Nintendo as a company has brought me pure joy from a little girl playing Nintendo original, to now where I'm doing a celebrity dance over this news! I can't wait to see all the reviews about it!

[@codezero7981]

FINALLY! it's officially acknowledged by Nintendo now 🙌🏼

[@mageius]

My call is we get the Fire Emblem remake that's been rumored for ages in the direct.

[@blackmario1117]

Maybe that 2D Donkey Kong game as well .

[@grayfox4819]

Too soon. Intelligent Systems has been busy with too many games in the last year and half (Fire Emblem Engage, Wario Ware Move It and Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door), there's no way they handled another FE game in the meantime, so if that remake exists, it won't come before the next console)

[@mageius]

@grayfox4819 it's 1 of those "Nintendo sitting on it for a while." As they did the same with Engage.

[@cliffjumper1984]

​@grayfox4819 there has been that rumor last year several sources indicated that holy wars remake was on its way. I hope that's true lol

[@cliffjumper1984]

I was lucky to get on of my favorite games in the series redone, in SoV. I would like the next one to be Holy Wars/Thracia 776 dual game. And others want the Tellius pair. I could do both I guess.

[@asmongoldsmouth9839]

*I pray it is backwards compatible. We need to put a stop to having to have 5 or more consoles just to enjoy older gen games.*

[@DDKoD]

The way Furakawa described it, I think it will be

[@FalseJumble]

yeah it is, i really don’t think would call it “another switch” if it wasn’t

[@remyoconnor3141]

Oh Asmongold, how would Nintendo take advantage of all of its customers if it were? I honestly expect the next one to be made of tinker-toys, with cartridges the size of NES cartridges. That’s the quality and greed we have all come to expect from Nintendo.

[@renatoramos8834]

Such nonsense. Of course it will have BC.

[@mkjjoe]

@@remyoconnor3141 great cynicism

[@Dash120z]

in my opinion this is how it's gonna be (similar to the first Switch): -trailer/announcement: October '24 -release date: March '25

[@renatoramos8834]

IF it's coming in march, they may as well wait until january for the reveal.

[@mkjjoe]

I doubt they'd overshadow the last holiday dedicated to Switch.

Don't do this to me again with The Windwaker HD. Its been a "sure thing" for the last 3 years.

[@yakkattack]

Soon to be 4 years

[@birdbig6852]

Or they could announce the console in Septembre along with a massive reduction for the Switch. I just can't see how they will sell 13.5 million Switch for the next year without big games or astounding price reduction.

[@renatoramos8834]

Nothing short of a miracle game lineup would let them reduce the decline so much. They are 100% going to do a price cut.

And I cannot thank you enough for the support, especially in the last 12 months. (After the hacking, losing my dad and more...)

[@narloth]

When you look at these Japanese men in suits and their strategic and self-protective business speeches, you begin to understand why Nintendo legally pursues everyone over intellectual property issues. At these times I can't see the magic that we find in Zelda and Mário, but just a company wanting money and lots of it.

[@MarvelousSpyro]

Look odds are little to none, but WW & TP are still a possibility if they are holding out the switch successor to next year and possibly later.

[@roger3force924]

might as well have those games on the next system

[@jonson856]

I want 2 things from the successor: 1st it increases my portfolio 2nd it can run Zelda in HQ and at least 60fps

but wont the switch 2 be revealed this year?

[@grayfox4819]

There's something you guys should be awared of about the next June's Direct guys: almost every first and second party studio of Nintendo has released a big game in recent times, which means that right now they're working on the next console. The only studio that hasn't released anything in recent times is Retro Studios, which is working on Metroid Prime 4. So either the latter is revealed on the next Direct, or the whole thing will be a waste of time. There's just no hope for something big to be announced at it. Keep this in mind to avoid a disappointment...

[@explodedglue5509]

You should let go. The accident was 10 years ago. Metroid Prime 4 isn't going to happen. Well I say that but you could be right but I just want to joke around ngl

[@grayfox4819]

I wasn't much hyping up Metroi Prime 4, as much as warning the fans to keep their expectations in check for the next Direct. Nintendo has given everything they could for this console, now they've moved all of their sources on the next one. So don't expect anything big from the next Direct (unless for some miracle MP4 does appear again)

[@Ferodra]

It just occured to me that this will be one of the last Switch Directs before the next system comes out. The chances of FINALLY seeing Metroid Prime 4 never have been higher now

[@cliffjumper1984]

Hmmmm. Swan song for the console? Might work. Idk wad prime remake sold.

[@codezero7981]

I wouldn't be surprised if the project has been moved over to Switch 2.

[@mkjjoe]

@@codezero7981 Mario is more fitting as a Switch 2 exclusive, Metroid is more niche and should tap into the established player base (it may still release after launch).

[@Zonaite]

I just want to say. Your last few videos have been really good! Not sure what it is, but your flow feels better, both In terms of pacing and wording. Keep up the good work! Switch 2 reveal in February would be hard to wait for, but the arguments make sense. Also… This Zelda Dual pack, I’m not sure it’s real xD I’d honestly love a deep dive about this specific rumor to see where it stems from. I remember it being mentioned around the previous Zelda anniversary the first time, but I’m not 100%.

[@ItApproaches]

June Direct is no surprise. Though it's been awhlie since they announced it this early.

