I can do that for you.

Nintendo has recently announced games on very short notice, so we could easily see something new in this half. Expecting something Zelda given the anniversary. No Metroid is a safe bet though.

we might be due for a Kirby announcement. I remember I was playing the last one when I had jury duty and that was a couple years ago at this point.

I have a feeling theres something Mario coming too, as one last anniversary thing. a sports game or a party perhaps.

maybe Warioware comes back? Theres a bunch of b/c tier series that could reasonably fit into an early summer slot.

Cmon Switch port of WW HD and TP HD. Not expecting any real Pokemon news because they always save those for their own Pokemon specific thing I think. Seeing a new Kirby would be nice. Something entirely new would be cool too. Dont really care about the Smash news and hopefully it wont take up nearly all of the time

The only series Nintendo could do that where the character won't be completely obvious would be Pokemon.

Actually maybe Animal Crossing too if they want to cash in on the success of New Horizons...

I doubt they'll go with another Fire Emblem character and if they do it will be due to a new game being announced in which case it'll just be the protagonist.

Expecting the character reveal trailer for Smash and then Sakurai will do his detailed presentation later like always.

Expecting Pokemon news a week or so after the direct as always, which this time will be around its birthday, so even more reason.

I'd be surprised if BotW2 was out in the first half of 2021, but I'm sure the plan was to get it out this year, so it's on COVID if they can't reach that. Expecting a port of something Zelda in the first half.

Something Mario Sport would be nice imo, we only have what, Tennis on the Switch?

Would Legend of Zelda be completely obvious?

BotW Zelda, Impa, a Champion, Skull Kid, etc?

Star Allies came out in spring 2018, so yeah, I've been thinking for almost a year now that we're due for a new Kirby game. I know Sakurai's been busy with Smash but... he doesn't do much with the Kirby series anymore other than just kinda give the okay to stuff and voice Dedede, right?

Yeah I'd be stunned if we don't get at least an update on BotW2.

We've also had multiple leaks on The Great Ace Attorney, so I expect to see that come up, and Tales from the Borderlands was recently leaked as well, so we'll probably see that too.

Otherwise, I look forward to whatever surprise drops we get.

Well dang when was the last non-mini non-third party showcase Nintendo Direct? Like September 2019 or something? This must be pretty substantial then, surely. I think the only things we know for Q1/2 2021 are Monster Hunter Rise and Pokemon Snap.

Maybe they'll reveal some super secret reason for them killing games on March 31st. Fingers crossed for N64/GB/GBA/GC games on Switch Online (lol not happening).

I went through the last 2 years of direct in I think our last speculation thread...

--- 2019 (119m Nintendo, 41m special, total 160m)
02-13-2019: Nintendo Direct (37m)
02-27-2019: Pokemon Direct (7m)
05-15-2019: Super Mario Maker 2 Direct (17m)
06-05-2019: Pokemon Direct (17m)
06-11-2019: Nintendo E3 Direct (43m)
09-04-2019: Nintendo Direct (39m)
--- 2020 (84 Nintendo, 97 special, total 181m)
01-09-2020: Pokemon Direct (21m)
02-20-2020: Animal Crossing Direct (28m)
03-26-2020: Nintendo Direct mini (29m)
07-20-2020: Nintendo Direct mini, Partner Showcase (8m)
08-26-2020: Nintendo Direct mini, Partner Showcase 2 (12m)
09-03-2020: Super Mario 35th Direct (16m)
09-17-2020: Nintendo Direct mini, Partner Showcase 3 (16m)
09-17-2020: Monster Hunter Direct (16m)
10-28-2020: Nintendo Direct, Partner Showcase 4 (19m)
12-18-2020: Super Nintendo World Direct (16m)

so yeah September 2019, though at least the first Direct Mini wasn't too far off from the average standard Direct length
