Tune in at 7 a.m. PT tomorrow, 9/13, for a #NintendoDirect livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information mostly focused on Nintendo Switch games launching this winter.

Winter games so no Zelda (BOTW2)

Lol

 

[Ezquimacore]

 

[Bernd Lauert]

 

[Punished Miku]

Just got Splatoon. Bayonetta coming soon.

Fuck it, let's announce even more.

 

[Ezquimacore]

Winter games so no Zelda

Lol

They always have more stuff

 

[kanjobazooie]

Goldeneye?

 

[reksveks]

They always have more stuff

They also always ignore what they say in tweets re: dates. We are definitely going to see some mid 2023 titles.

 

[ManaByte]

Winter games so no Zelda

Lol

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are Zeldas.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'll have a Silksong, please and thank you.

 

[Ezquimacore]

Yeah at least two 2023 games and maybe a new teaser for Zelda before the actual Zelda direct.

 

[Punished Miku]

Pretty sure Harvestella is a $60 switch exclusive also. They'll probably show it again.

 

[Valedix]

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are Zeldas.

Well to specify BOTW2

 

[Nautilus]

 

[Dr.Morris79]

This is going to be such a good winter. Xenoblade Chronicles X and the Metroid Prime trilogy

Thanks Nintendo. Look forward to seeing more

You da best.

 

[Punished Miku]

Just saw it's 40 minutes. That's pretty massive. Maybe this is the E3 replacement after all? Not going to get my hopes up too much.

Last time Nintendo said that they would focus on x year, half of what they shown were for another year entirely.

So I wouldn't worry too much.(Plus winter goes almost up to march 2023, so...)

[Dr. Wilkinson]

This is going to be a good one. I can feel it!

Like I've been saying since they didn't really do a big June Direct this year, that just makes the next one even better. I think they have a lot of pent-up announcements to talk about, and since there is no first-party title that is Nintendo-developed after Splatoon 3 comes out (Pokemon and Bayo are made by TPC, Platinum), I think there's definitely some more first-party stuff lined up for Novemer-March window beyond just BotW 2 in the spring, that they can put out there. Outside of Pokemon there is no big Nintendo title, and there's also nothing in December. Wind Waker HD/ Metroid Prime remaster would fill that hole nicely, and then maybe a Woolly World port in January or February? I would love to see that game get some more love, it's so much better than Crafted World in every possible way, it's crazy how they haven't ported it to Switch yet.

We're also due for a Mario game, and I bet they will have *something* Mario lined up to time around or before the movie next spring. That could also be shown, since this is their last general Direct before the traditional Feb/March Direct to fill in the late Spring/ summer lineup.

Tomorrow's going to be great, folks! Believe it. Have faith. Nintendo knows how eagerly we've been waiting for the 'Big' Direct that never happened in June.

*Someone who's not at work right now and has time, can check to see if this is the shortest turnaround between announcement and air time for a general Direct? 24 hours is the shortest I can recall.

 

[Astral Dog]

BAYONETTA! BAYONETTA! BAYONETTA!

this is gonna be a good one guys

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Awesome!!!

Switch will get versions of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess to soften the blow of another BOTW 2 delay that will be announced tomorrow also (after a nice new trailer)

 

[TheGodfather07]

i ended up getting a used wii u for twlight princess and wind waker hd because slowtendo were taking so long with their ports. not to mention the price nintendo will release them at.

 

[SenkiDala]

But and the Queen Elizabeth funeral ? Oh Nintendo you have no heart.

 

[Ezquimacore]

The only way I would buy those games again is if they run at 60fps.

 

[daclynk]

LETSSS GOOOOOOO

 

[AJUMP23]

I hope we get some new BotW2 stuff.

 

[jufonuk]

 

[Punished Miku]

They put out new content for Mario 3D World. I do wonder what they're planning to sweeten the deal this time. Dual pack? New content? Nothing?

Guess we'll see.

 

[RoboFu]

cool so now we get to know the other sursprise GOTY of 2022 besides Xenoblade 3 .

 

[Party McHardy]

2022 is saved.

 

[lovetalkgames]

It’s a long shot but I hope they play with the lighting and visuals on Twilight if it is indeed getting a Switch release. The visuals plus that horrid opening to the game is why I never really got into it.

 

[Saber]

At least they made some entertaiment showcases, even when they end up with no games of my interest.
Gonna watch it.

 

[TexMex]

Wind Waker or Prime 1 is all I care about. Pretty confident we’ll get at least one if not both.

I know they’ll just dump roms from Ebaumsworld onto a cart and I don’t care.

 

[Ezquimacore]

Twilight is an amazing Zelda game if you're strong enough to finish the wolf link bs for the first three dungeons.

 

[Maestr0]

Let's go !

 

[The_hunter]

I'm here for Bayonetta 3.

 

[Wunray]

Will be having out of body experiences in the airport tomorrow.

 

[AV]

Nintendo, you haven't been answering the letters I've been writing about an Oracle of Seasons/Ages remake package. I'll just assume your responses got lost in the mail and you'll be showing them tomorrow. Thanks.

 

[RoadHazard]

Awful time for Europe, we're all still at work at that time. Which I guess is true for Americans too. So awful time for everyone I guess!

 

[Punished Miku]

It's for press in NA I think. Early in the day so they run articles. They just expect people to watch it whenever.

 

[RoadHazard]

Yeah. But I need to watch these things live or not at all.

Lol

It says "mostly" focused on winter games, even says it on their youtube channel.

 

[Murdoch]

Being completely honest... Nintendo and their games are the only things that are holding my interest in any meaningful way at the moment. I've played some real dross this year and games like Splatoon and Kirby have been pretty special (TinyKin aside - fantastic game)

So consider me very interested in this Direct!

 

[saintjules]

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Nintendo are fucking killing it this year, let’s hope the holiday season is looking ripe with more games I can shove in the backlog.

 

[Mister Wolf]

After finishing XB3 I need a trailer for that story expansion. I pray it's not a prequel. Give me an epilogue.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Winter games so no Zelda (BOTW2)

Lol

Omg every. single. time. somebody says this because it's outside of the window they state the Direct is talking about. And yet, every. single. time. Nintendo has shown they announce and talk about things further out than the announced window. I do not understand why people keep falling for this, it's crazy to me.

 

[Isa]

Hope its good, I expect some nice things here. Looking forward to more Bayonetta, some neat rpgs, anything Zelda and maybe finally a Xenoblade Chronicles X port(too soon probably). I'd also like another Mario platformer. Nintendo really is owning this year. TGS is an exciting time, can't wait to see what else is announced this week.
