It'll definitely be nice to see an Epic Mickey rerelease. It sucked that the game has been trapped on Wii for so long.

Direct this June, announcement of the Switch successor some time after.

Well, that's soft confirmation that it won't be out this year. June would be the perfect time to start slipping some information out for a holiday release.

Some early predictions: The Switch successor will have a presentation announced this fall and then it will follow a similar schedule to the Switch with the presentation in January and release in March.

Metroid Prime 2 Remastered and Metroid Prime 3 Remastered will be some of the last first party games for the current Switch and Metroid Prime 4 will be a cross-gen launch title.

Nintendo has decided to hold back The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD as releases for the Switch's successor in its first two years.

They said fiscal year, right? I think it won't be announced till 2025

Yes, the fiscal year ends in March 2025.

So it's entirely possible I'm predicting the release a bit too early, but I think launching at the end of the fiscal year looks good to investors which is why I'm sticking with March.

I’d that that’s an accurate perdiction to the cycle I’ve seen since Gamecube. Twilight Princess was a cross console release on Cube and Wii.

Hoping they'll finally announce the exact opening date of the Nintendo Museum. It's slated for Fall of this year, but I'd like to go there for the opening if possible, so I'm anxious for specific details.

Outside of that, I think this upcoming Direct will probably announce something for Metroid Prime 4. AFAIK, this is supposed to be their last big Direct hyping the Switch's lineup for the rest of the year, and presumably they will begin transitioning to Switch 2 buzz later this year, so I feel like this is their last opportunity to say something about MP4 on Switch, if it's still happening.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Metroid Prime 4 is cross-gen, but we'll see, hopefully soon enough.
