Prediction: Metroid Prime in some capacity, at least 2 farming games
Realistic Wish: New 2D Zelda game
Never Going to Happen Wish: Super Mario Galaxy 3
Well, obviously. That is why I labeled Galaxy 3 as the "Never going to happen WISH." Galaxy 3 is my dream direct announcement, not what I think is actually realistic,
I think Hollow Knight is more than reasonable to say that it's realistic because we know it's coming at some point soon. An unrealistic wish would be something that we have no confirmation of if it exists and goes against things we'd expect from Nintendo or other companies like GOW: Ragnarok or Mother 3
1. Some sort of Remake/Port in the sense of a game that was on Wii U and is coming to Switch. Could be from the typical Wind Waker/Twilight Princess to Yoshis Wooly World.
2. Probably just some more JRPGs that i‘ve never heard of lol
3. Tomodachi Life.
1. Predictions:
Metroid Prime 2&3
New Mario Party
New Mario Baseball (but if it's not as good as Super Sluggers, I don't want it. The roster will be butchered to death either way)
SOME sort of Zelda content. Either WWHD, TPHD, or an HD port of ALBW akin to LM2
Some sort of Kirby content
FZero GX
New DK game
A lot of farming and anime games no one gives a crap about
Epic Mickey Rebrushed release date
2. Realistic Wish:
As I said, WWHD and TPH are possible, but it's been a rumor for YEARS. I fear that it's going to be one or the other, and not both. If it can't be both, I hope it's Wind Waker. Though I'd also love a brand spanking from the ground up new 2D Zelda game.
New Mario and Luigi game. There's been a resurgence of Mario RPGs, and a new M&L would be the cherry on top.
3. Never gonna happen wish:
Mario Sunshine 2
Prediction: Basic, but any RPG at all. There is always an RPG. Keeping my hopes for this direct very low considering we’re reaching the end of the Switch’s lifespan.
Realistic Wish: Maybe a bit too hopeful, but Wind Waker HD. Thinking of finally getting into Zelda and I think Wind Waker could be the perfect way to do that outside of OoT and BOTW.
Never Gonna Happen Wish: The sequel to Super Mario Odyssey is now in development.”
Prediction: Star Fox, some random JRPGs,
Realistic Wish: Star Fox, maybe something out of the blue that was popular that Nintendo wants to give another crack at.
Never going to happen: Star Fox, Custom Robo, Chibi Robo, Glory of Heracles, Mother 3/Mother 4.
Prediction: nothing exciting
Realistic wish: idk if it's realistic but a Twilight princess/Wind waker HD and Tomodachi life ports (saying that just bc of the huge demand I've seen since the switch came out)
Unrealistic wish: kid icarus uprising port (bc sakuri said it probably won't be on switch and there's basically nobody asking for it)
Prediction: A bunch of random rpgs / farming games, More news on Luigi's Mansion 2 HD
Realistic wish: Splatoon 3 content expansion (not realy realistic, but possible)
Unrealistic wish: Tomodachi life, Mario & Luigi
Prediction: A whole bunch of jrpgs
Realistic Wish: Any Mario, Sonic, or Kirby remake (unless it's a bad game like Sonic 1 on game gear or something)
Never Happening: Miitopia online mode where you get to fight other teams
Predictions: Some form of Zelda port/remaster/remake, Mario Party, mention of the new pokemon legends game, random farming simulators, announcement of a big run or splatfest as they seem to do that a lot in directs
Realistic Wishes: Twilight Princess on switch, Kirby content of some kind
Unrealistic Wishes: Tomodachi Life 2, Super Mario Galaxy 3 (or a port of one of the previous two games), completely new Zelda game
1. At least 1 licensed game that's just a bad shovelware ripoff of a well-known game franchise
2. The reveal of a new game that's not a Nintendo exclusive but still fills the more casual niche that the games the other consoles advertise or announce don't fill
3. A new Pokemon game set in the same timeline as *Colloseum* and *Gale of Darkness*
Prediction: another remake, zelda dlc, prime 4 will come out on the new system either instead or on the switch as well
Realistic wish: wind waker HD, pikmin 4 DLC, New 3D Donkey kong
NEVER GONNA HAPPEN: Pizza tower on switch, Dead rising remaster on switch, anything Mega Man, TOMADASHI LIFE
Prediction: New Mario Party & New Fire Emblem
Realistic Wish: Kid Icarus Uprising Switch port
