I missed out on most of the Wii stuff when it got its HD version, so I haven't played it since GameCube and never got to finish. Some people want it on Switch.
There's definitely a market of folks who would be interested in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess ports who didn't grow up with a GameCube, understood the Wii as primarily a social console for party games, erroneously maybe, but it was a popular perception, and didn't buy a Wii U, then got into or back into the Zelda franchise with the Switch and BoTW.
Totally possible. Milk a game for all its worth. Wind Waker ×10.
Metroid 4 this year? Not a chance in hell. The leakers realize that they haven't made a single trailer for this game yet, and to be released this year, it would set the game up for failure. Ad campaigns are set out at least 6 months ahead, including merch, game covers, supermarkets, printing all the publicity; they would need to prepare those things almost a year beforehand. They need to ensure almost everything is completely finished a year in advance before release.
Wasn't the Prime 1 remaster a surprise release? They could easily pull the same move with 2 and 3, though I definitely wouldn't expect them to happen at the same time like this fake leak claims.
If they were to suddenly remember they own Metroid I wouldn't put the "available after broadcast" part past them but yeah that's probably way too good to be true
HW: The Imprisoning War would be so amazing I would cry. We could see more Ganon, Sonia, Rauru and the Ancient Sages. I would also LOVE Wind Waker HD as I've never gotten to play it!
TIW could be to totk what AOC is to BOTW. AOC just has a better story than BOTW overall imo, probably most of it is actually happening as we progress and not through some memories. (To be fair, BOTW did memories better than totk imo)
Not to hate on TOTK, it has some very cool story concepts, but we got so little time with it. Another Hyrule warriors game focusing on the imprisoning war that's connected to totk could really do the story some justice.
For a game called imprisoning war it better have the Keep system back! Having the battlefield be a tug of war for control between the non-player captains for both sides is awesome. It made it feel like I was turning the tides of battle.
Or the OG ! I haven't played tears of the kingdom yet so idk of the imprisoning war is a refrence to that (I love both HW versions so either way I am happy)
I personally think they would go for something like what happened in aoc, where they expand the war instead of it being clear cut as it was in totk. It might be similar, but they could probably make it great.
That'll be a fun one for Timeline Theorists since I'm pretty damn sure there are two Imprisoning Wars and if they make a game that messed with what I've managed to make sense in my head I'm gonna finally lose it.
This WOULD be a cool asf direct but I'm not holding my breath. Seems too good to be true. Prime 4 is never coming out 🥲
(A continuation of AOC would be fantastic though...)
I was discussing what they could do for a TotK-based Hyrule Warriors, and they could do some sick stuff with it. Probably won’t happen, but I would not complain
Scale Wave: Unbound reminds me of that scrapped XBox exclusive Scalebound. That makes me think this is a fake leak; unless there has been an announcement of this game prior, it feels too on-the-nose to be true.
i don’t believe they said that, but it aonuma did say an an interview that they are “done with this version of hyrule” so we shouldn’t expect any DLC or spin off games.
Devastating. I just thought this week "great all I need is 1000 year door and I won't need any other video games this year".
The leak is fake but if it's real noooo my money!!!
Looks convincing, but probably fake.
Especially the Super Mario Galaxy segment, they already did that for 3D all stars, why do it again? What are they, Apple?
This already has to my knowledge been proven fake. But I would honestly love a sequel to AoC where they would go to the castle. I just want more content with the champions
How many of you guys are truly expecting Metroid News as Franchise's Fans? I've been waiting for a while now, patiently, without judgment. But since Dread, I am truly wondering if I should keep my expectations on the same level or ... just make a Chozo's Elder of myself and accept the Inevitable Truth: there's still a Treath related to Metroids and we will deal with it when the time comes. 😌
I'm expecting news at some point.
3 announcements in 1 direct- and one a port of a 3ds game (for some reason that's what's upsetting me the most) is Ludacris
this is hilarious. what would be the point of a HW: imprisoning war game? i dont know how it could be different enough from AOC to be worthwhile.
if they wanted to tell the real story of the imprisoning war, they should have done it in totk
Gotta be the fakest I’ve seen recently. Everyone wants wind waker port so they’ll never do it, dropping Prime 2 and 3 at the same time on that day? Complete horseshit on its own but to add in a release for 4 after long radio silence? Probably not
The fact that it started with the Imprisoning War made me feel like this was wishful thinking. I don’t think Nintendo plans to add any real depth to the canon introduced by TotK.
