Original Article [Mon 12th Sep, 2022 18:05 BST]: It's happening folks, it's yet happening! After keeping america successful the acheronian for months connected extremity (bar some rumours which had america convinced of its truth), Nintendo has contiguous announced that it volition beryllium hosting a afloat Direct Showcase tomorrow (September 13th) astatine 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST.

Thanks to word from Giant Bomb writer and all-round rumour instrumentality Jeff Grubb, we person been led to judge that determination is going to beryllium a batch of Zelda contented for america to get into with this one. It seems apt that we volition perceive astir Switch ports for either 1 oregon some of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess, and could time yet beryllium the time erstwhile we get to perceive something much astir Breath of the Wild 2? Just springiness america a rubric astatine slightest Nintendo, please!

There is besides connection that tomorrow's Direct could spot the uncover that Metroid Prime is coming to the Switch, with rumours of that peculiar larboard seemingly having been astir since the opening of clip itself.

But what other volition we see? Will determination beryllium quality of Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp? Might we perceive astir Xenoblade Chronicles 3 DLC? Will we cognize much astir an upcoming Mario game, Odyssey 2 oregon otherwise? Is determination even more Zelda quality that we mightiness person missed?

Some of our fantastic writers present astatine Nintendo Life person shared their predictions for what mightiness conscionable look successful the Direct below.

Oh, however I would emotion to beryllium contrary successful my predictions and accidental that I honestly judge this Direct volition spot the Switch merchandise of thing large and unexpected. The information of the substance is, I would beryllium lying if I said I wasn’t excited astir the astir apt scenarios.

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess ports aside, I americium really hoping for immoderate Breath of the Wild 2 news. With Splatoon 3 retired of the mode and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet connected the horizon, Nintendo needs to springiness america immoderate much accusation connected their adjacent large title, and wherefore shouldn’t it beryllium the 1 astir which I americium the astir excited? I deliberation a afloat merchandise day is inactive unlikely, but a caller trailer and authoritative rubric must beryllium connected the cards, right?

It's for the aforesaid crushed that I americium holding retired for immoderate quality connected the adjacent Mario Odyssey-esque game. Putting speech my ain idiosyncratic infatuation with the 3D release, Odyssey was a immense rubric for the Switch and with Super Mario 3D All-Stars not coming adjacent to scratching that itch, Big-N would bash good to support our emotion for the plumber connected bully presumption earlier the dreaded movie drops…

With the rumour mill churning retired each the accustomed suspects (which – don’t get maine incorrect – I’d emotion to spot materialise), determination are a mates of lower-tier titles that would marque my time were they to amusement up. Grezzo has been awfully quiescent for the past mates of years, and aft eyeing the approaching 30th day of The Frog For Whom The Bell Tolls (the Japan-only Game Boy title, Kaeru nary Tame ni Kane wa Naru, which served arsenic the template for Link’s Awakening), I would love to spot a remake of that connected Switch successful the aforesaid cute style.

The accomplishment of Game Boy titles connected Nintendo Switch Online has been rumoured for a portion and mightiness marque consciousness arsenic a mode to bolster the basal offering. Having gone backmost to Wave Race 64 recently, it’s fired up my enthusiasm for a caller introduction successful that series, oregon Excitebike, oregon 1080, oregon (whisper it) F-Zero. Or Rhythm Heaven. It’s clip for much Rhythm Heaven!

And beyond first-party, determination was that rumour that Rocksteady’s Arkham Collection was coming to Switch. I could get down that.

Alana Hagues, Staff Writer

I ever similar to spell into a Nintendo Direct with debased expectations for fearfulness of being disappointed, but I confess – my bosom needs immoderate much Hollow Knight: Silksong successful my life. If we’re feeling other daring, however astir a merchandise date? I’m going to beryllium fto down, aren’t I?

Anyway, for immoderate things that look much realistic: it’s been a portion since we’ve heard thing astir the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. I’ll support bringing it up connected each azygous 1 of these posts until we get a caller trailer oregon something. And, sticking with RPGs I deliberation we mightiness get a look astatine Xenoblade Chronicle 3’s archetypal Season Pass update. It’s owed successful the winter, aft all!

Really, though, Directs are wherever I get astir excited for the things I would ne'er predict. I emotion surprises, truthful arsenic overmuch arsenic I would beryllium thrilled to spot the Metroid Prime remake travel existent (and I’ll driblet wealth connected it truthful fast, having ne'er played it connected GameCube oregon Wii), a marque caller rubric oregon larboard of a hidden, hard to find gem would beryllium a blast. Show america what you’ve got, Nintendo.

Ollie Reynolds, Staff Writer

Like astir Nintendo Directs, I consciousness similar I could bash retired a full clump of predictions and past none of them crook retired to beryllium true. Ain’t that the way? That said, the rumours surrounding imaginable ports of Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Metroid Prime are so wide astatine the moment, I benignant of consciousness similar determination has to beryllium thing there, right?

Otherwise, I’d precise overmuch similar to spot immoderate benignant of update connected Metroid Prime 4; possibly conscionable a abbreviated teaser? Something to archer maine that it’s inactive successful the works and connected its way. I’d besides emotion to spot the Switch get immoderate tasty fearfulness games successful the coming months, due to the fact that it benignant of feels similar the different platforms are getting each the bully fearfulness games astatine the infinitesimal (hi, Resident Evil 4 remake). For a final, alternatively niche prediction/wish, it would beryllium perfectly unthinkable if developer ZA/UM came retired with immoderate benignant of sequel to Disco Elysium… One tin lone hope.

As for this wintertime — which is seemingly what the Direct volition beryllium chiefly focused connected — I’m good, y’know? I don’t privation to spot overmuch much of games similar Bayonetta 3, Mario + Rabbids Spark of Hope, and Sonic Frontiers. Certainly thing connected Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, convey you precise much. I cognize astatine this constituent whether I’m going to get them oregon not, truthful different trailer isn’t going to alteration my mind.

Are you excited for the Direct? Are determination immoderate titles that we person missed? Let america cognize successful the comments below!
