Metroid for October - She's orange, pumpkins are orange, it makes sense.
MKW DLC of DKB stuff.
Something with cats
Something with farming
An old port that only 5 people played originally
Tomodachi life
Some sort of recent 3rd party games for much more than their current price on other consoles.
One last thing is Fire Emblem.

 

[Shifty1897]

If they announced patches for all the Xenoblades and a new Fire Emblem I would stop what I was doing and go buy a Switch 2.

Metroid Prime 4 let's goooooo

 

[VGA-Games]

Nintendo Direct Predictions:

1. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption will be released as a Shadow Drop on Nintendo GameCube Classics on 12. September 2025.

2. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or another 1st Party Nintendo Game will be released on 25. September 2025.

 

[HYDE]

Finally they can announce a Zelda 2 Remake by MecurySteam.

Then maybe the game might be decent for once. How about a remake of Super Mario 2, so that it doesn't suck anymore also?

Rayman returns in 3D

Enjoy

Is this a fake leak or a real leak? If you're not a known/credible leaker, ya gotta source otherwise you're just makin shit up.

This is a very unlikely thing to happen. Prime 3 is a Wii game. They just dropped a GCN game two weeks ago. And typically NSO drops are between Directs as gap fillers, not during them.

If any shadow drops happen it's more likely to be Mario-related given the 40th anniversary.

. This ultimate Direct of your dreams that reveals their entire pipeline for multiple years in a row, all announced in one insane showcase. In your dreams, man.

Also Raiders is a spin-off/ single player game. Deliberately not a numbered entry since it's not multiplayer.

 

[paolo11]

my wishlist:

S2 upgrades newsfor all Xenoblade games
S2 upgrade news for Fire Emblem and Astral Chain
New game from Monolith Soft (hopefully remake of Xenogears with collab by Square Enix)
Resident Evil 2-4 Remake ports on game cartridges

 

[Poppinfresh]

My wishlist:

Metroid Prime 4 (October release)
Metroid Prime 2 & 3 remakes shadow dropped after the show (similar to how 1 was shadow dropped)
Switch 2 versions of Xenoblade 1, 2, 3, & X (with all of their DLC)
Fire Emblem announcement of some sort

 

[UltimaKilo]

Please for the love of god, this concept art from them into videogame form

 

[diffusionx]

Why are people so obsessed with Astral Chain? I've seen literally nobody talk about that game for years.

 

[Woopah]

60 minutes? Wow...

The pointless rumor mill has been kinda slow for this. As far as I know, the only rumors are 1) Marvel Rivals shadowdrop (since it is being released on PS4 tomorrow), 2) Mario something or other (40th anniversary this weekend), 3) Three "7" games (FF7, 007, Resident Evil 7, Black Ops 7, who knows)?

Personally, I'm not expecting 3D Mario yet (unfortunately) or Metroid 6 (understandably). I would really like to see some more meaty single player games announced for Switch 2 that aren't on Switch 1; kinda sad that DK is still the only first party one. Fire Emblem 4 Remake would be nice to finally see, but it wouldn't surprise me if its cross gen and thus would not get me to pick up a new system.

If I'm dreaming, a Monolith game that's not a boring anime 100 hour grindfest with an overly complicated turn based battle system would be ideal. These guys know how to build worlds that make me want to explore, but I just don't care about Xenoblade's system. Make an action RPG, please! And make it just a tiny bit more grounded. If BOTW can sell 30 million, surely we can have a sister franchise, right? Maybe sword-lady concept art is a real game, who knows. But I'd love to see it.

And Symphony of the Night. But that's really dreaming. C'mon, Konami...

Other rumours are around DQ7 remaster, the Resident Evil games, and potentially other ports like BG3, Assassin's Creed Mirage/Shadows, MGS Delta and a bunch of Microsoft games. Though not all of these of will be at this Direct.

Usually they announce the timeframe of the game announcements like this winter or something, and veer off for 1-2 games. This time it was just upcoming.

That's actually a really good point. Maybe they will reveal more of their 2026 lineup.

Telling people a game is coming out in 2025 and putting it at the very end of the year is disingenuous.

Smash Bros. Ultimate was announced for 2018 and came out in December. Nothing disingenuous about that.

 

[NanaMiku]

show me what you have been working on

I really love seeing this when I finish their games.

 

[Shifty1897]

Why are people so obsessed with Astral Chain? I've seen literally nobody talk about that game for years.

Because it's awesome but would be more awesome if it wasn't 30 fps.

 

[Danjin44]

Why are people so obsessed with Astral Chain? I've seen literally nobody talk about that game for years.

Because I had fucking blast playing that game, and I want to play it again with even better FPS and hopefully sequel.

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[Danjin44]

Praise the sun.....

 

[Lambogenie]

Making us wait this long to find an excuse to buy a Switch 2. For shame.

 

[daclynk]

60 mins Wow. Show me the Next Gen RayTracing Games Nintendo

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

I'm ready for disappointment.

Golden Sun 2D/HD remake let's gooooo

 

[Variahunter]

Please for the love of god, this concept art from them into videogame form

I've been waiting for ten years

 

[Gambit2483]

I beg they drop some actual bangers this time and stop wasting time. GTA IV or V port would be nice since R* killed GTA Online on Deck no doubt to sell GTA on Switch 2.

RDR2 would be very nice to see.

Also all the Switch 1 games getting 60FPS and or Rez boosted.

Knowing Rockstar and their need to make game announcements on their own terms something tells me won't see it here....but hey, anything's possible. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

That said I could def see CDPR announcing the Witcher 3 Switch 2 "Next Gen Update pack" at the direct

 

[Robb]

 

[Shifty1897]

I wonder what the big shadow drop will be, their last two got me good.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Can't watch this live sadly.. but won't be long after.

 

[Caffeine]

Hopefully this is the one I've been waiting for.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

My wishlist would be a new 3D Mario but I feel like if we don't have a release date for Metroid Prime 4 or a confirmation of a delay then this direct will be a failed opportunity.

 

[Danjin44]

There is also good chance we might see new Fire Emblem game which makes me very excited.

I said this before, Fire Emblem Engage might not have best story or characters but the actual gameplay and map design was fantastic.

Those were intended to be pick & choose type list, no shit that all won't be released in one direct. Just cause they call it Raiders doesn't mean internally it's not Splatoon 4.
Super Mario World is Super Mario Bros. 4.