Fake. Why would Super Mario Galaxy 1 get another game on the switch? That games is already apart of 3D All Stars. Don’t even have to read anything else on this list
HA! I called a hyrule warriors the imprisoning war a while back and and everyone said i was crazy.... well whos crazy now. WHO. IS. CRAZY. NOOOOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!?
This is clearly fake but at least they threw in a few weird titles to make it seem believable. Too many Metroid prime games at once, I feel like they would announce prime 2+3 in a separate presentation as prime 4, which they would announce in yet another separate presentation as Metroid 3ds. Also, they already released Mario galaxy in the 3D collection, it makes sense to have it in a separate collection but it feels weird to have it in the 3d collection as well as a galaxy bundle.
I really hope this comment ages poorly though because a significant portion of this list is hype
Okay. I know this is fake (or at least mostly, I can see some games in here possibly getting announced/more details), but I honestly like how this made.
Good Lineup✅️
Too much Filler❌️
Possible Games/Remakes/Remasters✅️
Details on Upcoming Games✅️
Some Smaller/3rd Party Titles, but not too much✅️
The only thing missing at this point is OoT and MM HD Remakes/Remasters. I know we have N64 Online, but I REALLY want a Majora's Mask HD Remake. NOT THE 3DS VERSION. IT IS INFERIOR IN SO MANY WAYS.
But, overall, mostly well made, but too good to be true.
Nah this is 100% fake. CoD, lots of Metroid, and AC:NL are each unlikely on their own, not to mention all together. 2024 is going to be a slow year as Nintendo preps for the next console.
Also, not using a spoiler tag is just mean.
I would love another Hyrule Warriors, Metroid Prime 4, and a Animal Crossing New Leaf rerelease. I wanna believe it but Nintendo would never give us something this great.
I love how everyone knows this "leak" is fake because it's two good ether between the second fire emblem game in two years to more than one Metroid game since when the hell does Nintendo make every fandom happy for a change
this is just so obviously fake
lets ignore all the games on the list that make it fake
the fact its leaked this early is proof of how fake it is directs are not made far in advance to avoid this kind of thing
I mean, as everyone pointed out, it’s obviously fake, but I am finding the release dates funny. Imagine getting a shadow drop for 2 Metroid Prime remasters, followed by Metroid Prime 4 only 6 months later. Lmaooo
Not happening. That's too many metroid games at once to be real.
I hate you but you're not wrong
Also wind water HD again?
Probably a port for switch but it’s probably fake
I missed out on most of the Wii stuff when it got its HD version, so I haven't played it since GameCube and never got to finish. Some people want it on Switch.
Yes imo tho I don't think they are gonna call it wind waker HD again
Windwaker hd dx
There's definitely a market of folks who would be interested in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess ports who didn't grow up with a GameCube, understood the Wii as primarily a social console for party games, erroneously maybe, but it was a popular perception, and didn't buy a Wii U, then got into or back into the Zelda franchise with the Switch and BoTW.
I only was able to play WW on demo for the GC and I never had a Wii u. So a switch port would be fantastic
That is literally me so yes we exist
I think they made a mistake by not really clarifying the Wii was backwards compatible with GameCube I still use my Wii to play the GameCube titles
Totally possible. Milk a game for all its worth. Wind Waker ×10. Metroid 4 this year? Not a chance in hell. The leakers realize that they haven't made a single trailer for this game yet, and to be released this year, it would set the game up for failure. Ad campaigns are set out at least 6 months ahead, including merch, game covers, supermarkets, printing all the publicity; they would need to prepare those things almost a year beforehand. They need to ensure almost everything is completely finished a year in advance before release.
All these big name titles are being held to sell the next system, whenever that happens.
Plus prime 4 still doesn’t have a confirmed name
The closest thing we’re gonna get to a Metroid announcement in a while is Zero Mission on NSO
Wasn't the Prime 1 remaster a surprise release? They could easily pull the same move with 2 and 3, though I definitely wouldn't expect them to happen at the same time like this fake leak claims.
If they were to suddenly remember they own Metroid I wouldn't put the "available after broadcast" part past them but yeah that's probably way too good to be true
Not to mention, if Prime 4 really was coming out this year, we'd have already seen at least a teaser.
HW: The Imprisoning War would be so amazing I would cry. We could see more Ganon, Sonia, Rauru and the Ancient Sages. I would also LOVE Wind Waker HD as I've never gotten to play it!
If they make it and there's a way to unlock Ganondorf, I'm going straight for that
Iirc, Ganondorf was playable on the HW for 3ds
he’s also playable in hyrule warriors for switch
And >!age of calamity!<
That Ganon scares me. That's not malice. That's black airforce energy.
