A full hour, wow. I expect we'll get closer looks at Metroid Prime 4 and Splatoon Raiders, as those are the two biggest upcoming titles. Kirby Air Riders just got a mini Direct, so it probably won't be a focus.

Scratching my head trying to think of what unannounced IPs to expect. No Mario platformers since we just had Bananza and Wonder, but maybe a sports title or some other spinoff, also maybe Kart DLC. The next Zelda won't be for a while, maybe they'll tease it but if so it won't be more than a tease. Maybe a mainline Kirby, but maybe they're too focused on Air Riders. Fire Emblem seems likely, we're right about due. Animal Crossing is certainly possible. Maybe Yoshi?

I want to say Rhythm Heaven as my wildcard pick, but that already did get confirmed so I don't even know what else I want. F-Zero and Panel de Pon would be my dream games but I know they're absolutely not happening.

Well, no Splatoon Raiders was a surprise, was sure that'd be featured. I called Mario sports, Fire Emblem, and Yoshi.

Just hope they don't spend 20 mins on Metroid Prime 4. I am excited about it but don't want that much time on one game in the main direct.