[@0perativeX]

I hope they bring out Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD on Switch to tide us over until the new console launch

[@newerstillimproved]

also, before the launch of TotK you mentioned that Zelda is typically a launch title for the new consoles, so you can similarly count the new console bringing a new Zelda game.

[@TeeAiDee]

Honestly? I just want Nintendo to allow some DLC's for their older stuff. I've always been behind on consoles due to money issues and I wanna play some games that aren't available anymore. :(

[@ItApproaches]

We will have the reveal of the new system after the June Direct. Between July-September.

[@trtl9106]

the fact that the original switch was announced 9 years ago gave me the heebiejeebies. I'm excited for the new generation of nintendo fanboys!!!

[@andersonsansonowski5644]

The best part of all of this is that nintendo already said there won't be a mention of the switch 2 in the direct which is good 'cause some people might have switch 2 expectations

[@mattimusprimal637]

They could do a reveal trailer in September, then be released 5 months later in January! Similar to the OG Switch.

[@weebsquit347]

Unlikely, but I wonder if we're going to get Metroid Prime 4 news in this direct. Everyone agrees it'll be a cross gen title. But it's not out of the blue to reveal the Switch version first. I'm going to horribly guess the Switch 2's name. Probably Nintendo Connect.

[@Dash120z]

I think at this point Prime 4 has been moved to Switch 2 to harness the power of the new system.

[@darrent5014]

Too similar to kinect that Microsoft had

I hope Nintendo sends out the new system with a revamped version of Ocarina of Time that isn't just a HD version, but a whole new version of it so that it lines up with Tears up the Kingdom. Yes, I want to see The same Ganondorf we know in the first 3d Zelda

[@carbonmonoxide4653]

If the nintendo switch 2 is announced in early 2025, wouldn't it be released at the earliest in early 2026?

[@michaelklaus]

Am I mistaken or is Nintendo consequently speaking of the successor to Nintendo Switch? I mean, we all expect that they do not attach a number to the name but do something similar to the Wii U (spoken "we you", for all who were too young to be around) but I wouldn't be surprised if the system was so different (in a key feature) that it gets a completely different name EDIT: what if they call it the bait, so we have the bait and switch?

[@kingturg1614]

The fiscal year is also not over untill march 31 2025 which sucks since they can literally wait till 2025 to say anything but for the direct im hoping for games i know wont be there

[@izrealtruefelicis3309]

I think as someone who is a bit more mature, I’d really like for Nintendo to offer an in game party chat function. Me and my friends love Mario kart, smash bros. However the discord or app is just janky and stupid. The online experience itself is mid if you don’t have wired internet. The switch was a good 3-4 star console for me but lack of multiplayer just isn’t helping.

[@larcek.giglamesh]

i knew Professor Layton, Steam World, was to be released 2025, so since i don't expect them to release the game for the "old" console, being the Switch, i'm looking forward to seeing it be released for the new console in 2025. it's still far off, and the release date might be changed, but the next console being announced, has been long overdue in my opinion.

[@Farley198033]

I feel like Nintendo annoyances it at the VGAs and releases in March 2025.

[@Dash120z]

it would be cool if it releases in March 3rd 2025 basically on the 8th anniversary of the first Switch

[@Binkus_.]

The successor to the Switch may come out close to when I graduate.

[@FalseJumble]

i know there’s no footage or pictures of the new switch but what are the switches that are on screen

[@novustalks7525]

Switch still feels exciting so this feels a bit too soon but I guess it's never gonna feel soon enough always. Really hoping it's something brand new and exciting but still a hybrid

Reveal is around week 3 of March 2025. Release is in the july to Oct window 2025 unless the 2026 play was correct like I origianlly said

[@NateNintendo2000]

I think people are getting the cross gen read wrong. Prime 4 is not going to be cross gen yet. The real cross gen game will be Pokemon Legends.

[@heyspookyboogie644]

Meh. Zelda and smash are the only Nintendo specific series I’m a fan of these days and that’s not enough reason to buy another switch. Would rather something actually useful like a steam deck 2.

Definitively without us for sure so they can put it into their a*s because we don't want their next console who suffer a lack of more various exclusive games except another borring Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Kirby and Mario game.

[@mkjjoe]

Funny to boil down Switch to the most convenient slice of its library for ridicule, like it didn't have a variety of great games year after year. Maybe you have very short memory and don't understand what a console end of life looks like. If they want the successor to sell obviously they'll make more good games. Just because there are many franchises to hear from doesn't mean it warrants being petty for not hearing it right now.

Then remind me without count the Nintendo Switch Online how much new Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero and Kid Icarus game we got against Mario, Pokemon, Fire Emblem and Kirby on the Nintendo Switch during those 7 years again?

[@mkjjoe]

@@CraniamonRoyalKnight I get you want some franchises to come back but not why you'd diminish the variety we do have, they may revisit their catalogue whenever but while variety is good it's also good that each project receives enough dedication. Besides exclusives you listed we had: Yoshi, Splatoon, Smash, Animal Crossing, Bayonetta, Xenoblade Chronicles, WarioWare, Advance Wars, Pikmin. There were timed exclusives like Shin Megami Tensei and Monster Hunter. We also had Metroid Dread and MP Remastered and we know MP4 is being developed.
