1. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Time (Maybe?)

Zelda fans, brace yourselves. While there is no official confirmation of the rumor, “Echoes of Time,” a new Zelda title, has been making its rounds. If confirmed, we can expect to be swept away in another epic adventure for weeks.

2. Mario Kart 9 (finally?!)

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been around for what seems like a decade. Nintendo, it’s time to take on a new challenge! Although there are no official Nintendo Direct updates on this yet, some insiders suggest that a new, chaotic, high-speed entry could be coming soon. Fingers crossed!

3. Metroid Prime 4: (Is this real life?)

Nintendo teased Metroid Prime 4 in 2017. You read it correctly. Two world events, three iPhones and a pandemic later, we’re still waiting. Rumors say that we may finally see the Nintendo Switch in 2025. Please, Nintendo, do not play with our emotions.

4. Donkey Kong’s Big Comeback

Nintendo’s banana-loving favorite gorilla could be getting a new 2D or 3-D platformer. If the rumor is accurate, you can expect some jungle-jumping and catchy music.

5. Pokemon Legends: Celebi

There’s a buzz that, after the success of Pokemon Legends Arceus there will be a sequel with Celebi set in the Johto area. This could be just the nostalgia-inducing game you’ve been waiting for if you were a Gold and Silver fan.

6. A New Super Smash Bros.?

Could we see a new Nintendo Switch-exclusive game, such as Smash Bros.? Sakurai claims he is “done” but we know he cannot resist a good fight.

7. Animal Crossing Update – A Sequel or Update?

We’re all curious to see what Nintendo has in store for us after New Horizons dominated our lives from 2020 onwards. Will it be an update or sequel? Only time will tell (and Nintendo Switch update).

8. A Surprise Nintendo IP

Nintendo is known to pull surprises from nowhere. We wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo revealed an entirely new series, something we didn’t see coming but would love.

9. Fire Emblem returns

Nintendo is said to be working on another Fire Emblem title, because, let’s face it, we just can’t get enough of tactical battles or questionable relationships.

10. A Mysterious Collaboration

Nintendo is a fan of crossovers, and rumors are circulating about a partnership with a major studio. Could it be a Nintendo x Capcom game or a Nintendo x Square Enix? We can only dream.

Final Thoughts

The future is looking exciting with all the Nintendo announcements. Nintendo has something for everyone, whether you’re a casual or hardcore gamer. If all else fails, then we will just continue to play Mario Kart 8 and Tears of the Kingdom until Nintendo releases something new.
