​

The second of a two-part special, a more traditional Nintendo Direct is set to air today. Unlike the Zelda Direct the contents of this one is still relatively up in the air. What is known is that it'll be a 45 minute showcase putting a spotlight on the Switch 2 games launching later this year. Beyond that though, it's anybody's guess.

As with yesterday, I will be working throughout the presentation, so feel free to discuss it in my stead. When I return home later, I'll pop a summary of the big reveals here, and maybe even splinter off discussion with new threads if there's something particularly notable mixed in there. Let us know what you're hoping to see!

It'd going to be Indies, Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Farm Sims and mobile apps.

I mean it's 45 minutes. I'd expect at least one big reveal mixed in there, though I really struggle to speculate as to what it would be.

Pokemon RSE release date

- More Pokemon Winds and Waves
- Third-party Switch 2 heavy hitters; Not just ports, but new games made for the system.
- An "HD 2D" Chrono Trigger remake from Squeenix.
- Close it out with one final trailer... The screen is pure black, and you just hear SkullKid laugh, and text appears saying that the Majora's Mask remake is in development. Leave it vague af.

Excited for the Duskbloods release date trailer, that's a given. Beyond that I just wanna be surprised. A new Wario World for instance, or Capcom bringing back Viewtiful Joe/debuting Okami 2 gameplay. A unexpected remake or two, like Eternal Darkness or Soul Calibur 2 (guest starring Link again). And of course everybody wants to see a Smash 6 reveal.

i would like luigi mansion 4

Literally ANYTHING that makes the Switch 2 something worth using - because so far, nuddin'.

All those "Switch 2 enhanced" ports? Yeah, don't care; the base Switch games are more than good enough, and not enough tends to be added to justify the new one. The only Switch 2 game I've got is Donkey Kong Bananza, and...one game isn't enough to make me want to use the console I got for Christmas 2025, y'know?
Hopefully Ocarina of Time is excellent; that should be a system-seller (or user, in my case). Maybe whatever the next new Kirby game is, might be a seller too?

The Simpson's Hit n Run: Remastered would be really cool, but I doubt it be announced at a Nintendo direct.

 

[Lostbhoy]
