Amid smaller showcases, this marks the third full Nintendo Direct of the year. In February, a Direct revealed Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, Splatoon 3, Mario Golf: Super Rush and more. At E3, Nintendo finally showed more from Breath of the Wild 2, announced Metroid Dread, and revealed Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope.
As for what could be shown at this event, there've been recent rumours about Game Boy and Game Boy Color games coming to Nintendo Switch Online. Many will also be hoping that we discover the identity of the final character coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate after Tekken's Kazuya was added in June. Is it too much to hope we'll see more Breath of the Wild 2 ahead of its 2022 release? Judging by how quiet Nintendo's been about the game so far, quite possibly.
Correction: This story originally said Breath of the Wild 2 was arriving in February. No release month has been announced, and the error has been corrected.
