Forgotten Land was such a surprise, game is the most ambitious Kirby yet and the missions add a ton of replay value.

[@threeswordssama]

I bought that for my kids and wound up playing a ton of co-op with them. Such a fun game.

[@The80Kat]

Better be windwaker remaster there

[@tbx76]

Kid Icarus Uprising needs a second chance. It's an amazing experience that would shine with updated visuals and controls.

[@tbx76]

@m.m.m.6151 Why would Nintendo sink a ton of money into a NEW KIU if the first one sold mediocre at best? At least the original being remade would save them on production in order to get a sequel green lit. I'd love a sequel too, but let's think pragmatically about how the company would approach the KI franchise at this point.

[@ovids_caeneus]

I agree!! kid icarus on the 3ds felt so revolutionary to child me lol, I miss it

[@threeswordssama]

ooh man a Fire Emblem announcement in June would make me very happy.

[@BakedApple989]

Gawd, I'd kill for Kid Icarus Uprising on Switch...

[@thegreatwaugh]

Need more Zelda, Fire Emblem, and Metroid goodness on Switch. Remakes welcome!

[@RyansChannel0203]

It'd be so stupid if they didn't do an HD remaster of Prime 2 and 3 at this point. Otherwise what was even the point of doing it with Prime 1?

[@jasonmg99]

I think we need a 2d Zelda compilation and a 3d Zelda compilation and Metroid prime 4. Those would be big heavy hitters yet to come for the switch. Kid Icarus uprising remaster would be a nice bonus too

[@uselessprofessional6824]

I think the big remakes are going to actually release on Switch 2, if the successor is infact an iteration of the switch I think they will remake way more bc one of the huge things about the switch is how it’s the biggest Nintendo library ever, Smash Ultimate was about every single old character being on there, Mario Kart 8 dlc has been like 90% old tracks, NSO expansion is entirely about old games added to the switch easily, and there have been so many more huge remakes and remasters and everything, all the Pikmin games, all the Zelda games etc

[@vgnvideogameninja2930]

They didn't say there'll be a BIG Nintendo Direct in June, only that there will be one (as per usual).

[@ItApproaches]

June Directs are big ones....

[@vgnvideogameninja2930]

[@One-ct3xe]

Luigis Mansion 2 is going to be so sweet! I hope that we'll see something with gameplay on MP4. I'd put money down on Metroid Zero Mission being announced for NSO for the direct and we might get a Shadow Drop of Metroid Prime 2 and 3 but without the same treatment as the remaster.

[@JG9Youtube]

Wtf. How many remakes and remasters?

[@robertbarker5802]

That they don't just port EVERYTHING to the Switch is just leaving money on the table.

[@TheLiquidLove]

OJ I love all of your predictions for games we can see at the June Direct. I hope many of them are true! The Switch games I would say that we can possibly see announced in the Direct are a StarFox game, a Rhythm Heaven game, a 2D Zelda remake, and some other 3DS games like Ever Oasis and Pushmo.

[@retropatronum]

A few directs ago, they teased a new Professor Layton game, so I would love to see an update with that!

[@nasis.]

"Nintendo wants to reach that goal of surpassing the PS2". Classic example of how somebody creates a narrative in his head and projects it as a fact to himself and to others 😂😂. Nintendo couldn't care less if they surpass the PS2 or not, they only compare themselves with themselves, this is a known fact for decades and confirmed by Kit and Krysta who worked there for years on their channel just yesterday. But hey, you do you and create your own reality if it makes you happy lol

[@JCSA79V]

Yeah lol I think it's the same on Sony's side. They don't really care if Nintendo breaks past their decade plus record. Yeah I know people will bring up the Jim Ryan quote, but keep in mind he was speaking off the cuff in a podcast and probably rounded up from somewhere around 157 million. He's an old man, ready for retirement, I can bet he literally doesn't care about the Switch outselling PS2 like all the fanboys do. More important things he has to think about.

[@__BlacklotuS__]

sony sucks hop off the D

[@bethanyh1637]

@@JCSA79V Sony definitely cares. They came back at the end of the PS3 generation and updated their PS2 numbers after the Nintendo DS beat their previous numbers... and now they've done it again with the Switch set to beat them soon.

[@JCSA79V]

@bethanyh1637 They updated their PS2 figures at the end of the PS3 generation because they were still producing and selling them at that time. There's a year gap between when they last updated them officially and when they ceased production also, so it's possible that they gained another million or two past 155.

[@The_Ashen_Demon]

Your a ploom ploom

[@griffmendez]

I think the first two years of Switch 2 are going to see 3DS/Wii U/Wii/GameCube remakes/remasters released on "The Switch Family," with Switch 2 running 60fps and Switch/OLED/Literally running 30fps.