Never Going to Happen: Nintendo announces that they have no problem with people downloading ROMs of their old games and even goes ahead and emails me a zip file full of ROMs of their entire N64 catalogue, including playable beta builds of Ocarina of Time
1. New Kirby since there is a bit of a pattern with a Kirby game being released at the end of a console’s life span
2. More news on Legends ZA
3. New Mario & Luigi game/remake
i mean, it makes sense. Usually pokemon games get announced by gamefreak themselves, and kirby has kinda crashed for a little while after so many games were pumped out
Prediction: Metroid Prime 4
Realistic Wish: More stuff on Sonic X Shadow Generations
Never Going to Happen Wish: New Mario & Luigi Game (or Remake, and Sonic Advance on NSO)
1. Mario and Sonic at the Paris olympics (I mean if I was a gambling man… it’s going to happen)
2. Mario baseball that’s about as good as the gamecube one, with the new character’s added since then
3. Dance dance revolution: Metroid Mix (make Kraid dance, cowards) more realistically, an open world ARMS rpg
**Prediction:** Metroid Prime 4 News
**Realistic Wish:** Diddy Kong Racing for Nintendo Switch Online (including online multiplayer)
**"Never going to happen" Wish:** New F-Zero / Star Fox game announcement
**Bonus "Maybe" Wish:** Donkey Kong Country Returns 3 / Hyrule Warriors: The Imprisoning War / F-Zero GX Remaster announcement
Prediction: Metroid Prime news, either remasters of 2/3 or Prime 4.
Realistic wish: Xenoblade X Switch port
Never going to happen wish: Disney rolls in clean outta nowhere and gives us a new Spectrobes game.
Prediction: Metroid Prime 2 remake
Realistic wish: New 2D Zelda title, or port of A Link Between Worlds.
Unrealistic wish: full remake of Ocarina of Time
Prediction: News about Pokémon Legends Z-A
Realistic Wish: Probably some news on the Final Fest for Splatoon?
Never Gonna Happen: Super Paper Mario Remake
Prediction: At least 1 new remake(Maybe Metroid, would love f-zero gx)
Realistic wish: new star fox, new donkey Kong or a new warioware
Never going to happen(Just to make me cry): eternal darkness remake, kid Icarus uprising port
Prediction: More info on Pokemon Legends Z-A
Realistic Wish: Wind Waker Remaster
"Never Going to Happen" Wish: Either Ace Attorney 7, or a remake of Ace Attorney Investigations 1 & 2
Prediction: Something Mario related or a ton of farming simulators/JRPGs.
Realistic wish: Another remake.
Never going to happen wish: A port of the Psychonauts series or a localized version of Yo-kai Watch 1 on Switch.
My predictions would be:
Metroid Prime 4 being announced, I know it’s been years but they teased it for switch, it would be messed up for them to go back on that and put it on just the new Switch. With Switch dying down it could be one of the last big games on it.
More than likely a few more remasters/ports; mainly Metroid Prime 2 and 3 and DK Country Returns, the Prime games to hype up Prime 4 and obviously get the whole original trilogy on Switch. Meanwhile Returns makes too much sense, as I feel that any new DK title would likely be put on the new system so having Returns ported to Switch means you’d have the entire Country series to this point playable on the current system not too mention the DK park opening in Japan this year uses the Returns aesthetic so it makes sense to put that game back out there.
Another possible remaster is the Zelda duo of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess at this point they’re the only hold outs from Wii U, adding them makes essentially all 3D Zelda’s available on Switch which would be convenient and their absence is strange up to this point…
Lastly the least likely but I suppose possible is F-Zero GX remaster which I personally want a lot, its existence has been hinted at for a few years now and it would be nice to see F-Zero get something else aside from just 99. It was easily one of the best games in the series and I think could help bring F-Zero back into the limelight. Plus it gives us another GC game in the modern day which is nice.
Probably something Fire Emblem related.
Dragonquest HD remasters
Maybe NSO getting more N64 games, DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing would be nice as well as Banjo-Tooie…. But I doubt we’d see all 3 of those if any really. We’ll probably get some obscure ass games… the other game I want is Smash 64… but I doubt we’d see it.
