Metroid is heavily rumored.
The DK rumors are... much less strong.
It's mostly that EPD is making a big 2D platformer and people hope it's Donkey Kong.
This is why I'm including other studio games in my Nintendo ranking. Many will forget Mario + Rabbids 2 come E3 end but it is a major announcement for the platform.
The DK rumors are not as strong as the Metroid ones, but they aren't just speculation. Multiple sources have said EPD is making Donkey Kong specifically. NintendoLife is one, off the top of my head.
Nobody here is going to have the same definition as "big", so that's not really a meaningful measure to me.
Metroid, DK and Monolith's next game are all big to me, and all feel like reasonable E3 announcements; and there's plenty more they could show.
Interesting. Anyways, I'll probably keep my expectations in check. DK and Metroid being announced out of nowhere and launching in 2021 seems too good to be true.
It's also not weird to expect something like those games, is unknown what Mercurysteam has being doing after SR and they recently said they have being working in "multiple stuff", and EPD can be working in 5 or even 6 projects at the same time, and we currently know about 3 (BOTW2, Splatoon 3 and GBG), so expecting to see something from them won't be surprising, though who knows if it's DK
I guess I'm confused why people are allowing other companies' press conferences to set the expectations for Nintendo's presentation (despite there being virtually no overlap between what Nintendo does and the rest of the industry does) when Nintendo's OWN statement about the matter said that its presentation will focus on software "mostly releasing in 2021," of which there are currently 3 known titles, 1 of which releases in 2 weeks and the other 2 are re-releases of old games (and one of those comes out in a month). Not to mention that these other companies, in addition to dealing with COVID, also had hardware launches within the last year, which Nintendo did not. And also, as far as I know, Nintendo's public statements regarding COVID's impact on its software development have consistently downplayed how much it's caused delays. We can choose not to believe that (goodness knows I never take Nintendo's word at face value), but as far as I'm aware, that's Nintendo's public stance on the matter.
This is just, I don't know, very, very strange behavior. Are we really expecting 2/3 of Nintendo's presentation to be taken up by Mario Golf and Skyward Sword?

I would expect Metroid and a big 2D platformer coming from Nintendo in the future with Metroid releasing in a few months.
But not sure the big 2D platformer will be at this e3 or if it will be released this year or if it will be Donkey Kong.
My hope is that Nintendo and Xbox complement each other nicely, in the sense that Nintendo has obviously far fewer announcements, but an equal or greater number of tangible, "imminent" 1st-party reveals for 2021 that show some prime gameplay while also showing a couple titles (with or without gameplay) that will maintain our investment and excitement in the next year and a half. Like a flip of the "mostly 2022 and beyond, but some 2021 games" showcase for Xbox
Looking at the Plagues Tale situation, and I'm up for it. I got both Control and Hitman cloud versions on Switch, beaten both games (probably put a good 60 hours into Hitman) and have nothing but good things to say about it. Bring on more
I see. Haven't been keeping up with the rumors.
Hope you're right. A non Retro DK is not something I'm super excited for anyways. Lol. Metroid presumably made by Mercury Stream (not sure if I get the name right)?
Metroid is one of those announcements that would carry E3 for me. I can't wait
2022 has the potential to be a crazy year for games all around
Final-ish Nintendo Direct predictions:
- 1st party Smash character
- Animal Crossing - Gyroids and Brewster

- One more thing: BotW 2 (2022)
One or Two of the following:
- Style Saavy 5
- Fire Emblem Echoes: 6+7 remake
- 2D Donkey Kong
- new Xenoblade
Third Party: Super Monkey Ball, SMTV

I was goofing around in DK64 the other night and I thought "Damn we seriously need a follow up to this game." Hopefully E3 will give us some answers on if that will ever happen. At this point I just want some sort of internal closure/peace of mind on this whole 2D vs 3D DK conundrum.
2022 could be 2017 all over again. Of course, we said that about this year too so...
Someone has to whip up a bunch of avatars of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon for the release date bets.
As someone who loves weird ports and only owns a Switch, here are some random wild dream announcements with no basis on anything that I somehow hope I'm right about:
-Jet Set Radio Collection.
- Banjo game, old or new. Shit, I would gladly take a Nuts and Bolts port.
- Psychonauts, either the second one or a cleaned-up re-release of the first game.
- Valheim.
- Solar Ash.
- Cuphead DLC.
- Any Yakuza.

This is what I see:
September: Super Mario Party 2
October: Metroid 5
November: Pokempn D&P
December: BotW 2
Yeah... In my mind it was like Nioh... but darker... and culminated in an epic boss fight against Shiva.
Now it's pure... CHAOS.
Man, if Metroid skips another direct I will personally pour one out for every die-hard Metroid fan.
Ehhhh depends on how you define "Odyssey team."
It's being done by EPD8, which is indeed the studio that made Odyssey. But the rumors say they are creating a new side team within EPD8 for this game. So if it's real it will likely have some of the devs from Odyssey but not most.
It's already in your collection. That's how secret it was. Everyone purchased it without realizing.
Finally, Metroid exists!
Metroid Prime trilogy though... I see it as a 2022 title, to prepare folks for 2023's Metroid 4.
The difference is, a new Donkey Kong game, 2D or 3D, is basically guaranteed to happen eventually. It's not in IP Limbo like Star Fox is, and is being used for the next area at Universal Studios parks.
Nintendo teams don't really mean anything right? It's more about the project leads and producers? Or is that not the case with the Tokyo studio since they are separate from the main body. I wonder who got promoted to lead it.
Nate, MondoMega, and DK Vine had all backed up the DK rumours many months before Nintendo Life or Zippo.
