Nintendo hasn't announced its summer announcement plans, but we'd be very surprised if it didn't soon. The publisher was among the first to switch from live stage shows to all-digital showcases with its Nintendo Direct presentations. In the past few years that has become even more the norm in light of the pandemic and restrictions on in-person events. So Nintendo seems likely to stick to its usual schedule of a summer reveal presentation that outlines all of its game plans for the rest of 2022 and teasers for beyond that.
We may not hear about the Nintendo Direct until it's almost upon us, though, as Nintendo has gotten into the habit of announcing new presentations just days ahead of time. We already know of a few Not-E3 presentations, but Nintendo isn't on the schedule yet. Whenever it does happen, though, we have high hopes for what we want to see out of the Nintendo Switch developer.
No dual-screen gimmick. No unnecessary on-foot segments. No sexy saxophone solo as Fox McCloud creepily stares at a comatose blue Fox girl. All that Star Fox really has to be--or should be--is a series of on-rails levels that sometimes branch and always feature a ton of explosions and firepower. It's admirable that Nintendo wants to make each game feel completely different from the previous ones, but that has led to some really not great Star Fox games and the erosion of a legacy that includes one of the greatest games of all time: Star Fox 64. Just make that but with new levels! I will not mind! -- Gabe Gurwin

I'm hoping to see colorful and imaginative courses that look like something out of a fever dream, an assortment of unique power-ups (and of course, returning ones), updates to the Battle mode, and features and elements that we can't even conceive of right now. The rumor is that Mario Kart 9 will have a new "twist," and history has shown that Nintendo has an unmatched ability to give us what we don't even know we want. Nintendo has an excellent track record with Mario Kart for quality, so my expectations are very high. -- Eddie Makuch

Golf Story paid homage to the Mario sports RPGs of the Game Boy era, including Mario Golf and Mario Tennis. It featured charming characters, hilarious writing, and a wide assortment of activities in addition to old-school three-click-swing golfing. And Sports Story aims to build off of Golf Story's wonderful foundation by offering far more variety. As the name suggests, Sports Story will feature more than just golf. We know that tennis will have a full campaign of its own (related to the delay) and other sports such as baseball, soccer, volleyball, cricket, and fishing will join the fray (golf will return, don't worry). Sports Story sounds like a sports role-playing game that has a bit of everything, which makes it incredibly enticing to someone who adores classic role-playing sports games. And Sports Story is undoubtedly a big enough indie to be shown during a main Nintendo Direct. -- Steven Petite
While what I'm hoping for first and foremost is a release date, everything we've seen from Breath of the Wild 2 has me dying for just abitmore information on what's to come. Allusions to Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess? Dark, Majora's Mask-esque vibes? Princess Zelda playing a more active role? The chance to explore a sympathetic backstory for Ganon? Sign me the heck up, Nintendo. -- Jessica Howard
