Summary

• Prominent leaker hints at Nintendo's Direct being one of the best ever shown, creating high expectations.
• Speculation on titles like Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Legends: Z-A being shown grows.
• Nintendo's surprise announcements could include highly anticipated games like Hollow Knight: Silksong.

A prominent leaker has stated that Nintendo might be doing more than fans expect with its impending Direct. In fact, they suggest that this might not just simply be the final main Direct of the Nintendo Switch’s life, but it may be one of the best Directs that fans have seen from the company.

The statement comes from Midori on X (formerly Twitter). After the presentation of the Xbox Showcase on Sunday, a person questioned on the social media site if Nintendo could put out a Direct that matched the perceived quality of Microsoft’s showcase. Midori responded quickly and noted that it would be “peak.”

The reactions from the post sum up the feelings about the statement. Many wonder what Midori knows to make that kind of claim, while others are excited about what Nintendo could announce to make the Nintendo Switch’s final year huge. Should Nintendo deliver, there is potential for greatness.

The Big Titles That Could Show Up At The Nintendo Direct

Nintendo Is Also Known For Its Surprises

One of the biggest hopes is for Metroid Prime 4. While there is speculation on what Metroid could be like on Switch 2, the desire for the E3 2017 announced game to finally be released is palpable. The company hasn’t talked about the game since the announcement of its restart with Retro Studios, the team behind the original trilogy on Nintendo GameCube and Wii. If it were to be released in 2024 or early 2025, it would be a powerful finishing statement for the console and build up hype for Samus Aran’s future.

The other obvious pick to help make it peak would be Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The title was revealed at the February Pokémon Presents event, but nothing else has been shown since. Thus, a new trailer could be in the cards. However, two games alone wouldn’t make the Nintendo Direct one of the best events of the year. There’s speculation that a recent announcement by Nintendo could bring Hollow Knight: Silksong to the presentation. The title has been highly anticipated for years and could bring serious praise to the Direct if shown off. Then again, Nintendo could have something completely new and surprising to show off.

While Nintendo hasn’t revealed the specific date for the Direct, it has already been confirmed to be coming in June. The company also said that no titles for the Switch 2 would be shown. As such, everything revealed will only be for the Switch throughout 2024 and early 2025. The Switch’s lineup in 2024 has been full of remasters and remakes, and rumors and leaks state that this could continue via the show. Only Nintendo knows just how “peak” the Direct will be.
