I just realized there will be 3DS stuff too. Ugh.

Is it that time of the year already ?

I wouldn't expect a Prime Trilogy announcement until they're ready to reveal Metroid Prime 4.

Prime Trilogy seems more like an E3 announcement than a March announcement.

Wait what are the current rumors/things that might be revealed at this direct

Does Pokemon or Smash have a realistic chance of being shown, or just release dates and more info on upcoming releases?

Pokémon and Smash are E3 level

Animal Crossing, on the other hand, makes more sense to present it in a Direct than in an E3

Don't know if someone has already posted this, I'm not reading 42 pages, but apparently there will be at least one M-rated game in this direct.

I wouldn't understand a re-release of Wonderful 101. That game bombed and it wasn't because of the install base of the Wii U. The control scheme made the game unenjoyable for most and nearly unplayable for some.

Eh, maybe, but if it was one of their only games for the holiday they may save it for E3.

Until I see developers tweet this not going to get my hopes up.

Seriously, I will be surprised if Nintendo show off Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3 until E3 at the very earliest.

Reckon we will get detail on confirmed games coming in the next few months plus some third party reveals like Diablo 3 or Crash Trilogy.

I'm one of the biggest MP fans, it is my favorite gaming trilogy and MP1 is probably the only thing that could come close to dethroning OoT as my favorite game ever made.

That said, I don't really care about them porting Metroid Prime Trilogy. Can't say I'm exactly jazzed to buy those games for a 3rd time (and without wiimote controls this time, at least that was a nice new addition on first trilogy release). For anyone who never played them before, awesome opportunity to play some of GOAT. Though, to my knowledge no one ever presented anything that credible about it being a thing other than what just sounded like forum hopes and dreams. Just give me MP4 earlier than anticipated nintendo, or at minimum some footage to go alongside a trilogy announcement.

Its capcom, do you expect anything else from them? Although i totally get that they where not 100% on board with the switch from the getgo and soon change that after launch. But still its the 1st MH game in a long long time that is japan only, and it deserved to be localized, mainly because its already 70ish% done(XX is an expansion of Generations aka X in japan). So chop chop capcom, im still willing to buy it if its released this year. August/september 2018 would be the perfect time frame, give MHworld time to breathe and once they are done voila MHXX for switch and 3ds for europe and america.
If we're being honest, Capcom has more important things to do than localize XX for the Switch.

please god don't let that 3DS Link's Awakening rumor be true. I paid full price for Samus Returns and got a decent ways into the game, but it's been collecting dust for months just because I'm tired of playing on that platform