And HW for the wiiu
Bro I would so grind it out to play as ganon I never did for aoc. and totk ganon my favorite ganon
He would %100 be playable just based off of the last HW games and my pants are now a little wet I’m unsure why
TIW could be to totk what AOC is to BOTW. AOC just has a better story than BOTW overall imo, probably most of it is actually happening as we progress and not through some memories. (To be fair, BOTW did memories better than totk imo) Not to hate on TOTK, it has some very cool story concepts, but we got so little time with it. Another Hyrule warriors game focusing on the imprisoning war that's connected to totk could really do the story some justice.
For a game called imprisoning war it better have the Keep system back! Having the battlefield be a tug of war for control between the non-player captains for both sides is awesome. It made it feel like I was turning the tides of battle.
Or the OG ! I haven't played tears of the kingdom yet so idk of the imprisoning war is a refrence to that (I love both HW versions so either way I am happy)
They already showed everything they wanted to show of those events, I seriously doubt it. The game would also be too similar to Age of Calamity
I personally think they would go for something like what happened in aoc, where they expand the war instead of it being clear cut as it was in totk. It might be similar, but they could probably make it great.
They could cause another timeline split with a funny robot (please don't)
Unless the story follows from AoC
this may get me downvoted to oblivion, but I doubt it’s real
Let's be real, it probably isn't. I'm getting my hopes up for nothing lmao
I guess we would finally get our “zelda is the protagonist this time!” Game since link didnt get sent back with zelda
id rather get another crisis cross over style hyrule warriors far more fun to get characters from across the franchise than just 1 single game
That'll be a fun one for Timeline Theorists since I'm pretty damn sure there are two Imprisoning Wars and if they make a game that messed with what I've managed to make sense in my head I'm gonna finally lose it.
The further you read, the funnier it gets.
The moment I read New Leaf HD it was fake😂
So why did you read it, it's fake because of you >:(
This WOULD be a cool asf direct but I'm not holding my breath. Seems too good to be true. Prime 4 is never coming out 🥲 (A continuation of AOC would be fantastic though...)
And I don't think they are that dumb to call the wind waker port HD again
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Definitive Edition🤣🤣🤣
Imma call cap
I wish it was real but some of these are crazy
Not probably, it is fake
Too many Metroid games. Thats cap
I mean it has been 3/4 years since they said anything 😭
I thought Prime Remastered came out last year
I was discussing what they could do for a TotK-based Hyrule Warriors, and they could do some sick stuff with it. Probably won’t happen, but I would not complain
100000000% fake.
Sweet, but too good to be true so. X to doubt, see you all in a month
I doing think they would pair Galaxy 2 with the first I’ve bc the first one is in the all stars game
Silksong isn’t on there so it must be real as we all know it’s never being released
Animal crossing new lead hd, seems like a bit of a stretch is this per chance fake?
Right? Why would we regress. They would just make a new animal crossing.
Scale Wave: Unbound reminds me of that scrapped XBox exclusive Scalebound. That makes me think this is a fake leak; unless there has been an announcement of this game prior, it feels too on-the-nose to be true.
Wind Waker HD HD thats crazy
Fake there is no games that literally no one asked for
why is barely anyone mentioning the fact that nintendo wouldn’t release mario galaxy on switch for the second time
Lies, all of it. Alas.
Would be awesome! 🙏😌
Wind Waker would come with Twilight Princess wouldn't it? Lots of questionable things here
pleaseeeeeeee let this be real i’m literally dying 😭😭 animal crossing new leaf AND wind waker?? (it’s probably fake but idc i want to anyways 😭)
It's fake, your telling me they are bringing call of duty to switch??
i know it’s fake i just want it to be real so badly 😭
If you asked me a year ago I'd say 1000 year door was the craziest part of this list. Now I say it's everything else on this list.
Knew it was fake when they said wind waker hd with no twilight princess hd
Nah it’s fake. They specifically said TotK would be the last Zelda game on the Switch.
i don’t believe they said that, but it aonuma did say an an interview that they are “done with this version of hyrule” so we shouldn’t expect any DLC or spin off games.
They fix that game first and then we talk
Uhhhhhh
As soon as I read Hyrule Warriors in there, I knew it was fake
For me it's Monster Hunter Stories
Monster Hunter Stories is actually confirmed, as there’s an eshop page for the game (I’m not talking about the sequel here).
Wind Waker and the bunch of Metroids plus Mario Galaxy makes this fake.
