Some of us have been on the "they might not really start talking about BotW2 when they're actively hyping up SS HD" train for a while now.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it, but I also wouldn't be surprised to not.
...I'm thinking 2022 now...but they'll announce a 4k(or maybe 60fps) patch for BOTW1, to hit on the Pro's release day.
Get people hyped to play a higher quality version of the first game before the sequel hits.
At this point, i'd rather have a BotW 2 showcase tomorrow than a Pro announcement, simply that this annoying spleen of yelling "BOTW 2 2022" comes up anytime someone breaths ends.
But the Switch Pro is obviously a lock because...Nintendo said it wouldn't be at E3
(I still think it's coming at some point this year and think tomorrow is possible for sure. This place is just weird)
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I assumed you were making the point that because of BOTW 2's lack of mention / focus it wouldn't have any presence. Nice to see we're in the same boat!
ngl, the fud at every announcement makes me want stuff not to be shown just out of spite sometimes
In order from most to least likely:
- Pokemon Legends
- Splatoon 3
- 2D Metroid
- BOTW2
- Donkey Kong
- Kirby
- Xenoblade
- Fire Emblem
- WW/TP HD
- Pikmin 4
- Bayonetta 3
- 2D Mario
- Metroid Prime Trilogy
- Metroid Prime 4
- Super Mario Odyssey 2
No Man's Sky is also on PC. I wouldn't read too much into that.
Thanks for the heads up! Looks like this week was the week after all for some excitement!
My predictions for Nintendo's E3
-that new 2D metroid
-BOTW2
-Animal Crossing update (yes seriously)
-SMT V trailer
-no bayo 3
-Wario something (ware? land? we'll see)
third party stuff:
-Mass effect remasters
-Tony Hawk (exclusive content maybe? think link on a skateboard, hyrule skate park, something like that)
-No man's sky

I feel bad for Team Tuesday(including me). Now it looks like we are eating towards the later half of the week, with the Pro probably tommorow
Nintnedo refused because it would make their game support look bad.
Nintendo seems to have reduced marketing cycles across the board, and Odyssey 2 is too big to be anything other than a holiday title. This E3 is also likely to be packed, so they don't need to tease it yet. The earliest I expect to see it would be September for a holiday 2022 release, but even then I am doubtful.
Naw. We're not getting a 15 minute segment on Zelda anniversary. The most it'll be will be 8 minutes.

Hey man do what's best for you. Happy to have you swing back by but obviously do whatever is the best for your mental health and whatnot.
I'm recording for an RPGFan "E3 predictions" podcast this evening, joined by several entertaining and immensely talented colleagues.
Methinks I'll toss a nod to this thread in there somewhere just in case there's anyone left in the Greater Internet Area who is unaware that this is the most dedicated bastion of Nintendo diehards there is.
(For the record, this isn't me saying tune in; I'm simply saying that Nintendo Era shoutouts occasionally draw in new members so there's a chance we'll be joined by new faces soon!)

That's something I've never really understood in this thread. I've long seen a SMO sequel as basically as inevitable as a BotW sequel was, but a lot of people seem to act like it's probably not going to happen.
I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if SMO2 releases before BotW2.
I'm not even gonna try to predict third party stuff. I am optimistic we'll see something cool, though.
Mine would look like this
-Pokemon Legends
-Splatoon 3
-Breath of the Wild 2
-Kirby
-Donkey Kong
-2D Metroid
-Fire Emblem
-Xenoblade/Monolith new IP
-2D Mario
-Metroid Prime 4
-Metroid Prime Trilogy
-WW/TP HD
-Super Mario Odyssey 2
-Pikmin 4

-Bayonetta 3 (we were literally told to forget about it lol)
If the Pro gets announced tomorrow this thread will finish by Friday.
Still people are still way negative about it and also is still built off BotW so anyway i say 2021 if not i will stand corrected
If they show more of BotW2, I think they'll wait until the very end to show off a new trailer. Us who want a new trailer more than anything else will be sweating when the clock says 18:37.
I don't think they can squeeze it into 3 hours of Treehouse however.

Did they highlight in the last e3 direct or this year's feb direct?
TBH my biggest actual prediction is "when the Switch Pro is announced we're getting a shocking number of ports of existing released games"
I don't think anyone should be so bothered by people saying BotW 2 is 2022. This isn't something new. Many people have believed BotW 2 is coming in 2022 for the longest. It's like you only want to hear people say BotW 2 is 2021 to make yourself happy.
You have better chances of getting a Mother 3 port announcement.
The other thing to consider is timing. Mario just had a bunch of releases. In the last 9 months, we have seen all bar one of the old 3D Mario games appear on the Switch, plus a new mini adventure. I think they're gonna give the poor guy a break.
Argument against a next week announcement: E3 starts June 7th for the Media, Nintendo traditionally shows the direct to the Media during that time, if theres Pro stuff in there, it'll get leaked immediately. Therefore Nintendo will want to get that out before media week, and not step on another company's media week timeslot. So therefore, this week.
If Nintendo showcases 1 game for 10 minutes in the Treehouse then we'll get 18 games shown. Usually, in a normal treehouse the segments are about 15-20 minutes. So let's say the segments are 15 minutes then we'll see 12 games.
If the Switch Pro is announced, it'll explode
If the Switch Pro isn't announced, it'll implode
Either way it ain't surviving
I'm betting with a friend that the Switch revision won't be announced before E3. I'm liking my chances.
I think it's more that the wording seems haughty at times. Like "Oh you poor fools believing BoTW2 will launch in 2021"
Not saying that's what people are intending but it does come off that way sometimes, at least to me
I agree with this. An announcement next week would also complicate things because it's not just Nintendo that shows off stuff to the media early; if a third party wanted to do it and had Switch Pro info, the press would see that and potentially leak it out.
You're more bearish on Metroid than I thought you would be. I hope for your sake we see something!
+1. Also, we'll get a bunch of complaints from people that they're old games, and meanwhile I'll be stoked to be able to play all of these games on the Switch!
