This has got to be the Direct when they finally show off a lot of Tears of the Kingdom. It's too close for it not to be.
I was expecting that in March or April, but with pre-orders going up last week I assume they'll at least announce SEs for TofK.
@Bean Be on the ready tomorrow.

other than TotK, there's actually a ton on the way...we have: -Kirby: Return to Dreamland deluxe -Bayonetta origins -new Theaterrhythm -have a nice death -octopath 2 -minecraft legends -megaman battle network collection -digimon world -fatal frame -Atelier ryza 3 -fitness boxing -trinity trigger plus there could easily be one or two surprises (i'm thinking Advance wars and/or Pikmin). who knows, maybe they're get the exclusive date for Silksong! lol and i'm sure there's plenty more
I should have specified, I mostly just meant 1st/2nd party. So, Kirby and Bayonetta, and then maybe Pikmin and/or Advance Wars. I wonder if any unannounced games will drop in the first half of this year.

The first big trailer for BotW that showed off a lot of gameplay and stuff dropped in June 2016 during their E3 Direct, 9 months before the game actually released. We're already way behind that. The game comes out in 3 months and all we've gotten are a couple vague trailers that showed almost nothing. I honestly can't believe they've waited this long to show us more. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the game gets pushed back again.

I feel like there's going to be a bit of an uproar if they announce anything related to Metroid that isn't MP4 lol

Allegedly there is a Mario baseball game in the works. Hoping it is better than the last few sport releases
The GC Mario baseball game is one of my favorites on the system.

I don't have any predictions, but I'll post my ongoing wish list:
1) Mario Kart 9 - MK8 came out in 2014! I know they ported it to the Switch, but still, it's time for some new Mario Kart! I'd love to see them go full Smash Kart in the next one, bringing in way more characters from non-Mario games. Not so much for the characters though, I really don't care who I play as, I just like that it would open up tons of new level possibilities. Unfortunately, we won't be getting a new Mario Kart any time soon since they're only halfway through the Booster Course Pass, but it's still my top want. I want a brand new Mario Kart, danggit!
2) 2D Zelda - Not a port or a remake, just a brand new 2D Zelda game without any (stupid) gimmicks.
3) Donkey Kong Country 4 - More like the original trilogy, not Returns/Tropical Freeze. I know this is incredibly unlikely, but it's staying on my list anyway.
4) 2D Mario - something new that breaks free from the tired NSMB formula. A 2D Odyssey with Cappy could be great!
5) 3D Mario - I'd be happy with 3D World 2, Galaxy 3, Odyssey 2, something similar to SM64, or something brand new! I do think the next one will be a sequel though.
6) Yoshi's Woolly World port - Besides TP:HD and WW:HD (which I do think will find their way to the Switch eventually) this is the only Wii U game I care about that hasn't either been ported or gotten a superior sequel. It's one of my favorite games, and I would really love to have access to it on the Switch.
7) Pokemon, Let's Go (Gen 2) - I loved the unique mechanics of the first one, and really hope to see more gens clremade in a similar way.
8) F-Zero - I had dropped this one from my list for a while after playing Fast Racing Neo and being very disappointed. But, it's back on the list now because I'm sure Nintendo would do a much better job.
9) Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons remake - After playing the Link's Awakening remake, I wanted them to remake these two games in the same style. Now, I'm not so sure that style makes as much sense for the Oracle games. They're a bit darker/grittier than LA, and don't have the whole dream aspect. Either way, I'd love to see them remade!
10) 3D Zelda ports/collection - Ideally, we'd get a collection of all the pre-SS 3D Zelda games, so the 3DS versions of OoT and MM, TP:HD, and WW:HD. But, it's Nintendo, so I know that's asking a LOT. It's hard to see them not releasing TP:HD and WW:HD as stand-alones, we all know they'd sell like crazy. So, I don't really know what to expect, I just know I'd like to see these games become available on Switch.
11) Metroid Prime Trilogy - I've wanted to give this series another chance for a while, and would really love to do so on the Switch if at all possible. I really hope we get the whole trilogy at once, not individual releases. Since they released the trilogy as one product on the Wii, I have hope that they'll do the same next time.
12) 2D Metroid - I'd be fine with a brand new one, or a remake. I thoroughly enjoyed Samus Returns and Dread, so I want 2D Metroid games to keep coming!
13) DS/3DS Player - something like the GBA Player, but for DS and 3DS games. Not exactly sure how this would work, maybe some add-on to the dock that could communicate with the Switch wirelessly, so the Switch itself would be the controller and bottom screen, and the add-on would display the top screen on the tv. It's not perfect, but I think it could work, and it would be great to be able to play ALL handheld Nintendo games on a TV.

