Hope it doesn’t replace a full direct.

Hell yeah. Guessing we’ll see the Miyamoto / Charles Martinet video during this as well.

If Rosalina is not in I’m not buying
Jk I’ll still get it but I’ll be really disappointed

Hopefully it covers more than that. MP4 especially. There really isn’t much reason to talk about SMB Wonder, it kind of sells itself just being a Mario platformer.
E: Lmao guys what did I say?

Starfield early access and a Nintendo Direct on the same day, nice!

New Switch owner here! Can we hope an eshop Mario sale for older titles (like 30% off) before the release date of Mario Wonder?

I kinda think this is it for the holiday Direct. Everything is in development for the next box. The Holiday Lineup is Mario RPG, Mario Wonder, Pokemon DLC, and co marketing on Dragon Quest Monsters.
And that’s okay. You can’t gear up for a console launch next year and also have a release schedule packed with bangers all the way up to the end. There’s a natural ebb and flow to these things.
And for what it’s worth, DQ Monsters may be a spin off of a pretty niche RPG brand outside Japan, but it looks pretty great actually! Much better than Treasures from last year.

First properly ‘new’ style of 2D Mario in 15+ years. Suspect Nintendo has a ton of tricks up their sleeves with this one. Fingers crossed. But there is a decent chance that this could be a proper game-changer for the side scroller genre. Ironically, this game still feels like a ‘sleeper GOTY contender’, which is ironic given the fact that this is Nintendo and Super Mario going all the way back to his 2D roots, after all.

A whole direct on a 2D Mario? Wow

I still have my original switch(v2), unwrapped, in my wife’s dresser. Will finally open it (a day prior, to update it, etc, get a feel for joycon) with this new Mario game. I’m that guy that waited patiently for a proper new iteration of this franchise, been gaming since Atari 2600, and have never yet touched a Switch. AMA.

Full direct just for one game must mean that it’s going to be a great one 🔥🔥

I hope there’s still a general Direct and they’re just doing this one cause they don’t wanna take too much time in the Direct talking about Charles Martinet’s retirement. They did say they have that video featuring him and Shigeru Miyamoto.

I think we will get a Direct in October

This is the game I’m most excited about this year.

If there’s no general September direct then I fully believe Switch 2 will be “announced” (codename?) between now February with Feb direct being focused on that with some Switch 1 stragglers (Zelda remasters)

I kind of don’t want to watch this. I want to go into the game knowing as little as possible, but I do want to see Miyamoto / Charles Martinet speak about the game/their time working with Nintendo. Kind of torn.

This is the most excited I have been about a game in a long time. The NSMB games were well-made but just not all that interesting/unique (I loved 3D World though). SMBW feels like it has the quirky pizazz and creativity of the older 2D games.
IniMiney
Probably introducing the new actor during this too

Miyamoto just announces Chris Pratt is voicing Mario for the next 30-ish years.

Anyone find it suspicious that both Apple and Nintendo are having events with “Wonder” in the title?

Nintendo Live is this weekend and SMBW will probably be there so Nintendo wants to get more info out there before the public gets to play it… This is not going to replace a September direct…
