 Huh really, that's pretty interesting Man, you know Sometimes I wonder about what's happening at Nintendo Prime. What's happening with Nintendo? I You know, I'm going through my phone here and there's all these emails all the time, right? Trying to get a hold of me for different sponsorships different companies MCN's thinking for some reason They want me on and that I want to hand them parts of my paycheck for literally nothing in return I don't get it. It's just that time of the year It's e3 and everyone wants a slice of that e3 pie and apparently everyone wants a slice of that Nintendo Prime e3 Prime it's it's weird, but what's not weird is What the hell is the point of e3 if it's not for gaming else? It's sure we have our giveaways right 35,000 dollars not 35,000 $3,500 were the giveaways covers for joy con power a fusion controller Nintendo switches games accessories eShop gift cards, etc. We have a whole bunch of stuff we're giving away during e3 That's exciting collectibles. Oh, it's great. It's awesome, but but None of that matters if gamer Christmas doesn't deliver so let's get into my Predictions for Nintendo's e3 2021 All right, so this list I feel is a little bit safe However, this list is also one that I actually believe is possible now Nintendo doesn't typically have Hundreds and thousands of stuff they unveil at e3 usually if you look at the history It's about three four sometimes five things with like three of them being big new surprises But this list is a little bit more jam-packed because We don't actually know really anything that's coming after Skyward Sword HD Factually with release dates between three next year. Shimigami Tensei five sometime this year. Don't know when We have no idea when Breath of the Wild 2 is coming or Metro Prime 4 Bayonetta 3 There's just a lot of unknowns with the release slate of games after well after After Skyward Sword on July 16th. So we have me Topia coming up We just got new Pokemon Snap. We have Mario Golf Super Rush next month What can we expect Nintendo to actually talk about at e3? What kind of show is Nintendo even going to put on? Let's start with the kind of show Nintendo is going to put on Nintendo isn't going to shy away from what they've always done here in e3 at least for the last four five years And that has been hey, we're gonna have our digital showcase Right our kind of Nintendo direct style, but beefed up higher presentation value likely a little bit of comedy involved Doug Bowser Making some sort of Bowser related joke or something like that Though there'll be something going on like that Nintendo is going to deliver the goods in a traditional Nintendo digital event kind of way, but what happens to Nintendo Treehouse because the Treehouse typically streams Pretty much the entire time the e3 show floor is open right from opening to close. They essentially are streaming Bunch of game developers a bunch of gameplay. What's happening with that? I think Nintendo is still going to do Nintendo Treehouse The question is will Treehouse be part of the actual e3 stream if it's part of the official ESA stream then I think it's going to be a Limited presentation like an hour or two at most taking up of that in addition to their digital presentation If it's on their own it's gonna make us cover any three a bit more complicated because Nintendo is going to be Conflicting Nintendo Treehouse coverage with the rest of the ongoing city three So I think it's highly likely that Nintendo is gonna have a condensed Nintendo Treehouse instead of having four days of streams for Nintendo Treehouse There's going to be like a four-hour window stream for Nintendo Treehouse And I think Nintendo is hoping to acquire about half a day from the ESA to do their stuff now Let's get into this and deep dive into what I actually expected him to show whether it be during the digital event Whether it's at the actual Nintendo Treehouse portion, which I think will be cut back this year But still jam packed and worthwhile Let's get into it and let's just start off the bat with the most obvious of obvious the game I want the most the game that I'm excited for the most that's Breath of the Wild 2 I do believe Nintendo's unveiling a new trailer for Breath of the Wild 2 at e3 I also think they're going to end up giving us a release date Whether that release date is later this year or you know January February March of next year We're going to get an exact date I think this game's a much further along than people realize I think localization appears to be pretty close to being done And I expect to get a whole bunch of new details Which means a whole bunch of podcasts and follow-up discussion videos and and all that jazz on this game Because this is the most hyped game for me anyways might not be for you But it is for me beyond that I think we're going to get some Zelda 35th shenanigans We're going to get you know, Twilight Princess HD the Wind Waker HD announced probably as a bundle I think we're going to get something announced from Grezzo. Don't know if it's going to be Oakland of Time Majora's Mask don't know if it's going to be or the Oracle games don't know if it's going to be the Minishka I don't know what it's going to be but Grezzo is going to be participating in the 35th anniversary of Zelda I'm just not sure what exactly they're working on. Maybe it's a brand new top-down Zelda game I don't know, but we're going to get the full plans. I feel unveiled at E3. They're not going to wait till later in the year They're going to they're going to give us a bunch of this Zelda 35th news. They're merchandise. Maybe a new Lego set, right? We have we have a new Luigi Lego set coming this year. Why not a new Zelda set? I don't really think they conflict with sales or two different IPs. So yeah, that is something I expect at least at E3 I do expect a new Donkey Kong game now. I was a bit skeptical on this before before Samus Hunter told me about hey, there's like a new 3d Donkey Kong game in the works either it's a full 3d game You