Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) The rumours were true! Seems like a chunky Direct, I was worried we were sleepwalking towards another Partner Showcase or Direct Mini. For anyone curious, there have been a couple of rumours floating around for this one, such as... Spoiler • a new 2D Mario coming up • a remake of an SNES title (bets seem to be on the Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War remake?) I'm really curious to see if any of the many Atlus announcements from the Xbox Direct get Switch versions announced here. Oh, and it does seem like someone indeed jumped the gun on Baten Kaitos in SEA, seems almost certain to be shown off here. Anyways, now we have Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters (albeit not enough physical copies)...time for me to hop on the Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger ports/remasters/remakes train, let's see 'em Square!

Posted June 20, 2023 Hmm, I wonder if this could be pretty DLC heavy? Wouldn't be shocked if TOTK gets DLC announced here (even if I think it'd be a bit too soon; I think plenty, myself included, are still playing through the game!). Then there's Splatoon 3. And the next wave of Mario Kart. Curious to see if they just throw out a bunch of ports too, like the long rumoured Wind Waker and Twilight Princess ports, or even ports of Prime 2 and Prime 3? Probably be more basic than the Prime Remastered effort, but might as well cash in if it's in the works I suppose? I also think this feels like a potential last big Direct for the Switch (disclaimer: we're going to be saying this about every Nintendo Direct we get from now up until we hear about the Switch successor, sorry), obviously depending on what Nintendo's plans actually are for its successor. Which I think begs the bigger question: do we finally see Metroid Prime 4 here? Or is that now just Schrödinger's Metroid Prime 4 until we finally learn about the Switch successor?

Posted June 20, 2023 Metroid Prime 4 will be announced. They'll act like this is the first time they're revealing it. Even better, they announce Metroid Prime 5, and then act like they already released 4 but everyone missed it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
