Humor: New Nintendo Direct Tomorrow (2/9), Silksong & Breath of the Wild 2 Already MIA

Let’s Go Ahead and Set Expectations, Shall We?

Another day, another stealth Nintendo Direct announcement. The Big N shared the news via Twitter (below), and my mind already started racing with the possibilities.

40 minutes! Just on Nintendo Switch games coming in H1 2022! That’s a lot of content.

Tune in 2/9 at 2 p.m. PT for a #NintendoDirect livestream featuring roughly 40 minutes of information mainly focused on #NintendoSwitch games launching in the first half of 2022.

Then I remembered how these Directs normally go, and I think we ought to level set on expectations. It’s for the best, really.

So, in lieu of a formal predictions piece or anything special, really, here’s a quick Q&A on what you can expect from tomorrow’s event:

Q: Will the Breath of the Wild Sequel Be There?

No.

Q: Will Hollow Knight: Silksong Be There?

No.

Q: Think Nintendo’s Ready to Talk Metroid Prime 4?

You think I know? (The answer’s no.)

Q: OK. What’s Reasonable to Expect, Then?

Kirby. Pats on the back about Pokémon: Arceus. More N64 games coming to Switch Online. A Splatoon 3 release date, perhaps?

Q: Anything… More Surprising That That?

What am I, a miracle worker? All I have is the crystal ball, I don’t work at Nintendo!

…

(Seriously though, could we get some news on that Mario + Rabbids sequel?)

What Do You Want to See From the 2/9 Nintendo Direct?

Jokes aside, tomorrow’s Direct should have some interesting updates, and potentially a few surprises.
