GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Kosheh]

So, Nintendo Direct tomorrow, 2pm PT/5pm ET. Ensue obligatory predictions! (It's already confirmed that there won't be NX or mobile stuff revealed tomorrow.) 

For me, I'm dying for some Zelda U content; I've been wrong on this the past few Directs, but I'm gonna keep betting on this horse, even though at this point Nintendo will probably wait until E3 for this and properly show it off (i.e. not teaser trailers), announcing it as a duel release for the WiiU and newly unveiled NX.

They've confirmed that the NX and their mobile projects won't be covered tomorrow...and Zelda U releases in the fall. This direct's all about their summer releases.

That said, I think they're probably going to announce that Starfox Zero's been pushed back to June lmao, some Fire Emblem DLC, and details on the Cloud/Corrin/Bayonetta amiibo. Maybe, MAYBE they'll reveal details on a release date for Series 4 of the amiibo cards (unlikely; they'll probably talk about March 18th being the launch of Series 3 AC figures and cards) and maybe talk about the release of the "Summer Isabelle" amiibo figure. And MAYBE a Detective Pikachu announcement and release date (but don't expect Danny Devito to voice him)
Also probably some info on Dragon Quest VII and VIII.

I guess a gamer can dream; here's my wishlist of things that definitely won't happen:

- Additional Splatoon content somehow added this summer; "actual" DLC, Octoling and Callie/Marie amiibo confirmed
- ANOTHER Mario Maker item bundle and even more little Marios to unlock
- For the 20th anniversary and to tide gamers over until the holidays, Pokemon Stadium added to the Wii U eShop. Using your Nintendo Account it's able to pull Pokemon from PokeBank for minigames and battling.
- Skinship is added back into Fire Emblem Fates....as part of DLC Map Pack 1
- Metroid Federation Force!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Two mystery games announced.
- Reggie and Bill confirm despite additional delays, that yes indeed, Wolf O'Donnell is the best Star Fox character