know like you think Donkey Kong 64 or you can go to Donkey Kong tropical freestyle where it's side scrolling But with 3d environments, right? It's 3d's in it somehow, but here's the thing Regardless if it's more like Donkey Kong Country or more like DK64 or maybe it's its own thing. Maybe it's like Mario Odyssey I have no idea regardless of what direction that game takes I do think it's interesting to think about the idea that it is Donkey Kong's 40th anniversary I did think that we're gonna do something for the 40th anniversary I thought we're gonna be more like a DK 40 You know Donkey Kong 40 where hello won't that meet make a lot of sense? You think about Pac-Man 99 touches 99 Mario 99 It rakes a lot of sense in that style to put that on there and maybe we will get an announcement like that Maybe that is the Donkey Kong game we get I'm not sure right some sort of Donkey Kong game is getting announced for the 40th anniversary of DK All right, next up a Kirby game. I'm just throwing this out there Kirby isn't always revealed at E3 Kirby isn't always made a big deal of it E3 Kirby could be something they drop as a Twitter announcement later this year. There are Kirby games every single year That's why they don't always appear at E3 But I do that Nintendo's gonna tease us with a mainline Kirby game and we'll see we'll see if it holds up to the hype It ends up being a game worthy of us getting super excited about I think Kirby star allies was was a pretty good game But it's pretty par for the course, right? It's like a it's like a stock standard Kirby game I think we're all ready for something to be beyond the norm. All right next up Fire Emblem remake fully expect the fire Emblem remake. This makes a lot of sense They were pumping this out, you know with awakening and echoes and all this stuff happening over on the 3ds I expected to continue here three houses was a huge sales success I expect a quick follow-up here with a fire Emblem remake to come later this year by the way I think that's that's a 2021 release. I think we're finally gonna see Hollow Knight silk song We haven't seen it since last E3 and I think we're finally gonna get a new trailer with a release date announced during Nintendo's Portion of events. So whether it's the direct whether it's at the treehouse. Yeah, we're gonna see Hollow Knight silk song It's gonna get her a release date finally That's one of the only indie games. I really have on here bad out of three I think bad out of three is gonna get unveiled with a release date now I'm on the fence whether bad out of three will end up being this year or if it's gonna be like a January game because it would work I think it worked very well as a January game for Nintendo But it is gonna get announced and there is gonna be a release date We're not really enough. It's gonna get shown off and there's gonna be a release date. So yay Bayonetta. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah next up 2d Metroid If you can't guess what we mentioned a 2d Metroid what I don't think we're gonna see Metroid Prime 4 this year I think they're gonna Maybe mention it like oh we need more time Before we could show this off But until then here is a new Metroid experience for you and then they're gonna show a 2d side scrolling Metroid game I think that makes a lot of sense. I think it's gonna sell decently well I hope it's a brand new experience and not a remake of a prior game. I think I've kind of hit my limit with like just rehashing old 2d side scrollers Let's make a new one if you're gonna make a 2d side scrolling Metroid game make a new one And we now know mercury steam is likely not the team working on the one that Samus returns There they have a new game getting published by 505 games I'm just saying there's probably one in the works by somebody and maybe that somebody is I have no idea to be honest But I expect one a couple things. These are kind of more surprise announcements one. I expect a major third-party game one To unexpectedly get announced for switch. I don't know what it's gonna be I don't know if it's Call of Duty Warzone or the upcoming Call of Duty game coming out later this year I don't know if it's you know at this point would it be shocking if Grand Theft Auto 5 was announced Grand Theft Auto 5 is clearly a game that could run on switch It's been able to run on switch just day one and we still don't have it So I don't know if that's the game. There's gonna be some sort of surprise game We don't expect think back on the doom 2016 announcement or the Wolfenstein announcement or You know the Civilization VI announcement think along the lines of a major third-party game That you just would never even think is possible on switch coming to switch and I mean natively on switch I also think we're gonna see two other major third-party games announced like hitman 3 as Streaming games coming to switch. So I don't think streaming games is going away. I think it's gonna expand I think we're gonna see two more major third-party games announced for strictly streaming Where I do think we're gonna get one new native game that people didn't think was possible on switch especially since we're in this whole New era the the the new generation, I guess as they say Next up, I do think we're gonna see this is this is one of the surprise reveals from Nintendo Remember when Shintara Furukawa was talking about how they're dedicated not just updating old games Which we might get some DLC updates for old games I don't have that in my predictions, but I think that might be a safe bet to say something's getting DLC, right? Yeah Shintara Furukawa also they're dedicated to new IP Starting with a new IP reveal from monolith soft now We have a pretty good idea that monolith soft is working on a new Xenoblade game But I think monolith soft is also working on a brand new IP We've had some teases based on hiring posts over the years that that's been happening for quite a while And I think this E3 is when they unveil monolith soft new IP now That IP I don't think