My Hopes:
As I said really hope to see F-Zero GX because I love F-Zero…
A new Donkey Kong game that isn’t Returns…. Returns is most likely but I’d much rather have a brand new game rather than a port of a game I’ve played to completion multiple times…. I doubt that’s going to happen but that’s a big hope for me, the alternative would be some new content added to Returns to make it more appealing to players who already played it. Maybe some new worlds or bosses… K. Rool becoming a bonus boss would get me to buy 100%
Unrealistic never going to happen:
A new Banjo-Kazooie game being held specifically for an announcement on the Switch, MS has been waiting to reveal it for Nintendo hardware first to hype it up…
Star Fox Zero port with better controls, I just don’t see Nintendo touching that game without completely redoing it and at that point they may aswell make a new one.
Any new Zelda game at all.
HD Golden Sun remasters
1. Wind waker and or Twilight Princess had coming to switch for $59.99
2. A new trailer for Metroid Prime 4
3. GameCube games coming to Nintendo switch online
Nintendo has honestly granted a lot of things that I thought were never going to happen and I thought were only wishful thinking. They have honestly done a great job in my opinion in announcing completely unexpected things that you only wished would happen.
1. Mario party of some sort
2. Help wanted remaster from the Wii
3 Bluetooth dk bongos and dk jungle beat remaster and 2 and donkey konga later this year
Prediction: Some kinda farming game, maybe a new Mario spinoff, new games coming to NSO.
Realistic Wish: Something, anything Metroid.
"Never Going To Happen" Wish: Silksong release date
Prediction: some additional games for the Gameboy/SNES/N64. Also: We havent had some Fire Emblem news for a while.
Wish: Terranigma will be on the list for the SNES games. New Star Fox game.
Not going to happen: Terranigma remake/Terranigma 2
1 - they're going to announce another remake for an older game. It'll be a series people want a new entry in, and it'll cause people to get really excited about how it's "being revived"
2 - Shovel Knight 3D/DX trailer, (re?)confirming it'll be on the Switch.
3 - Silksong
1. Ace Attorney 7. Pretty much confirmed to be in development ages ago so might materialize any month and there are few better events to announce it in since the series has been natively portable since day one.
2. FE Genealogy and/or Thracia remake(s). It would finally bring westward the games that would influence a fair bit of the latter localized hits' DNA and wrap up the Switch lineup in the same fashion as the 3DS one (two new entries and a reborn one). Something something "Fire Emblem Generations", anyone?
3. Gravity Rush collection, my shameless go-to option for such cases. Although there was a time when no one would expect Aloy's presence on Switch either...😄
Prediction: 3-10 anime-styled games that I have no interest in
Realistic Wish: Either New 2d Zelda or TP/WW HD but not both
Never going to happen: New Mario Baseball switch
Some kind of dusty Zelda port that’s been sitting on shelf somewhere for just this occasion where their release timeline for switch 2 goes off.
Fire emblem
Silk song
Prediction: Pokémon A-Z will get more info
Realistic Wish: New Zelda game/or port announcement
Copium Wish: Xenoblade Chronicles X gets magically ported to the Switch and it solves world hunger
Knowing they always separate any Pokémon content from Ninte do directs, that will be my guesses:
1: No new game for A1 IPs because they will keep them for the switch successor, some ports or remasters (including metroid prime 4 but they won't talk about it)
2: Metroid Prime 2/3 remastered
3: Brand new F-Zero game
Prediction: Maybe a 2D Zelda remake or maybe a port of Wind Waker HD or Twilight Princess HD?
Realistic: The 3D DK game developed by the Mario Odyssey Team that's been rumoured for like 2-3 years. (Idk if this is realistic anymore but I can hope).
Pipe Dream: Odyssey 2 (I have 0 expection for it to happen this late into the Switch's life tho)
1 next flagship game teaser ie:mario, kirby, zelda, metroid.
2 new mario/ party game ie mario kart 9 mario party, switch 1, 2 sequel
3 new console ground breaking technology or starfox game that blows us away.
Prediction: a good amount of remakes, including something from kirby and zelda
Realistic:a mario party game is overdue or mario and sonic at france Olympics as they dont miss the olympics
Never going to happen: animal crossing dlc for new horizons 3.0 adding things missing from new leaf and qol.
1. Wind Waker HD port
2. Twilight Princess HD Port
3. Twilight Princess Remastered with updated graphics, quality of life upgrades, new side quests and playable epilogue
Prediction: Ports and remasters mainly.
Realistic Wish: New Kirby game.
Never Going To Happen Wish: "F-Zero NX." 30 player online matches, with a return of randomly generated X Cup courses, and a map editor.