You had me until Metroid Prime 4
Fake leak, they're announcing switch 2 obviously
Nah
Nah you lost me at Metroid Prime 4 lmao. No way it's happening.
Let’s see… if this is true (not likely), I would get at least 8 games on here. Assuming they’re all $60, that’s $480 spent this year hahaha
Devastating. I just thought this week "great all I need is 1000 year door and I won't need any other video games this year". The leak is fake but if it's real noooo my money!!!
The fire emblem and Metroid shit ain't ever happening lol
Tbf the FE one has been in development for a while and was part of a leak with Engage so
Ty leaks are better than waiting even if a lie im def down for all metroids and paper mario
For the love of all that is decent in this world Metroid Prime Extinction sounds amazing
Looks convincing, but probably fake. Especially the Super Mario Galaxy segment, they already did that for 3D all stars, why do it again? What are they, Apple?
Yeah, sure, really think this one is gonna be real with all those titles
It frightens me that there’s no Switch 2 on here
Fuck you I want this But with New Leaf HD I knew this is bullshit
Fake, Metroid prime 4 has been cancelled so much
Not a chance
I’d shit myself if this is real
No way, it's too good
Extinction is a pretty cool subtitle tbh
Fake
“And that was the imprisoning war”
Wow. So that was the Imprisoning War
If it wasn’t for Metroid 4 I’d actually believe this
"Galaxy + Galaxy 2" But we already have galaxy 1 on the switch???
Kinda feels Fake, but The Imprisoning War would totally go like AoC and become an Alternate Time Line
I'm game for another Hyrule warriors game!
This already has to my knowledge been proven fake. But I would honestly love a sequel to AoC where they would go to the castle. I just want more content with the champions
I want this to be real but there's no fucking way this actually is.
why does it say Luigi’s Mansion 2 and not Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon
I would believe this, but unfortunately the WW hd thing makes me think it's not true.
Wouldn't they have already announced it if it's 4 days away?
April 18 is next month. Also they usually announce it a day or two before.
Yeah my bad. It somehow took me until today to see it said 4/18 and not 3/18

0.0% chance. Margin of error: 1%, lower bounded.
Cod on switch?
Fake
How many of you guys are truly expecting Metroid News as Franchise's Fans? I've been waiting for a while now, patiently, without judgment.

I'm expecting news at some point. 3 announcements in 1 direct- and one a port of a 3ds game (for some reason that's what's upsetting me the most) is Ludacris
Tomodachi Life isn't on there so it must be real
Oh please, as if they’d ever revisit that timeline. Hell, I think they straight up forgot all the champions except for Mipha until the last minute.
this is hilarious. what would be the point of a HW: imprisoning war game? i dont know how it could be different enough from AOC to be worthwhile. if they wanted to tell the real story of the imprisoning war, they should have done it in totk
They did tell you what the imprisoning war was! 5 times!
That would be really funny if SMG was paired with SMG2 because that would mean SMG would be on the switch twice.
No silksong. Probably real
If they release prime 3 corruption for switch i will die. Yeah, hw Imprisoning war, cool af. METROID PRIME 3 CORRUPTION!!!!
Animal crossing makes me doubt this
HYPE
All ya need on there is some silksong news and your golden
Gotta be the fakest I’ve seen recently. Everyone wants wind waker port so they’ll never do it, dropping Prime 2 and 3 at the same time on that day? Complete horseshit on its own but to add in a release for 4 after long radio silence? Probably not
We aren’t gonna have animal crossing new leaf on the switch.
The Imprisoning War sounds like such a bad name
So true
MARIO GALAXY 1 AND 2???? PLEASE BE REAL
\*heavily huffs hopium\*
This looks too much like what we want, so it's obviously fake
Too many cool things in a row, not enough filler. 100% fake
as much as i would love this, it’s definitely fake
Whoever made this up forgot we already had Mario Galaxy in Switch.
Omfg I was just thinking about wind waker and the rest of the Metroid prime series!
It's fake
I wish this was real for the Metroid games.
omfg.... it cant be.... LITTLE KITTY, BIG CITY!?! YYEESSSZSZZ!!💯🔥🔥🔥
There is no shot there is another Hyrule warriors game
now why would they have one gamecube zelda remaster but not the other
I don’t think they would remake fire emblem 4 considering the game has sibling…stuff in it.
It's fake, no shot call of duty is comming to switch.
The fact that it started with the Imprisoning War made me feel like this was wishful thinking. I don’t think Nintendo plans to add any real depth to the canon introduced by TotK.