[@theshadowdirector]

I think it's perfectly possible for a Metroid Prime double pack is possible if they're only basic remasters.

[@RockyD12]

Kid icarus seems fun so i hope that comes

[@The_Ashen_Demon]

I want Fire Emblem Awakening on the Nintendo Switch

[@Mintcar923]

If they announce a new FE for the next console it will prolly kill my whole plan to just save money & wait

[@davidbonhote2660]

PlayerEssence, do you think that perhaps when Nintendo Direct does have its event in June, if they'll possibly have an announcement of some kind regarding to "Visions Of Mana"? Bc I'd be REALLY looking forward to adding that game to my Switch library as with Cat Quest 3 in August!

[@puppy14]

Good lord how many remakes or remasters do we need? Give me a brand new 2d Zelda, would be so dope.

[@johnplatz3503]

I'm hoping to see Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Switch in June or July for this year.

[@darkdragonmedeus705]

A new Mario & Sonic game seems likely. I heard something about a new "Warriors" title game (Which Xenoblade Warriors would be awesome, but the Imprisoning War seems most likely). I really hope for a Geneology of the Holy War remake, what I'd like to see on standard Switch before the next gen console more than anything. Metroid Prime 4, while it could happen, I sort of pretty much expect them to wait for next gen and that it would likely be a cross platform thing. But Metroid Prime 2+3 package in the style of Pikmin 1+2 also sounds likely. There's a new Wii U port rumored that is a cult classic (Though I'd also like to see Xenoblade Chronicles X ported over with a DLC expansion similar to Torna the Golden Country or Future Connected). Don't think Gamecube would be added to expansion anytime soon or at best it could be on next gen. But more 3DS and Wii U ports all do sound like great ideas. As well as more remakes of older titles from NES, SNES, GB/GBC eras.

[@wolfan20]

My dream games would be a Chrono Trigger remake either HD2D or 3D like trials of mana, a total 3D remake of Zeldaminish cap in a windwaker style, ports of planet robobot and kid icarus would be amazing.

[@mr.sushi2221]

Where tf are the two upcoming dragon quest games. It’s been like 3 years

[@SoundScape419]

All the 3ds games you brought up as possible surprises got me super excited to imagine so thanks for that 😅 I still hope for Xenoblade Chronicles X but we are running out of time for this gen 😬

[@seb3082]

[@ElComanche]

Gimme them big rereleases and HD remakes! I’m cool with that!

[@Hungry_Gengar13]

I would be ok if we didn't see any Prime 4 news, but give us Prime 2 and maybe 3 remastered! Also we need Kirby Superstar Ultra brought to switch, and a remastered version of Kirby Air ride

[@theshadowdirector]

I still don't see GameCube NSO coming with all the remasters and remakes they're mining from that library.

[@LordelX]

They could add Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, Turbografx-16, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Sega Saturn or Sega Dreamcast to the Switch online expansion pack very easily. Gamecube will never be on NSO. That library is too amazing, people will still pay top dollar for those games.

[@Yusei255]

They will never add all those.

[@phoenicia1313]

thanks for the run down. I was just thinking of getting back into Nintendo. You're very articulate

[@1jidion]

samus returns in the dread engine, yes plz

[@kennethjames763]

Hey, if it's not just Nintendo Switch games that they're going to reveal, maybe they'll reveal more information about that Legend of Zelda movie, or that Mario movie sequel. Or they could reveal an expansion of Super Nintendo World, or Zelda and Pokémon themed areas in other Universal theme parks. Or perhaps they might even set an opening date for the Nintendo Museum. I don't know, could they show us a preview for a television series that takes place after "The Super Mario Bros. Movie? I would like that. Heck, I could even go for a preview of Mario being set to make his debut in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as an all-new giant character balloon. He would definitely be sponsored by Nintendo and most likely be the lead balloon. One thing's for certain, they're not going to reveal the next Nintendo console anytime soon.

I want to see Prime 4 as much as any Metroid fan, but Prime 4 wont be in the Direct. At best we might have Tanabe show up and give an update, saying "Hey it's been quite a while since I last spoke to you all about Metroid Prime 4. Well I can't show it to you today, but I do want to say it's going to be shown by the end of the year. But in the mean time, to help with the wait, take a look at this." And then we see Prime 2 remastered.

[@williamhardee8863]

I'm looking forward to this Nintendo direct in mid June I'm excited. I'm hoping that we will finally get the release date for wind waker HD and twilight princess HD as a duo pack we've been waiting for these games to come for a long time. So please Nintendo give us these games this year hopefully this upcoming direct will give us good news for these games. Then next year hopefully we'll get Ocarina of time and majoras mask for the switch as well. Now for the switch 2 I might get it all depends on how much storage and battery life of course that's me.
