What's the unrealistic wishlist looking so far for the next Nintendo Direct ?

The next 3D Mario ? Next Monolith Soft Project ?
Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War remake ? Another new IP exclusively centered around mice mode ? F-Zero new game ?

C'mon let's try ourselves some wild guesses !

Nah honestly, I wouldn't expect more than a few 3rd party games showing for the last portion of the year, Kirby Planet Robobot "remakster", more on Tomodachi and Rhythm Heaven, first actual showing of Kirby Air Riders and a surprise or two ... Maybe. ?

Even if we get a look at the next 3D Mario soon, I really don't see it making it out this year even during the holiday season. It's not very common for Nintendo to release two 3D platformers in a year anymore, especially not 5 months or less apart. 

3D Mario is probably coming out Q2-Q4 2026, though it could be as late as Q4 2027.

My boldest prediction is another new IP/standalone game.

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