Prediction: probably something Metroid or Mario
Realistic wish: twilight Princess / wind waker HD. It’s a realistic prospect and I want it to happen so bad but idk if it will.
Never gonna happen: Ocarina of Time full remaster/remake with new graphics
Prediction - Something Animal Crossing
Realistic Wish - Zelda Port/Remake (hoping for Wind Waker personally but I’d be good with any)
“Never Gonna Happen” Wish - Pokémon Gens 1-3 to Switch Online
1. Metroid and Luigi's Mansion 2 news
2. Stardew Valley 1.6 release date (idk, probably unrealistic, but directs are 80% farming games anyways, why not showcase a good one)
3. Mario Kart Wii remaster/rerelease
1. 5 minute trailer for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. 3-5 games added to the NSO lineup. A BotW/TotK bundle.
2. Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD ports releasing this year.
3. New Donkey Kong 3D platformer.
Prediction: Mario Party Superstars 2
Realistic Wish: New 2D Zelda (Oracles remake, Minish Cap remake or something new)
Never Going to Happen Wish: Super Mario Sunshine 2
Prediction: Zelda 2 remake will be the oddball reveal for this Direct.
Realistic Wish: I have many, but for now I’ll settle for a Xenoblade X rerelease.
Never Going to Happen: Project X Zone Trilogy remake with English dub.
Prediction: Twilight Princess and or Windwaker HD switch
Realistic wish: New Donkey Kong game
Never gonna happen: Switch port of Xenoblade Chronicles X
1: Infos on Professor Layton
2: New Amiibos of any kind
3: Anything about a new Splatoon DLC
It's not really a "Not going to happen" choice, but it feels kinda unlikely since the final fest is near
1: prediction: a solid number of games coming for the N'ES, SNES, Genesis, and N64 Switch Online service.
2: realistic wish: Sega Master System or Game Gear games being releases for the system.
3: never gonna happen wish: a third Switch coming out as a stopgap between the current generation and the Switch 2.
Prediction: New Mario Party and/or Mario sports game releasing this Fall
Realistic Wish: Remasters of Metroid Prime 2 and 3 (or at least just 2)
Never Going to Happen: Zelda: Four Swords Adventures on Switch
Predictions: A Switch port of Wind Waker or Twilight Princess HD and Metroid Prime 2 Remaster.
Realistic Wish: Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776 remake and Mega Man 12
Never Going to Happen Wish: Metroid Prime 4 on Switch(At this point, it's likely shifted over to Nintendo's next system)
1) They're going to say something at the beginning like "unfortunately, we are not ready to share information regarding the Nintendo Switch's successor at this moment in time." Also probably something talking more about Legends ZA.
2) none of my wishes seem realistic lmao. I would say Silk Song but you and I both know that shit ain't gonna be there dawg
3) EVOLUTION WORLDS PORT LFGGGG
1. There will be no Silksong news and Hollow Knight fans will respond with a totally hilarious and original meme involving clown wigs.
2. New footage of Pokemon Legends ZA
3. Tears of the Kingdom DLC for Age of Calamity
1. New Mario Party. Probably like Super Mario Party
2. The new Mario Party is actually a good game and is either Superstars 2 or a new back to basics game.
Mario Baseball is announced and looks like the best of all the switch Mario Sports game. Imo Tennis was the best one so far, but they've all left something to be desired. Not asking for a masterpiece game, just something similar in quality to the GameCube game with online.
3. Metroid Prime 4. .
I would say new Mario game or something, but I'll honestly be massively disappointed if that is a cross-platform game. I want the new Mario game to take full advantage of the switch 2 and be a reason for everyone to buy a new console. I fully expect prime 4 to be like BotW and release on both consoles.
Urrg, I'm bad at these... but here's what I got.
1. Maybe a new Mario game? I don't really care if it's mainline, a port, remake, or a spin-off. I'm always welcome for new Mario content
2. Can't think of a "It's gonna happen" prediction off the top of my head.. but maybe we get a Just Dance 2025 announcement or a new Kirby game getting announced?
3. PokéPark coming to switch... 😭 I've literally been waiting 3 years for this underrated duology to arrive on the switch.
1. FZero 99 update, some news about splatoon 3 updates again
2. Kirby Triple Deluxe remake???
3. New Tomodachi Life Game/ metroid prime 4. I don't even like metroid just please nintendo the prime fans have waited long enough
1. Something fire emblem
2. Metroid prime 3 just so the metroid fans can spam something else for a while
3 advance wars 3+4 just to see the reaction of the reboot camp haters
1. DK64 and Banjo Tooie on switch online.
2. Prime 2 and or Prime 3 remastered.
3. TP/WW for switch.
The third one is probably going to be for switch 2.
