Persona 5 Royal port announced. Release in April. 
 

senran Kagura Bon appetit also. 

Nice.

[mdn2]

There's bound to be Age of Calamity DLC. Hoping we see the rumoured Ninja Gaiden Sigma Trilogy as well. And maybe a new 2D Metroid.

Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! Pokémon Pinball! 

Please.

PLEASE let this finally be the time for a shadow drop of Metroid Prime Trilogy. Or just announce a near date for it (as a shadow drop so close to the release of Super Mario 3D World would be very un-Nintendo). Rumours are that it's been ready for a year, give it to us!

Yeah I'm more hyped for it than anything else right now and feel like I've been edging for bloody months waiting for it!

[parkinho]

Ooh, I'm hoping that we get an update (release date?) for NMH3 tomorrow. I imagine that there will be some Zelda info for the 35th anniversary, maybe a collection of some sorts, and fingers crossed for a BotW 2 trailer to end proceedings. 

[bear]

You'll get a port of Battletoads 2020 and be happy about it. 

[Stanley]

Hang on am I missing something here, is Persona coming out or not?

[the_debaser]

Metroid Prime 4 is still in development. We hope to bring you more news soon. 

[Eighthours]

Hoping for:

 

Metroid Prime Trilogy release date

Breath of the Wild 2 footage

Hollow Knight Silksong release date

A big surprise in the form of a new entry in a much-loved 'dead' franchise that looks amazing

Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess collection

Skyward Sword remaster

New Mario Kart or Splatoon

Glimpse of Super Mario Odyssey 2

An expensive-looking fresh IP from one of Nintendo's teams

 

Will probably get:

 

30 mins on new Smash characters

Nintendo Labo Music, featuring 6 instruments that you make out of cardboard (the flute looks good)

Panic Button bringing Anthem to the Switch

ONE MORE THING!!!!!!!! A Zelda logo, OMG. Wait, it's a remaster of the Zelda CD-i games for £59.99

 

 

[Stanley]

The actual 35th Zelda Anniversary is 21st Feb, very close 

 

Metroid is Aug 6th so not the first half of 2021 

[Marlew]

I expect we'll get a shadow drop of Capcom Arcade Stadium because it's due out this month and not on any of the Coming Soon press releases or on the eShop. 

[scottcr]

This is going to be The Greatest since the Year of Luigi

no

We’re coming up on a year of Animal Crossing. I’m hoping for some more things to do on a daily basis and more things to collect. I basically want the mobile game but on the Switch and minus the F2P mechanics.

[probotector]

I dunno why people still get excited with these Directs.

 

Nintendo Japan clearly don’t know how the modern world works.

 

It’s like your dad demonstrating Mario World. Fucking embarrassing.

[the_debaser]

If only they had developed the best selling console with the best games catalogue or something.

Everyone just loves watching them tread water. 

[probotector]

Making money isn’t the same as progress.

 

Look where Sony and Microsoft were in 2013 and look where they are now in terms of their output.

 

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe might be selling 30 million plus but as a sequel it’s barely a step up from Mario Kart 8 on the wiiu.

 

Likewise, it’s tentpole game, BotW is another WiiU port.

 

More than any other company, Nintendo has coasted through this generation selling lazy ports at full value when Microsoft and Sony have been doing the same and charging less for their remakes because they have AAA games as their main cash cow.

 

Unless you have shares in Nintendo, you should be demanding more from them.