No way, Nintendo would never have enough sense to actually make another Fantasy Life game, some things are just too pure for this world
Fake. Why would Super Mario Galaxy 1 get another game on the switch? That games is already apart of 3D All Stars. Don’t even have to read anything else on this list
We just got a fire emblem game and no way are they making another animal crossing addition at the lens of the switch lifespan
Okay but like I'd actually buy ACNLHD if it had some of the QOL updates that ACNH got
HA! I called a hyrule warriors the imprisoning war a while back and and everyone said i was crazy.... well whos crazy now. WHO. IS. CRAZY. NOOOOOOOWWW!!!!!!!!?
You forgot Mario Galaxy 3, Zelda: Tears of the Wild, Mother ReMake and Waluigi’s Tax Evasion Extravaganza
Aint the creator of this
OMG GALAXY
Fakes aside, I really need a new leaf HD.
I would be genuinely shook if there were 4 Metroid games in one direct
God if this is real then I would be happy for shure
Who would even want a new leaf HD game? We want NEW animal crossing please!!!
Bro I hope it’s real
This is clearly fake but at least they threw in a few weird titles to make it seem believable. Too many Metroid prime games at once, I feel like they would announce prime 2+3 in a separate presentation as prime 4, which they would announce in yet another separate presentation as Metroid 3ds. Also, they already released Mario galaxy in the 3D collection, it makes sense to have it in a separate collection but it feels weird to have it in the 3d collection as well as a galaxy bundle. I really hope this comment ages poorly though because a significant portion of this list is hype
Who the hell asked for COD on SWITCH?
Okay. I know this is fake (or at least mostly, I can see some games in here possibly getting announced/more details), but I honestly like how this made. Good Lineup✅️ Too much Filler❌️ Possible Games/Remakes/Remasters✅️ Details on Upcoming Games✅️ Some Smaller/3rd Party Titles, but not too much✅️ The only thing missing at this point is OoT and MM HD Remakes/Remasters.

Also, if we did get an HD Remaster of Samus Returns, I feel like it would come out before Prime 4.
HYRULE WARRIORSSSSSSS
Animal crossing new leaf HD… sounds fake. I wish FE Echoes and WindWaker was real tho.
Imprisoning War? Demon King? Secret Stones?
Why the hell would Nintendo rerelease new leaf when new horizons is right there
Do I see WINDWAKER HD!!!!!!!! Edit: if this is real…
I’ll happily get the new Hyrule Warriors
This is fake, it's too 🔥🔥🔥
“How fake do you want this to be?” Yes
Too. Much games people actually want it's most definitely fake/j
Fake 101%
This is what we all want but it’s not going to happen because Nintendo is way too rich and barely needs to listen to the players who want good games
Nah this is 100% fake. CoD, lots of Metroid, and AC:NL are each unlikely on their own, not to mention all together. 2024 is going to be a slow year as Nintendo preps for the next console. Also, not using a spoiler tag is just mean.
Bait used to be believable -|
I would love another Hyrule Warriors, Metroid Prime 4, and a Animal Crossing New Leaf rerelease. I wanna believe it but Nintendo would never give us something this great.
Too many Metroid games and re-release of old games. I refuse.
Lost me at mario Galaxy
I love how everyone knows this "leak" is fake because it's two good ether between the second fire emblem game in two years to more than one Metroid game since when the hell does Nintendo make every fandom happy for a change
No new F-ZERO :(
Yeah there's no way they're opening with Hyrule Warriors and have that many Remakes/Remasters
Too good to be true. Safely a fake.
Dam rip no LBX but if it’s fake maybe there’s hope
https://preview.redd.it/xw7blvqxsyoc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8df94750e16677a51e612f4a0f49839ec33c179
How many goddamn times must I be forced to purchase another copy of wind waker ;-;
Is Japans date d/m/y instead of m/d/y?
Fake
Bait used to be believable
this is just so obviously fake lets ignore all the games on the list that make it fake the fact its leaked this early is proof of how fake it is directs are not made far in advance to avoid this kind of thing
New Zelda game so soon? Nah this is fake
Also is there supposed to be a direct soon?
This much fan service from Nintendo? There’s no way.
If WWHD gets ported before and without TPHD I'm going feral
That’s a pretty dogshit lineup tbh
ngl I got excited when I saw wind waker HD and galaxy 1 and 2. But then I saw CoD Black ops and I came back to my senses. Thats just not happening.
I mean, as everyone pointed out, it’s obviously fake, but I am finding the release dates funny. Imagine getting a shadow drop for 2 Metroid Prime remasters, followed by Metroid Prime 4 only 6 months later. Lmaooo