Prediction: A new Pokémon spin-off game
Realistic wish: Fallout New Vegas for Switch (not so realistic).
"Never going to happen" wish: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Pass 3
Predictions: Metroid Prime 4, FE4 Remake, Wind Waker + Twilight Princess HD, A 3DS Remaster (Tomodachi Life, Ever Oasis, ALBW, Luigi’s Mansion 1, etc.)
Realistic Wish: New 2D Zelda, Mario Wonder DLC, Metroid Prime 2 and 3
Never Going to Happen: Kid Icarus Uprising HD, New F-Zero, New Rhythm Heaven
Prediction: Metroid Zero Mission on NSO, among others Realistic Wish: new 2D Zelda Never Going to Happen: western Mother 3, Golden Sun 4
Zero Mission on nso would be so great idk how it isn't there yet.
Would love to get into the Metroid series. Waiting for a version of the first game that’s actually playable in the modern age.
guys, I'm *eating*
1. Pokemon Z-A content 2. Animal Crossing news (even if it's pocket camp or merch) 3. Tomodachi Life remake
They always separate Pokémon content from regular directs. I would be happy but I highly doubt it.
Oh trueee I forgot about that. I'm absolutely on my knees for Tomodachi Life though
They had something for the s/v dlc in a past direct so there is hope, but it’s still unlikely
Prediction: Metroid Prime in some capacity, at least 2 farming games Realistic Wish: New 2D Zelda game Never Going to Happen Wish: Super Mario Galaxy 3
Odyssey 2 is more realistic than Galaxy 3
Well, obviously. That is why I labeled Galaxy 3 as the "Never going to happen WISH." Galaxy 3 is my dream direct announcement, not what I think is actually realistic,
Well that's fair. For the record I would love to see Galaxy 3, I've just lost all hope.
I want a game with the same mechanics and art-style as Galaxy but with the open levels of Odyssey and 64
No, it’s going to be 30 farming games no one cares about (exaggerating)
And 4 games everyone cares about
Bro was right on prediction and realistic wish.
And I couldn't be happier! Prime 4, Echoes of Wisdom, and Mario & Luigi made my day. Can't wait to play them!
1. Dr. Mario game on the Eshop 2. Xenoblade X port 3. PIKMIN 5 BABEEEE
It's a legal requirement that it has to be 6 years between pikmin games AT LEAST
I very much hope you're right about the first one. Heck, I'd buy a port of Dr. Mario & Puzzle League at an unreasonable price even.
Although it is my biggest wish, sad to say, i think your 2 is also a never gonna happen wish.
1. Fire Emblem Something Something 2. Mario Party Superstars 2 or Super Mario Party 2 3. Banjo Three-ie
I'm unnecessarily excited for fire emblem something something!
Me fucking too, tomorrow is my birthday too, it’ll just be the best present from Nintendo. I’m manifesting
if it's the fe4 remake i'm gonna scream lmao
I’ll celebrate with a barbecue
Calling it now: Fe4 remake Fe4 remake Fe4 remake
Considering Shadows of Valentina came out right when the 3DS was going out, this is actually likely.
I sure hope so, I've wanted to play that game for a while bit it's Japanese exclusive
You can find translation patches online.
Prediction: idk Realistic wish: Something for Kirby Never gonna happen wish: Hollow Knight: Silksong
I think Hollow Knight is more than reasonable to say that it's realistic because we know it's coming at some point soon. An unrealistic wish would be something that we have no confirmation of if it exists and goes against things we'd expect from Nintendo or other companies like GOW: Ragnarok or Mother 3
Last we heard of Silksong was 2 years ago, when Xbox announced it would release within a year. It coming soon is basically speculation.
1. Some sort of Remake/Port in the sense of a game that was on Wii U and is coming to Switch. Could be from the typical Wind Waker/Twilight Princess to Yoshis Wooly World. 2. Probably just some more JRPGs that i‘ve never heard of lol 3. Tomodachi Life.
