The first Nintendo Direct\u00a0<\/strong>since 2019 has come and gone, where games like Splatoon 3<\/em> and\u00a0Mario Golf: Super Rush<\/em> took the stage. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> got its next DLC character<\/a>, and a ton of little things also appeared. However, it would seem a few highly-anticipated games weren’t there.<\/p>\n

Some of this may come at a later date this year, while some may further out yet. For the first big Nintendo Direct of 2021<\/a>, it wasn’t packed with its biggest hitters.<\/p>\n

Recent rumors have suggested everything from new Pokemon Sword<\/em> and Shield<\/em> DLC and Diamond<\/em> and Pearl<\/em> Remakes<\/a> to Let’s Go Johto<\/em> and more. However, nothing Pokemon<\/em>-related appeared at the show, not even New Pokemon Snap<\/em> which is just a few months away.<\/p>\n

This may be for good reason though. February 27, 1996, is the 2th anniversary of Pokemon<\/em>, and while celebrations like the McDonald’s Promo<\/a> are already starting, there’s a good chance video game-focused announcements are coming at their own event via Nintendo and The Pokemon Company. It wouldn’t be the first time that a “smaller” Nintendo Direct followed a main one, so it’ll be interesting to see.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Many may be upset that Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2<\/em> technically wasn’t there, but that fan desire was addressed. Instead of Breath of the Wild<\/em>, fans did get a announcement for Skyward Sword HD<\/em> on the Switch<\/a>, but with the 35th anniversary of the franchise being this Sunday (February 21), it may find itself in its own book.<\/p>\n

Assuming celebration theoretically happen any time this year, more BotW2<\/em> news is expected in 2021 and even more Zelda<\/em> games. After the Direct, it was said that Wind Waker<\/em> and Twilight Princess<\/em> are coming to the Switch<\/a>, and while that should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems likely that more is in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In short, Metroid Prime 4<\/em> is effectively Nintendo’s Elden Ring<\/em><\/a>.<\/em> Metroid Prime<\/em> is something that’s going to be clamored for every time an event happens, but it’s one that’s not likely to appear even soon. Announced 4 years ago, Metroid Prime 4<\/em> dominated the conversation until its development restarted, which has kept it on everyone’s radar but has limited any news for it. This is especially true given COVID-19, but fans shouldn’t expect it any time this year.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

If Metroid Prime 4<\/em> was the biggest missing game that wouldn’t reasonably be there, Shin Megami Tensei<\/em> is the one that would have likely been there, but was not. Nintendo discussed games all the way out until 2022, but Shin Megami Tensei 3<\/em> is set for Spring 2021 for PS4 and Switch. That window and an announcement for it is quickly closing; at the same time, Shin Megami Tensei 5<\/em> is set for a similar time period, “early this year.” At this rate, this may not seem likely, though it’s not ruled out quite yet.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Bayonetta 2<\/em> released back in 2014, and 7 years later, Bayonetta 3<\/em> is still somewhat MIA. It was announced at The Game Awards 2017, but a recent interview suggested Bayonetta 3<\/em> fans<\/a> should “forget” about it until later this year. Still, saying it was coming later this year and then appearing here would’ve been a “surprise” as teased, but ultimately, that’s not the case. Based on the aforementioned interview, it would seem information is coming this year, but there’s still plenty of time left to see it.<\/p>\n
