Can Nintendo keep the success going? Will they come out with a new hardware successor? Where is Pikmin 4 and the new Metroid Prime? Will Nintendo get cancelled by cancel culture for removing LGBT political messages in their Smash Bros stages? Find out on the next Dragonball Z!

Not sure of the hype really. Tears of Kingdom is the only thing left I am actually looking forward to on the Switch.
But hey, it's been a while since the last direct. Surprise me.

What's the odds of a new hardware announcement?


They certainly would be in a good position for a hardware reveal.

-Switch has made its money
-6 years since the previous entries of Zelda, Mario, and Mario Kart
-Retro hasn't release anything in 9 years


It all depends on how much foresight they had during the development of these games.
The last thing people want is a crossgen Tears or Odyssey 2
And yet we've been hit with crossgen launch titles several times in Nintendo's history

Well I don’t see how Uprising could be done on a normal controller without some major tweaking. And the graphics would need a complete overhaul. But if they somehow overcame both those hurdles, it would be really great to have that game be playable on a normal controller with decent graphics. It just seems like a pipe dream.

I am excited for a new DK game tho. As long as it’s an internal-developed DK by Nintendo EPD, and an actual adventure/platformer and not some horrible gimmick like bongos or King of Swing, I am all for it.

An update on Fae Farm and Pikmin 4 would be nice. And I think spring is too crowded, but a port of Woolly World would be absolutely fantastic, and a welcome surprise..

All I really care about is more TotK info. Best case scenario would be if they launch a “Switch 4K model” alongside the game.

I do enjoy the people who think that after TotK Nintendo will cease to exist.
I don't think we'll TotK in the direct, I feel like they will announce it's own direct in the direct.

I would think it's time to show Metroid Prime 4, I don't think the remake is a real thing anymore. It seems to me like a dream similar to Metroid Prime Trilogy HD and Star Fox GrandPrix.

Hoping for Silksong shadow drop.

The bear of bad news
Nintendo is bigtime crudola to me now except for Metroid and Zelda, which are admittedly awesome.

Unless they bring back Fzero, Kid Icarus or Waverace or some good franchise that they killed off,
 
What's the odds of a new hardware announcement?
I think it’s all based on Tears Of The Kingdom. If they have a version of it ready to show for the new hardware, I think there is a great chance they’ll tease the new hardware and announce a date for the full reveal of the new hardware.

Guess I'm hopping on. Advance Wars 1+2 Shadow Drop or Bust!
I think the odds are in your favor 🎉

I remember people, including Nintendo, saying the same thing about Skyward Sword. But when games are needed, they will find a way. If it’s true that Nintendo is transitioning their new game development to Switch 2, its very reasonable to expect Kid Icarus HD coming to Switch. Your expectations are very reasonabl. I could see alot of these questions being answered this direct.

I think the Switch is winding down so I’m not expecting Prime remake/trilogy or 4 to show up. I’m expecting MK9 and Prime 4 to headline Switch 2’s launch.

I think TotK blow out, third parties, maybe Hogwarts Legacy, couple of smaller Nintendo titles like a Yoshi game or something.
