We're finally getting a new Nintendo Direct after half a year...! It's about time. According to the announcement, it will focus on upcoming Nintendo Switch games, so no 3DS this time around.
What to expect? Well, if we were to believe "king zell", the new popular leaker on Resetera, who predicted the date for the Direct (see here), we can look forward to at least one interesting title. He posted a listed of Switch games last Friday that we can expect in 2019 (here), including:
- Pikmin 3 port
- Super Mario Maker 2
- New 2D Zelda
- Metroid Prime Trilogy port
Of those, the latter will "probably" be at the Nintendo Direct. This seems somewhat weird, because if they had a Metroid Prime Trilogy HD ready to be announced for Switch, they could have done so earlier this year, when they gave the development update for Metroid Prime 4. But you never know with Nintendo and this is a title that I'm expecting sooner or later for the Nintendo Switch anyway.
But likewise I'm expecting Skyward Sword HD. If Aonuma goes on stage and teases an audience with that title, it should be nearing completion. And next to Skyward Sword HD, a new 2D Zelda (developed by Grezzo) also has been on the list of possible games for 2019, where something with a coop mode would be nice.
As long as we're getting some Zelda game for Switch this year, I will be excited, because it could lead to the Nintendo Switch Special Edition hardware that I've wanted from the start.
As to the rest, if there really is going to be a Mario Maker for Switch, it will be interesting to see, how they handle the controls.
As for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I doubt that we'll get any new information, except for maybe some new amiibo announcements. Joker is probably still in the middle of development and it will probably take some time for them to show him ingame and to reveal the second Challenger Pack. Maybe in a dedicated Smash Direct in Spring.
