It is yeeeear’s most amazing tiiiiiime. No, it’s not a holiday with a gift-giving old man (which is good too), it’s Nintendo Direct Time, Baby!
And of course, like the tradition of Nintendo Direct Eve, we put out a tray of 1UP mushrooms and superstars for Miyamoto, and we sat around the fire guessing what we could get. This year I’m a great gamer and I don’t troll, disconnect or always say “gg” when needed. So I feel like I’ve won part of my wish list.
Here are our expectations, hopes and fears of the 40-minute showcase: Please let us know in the comments.

Switch OLED, new controller, lab … lol
Kate: The other day I saw a new controller registered … I don’t know what it is, but the Game Boy controller looks good just because I want to know how it’s working on it. prize. idea. But I also like the N64 controller. That way, young people can experience the same dilemma that we did: “But I don’t have three hands.”
Tom: The Nintendo Switch Online controller definitely seems like a good bet, and I like the idea of a cute little wireless N64 controller. It will splatter from the My Nintendo shelves. It’s very difficult to talk to Nintendo, but it would be interesting if it was a wacky lab-style announcement from the left fielder.
Ryan: Yes, I also bet on new controllers related to Switch Online. Do not It has nothing to do with it. I’ve never felt the need to get NES and SNES controllers, but the quirky little Game Boy and N64 controllers may want to resist too much.
Ringfit News
You can expect
Image: Nintendo
Kate: Or ask me: Other games that use Ringcon. We’re not talking about adding a ring-con mini-game to WarioWare: Get It Together, we’re talking about a complete game designed around its squeeze controller. It was expensive! come!
Ryan: Maybe a sequel? A collaborative sequel for you and your partner / friend / grandma to train side by side. Ring Fit Adventure 2 Gether..
Nintendo Switch Online Update
Gameboy, N64
Gavin: Recently, there is too much smoke to prevent the fire from coming out.Even if it’s a small spark, not a huge flame all A retro platform you might want. You already have access to almost everything you want to play on your original hardware, but download the new Nintendo app right away before ignoring it.
Kate: This seems pretty certain … but I would like to know exactly what this means for NSO. There are many games I would like to see on Switch, but Nintendo doesn’t want to pay a license fee for most of them. Still, the first-party catalogs are Game Boy and N64 crackers.
Tom: If the Game Boy report is money, I also want a GBA. Because there was a cracking game in that cool little system, giving players weeks to play Metroid. Fusion makes sense. Of course, the N64 will be neat. We hope that subscriptions will generally increase with some great additions. I think it’s worth the money, but it’s nice to see Nintendo turn the story into something more positive.
Rumored announcement
Coffee and blood

Gavin:rumor Castlevania Advance Collection It will be a nice little gift to ease us in the fall. The Switch may not yet have the Symphony of the Night, but the Aria of Sorrow is pretty special.
Tom: Alan Way Climaster It looks like a solid bet, thanks to the ratings that popped up online. Like most people, they prefer simple ports based on originals that work natively, but probably (* sigh) the cloud version. I don’t expect megatons because the timing of this stream is wrong (terrible for the EU, very early for Japan), but there is no doubt that there are some goodies and NSO updates, maybe that’s enough? ??
Metroid dread
Is there anything left to learn?
Gavin: I’ve filled in all the details of the pre-release Dread — I’m happy with the complete media blackout until October 8th.
Tom: What Gavin said.
Ryan: Also what Gavin said.
Kate: What Tom and Ryan said.
Life Is Strange: True Colors
Shining through

Kate: Square Enix is strangely silent about the day when the release of Life Is Strange: True Colors for Switch was delayed. I think it’s thanks to Direct. I want to play!
Tom: Hope the strange silence is not the kind of “Oh, we can’t announce it and get it done”.
Mario Party Superstars
One party that controls all of them
Tom: I really want a segment for this, it’s the perfect Christmas game!
Ryan: I’m usually not a fan of Mario Party, but something caught my attention about this when it was first unveiled. I would like to meet a little more happy – and we will surely do so.
Advance Wars
Memories tank
Tom: Me Worship It’s a strategy and tactics based game, but I’ve never played the original. Shocking, I know, but I’m pretty excited about these stylish remakes. Maybe you’ll get an overview introducing new features. I want daily and weekly challenges, or something in line with them.
Ryan: I haven’t played Advance Wars either, so you can take a closer look at the remakes. With so many games and little time, I really need to be sure I like something before jumping in, so I hope the Nintendo marketing team can seduce me with the new footage.
Soft Atabu Academy
Test pandemic and atrophied gray matter
Tom: They can’t be worse than publishing a trailer with Dad, the actor’s briefs seemed to “pretend you’re forever angry and bored.”
Get out now!
There is always one
Kate: This may sound boring, but if you get a lot of “OUT NOW” announcements, I hope it’s a game you don’t want to play. My list is very long now, and we are about to enter a busy season …
Tom: I think their record is a 7’out now’game from the last indie world-let’s break that record (they don’t, but it would be fun).
Ryan: Maybe they pull back Reggie and give the surprise “put out Mother 3 after this presentation”. They definitely won’t.
Notice of Super Smash Bros.
Blurred
Image: Nintendo
Gavin: There should be at least some new amiibo news, but if it’s due to be released by the end of the year, we’re running out of time for the final DLC Challenger announcement. Obviously, Nintendo may save it for the Game Awards, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sakurai trotting for the “last” time. Everyone says Drago, but my money is in the crash.
Tom: Please stop.
Ryan: Waluigi for memes? Sakurai himself, meme too? I want a spiro, but I forgot to bomb Sakurai with a tweet, so I don’t think it will happen.
Kate: It will be some plump guy named Craig from a cult-loving Game Boy game I’ve never heard of.
Indies
40 minutes means at least one sizzle reel, right?
Kate: When it comes to indie music, I just want a lot of them. It’s a great position to be spoiled for choice, so I love not having time to pack and play great games in the e-shop. Thanks, I just pipe them all directly into my veins.
Gavin: The Blade Anniversary Edition was announced many years ago, right? It’s time to see it again.I will take the port witnessAlso, I think Switch’s indie wish list is now complete.Switch practically has Everything else..
Tom: Can you imagine a 40 minute sizzle reel? We all spontaneously ignite. But yeah, I love the “outnows” of sizzle reels and indies, so my fingers crossed.
Splatoon 3
squid’s

