 

[Jennings]

Oh that's pretty cool. Hopefully they reveal and show off Kid Icarus Uprising for Switch.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Kinda hope we get some form of info on Metroid Prime 4 but not getting my hopes up.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Kinda hope we get some form of info on Metroid Prime 4 but not getting my hopes up.

When we do hear about whatever Prime 4 has turned into, it'll be 3-6 months out from release, and probably announced along a Prime remake.

 

[anthony2690]

BombRush Cyberfunk please

 

[SLB1904]

Why tomorrow. Can we have today

 

[Buggy Loop]

I have zero expectations, except for the inevitable delay of Zelda and no Metroid prime 4 news.

Just 30 mins of advance wars and 10 mins of indie bottom of the barrel trash. No Hollow Knight silksong

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Yeah baby.

Calling it now: show will feature a new 3D Mario game announced to be released either late this year or early 2024. I think we're due.

I feel like that will be held for the next system. Otherwise, what would they have to launch it with? TotK took 6 years to make

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I have very very low expectations.

Silksong April, Metroid Prime: Samus Returns shadow drop, Metroid Prime 4 2023, Tears of the Kingdom Direct announcement slide, Arms 2, Kid Icarus: Directors Cut, Advance Wars date, Animal Crossing DLC2 surprise, Mario Kart Wave 4 out now, Hi Fi Rush, F-Zero GX remake + battle royal June, Xenoblade Chronicles X August, Bayonetta Origin, Super Mario Baseball. One last thing, Gyro control for GoldenEye. Edit: Pikmin 4.

Pretty realistic but I think you forgot Earthbound 4, Earthbound 3 English release for switch, and the AAA Pokémon MMO from Monolith.

 

[Thabass]

if TOtK was delayed, we would have already heard. Rest easy, friend.

No, they usually announce delays during Directs. This would be the optimal time where they announce one.

 

[Punished Miku]

That's a real direct. 40 minutes.

• Advance Wars
• Kirby
• Zelda will have to at least be mentioned. Likely showing a short trailer, and starting CE pre-orders. I wouldn't expect a gameplay deep dive, but who knows. Probably some amiibo also.
• Bayonetta prequel game
• They might do some marketing for Octopath 2.
• Splatoon 3 expansion
• Indies

That's really all anyone can guess. The rest would be Metroid Prime, or brand new announcements. Personally I don't expect a ton of new announcements.

 

[TLZ]

Please don't disappoint.

 

[OuterLimits]

Yeah baby.

Calling it now: show will feature a new 3D Mario game announced to be released either late this year or early 2024. I think we're due.

I think they hold 3D Mario for the launch of the Switch successor.

 

[Gloomnivore]

Nothing gets me more hyped than the prospect of another 40 minutes of disappointment. Bring it on!

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

if TOtK was delayed, we would have already heard. Rest easy, friend.

You're probably right but I won't rest easy until 10:40PM tomorrow

 

[Kabelly]

I'll be home just in time for this

 

[AJUMP23]

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Oh that's pretty cool. Hopefully they reveal and show off Kid Icarus Uprising for Switch.

What is the origin of this rumor? I keep hearing people predict this, but like, why now, and what is the origin? Lol. It seems like a huge undertaking to modify a game that used a stand, and completely redo all of the graphics and assets from a 10 year old 3DS game. And Sakurai would have to oversee it, and isn't he retiring and/or working in secret on the next Smash for the next system? Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind a chance to play this game finally, with dual analog and not on a tiny handheld, but just, it seems so unrealistic to me.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Hopefully something shown from Monolith Soft.

 

[nani17]

I'd love another F-Zero

 

[TLZ]

I feel like that will be held for the next system. Otherwise, what would they have to launch it with?

1-2 Switch 2.

 

[ManaByte]

Maybe the first look at the Hogwarts port?

I don't know of any rumors, I just want to play the game in a way that doesn't cause physical pain due to the 3DS control scheme.
