Nintendo Direct Predictions for March 8: Fat Chance, Probably Not
Super Unlikely Nintendo Direct Predictions: Info on Pokemon Switch
Pokemon for the Switch is arguably the most anticipated game of 2018. It’s almost guaranteed that when Nintendo decides to finally show what the game will be like, it would be through a dedicated Pokemon Direct, or the centerpiece of a major E3 Nintendo Direct and probably not tomorrow. The game does exist though, and some alleged information has leaked out, so it might be possible, but very, very unlikely.
Super Unlikely Nintendo Direct Predictions: Super Mario Maker Port
Despite the fact that it would be a perfect fit for the Switch and that the Wii U version was criminally under-appreciated because of its poor sales, we haven’t heard anything about Super Mario Maker getting a port to the Switch. It hasn’t turned up in any rumor mills and Nintendo hasn’t given fans an inkling of hope for it. Still, it makes too much sense to completely throw out, so we’ll still hold out hope.
Super Unlikely Nintendo Direct Predictions: Info on Metroid Prime 4
Like Pokemon, Metroid Prime 4 seems like too big of a fish to show up in a random direct that was announced abruptly. It would either command its own Direct or be showcased during E3. However, for all the same reasons as Pokemon Switch, it is at least confirmed to definitely be in existence at least. The one thing that makes Metroid Prime slightly more likely than Pokemon Switch is that there have been rumors about it being developed by Bandai Namco, and Nintendo might want to get out ahead of that and address it before E3 so that news, if true, doesn’t overshadow the game itself.
