Ciaran’s Predictions

1. Animal Crossing for Switch Trailer is shown

Ciaran: Animal Crossing for Switch is announced

Dylan: Technically it has already been announced. It hasn’t had a proper reveal trailer

Ciaran: Ok. Well there will be a proper reveal trailer for Animal Crossing for Switch. It will be one of the big moments of the Nintendo Direct.

Dylan: I think that is a given

Ashley: Or the internet will riot, whichever one Nintendo wants.

Ciaran: I need to do some of these gimmes because of GTA IV Remastered…

Dylan: Fair enough

Ashley: You did that to yourself!

2. Metroid Prime 4 trailer is revealed

Ciaran: We will get a trailer for Metroid Prime 4

Dylan: From Labo to Metroid?

Ashley: To the game that just had a studio come onto it?

Ciaran: Yep. We’ll get a trailer for Metroid. Fuck you.

3. Nintendo announce a new Mario Kart

Ashley: That’s a rework from last year, I’m pretty sure.

Ciaran: Yeah, I tried for it last year so we’re going to go to the well again like Ashley did with his Rocksteady prediction.

Ashley: It’s gotta come true eventually.

Ciaran: Eventually there has got to be a new one. With Crash Team Racing somewhere in the future, they’re thinking about it.

Ashley: I don’t know. We’ve got Sonic Team Racing, now Crash Team Racing. It seems like a lot of racing games or Kart games around the same time.

Ciaran: So it should be Mario Kart Team Racing?

Dylan: Yeah. I’m down.

Dylan’s Predictions

1. Bayonetta 3 release window revealed

Dylan: It’s been a while since we’ve heard what’s happing over there at Bayonetta town. Let’s see what’s up. Give me a release window, tell me a year, tell me period, tell me a winter, tell me a summer, tell me something. Just come whisper sweet Bayonettas into my ear, do you know what I’m saying?

Ashley: Yep. I know what you’re saying. I don’t know what it really means.

2. Metroid Prime Trilogy announced for the Switch

Dylan: Ciaran, let me once again counter your prediction with Metroid Prime Trilogy announced for Nintendo Switch. Ba Dum Tss!

Ashley: Yeah that seems likely.

3. Nintendo announce new Switch hardware

Dylan: Nintendo Switch Pro is announced.

Ashley: I don’t know if that’s an E3 thing.

Dylan: I don’t think that’s a thing right?

Ashley: The Pro is not the one they are going for is it, it is the cheap one?

Dylan: There are rumours of both. Let me cover all bases, new Nintendo Switch is announced. Either way, some new Nintendo Switch hardware is announced

Ashley: Either, I’m not sure E3 is where you announce new hardware for Switch

Dylan: Where does Nintendo announce hardware?

Ashley: Any other time other than E3

Ciaran: Because they didn’t announce the Switch at E3, they announced it at a thing. You know, the thing.

Dylan: Did we know about it ahead of time and they were like “here, tune into this thing to learn about the Switch”?

Ashley: I assume it was a Direct.

Dylan: But this isn’t a new console, this is a XL type thing.

Ciaran: They won’t do hardware now.

Dylan: We’ll see.

Ashley’s Predictions

1. New Super Smash Bros DLC character is revealed from a non Nintendo game

Ashley: We are gonna get the new Super Smash Bros DLC character.

Ciaran: Fuck.

Dylan: Is that it? Is that your total prediction? We are getting a DLC character?

Ashley: Yep

Dylan: Weak. You’re weak. You’re weak.

Ashley: Ok. It will be from a non Nintendo game.

Dylan: Ok I’ll accept that. I was about to say “DLC charcter gets announced for Smash”. Ok. The sky is blue Ash.

2. Pikmin 4 trailer revealed

Ashley: We are going to get a trailer for Pikmin 4.

Dylan: It’s possible.

Ashley: They’ve been working on it.

Dylan: It’s a thing that exists. I like it. I can get down with the jiggy, up jump the boogie woogie (It was a long recording session).

3. Nintendo show a Persona 5 Scramble Gameplay trailer

Ashley: We are going to see Persona 5 for Switch gameplay. Sorry, I misspoke, Persona 5 Scramble for Switch gameplay.

Ciaran: That is such a bait. Wow.

Dylan: The troll never ends.

Ashley: It is going to be great. The music is going to hit. Everyone is going to think for a moment “Is it? Is it? No, it’s Scramble”. And then they’ll tease it at the end again and it won’t be. It’s gonna be great.
