​

Nintendo has announced a new general Nintendo Direct, the first one since September, to air tomorrow at 2pm P.T. / 5pm E.T. It will be roughly 40 minutes long and "mainly" focused on Switch games releasing in the first half of 2022. While no specific games were mentioned, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is scheduled for release on March 25, so that will likely be featured. Some other possible titles that have been announced for 2022 include Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Bayonetta 3, Splatoon 3, and the sequel to Breath of the Wild (which was mentioned by a Nintendo financial report just a few days ago to still be targeted for 2022). Notably, Nintendo did a similar Direct around this time last year that was also "mainly" focused on games releasing in 2021 that may give us an idea of what to expect here. It had a healthy split of first and third-party games for the Switch, and ended with the announcement of Splatoon 3 for this year, meaning we may get another big surprise reveal at the end of this Direct.

You can watch the stream tomorrow at 2pm P.T. / 5pm E.T. here.

I want to hear about one of the "dead" IPs that got no love from Nintendo for quite some time...

- A new F-Zero, the last entry (F-Zero GX) was released in 2003 for the Gamecube...
- A new Wave Race, the last entry (Blue Storm) was released in 2001 as a launch title for the Gamecube...
- A new Kid Icarus or a enhanced port of Uprising (which released in 2012 for the 3DS)

One of those 3 and the Direct would be a instant 10/10 for me

I refuse to believe that retro studios just didn't work on any game between 2014 and metroid prime 4. I still hope the old rumored starfox racing game is coming. or atleast a donkey kong game.

They announce a direct right after getting into another controversy

The perfect distraction

Idk what they'd call it, but a crossover kart racer has been rumored for a while now, akin to Smash bros.
