Yoshi's Woolly World would be nice so I can unplug the Wii U.

Also, perhaps Tomb Raider Legend / Anniversary / Underworld collection announced for release Feb 14 2026?

Call me crazy…but 3D Mario is coming sooner than we expect. (Nintendo’s been pushing a strategy recently of assigning EDPs to multiple projects, not solely one.) Mario movie will also be there, alongside a Metroid Prime 4 release date (opener?).

Also…60min. That’s very nice to see!

If I'm not mistaken,  the team that worked on Odyssey was different than the 3D World team? If so,  they haven't done much since Bowsers fury.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars 2 with Mario 64, Mario 64 DS, Mario Sunshine, Mario Galaxy, and Mario Galaxy 2 would be great.

A Friday broadcast hmm... It looks they are confident lol



 

 

We reap what we sow

60 minutes is quite a lot. Even the E3 Directs used to be like 40 minutes tops.

Release date for Metroid Prime 4 + shadow drop Prime 2 and 3 remasters/HD ports, something something Super Mario 40th anniversary, new Monolith Soft. game, a Golden Sun Collection alla Advance Wars, new trailer for Rhythm Heaven Groove, Mother 3 finally getting a western release, Splatoon Raiders trailer, Astral Chain 2 announced, a bunch of Switch 1 free updates, NDS games and the second screen thingy...

... I'm getting too carried away, am I? Well, I can't help myself. I'm excited ^^

I remember during the Switch 2 Direct, someone noticed that there was a brief second where Wooly World was shown even though it wasn't even on the Switch. Fingers crossed for that. My daughter just 100% Crafted World, so I know she would love another Yoshi game.



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

Hope we see the new 3D Mario game (I believe we will), and I think we will see a New Super Mario Bros collection for Mario's 40th (makes sense to do that in tandem with the movie).

There also have been heavy rumours on some decent 3rd party titles but would rather hear more about exclusives. I think Nintendo has been good at keeping most of their info sealed recently as not many saw the announcement of DK coming, so that makes me hopeful we will get a few surprises which I am excited for. As I said I'm really looking forward to the new Mario game, particularly after their Bowser Fury experiment. Some have hinted at Animal Crossing, but I do think we will get another big title announcement for 2026 possibly a new IP.

High expectations so hopefully for my sanity they will deliver!



They have to give a release date for Prime 4 at this point. If not, then they have to announce the game's delay. As much as I want to see Primes 2 and 3 brought into HD, I doubt they're coming except to the online service.

In terms of the Nintendo games, I'd like to see Switch 2 versions of the Xenoblade games to get them to 1440P and 60 FPS like the Zelda games. I'd love to see a new Xenoblade game to see what Monoliftsoft can do with the new hardware since they were wizards on the Wii, Wii U, and Switch. It seems too early for the next 3D Zelda, but maybe Mario is possible if Bananza didn't take up all of that team's time.

With 3rd parties, I'm hoping to see all the Resident Evil games since 2017 get ported, as well as all of the HD Final Fantasy games. Marvel's Midnight Suns is another port I want. I'd be interested to see if this is when Call of Duty returns to Nintendo and whether the rumors of Xbox games coming are true.
