Nintendo Direct Predictions

 A New Animal Crossing Game

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen or heard anything about an Animal Crossing game aside from Pocket Camp. The series is very much due for a new game, and of course, the Switch would be the perfect place for a new entry. The series has fans of both the portable and home console versions. The inevitable Switch version will finally marry the two together, ushering a golden age for mega fans of the series. However, it also wouldn’t shock us if this was held for an E3 reveal.

Diablo 3 for the Switch Reveal

Despite some reports, Diablo 3 for the Switch right now is still just a rumor. If the reports are correct, though, and it is indeed in development, the cat has certainly been let out of the bag. At this point, Nintendo might as well just go ahead and reveal it via Nintendo Direct. If and when this happens, hopefully, the game will be complete with both the Reaper of Souls expansion and the Rise of the Necromancer DLC pack

A New Smash Game or Port of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Here’s your obligatory Super Smash Bros. entry. It could be a brand new game or a port. Either way, we predict it has about a 50/50 shot of showing up tomorrow as the closer mega reveal.

More Free Super Mario Odyssey DLC

Luigi’s Balloon World just released not so long ago, so Nintendo might be ready to start showing off what fans can expect next for Super Mario Odyssey. It wouldn’t be surprising if it winds up on a similar DLC schedule to what we saw with ARMS. Semi-frequent free updates sprinkled throughout the year.

Dragon Quest 11 Port

Dragon Quest 11 is finally coming to the west on consoles later this year, however, a Switch port has only been confirmed for Japan. Considering the series is also quite popular here in the USA and Europe, it wouldn’t shock us if it showed up at the Nintendo Direct tomorrow.

Fire Emblem for the Switch Shows Up

Very little is known about the first proper Fire Emblem game for the Nintendo Switch. It’s probably more likely that it would be part of the anchor of an E3 highlight reel later this year; however, it wouldn’t be that outrageous if it was instead shown off tomorrow during the Nintendo Direct to make room for other, bigger reveals during E3.

Dark Souls Remastered Info

We’re not sure who’s going to take the lead on teasing out info on Dark Souls Remastered considering it’s a multi-platform release. If there is anything Switch-exclusive in the pipeline though, it could make another return to the Nintendo Direct tomorrow.

Finally, on page 3 we break down the most unlikely of scenarios that would blow us away if they actually showed up tomorrow.
