Nintendo Direct focusing on games ‘launching this year’

Midnight tonight! AEST.

Nintendo is holding a ‘roughly’ 40 minute long Direct tonight (or technically morning), with a focus on video games releasing this year.

We’ll also get another look at everyone’s most anticipated game… Pikmin 4.

We’ve just had heavy duty showcase season, so this direct could be the pretty bow that ties it all together. We’ve got a wishlist, though a lot of it may well be the stuff of Kirby’s Dreamland.

What we’d like to see (in no particular order):

  • A new Legend of Zelda HD/2D top-down.

  • Kid Icarus: Uprising Remastered

  • Mario Galaxy 2 (or the next major Mario title)

  • Tears of the Kingdom DLC

  • Metroid 4 (never going to happen)

  • The Nintendo Switch 2. (Hopefully called the Super Nintendo Switch!)

What we think we’ll see:

  • DLC for Mario Kart 8.

  • DLC for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope.

  • New games added to Nintendo’s online service.

  • Pikmin 4 Demo