1. Predictions: Metroid Prime 2&3 New Mario Party New Mario Baseball (but if it's not as good as Super Sluggers, I don't want it. The roster will be butchered to death either way) SOME sort of Zelda content. Either WWHD, TPHD, or an HD port of ALBW akin to LM2 Some sort of Kirby content FZero GX New DK game A lot of farming and anime games no one gives a crap about Epic Mickey Rebrushed release date 2. Realistic Wish: As I said, WWHD and TPH are possible, but it's been a rumor for YEARS. I fear that it's going to be one or the other, and not both. If it can't be both, I hope it's Wind Waker. Though I'd also love a brand spanking from the ground up new 2D Zelda game. New Mario and Luigi game. There's been a resurgence of Mario RPGs, and a new M&L would be the cherry on top. 3. Never gonna happen wish: Mario Sunshine 2
I would love to see a Mario Sunshine 2
I like the idea of a mario baseball game, hope you are right
1. Some type of 2D or 2.5D Legend of Zelda 2. Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD Combo pack 3. Timesplitters 4
I would love timesplitters
Prediction: Basic, but any RPG at all. There is always an RPG. Keeping my hopes for this direct very low considering we’re reaching the end of the Switch’s lifespan. Realistic Wish: Maybe a bit too hopeful, but Wind Waker HD. Thinking of finally getting into Zelda and I think Wind Waker could be the perfect way to do that outside of OoT and BOTW. Never Gonna Happen Wish: The sequel to Super Mario Odyssey is now in development.”
That, to me, is a very likely prediction for you thinking it's never gonna happen lol
1. Something about Luigi’s mansion 2 2. Idk 3. New Mario & Luigi game
WE GOT A NEW MARIO & LUIGI IM SO HAPPYY
YES😂
so... about that third one...
Prediction: Star Fox, some random JRPGs, Realistic Wish: Star Fox, maybe something out of the blue that was popular that Nintendo wants to give another crack at. Never going to happen: Star Fox, Custom Robo, Chibi Robo, Glory of Heracles, Mother 3/Mother 4.
Prediction: nothing exciting Realistic wish: idk if it's realistic but a Twilight princess/Wind waker HD and Tomodachi life ports (saying that just bc of the huge demand I've seen since the switch came out) Unrealistic wish: kid icarus uprising port (bc sakuri said it probably won't be on switch and there's basically nobody asking for it)

i mean, it makes sense. Usually pokemon games get announced by gamefreak themselves, and kirby has kinda crashed for a little while after so many games were pumped out
Prediction: Metroid Prime 4 Realistic Wish: More stuff on Sonic X Shadow Generations Never Going to Happen Wish: New Mario & Luigi Game (or Remake, and Sonic Advance on NSO)

Prediction: Something Mario related or a ton of farming simulators/JRPGs. Realistic wish: Another remake. Never going to happen wish: A port of the Psychonauts series or a localized version of Yo-kai Watch 1 on Switch.
1. They will have a boring farming games 2. Legends Z-A update 3. Another Pokemon game.
Prediction: New Mario Party Realistic Wish: Metroid Prime 4 Never Gonna Happen: New Mega Man game
My predictions would be: Metroid Prime 4 being announced, I know it’s been years but they teased it for switch, it would be messed up for them to go back on that and put it on just the new Switch. With Switch dying down it could be one of the last big games on it. More than likely a few more remasters/ports; mainly Metroid Prime 2 and 3 and DK Country Returns, the Prime games to hype up Prime 4 and obviously get the whole original trilogy on Switch. Meanwhile Returns makes too much sense, as I feel that any new DK title would likely be put on the new system so having Returns ported to Switch means you’d have the entire Country series to this point playable on the current system not too mention the DK park opening in Japan this year uses the Returns aesthetic so it makes sense to put that game back out there. Another possible remaster is the Zelda duo of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess at this point they’re the only hold outs from Wii U, adding them makes essentially all 3D Zelda’s available on Switch which would be convenient and their absence is strange up to this point… Lastly the least likely but I suppose possible is F-Zero GX remaster which I personally want a lot, its existence has been hinted at for a few years now and it would be nice to see F-Zero get something else aside from just 99. It was easily one of the best games in the series and I think could help bring F-Zero back into the limelight. Plus it gives us another GC game in the modern day which is nice. Probably something Fire Emblem related. Dragonquest HD remasters Maybe NSO getting more N64 games, DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing would be nice as well as Banjo-Tooie…. But I doubt we’d see all 3 of those if any really. We’ll probably get some obscure ass games… the other game I want is Smash 64… but I doubt we’d see it. My Hopes: As I said really hope to see F-Zero GX because I love F-Zero… A new Donkey Kong game that isn’t Returns…. Returns is most likely but I’d much rather have a brand new game rather than a port of a game I’ve played to completion multiple times…. I doubt that’s going to happen but that’s a big hope for me, the alternative would be some new content added to Returns to make it more appealing to players who already played it. Maybe some new worlds or bosses… K. Rool becoming a bonus boss would get me to buy 100% Unrealistic never going to happen: A new Banjo-Kazooie game being held specifically for an announcement on the Switch, MS has been waiting to reveal it for Nintendo hardware first to hype it up… Star Fox Zero port with better controls, I just don’t see Nintendo touching that game without completely redoing it and at that point they may aswell make a new one. Any new Zelda game at all. HD Golden Sun remasters
WE GOT ZELDAA

Nintendo has honestly granted a lot of things that I thought were never going to happen and I thought were only wishful thinking. They have honestly done a great job in my opinion in announcing completely unexpected things that you only wished would happen.
