First half of 2022 releases, huh? So definitely not the Breath of the Wild sequel. Kirby and Project Triangle Strategy are getting time for sure. Maybe some more Online announcements? Nothing is really jumping out at me, but that's when I love being surprised by some sort of insane Nintendo thing.

The rumor mill has been talking about a new Fire Emblem and a new Monolithsoft game, that and the perennial insistence that Metroid Prime Trilogy remakes are a thing that will happen.

I think it's time for a new Fire Emblem. There's probably kind of a lot of Kirby stuff because it's the 30th Kirbversary, I expect Aonuma will show up to show a clip of Breath of the Wild 2 with the promise they'll show a lot in June/e3 times. I guess perhaps more Splatoon 3 stuff?
Maaaaaybe a teaser for the Mario movie and announcement that Chris Pratt died on the way back to his home planet.
Some ports of third party games where it's like "it technically runs on the Switch", maybe some Cloud games?

Don't expect:
-Metroid Prime 4 update beyond 'we're working hard, please look forward to it'
-Breath of the Wild 2 release date
-Any Mother/Earthbound stuff
Mmmmmmaybe?:
-Metroid Prime Trilogy Switch Port, I'm only paying lip service to this since it's been rumored to be coming for so dang long and it feels like an easy win, but we still haven't seen it!
-N64 Goemon games on NSO! Come on! This is the one thing that would get me to sub to that premium service immediately.
-The resurrection of AlphaDream in some capacity for a new Mario & Luigi game (I just want it OK?)
Could happen:
-More NSO updates, hopefully some new NES/SNES games since it's been a bit and there are still some conspicuous absences of even first party stuff (looking at you Mario RPG)
-Splatoon 3 release date
-Maybe a new Mario Kart? Or Super Smash Kart?
-The Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters coming to Switch. There's a good chance they're coming to consoles eventually, but with the release of FF6-PR imminent (we assume???) then now could be a good time to announce that.

Yeah, when they released that AR RC car Mario Kart game a while back I took that as a signal they have no intention to release Mario Kart 9 on the Switch as long as 8 Deluxe is still selling gangbusters.

A retailer apparently let it slip a Batman Arkham collection is coming to the Switch. It would be cool if it was Asylum, City, and Origins, but it's probably the first two and and a code to play Arkham Knight via the cloud.
Wouldn't be surprised if there's a new Animal Crossing spinoff game in the works given how huge New Horizons is (It recently dethroned Super Mario Bros. as the best-selling game in Japan!), but I know it's probably too soon for that.
Maybe they could at least finally announce a reprint for the Welcome Amiibo cards. Only ones that haven't seen a reprint at this point and they cover over four dozen villagers who are in New Horizons.

I’m going to sit here and be convinced that a Fire Emblem Awakening remaster is on the way right up until it happens.
Not expecting it, but am throwing that energy out into the universe
More expectant on Prime Trilogy and FF Pixel Remasters being announced, but not holding any hope for that

I also just remembered that Chrono Cross remaster rumor floating about a couple a months ago. People thought it might surface at the Game Awards or a State of Play, but those both came and went without anything...
Super Mario from famous games like Super Mario World and Mario Teaches Typing will marry you, the viewer at the end of the presentation.
You cannot opt out of marrying Super Mario. Watching the direct is a legally binding marriage contract.
If you are already married, Super Mario will have you arrested for bigamy.

This is legit and I think is connected to a confirmed leak from this direct, they're really going all in on this:
"Super Mario Time" is what Super Mario calls the daily ritual in wich all of his spouses must stand at attention and answer questions about all of his power ups to confirm their devotion.
It's just a fun activity where we all show off how well we know our husband king, and also if you get one wrong you have to stand in the box for 8 hours.

Confirmed leak indeed.
Are you ready for Splatoon 3 @WildcatJF?
I can see a Mario Kart this gen if only because they need a new vehicle to sell DLCs now that Smash is done. A bit too soon, maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if Super Smash Kart becomes a thing.

I just got a mail from Nintendo UK and that a February Fest sale is starting Thursday at midnight (no mention of of any particular title). Since I can't remember the last time Nintendo spammed me, I'd wager this is related to tomorrow's Direct.
My Not Zero Percent Prediction is a North American release of Super Robot Wars 30.
Its on Steam, it could happen
