I believe that the main attraction for this direct is Metroid Prime 4. I believe we'll get more gameplay footage as well as the release date. We might get some new Pokémon Legends ZA info as well because that's the only other known new Switch 1 title releasing this year. And we might also finally see the long-rumored remaster of Kirby Planet Robobot and the long-rumored remake of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War.

I'll admit, I'm not too hyped up for this direct just because If fe4 and the robobot rumours are true, then we kinda know what all the heavy hitters of this direct might be. Not bad games to have, but I'm not exactly caring that much since im not a fire emblem superfan and I presume robobot will be like the krtdl remaster/remake where the only new context is a short post game thing that really makes buying the game at Nintendo prices a hard sell. If we get something more than the Susie epilogue sure I'll give it a fair shake, but I gotta start saving for the 2 soon enough so this is gonna have to wow me to get my dosh. MP4 will be fun but that's a clear opener/closer so what will it really do to blow my mind further y'know?

What I gotta hope is the rest of the direct is less filler and more niche stuff I care about. Been a few years since we've last heard from Intelligent Systems' Warioware/Rhythm Heaven team; maybe we can see the latter come back finally?

There's also Layton "supposedly" coming this year as a last big Switch 1 exclusive, but I don't really trust Level 5 that we're going to see the game in this direct or at all this year.

Does anyone think we might see something Chrono Trigger related in tomorrow’s Direct or next week’s? Square-Enix announced they had multiple projects planned to celebrate its 30th anniversary in the works. I could potentially see a port or HD2D remaster announced soon. We’ll see.

Like I said, he’s the literal only case of this.

It’s still (mostly) uncharted territory for us.


Alright, I’m not afraid to admit it; I was wrong. I’ll gladly take the L on that one.

Curious to see how much ammo they still have for a 30-minute presentation beyond the Metroid Prime 4 Beyond game for the original Nintendo Switch system, tbh

I hope so. While a port would be nice, I'd be tempted to buy an HD-2D port as soon as possible. (the only reason why I might not is because I have the DS version)

If a Chrono Trigger re-release or remake gets announced tomorrow, anyone who even has a passing interest in RPGs should look into it - it is an amazing game with an incredible soundtrack.

Ideally, I’d love something more ambitious like a full new sequel but I’ll be happy if we can just play the original game on modern hardware for now. An HD-2D remaster would be even better.

As far as 3rd party Mii Costume upgrades, the big 4 to me are Shantae, Dante, Lloyd, and Dragonborn. These are specifically the Mii Costumes that Sakurai highlighted as being highly requested, so I can at least see them being DLC newcomers if they were playable for real.
I think Doomguy is also up there. Not gonna lie , before his Mii costume i though DOOM would never get in Smash Bros., but now that doomguy is a mii costume, then there's probably no problems with his inclusion as a fighter.

I think Zero is another underrated option. He’s one of the few Mii outfits that was also an Assist Trophy. I’d imagine that has to count for something.
At least there would be more things represented outside of just Classic Megaman if he is playable since he will likely come with stage either based on X or Zero series of games.

Snake Man's stage from Metal Blade Solid
How was Zero in UMVC3?
Mainly? He's got an aerial attack where he does a big spin with his sword (dubbed the pizza cutter) that, I assume, is super disjointed if not just really big. He also has a shadow clone super which is a super strong super type on any character, but in his case it lets him pull off an infinite with his dive kick that he can combo into.

None of this was removed in MVCI, though I think his lightning loops (dive kick combo) weren't truly infinite there.

EDIT: He also synergies well with the literal best character in the game (Vergil) so he's a pretty popular pick on top tier teams that aren't running Phoenix or something.

Planet Robobot remake, Crono Trigger Remake, plants vs zombies game, Shadow Labyrinth, Shantae Advance, and fire emblem remake
Man, I hope we get that. It would be awesome to finally see Chrono Trigger get some love after so long. Are you thinking they’d keep things simple and go for an HD-2D style remake or would they get more ambitious and go for something closer to Dragon Quest 11? I’m leaning g towards the first option for a straight remake but a future sequel could be an option too. If we get more Chrono Trigger of any kind, it gives me an excuse to talk about Magus more often here lol. I wonder how much these new projects will help the series’ Smash chances.

If we are lucky, maybe we will get some Chrono Trigger content in next Smash Bros. Maybe even a character like Magus.

Getting Magus would make up for losing Sephiroth. He’s one of the very few characters in gaming I like more than Sephiroth. Ideally, Id like to keep both but I could live with that.
Yeah, Sephiroth is overrated to me. I would like to see Magus in if Sephiroth is it.

Only problem is, it might make it harder for Sakurai to choose Geno over a character from Chrono Trigger, but I am not complaining. I am not really in a hurry to see Geno in Smash anyway.