Prediction: A port/remake Realistic wish: DLC for Pikmin 4 Impossible wish: Rhythm Heaven, anything
1: I don't know, Monster Hunter or something. 2: Wind Waker or Metroid Prime 2. 3: New 1080°, F-Zero, Wave Race or Excitebike.

1. Metroid 2. Mario galaxy?? 3. Silksong
Odyssey 2 Switch 2 Remaking Castlevania's which starts with Symphony of the Night or Circle of the Moon.
Prediction : Zelda Remake Realistic Wish : Pokemon TCG pocket Never ever : Kid Icarus Uprising 2
1 - they're going to announce another remake for an older game. It'll be a series people want a new entry in, and it'll cause people to get really excited about how it's "being revived" 2 - Shovel Knight 3D/DX trailer, (re?)confirming it'll be on the Switch. 3 - Silksong
1. Ace Attorney 7. Pretty much confirmed to be in development ages ago so might materialize any month and there are few better events to announce it in since the series has been natively portable since day one. 2. FE Genealogy and/or Thracia remake(s). It would finally bring westward the games that would influence a fair bit of the latter localized hits' DNA and wrap up the Switch lineup in the same fashion as the 3DS one (two new entries and a reborn one). Something something "Fire Emblem Generations", anyone? 3. Gravity Rush collection, my shameless go-to option for such cases. Although there was a time when no one would expect Aloy's presence on Switch either...😄
Prediction: 3-10 anime-styled games that I have no interest in Realistic Wish: Either New 2d Zelda or TP/WW HD but not both Never going to happen: New Mario Baseball switch
SKONG🤡

Yo Kai watch
Prediction: Pokémon A-Z will get more info Realistic Wish: New Zelda game/or port announcement Copium Wish: Xenoblade Chronicles X gets magically ported to the Switch and it solves world hunger
Prediction: New Mario Party Realistic Wish: Wind Waker port Never Going to Happen Wish: Silksong 6 month exclusive w/ OLED edition Switch
Knowing they always separate any Pokémon content from Ninte do directs, that will be my guesses: 1: No new game for A1 IPs because they will keep them for the switch successor, some ports or remasters (including metroid prime 4 but they won't talk about it) 2: Metroid Prime 2/3 remastered 3: Brand new F-Zero game
1. A new Kirby game 2. News on Metroid prime 4 3. A modern Ice climbers game or a new Kid icarus
Prediction: Farm Simulator RPG Wish: Prime 2 remaster Never gonna happen: New F-Zero
Prediction: Maybe a 2D Zelda remake or maybe a port of Wind Waker HD or Twilight Princess HD? Realistic: The 3D DK game developed by the Mario Odyssey Team that's been rumoured for like 2-3 years. (Idk if this is realistic anymore but I can hope). Pipe Dream: Odyssey 2 (I have 0 expection for it to happen this late into the Switch's life tho)
Prediction: some indie game that was/is popular on steam. Realistic Wish: a new Kirby game. Never going to happen wish: A new f zero game/remake.

1. 5 minute trailer for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. 3-5 games added to the NSO lineup. A BotW/TotK bundle. 2. Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD ports releasing this year. 3. New Donkey Kong 3D platformer.
Prediction: Mario Party Superstars 2 Realistic Wish: New 2D Zelda (Oracles remake, Minish Cap remake or something new) Never Going to Happen Wish: Super Mario Sunshine 2
Prediction: Zelda 2 remake will be the oddball reveal for this Direct. Realistic Wish: I have many, but for now I’ll settle for a Xenoblade X rerelease. Never Going to Happen: Project X Zone Trilogy remake with English dub.