is gonna come till 2022. I think that's that that's the caveat here It's gonna be a 2022 game, but New IP from monolith soft get hyped last time was you know the Chronicles So yeah, that turned out to be a pretty damn good series Let's see what monolith soft has works remember monolith soft has helped on everything from Mario Kart to Zelda Who the hell knows what they're working on, but it's gonna be something to be excited about to be sure Now I do expect them to also have a game tournament of some type maybe two of them This will happen in the Treehouse segment. I think it's mostly just gonna be Treehouse employees So yeah, if you like what like the Nintendo minute interactions, it's gonna be something kind of like that And they're probably gonna play either Smash Bros Or Splatoon 3 or something like that even though Splatoon 3 doesn't come into the next year It could be something else. Maybe maybe they end up playing some Mario Kart if they announce new DLC for Mario Kart What I find is interesting as well I do think there are going to reveal a smash character at E3 just one remember there's two left Right, we got two left on the what is supposed to be the final fighters pass We'll see maybe there will be another fighters pass before as far as we're aware Sakurai and everyone else has essentially said This is it last fighter pass So I do think we're gonna get an announcement on a character You might want to know my predictions for what that character is. I have no idea for now I'll just go with Crash Bandicoot But it could be anything a that's a that's what's nice what these character reveals. They're surprising every single time Even if it's like, oh, no, it's another Fire Emblem character Did you really think they were gonna add another Fire Emblem character? That would still be a surprise even if it's a bad one for some people. So yeah, I I think we're gonna get a smash character reveal as well So there's that Things not to expect I got two major things. I don't want you due to expect to see any three Metro Prime 4 let's set our expectations at zero if we end up seeing the game awesome But let's not expect it. Remember this game rebooted development like two years ago, and then a pandemic happened Right beginning of 2019 development is rebooted End of 2019. We're in a pandemic So let's be real with realistic here That half the game's development at Retro Studios happened during a pandemic. It's not coming this year guys If we're lucky, it'll come next year if we're you know more realistic. It's probably coming 2023 So It sucks that we have to wait so long, but I don't think we should expect Metroid Prime 4 That's why we're gonna get 2d Metroid this year as for Metroid Prime Trilogy HD They're still gonna be holding on to that. I feel until they're ready to show Metroid Prime 4 So think 2022 potentially for Metroid Prime each Trilogy HD. All right another thing you should not expect You heard me not put this in there switch pro reveal Stop it Just stop it. Do you think they're releasing switch pro in august? I'm asking you Look at nintendo's history of announcing revisions and releases switch light announced What is it september or something released at the end of october? Look at the nintendo 3ds when they announced it they released it two months later Do you think they're going to announce a switch pro at e3 that could kill momentum of the current switch sales? And then not have it come out till october or november at the earliest Like really you think they're gonna kill switch sales for five months? No They're not idiots. They're not dumb. They're gonna announce the switch pro Very close to when they're going to release it like within a month or two at most So don't expect switch pro to be talked about. So no, I've had a number of people message me Oh, Nate, you're gonna be disappointed when switch pros and show no i'm not because I don't expect it If it is shown I will be shocked But don't expect it nintendo has Then they're not dumb. They're marketing wizards. They are peaking right now a switch the switch sales are going like this They're gonna want to keep the sales going like that. They're not going to announce a system That's going to make it go like this boom hit a wall go down and then the pro comes out and it shoots back up They would rather it just keep going up Announce the pro it does like a little dip like this a flat lines a little pro hits and then goes back Up again. That's what nintendo wants. They don't want to see a massive sales dip So again, don't expect a pro announcement if we get it Awesome, I mean I more than anyone would love to see switch pro announced But I I don't think you should expect it nintendo hasn't really announced the system at e3 since the wii u If you think back, you know the new nintendo 3ds stuff wasn't announced there Obviously switch wasn't announced there switch light wasn't announced at e3 think about this logically nintendo hasn't been using e3 to announce platforms since what? 2010 2011 I think actually was when they announced the wii the wii u is 2011 before skyward sword came out You saw one announcing the wii u in 2011 did the wii sales and did the skyward sword Yeah, nintendo's not going to do that. You're gonna wait and it's not going to be an xgen platform So it's not going to have that sort of impact. I'm just saying they're going to wait and that's it That that that's my sort of safe But I think also kind of ambitious because there's a lot I mean think about that a new ip from monolith soft breath of the wild to zelda 35 shenanigans A dk game a curvy game fire emblem remake bayonetta 3 2d metroid a major third party game Um, hello, this is like a really really jam packed e3 like this list might seem small but it's packed And there's a lot of rumors backing some of this stuff up as well We'll see if those rumors are correct But I also kind of sort of think my predictions are right There's a couple things I threw in there as well that weren't part of the rumors So we'll see what happens.
