Nintendo Direct Thread - Updates, Latest Trailers & More Directly to You!

[SerialCeler]

I also agree - why can’t we just have a new thread for each new direct? It makes it much easier for new members to navigate, and easier to find out the announcements.

[HaruKazuhira]

I'm keeping expectations low as usual. Although this being at a later time has me thinking it's not just another throw away vid with updates... No, I mustn't, I won't give in ">,>

[OrangeRKN]

It's better than all the talk just being in the Switch megathread at least!

I'd say people should feel free to go ahead and make individual threads for every direct. That doesn't necessarily invalidate having this general direct megathread too - it's the perfect place for speculation on when the next direct is coming

[Clarkman]

Prediction time

Strong
Mario Tennis Aces release date
Yoshi gets a title and release date
Mario Odyssey DLC revealed
Hollow Knight release date
Travis Strikes Again in game footage and release date

Weak
New Fire Emblem announced with game footage - 2018 release confirmed
Fortnight announced + release date
Diablo 3 announced
GTA V announced
South Park Stick of Truth + Fractured But Whole combo announced

[Robbo-92]

Personally don't see the hype about Fortnite, granted I'm not really into online shooting games but from the small amount of footage I've watched it doesn't looking anything special to me.

Diablo 3 is probably a strong possibility, was teased the other day and EuroGamer later said it was coming to the Switch so announcing it officially tomorrow would make sense. I'd be all for a South Park double pack, they're meant to be great games.

[Yubel]

I'm one of the 10 people wondering when we're going to see that Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus port, it's a curious one for sure.

Prediction time

Strong
Mario Odyssey DLC revealed

If it's just costumes (hinted at through data mining) then I still can't muster the enthusiasm returning to Odyssey unless it's something more substantial - like entirely new kingdoms that cater more toward those who've attained 100%.

Travis Strikes Again in game footage and release date

Hopefully. I'd take any small glimpse into what's new in this one.

Weak
GTA V announced

I'm not even sure that's possible, but it'd be cool to see.

[Robbo-92]

As Wolfenstein is releasing in April (think it's April anyway) we have to see it sooner or later anyway so seeing it in tomorrow direct does make sense.

GTA V is certainly possible (well it should be as it released on the last gen consoles) but I'm starting to think it's too late, even for a juggernaut like GTA V. They may as well just try and get one of their newer titles on the Switch rather than GTA V although portable GTA V would be very neat.

[Miguel007]

Geralt from the Witcher series has been touted on Twitter as going to appear in another game not Witcher based (The ‘safe’ bet apparently is new Soul Calibur), but I’m going to guess he’ll appear in Smash Bros Switch and the magicians at CD Projeckt Red will port Witcher 3 to the Switch.

If that doesn’t happen I’ll take a new 1080, Waverace or Kuru Kuru Kurin please

[Fisher]

hope direct shows pokemon and metroid prime 4.

Golden Sun sequel/reboot pls

[HaruKazuhira]

Every Direct a part of me always yearns for the return of Golden Sun in some shape or form. Just doesn't seem it will be happening anytime soon. Camelot will be focused on Aces for a while yet, presuming that they plan to support the game after the fact with updates and DLC.

[Rik_]

Oh gooseberry fool yeah I forgot Mario Tennis was a Camelot thing
Maybe for their next project? Pretty please?

[RichardUK]

Advance Wars pleeeeaseee!

[Jam-Master Jay]

Advance Wars pleeeeaseee!

This!

The lack of Advance Wars on the 3DS was a major disappointment so I'd hope the Switch doesn't go without too. I suppose there is always Wargroove, but it's just not the same.

[gamerforever]

A few gamecube/ wii/ wii u ports please. Would love mario sunshine, galaxy 1 and 2 and zelda skyward sword.

[Robbo-92]

Skyward Sword stands a good chance of being ported, all the rest of them have at some point in their life and the Switch also has motion controls so it's not like it'd need changing.

[OrangeRKN]

Advance Wars pleeeeaseee!

This!

The lack of Advance Wars on the 3DS was a major disappointment so I'd hope the Switch doesn't go without too. I suppose there is always Wargroove, but it's just not the same.

Given that Nintendo have highlighted Wargroove several times, I don't think we'll see Advance Wars anytime soon.

And if we do it will be ruined by fire emblem relationship mechanics

[Pattybean]

Marcus Sellars is saying on Twitter that CoD blops4 and Crash Bandicoot will be in the direct.

[gamerforever]

Skyward Sword stands a good chance of being ported, all the rest of them have at some point in their life and the Switch also has motion controls so it's not like it'd need changing.

Those motion controls need to be removed.

I would love to replay Skyward Sword just so I have a second chance at trying to appreciate it! I could play it on the old Wii, but it will be a blurry mess.

[OrangeRKN]

Motion controls are pretty integral to Skyward Sword's design though
