Hollow Knight: Silksong finally gets a release date
After being announced over two years ago,Hollow Knight: Silksong SHOULDÂget a release date here. Many Nintendo Direct Indie Showcases have come and gone without any kind of news, so now is the time. The game is arguably too big for an Indie Showcase and would be right at home smack bang in the middle of a Nintendo Direct proper.
There’s no Zelda or Pokemon news
This one’s a bit of a bummer, kind of. Both of these franchises celebrate huge anniversaries this year, withZeldaturning 35 andPokemonturning 25. Although a standalone Nintendo Direct is huge and there will likely be millions of eyes on the event, I can’t help but feel Nintendo and The Pokemon Company will have individual presentations planned for the two franchises and the deluge of games they are going to (hopefully) announce. Dropping TheBreath of the WildSequel’s release date in here, however, would set the gaming world on fire.
There’s a new F-Zero game (or maybe Mario Kart 9)
This may be more in hope than expectation but it’s time for a newF-Zero. People atNintendo and around the gaming communitywant it to come back and now is the time. It’s been a minute since Nintendo released a brand new racing game andF-Zerois the perfect candidate. Failing that, I could see this as an opportunity to announceMario Kart 9for an April release date.
Nintendo revives another dormant franchise
Nintendo has a back catalogue that goes unrivalled. Unfortunately, alongside the ongoing excellent releases, some of Nintendo’s best franchises have been lost to time.F-Zerois obviously one, however, I think with the Switch’s success, Nintendo could revive another franchise. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see a newNintendogsgame.Advance Warsis another one I’d love to see come back, although, I think aKid Icarusgame would be right at home on the hybrid console.
Persona 5 Announced for Switch
Okay, this one is another one that’s a little out of left field but hear me out. Atlus often send surveys out, asking which games players want to see ports of, and you can almost guarantee a Switch port ofPersona 5is near the top of that list. Couple that with the support on social media, the imminent release ofPersona 5 Strikersand the fact that Joker is inSmashand you have a recipe for success.
There you have it, our five Nintendo Direct predictions for tomorrow’s showcase. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
