Nobody talking about next month's Direct? This will most likely be the last general Direct for the Switch. I actually want them to not say anything about Metroid Prime 4, just for the salt/lulz it would generate

I imagine there'll be stuff like Hi-Fi Rush there, but Metroid Prime 4 is all but confirmed to be a Switch 2 launch title at this point. The fact it restarted development just screams "we're using new hardware".

We already have a Pokémon lined up, so that announcement is done. Other than that, I got no clue what could be there. Typically speaking, Kirby and Pokémon usually pad out the end, along with some Mario spinoff.

Best guess, we get another Mario sport (please baseball) to round out the end. It is either that or Party.

I could also see a new IP to finish off since 3DS had new IPs drop nearing its end (Ever Oasis).

Nothing ground-breaking will come out, but it will be a decent parting ways.
 
I hope Switch 2 does inbrace new tec more. Stuff like HDR (HDR+ or DV support would be even better), 120HZ/ variable refresh rate support and having a screen much like that Steam Deck that can handle 40fps.

Would say hope for a OLED or OD-OLED screen at launch, but Nintendo will just try to sell that later to get people to double dip.

they have reportedly been sitting on ports of Zelda Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. Maybe this is the time they'll finally bring them out

Hopefully, would be nice to have all the Zelda games under one roof. They also haven't made a 2D Zelda since 2019, so they could try a small scale game, even if it is another remake like Link To The Past or Between Worlds.

Why should we? Most of the recent ones barely had anything noteworthy in them

This is the "E3 equivelent" direct and they're making it sound like it will lay out the second half of the year as normal, so it should have, I hope, Metroid. Thats all we really have left to look forward to. But its not really worth discussing until it actually gets shown.

I also have that game for the Wii U that's besides the point

Yes, I agree. Most people want it because they didn't bother with a WiiU and it sold like shit. Also, Nintendo coomers can't seem to stop buying Zelda games over and over. (Says the guy who owns two copies of Breath of the Wild but one has the DLC on cart!)

I think the only Metroid we'll see before the Switch 2 reveal is the other Prime Remasters. There's no reason outside of switching hardware that Nintendo goes out of their way to mention Prime 4 at every opportunity without ever actually showing anything: It's on hardware that as far as Nintendo's marketing is concerned, doesn't exist yet. So you can't put a "Nintendo Switch" logo on the end of the trailer, even if it's just CGI or bullshots, and it would be extremely weird for Nintendo to be like "Here's this game that's coming out, it's not going to be on the Switch, but we can't say what it'll actually be on!"

I've seen a lot of people suggest in this thread that Prime 4 is going to be multiplat, but I really doubt that, even with its growing popularity in recent years, Metroid has enough pull to do the Twilight Princess/Breath of the Wild thing.

Like you said though, no point in talking about it until we see it. For all we know they'll show the first trailer and it'll look like total dogshit. Prime Remastered made me comfortable in that it'll at least look good, but Retro hasn't put out anything substantial since Tropical Freeze. To be fair, Tropical Freeze is no-contest Top 10 Platformers of All Time, but it's been over a decade since then and even longer since they've done anything original with Metroid.

I guess we'll see before long if Retro's still got it.

I always prefer waiting to see what games the Direct actually showcases rather than theorizing its entire lineup everytime.
I do assume Ace Combat 7 to make an appearance though since its release date is for this July.