Tom: I think this might be a good bet for an overview trailer that breaks the “out in 2021” rule. Maybe look at some maps, or perhaps the hub / central area, if it makes the look, it will look great in any case.
Ryan: I keep forgetting that Splatoon 3 is a thing, so any little bullying-anything would be great. Splatoon 2 is one of my most played Switch games, so I’m sure 3 will captivate me again.
Kate: I sincerely hope that Splatoon 3’s voice chat has a better option than “use a misleading app”.
Danganronpa Collection
There is nothing new
Kate: I’m guessing this because it’s a winter release (Nintendo said it can be expected) and it’s a huge collection of games. I don’t know what else I can learn because it already has a release date, but you wouldn’t be surprised if it was put in there … maybe an additional DLC?
Pokemon?
Probably not?
Tom: The Pokemans franchise is usually saved for its own show, but it may also be drafted to introduce the trailer to the Pokemon Company boss.
Ryan: Diamond and Pearl Remakes and Legends: I can’t imagine seeing anything but reminding me that Arceus is approaching. Probably a new trailer?
Bayonetta 3
Don’t disappoint
Image: Nintendo
Gavin: I wish I knew how the development was going.
Tom: Haha, I like it.
Ryan: Hopefully, “very well”.
Animal Crossing DLC / Update
…please?
Kate: Now it’s autumn, do you know what you need? Pumpkin spice latte … with pigeon milk.
Gavin: Nintendo Animal Crossing: Can include the smallest bite of New Horizons content, which will probably steal all headlines. New Horizons is seriously lacking in the caffeine sector, but more than Brewster, you wouldn’t be surprised to see some kind of happy home designer-sized spin-off. It’s not an “appropriate” Animal Crossing game. A new AC product to purchase for Nintendo Switch entertainment systems.Good or bad, it will sell at Ouges amount.
Kate: If you get the “instead” spin-off of the update, I think AC fans will riot.
Tom: Playing Animal Crossing every day But phew I need new content. It’s a little too close to real life-it’s repetitive, calm and predictable. I love games, or more specifically my islanders, but Nintendo has dropped the ball in the last 6-12 months. As Gavin said, you’ll do anything at this stage, Give us something..
Ryan: For some reason, I wasn’t even thinking about the possibilities of a new game, but an idea like Gavin’s Happy Home Designer is a good cry. Is it also time for New Horizons to receive a major Welcome amiibo-style update and make things really fresh?
Amazing
Nintendo Acquires Microsoft
Image: Nintendo
Kate: Alex said Arms 2, So I’m guessing Arms2. Except that they want to call it “Arms 2: Legs”.
Tom: Miyamoto puts Pikmin in his jacket’s chest pocket and pops it up, recalling his memories of 10 years ago and saying that Pikmin 4 is in a can after the show.
Ryan: Mr. Furukawa can come and personally track everyone who sells retro Nintendo games on eBay at ridiculous prices, get them to understand, and finally buy a copy of Metroid Fusion only once. Say it will be.
Something disappointing
Microsoft acquires Nintendo
Tom: They announce another Smash Brothers expansion pack and spend 20 minutes to showcase the exciting new character Babsey’s Move Set.
Ryan: What a mess, don’t extend another Smash Bros. Please rest.
Kate: The only way I can smash and be okay is if they finally put in Waluigi.
Gavin: Animal Crossing amiibo Festival Deluxe..
One of the things you want is really unlikely
Fantasy life 2
Tom: Sin and punishment 3..
Gavin: Real play: Switch Edition. If I keep thinking about it and keep saying it, the banjo will eventually appear on Switch — that’s how it worked for Smash. I also want to rebuild the amazing USS Enterprise that has been lost forever over time. structure Except I stupidly deleted it 10 years ago. An underrated game, that.
Kate: I was giving up hope for something unlikely, but now I want Rare Replay.Please give me Long-lived pinata At the Nintendo console to which it belongs!
Ryan: I’m going to say Dino Crisis Remaster again. I used to say Pokemon Snap 2 every time, but it really happened, so you never know.
Oh, there’s no such thing as Nintendo Direct to start the fall moon. Comments, feel free to go to my friends and guess not tomorrow.