As cool as this would be, it makes zero sense financially for N to do it.
The Super Game Boy and the GameCube GBA player both came out when releases for those respective handhelds were going strong.
3DS releases were drying up by 2018, and there were only a handful of releases in the first half of 2019. There have been a few novelty releases after that, but nothing from Nintendo themselves. Original DS releases ended in 2014.
Unless Nintendo just bought a big stake in eBay, they have no reason to introduce new hardware to play out of print DS/3DS games.
It's more likely they would just add a few select releases to Switch Online (since Virtual Console seems to be a thing of the past)

True, I didn't feel like elaborating but 1out of 3 doesn't give me much confidence. Soccer I've heard is bare bones, and tennis is just alright in my opinion.

On a side note - obligatory temper expectations on the direct post. Every direct people post crazy expectations, then when the direct hits only 2 or 3 things land from people's wish list and everyone doges about how terrible it was.
It's the winter direct. There's not going to be a ton of surprises, and of the few there are only maybe 1 or 2 might interest you in some degree.

I think bare bones is the template for Nintendo's B-Tier releases nowadays (including sports games), relying on post-launch updates to keep people interested/playing.

Believe it or not, this is my biggest want (or the rumored remake of MP1). I just want to play this again with cleaned up graphics, widescreen support (without paying over $150 for GameCube component wires) and no friggin waggle.
Beyond this, my prediction is we'll get Pikmin 4 soon. I'm thinking of a May or maybe June release. And at some point, they are going to have to start talking about the 2nd half of the year. They need to keep people interested and excited for the future.

so, not things that were on people's lists, but big budget 1st (or 2nd) party games nonetheless

I thought by the time the GBA Player came out, the GBA was mostly over. I just looked it up, the GBA Player came out in June 2003, and the DS in Nov 2004. It's definitely much later this time around, in comparison, but not entirely outside the realm of possibility. But that's just my wish list, and I understand that one is a huge long shot lol

The only expectation I have going into this one is that they need to show us more of TotK. Aside from that, I'll be happy with whatever we get. My list I posted is just my ongoing wish list, games I hope we get. I'm not expecting them to announce any of those games tomorrow (although, I would love for them to of course!)
...THAT said...I've been fairly disappointed in the Directs for a while now. Most of them have 1 maybe 2 things I'm actually interested in, and the rest is mostly 3rd party stuff I don't care about at all. I'm always happy to see Nintendo getting good 3rd party support since that was a huge issue with the Wii U. But, I just feel like the first party releases have in turn slowed down a bit. So if I'm negative after a Direct, it's simply because there wasn't much for me personally, not that I expected specific things and didn't get exactly what I wanted.

My list I posted is just my ongoing wish list, games I hope we get. I'm not expecting them to announce any of those games tomorrow (although, I would love for them to of course!)
...THAT said...I've been fairly disappointed in the Directs for a while now. Most of them have 1 maybe 2 things I'm actually interested in, and the rest is mostly 3rd party stuff I don't care about at all. I'm always happy to see Nintendo getting good 3rd party support since that was a huge issue with the Wii U. But, I just feel like the first party releases have in turn slowed down a bit. So if I'm negative after a Direct, it's simply because there wasn't much for me personally, not that I expected specific things and didn't get exactly what I wanted.

I'm with you. The directs have been super disappointing for me lately. Most of the 3rd party stuff hasn't been interesting to me. Lots of farming simulators and anime style games. I'm obviously super excited for Zelda TotK. Give me Metroid, Pikmin, and Mario and I'll be happy. I'm a simple man.

I just looked it up, the GBA Player came out in June 2003, and the DS in Nov 2004. It's definitely much later this time around, in comparison, but not entirely outside the realm of possibility. But that's just my wish list, and I understand that one is a huge long shot lol
Don't forget the GBA SP also came out in early 2003. A lot of the GBA'S most popular games were released in 2003 or later. Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire and the Gen 1 remakes, Golden Sun 2, Zelda Minish Cap, Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, Metroid Zero Mission, and more.

Has that been in the works, that you know of?