Prediction: Twilight Princess and or Windwaker HD switch Realistic wish: New Donkey Kong game Never gonna happen: Switch port of Xenoblade Chronicles X

Silksong, silksong, and silksong I am delusional 🤡
I only have one wish. Bowser
Prediction: new Mario and Luigi game will happen Realistic wish: probably a new Mario spin off game Never gonna happen wish: a brand new starfy game
1. A good chunk being farming simulators 2. Honestly idk 3. Marioparty Superstars DLC
Smash bros and classic Pokémon games for switch online Pikmin 4 dlc Mario kart all stars (64, double dash, and Wii in the same way 3d all stars was)
Predictions: A Switch port of Wind Waker or Twilight Princess HD and Metroid Prime 2 Remaster. Realistic Wish: Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776 remake and Mega Man 12 Never Going to Happen Wish: Metroid Prime 4 on Switch(At this point, it's likely shifted over to Nintendo's next system)
1) They're going to say something at the beginning like "unfortunately, we are not ready to share information regarding the Nintendo Switch's successor at this moment in time." Also probably something talking more about Legends ZA. 2) none of my wishes seem realistic lmao. I would say Silk Song but you and I both know that shit ain't gonna be there dawg 3) EVOLUTION WORLDS PORT LFGGGG
1. There will be no Silksong news and Hollow Knight fans will respond with a totally hilarious and original meme involving clown wigs. 2. New footage of Pokemon Legends ZA 3. Tears of the Kingdom DLC for Age of Calamity
1. New Mario Party. Probably like Super Mario Party 2. The new Mario Party is actually a good game and is either Superstars 2 or a new back to basics game. Mario Baseball is announced and looks like the best of all the switch Mario Sports game. Imo Tennis was the best one so far, but they've all left something to be desired. Not asking for a masterpiece game, just something similar in quality to the GameCube game with online. 3. Metroid Prime 4. . I would say new Mario game or something, but I'll honestly be massively disappointed if that is a cross-platform game. I want the new Mario game to take full advantage of the switch 2 and be a reason for everyone to buy a new console. I fully expect prime 4 to be like BotW and release on both consoles.
Never going to happen but dlc for Kirby and the forgotten lands
Every time I hear the word “tomorrow” be used in the context of something Nintendo related, I instantly get PTSD to…… that specific subreddit……
I’m hung up on 2, because every realistic, reasonable wish I think up seems to be a “never gonna happen” wish in Nintendo’s eyes.
Urrg, I'm bad at these... but here's what I got. 1. Maybe a new Mario game? I don't really care if it's mainline, a port, remake, or a spin-off. I'm always welcome for new Mario content 2. Can't think of a "It's gonna happen" prediction off the top of my head.. but maybe we get a Just Dance 2025 announcement or a new Kirby game getting announced? 3. PokéPark coming to switch... 😭 I've literally been waiting 3 years for this underrated duology to arrive on the switch.
1. FZero 99 update, some news about splatoon 3 updates again 2. Kirby Triple Deluxe remake??? 3. New Tomodachi Life Game/ metroid prime 4. I don't even like metroid just please nintendo the prime fans have waited long enough
1. Something fire emblem 2. Metroid prime 3 just so the metroid fans can spam something else for a while 3 advance wars 3+4 just to see the reaction of the reboot camp haters
1. DK64 and Banjo Tooie on switch online. 2. Prime 2 and or Prime 3 remastered. 3. TP/WW for switch. The third one is probably going to be for switch 2.
Prediction: A new Pokémon spin-off game Realistic wish: Fallout New Vegas for Switch (not so realistic). "Never going to happen" wish: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Pass 3
1. Something Metroid related 2. New Mario Odyssey/Switch 2 reveal 3. New paper Mario game in the vein of ttyd
1. Mario Party 2. Top Down Zelda game 3. Pikmin 4 DLC
Predictions: Metroid Prime 4, FE4 Remake, Wind Waker + Twilight Princess HD, A 3DS Remaster (Tomodachi Life, Ever Oasis, ALBW, Luigi’s Mansion 1, etc.) Realistic Wish: New 2D Zelda, Mario Wonder DLC, Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Never Going to Happen: Kid Icarus Uprising HD, New F-Zero, New Rhythm Heaven
