Nintendo Direct PREDICTIONS June 18th 2024 

That "I'll investigate it" tweet from Pyoro might just be a hint to an Ace Attorney Investigation collection. They are spin-off games that include Pheonix Wright's rival Miles Edgeworth as playable character. It would make sense for those games, being the final two games that aren't on modern consoles, to be released again. Investigations 2 also never got an official localization, so that would actually be exciting.

Pyoro was hinting at ace attorney investigations collection coming, you seemed to miss that completely lol. It’s why they capitalized the word investigations.

You knew about the new 2D Zelda! You fucking knew! No way you just "guessed" that one!

Man, can't wait for new Smash speculation. This is when this channel is at it's absolute peak and a new Smash will make PapaGeno's an huge name in the game.

Pyoro’s post about ace attorney is a hint towards what ace attorney game it is. The word investigations is the name of the spin-off games that never got fully localized, starring Edgeworth

Alright fellas, check the corner thumbnails and see his background for hints

Jesus christ a 40 minute Direct with no mention of the new Switch. The hell is coming out in the second half of the year.

20:56 wait…. WAIT…. if there’s anything that’s a hint, it’s THAT

literally was thinking about this videos existence a minute ago and here it is lol

17:10 Tomorrow isn't JULY 18 tho lmao, the game will take a month to release still

I don't know an "official" pronunciation for Pokémon Legends Z-A, but I like 'Zee-Ah"

New smash bros content would be crazy. This Nintendo direct sounds like it could be huge.

It's cool to see a new Smash "leak" with an image like that after so long. Axel coming to Smash would be so awesome! Just imagining Streets of Rage music in Smash makes me happy.

if we get a new smash game (or if they decide to keep updating ultimate for the switch 2 life cycle with new content) i hope we start seeing indie reps in smash. indie games have made up such a large part of gaming in recent years and while its cool to see them as mii costumes, I think its time we start seeing a few join the roster as full playable fighters.

Oh wow, I haven't watched your channel in a second! I love the updated intro theme ;v;!

No way investigations is coming to the switch 😍

Guessing what a game could be based on its code name's relationship to other code names is my favorite genre of speculation

Dude I am so happy to see your intro again :)

As mentioned before, I believe Mamaeda No Bakeru (Likely localized as Bakeru The Tanuki) will show up. Goodfeel's recent action platformer and successor to the Goemon series (Namely Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on N64) had its fan translation Cease-and-desisted. This is a new IP and still incredibly niche, so I don't see why it would be seen as a threat to anything official from Goodfeel unless it was being localized officially. It's a genuine 9/10 game and has a lot of familiar Nintendo charm to it, namely reminds me a lot of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. If you're into cutesy action platformers with creative level design and a bunch of collectibles to find, it's super good.

I'll Investigate It. Ace Attorney Investigations. Dude.

Honestly I would be pumped if Kid Icarus Uprising got an updated port for Switch, if any game that needs the spotlight let alone a glow up, it's that often overlooked 3DS classic. The game itself I would argue is one of the most memorable experiences on the handheld that I wish more people gave a chance to, hopefully it will get that chance.

All Amiibos have been getting restocked. Not just Zelda and Ganon. They've been constantly restocking amiibos for the last year. So I don't think there will be a plan to phase them out. Because they make too much money on them.

Honestly with Lego Horizons coming to the Nintendo Switch it wouldn't actually surprise me if the reason that's happening is to get Alloy into Smash

if a new mario party happens, then pauline will definitely be playable, also, sony owned characters will never ever be allowed to be in smash, sony will not allow it ever

If that 4chan leak were to be real, then it would confirm the Switch 2 being revealed sooner rather than later. Cause a smash game have been on every Nintendo console since the first, and has never doubled up onto a single system

Funny enough iirc the guy behind yakuza has said he doesn’t want Kiryu in smash because he doesn’t want him hitting women (didn’t really stop him from getting into PXZ2 but still) also I’d kill for just a little bonus pass to get Dante, not crazy on the other two, personal dream 3 pack would be like Dante, Reimu, and like Kratos, but still he was my main hope all the way up to Kazuya! Not gonna get my hopes up but man that’d be sick

As far as retro characters I want Crash Bandicoot And Ryu Hyabusa in Smash but I'm not getting My hopes up the last game all throughout the fighters passes basically Sakurai And Nintendo showed they didn't really want to add western 3rd party characters outside of Banjo And a good chunk of the internet gaming community would crap on Anyone who genuinely wanted Crash as a fighter in the game without being toxic about wanting Him in heck even Harada said He would tell Sakurai to never add Crash Bandicoot to Smash because of 1 Toxic fan so I'm not getting My hopes up that He will ever be a fighter anymore.

I don't think the next Smash will be announced before the Nintendo Switch successor is revealed.

Unrelated, but I gotta say it's been quite a while since I last watched your videos. I was searching for direct leak/speculation videos and randomly stumbled upon your channel after not watching you for so long. I remember regularly watching your Smash speculation videos before Ultimate's release and during its first DLC cycle. My favorites were the Banjo leak videos you made back before his announcement in Smash since he was my most wanted character. Glad to see you're still active.

multiversus for switch!!!

Looking forward to this direct!

I just really hope we get another Mario Baseball game

Metroid Prime 4 PLEASE Edit: I WAS RIGHT

honestly would be super mega happy if we get 3 new fighters and a new story mode of sorts added for all dlc characters with perhaps 5 new bossfights and a bunch new challenges and it gets a gold edition release which will have all dlc content including that one included on card

I’m super excited! excited to see if legends za shows up!

The Investigations part was the dead giveaway to me. I figured it was those specifically, because the character that was used as a tease in question is actually reaally important in context to Miles Edgeworth (being a fangirl of sorts of his) i figured if it was AA7 that literally anyone of the main cast could have been used. It's odd to have her specifically. And despite being in a survey, it definitly wont be a remake of the original trilogy. Miles is the main character of the Investigations games and they were rereleased on iOS in Japan before so... yup.

PapaGenos is based for that 2D Zelda call. Well done, man!!!! 💯💯💯

I have a theory about the code named Anna, given that the game code named Elsa was a Switch version of a Wii sports, perhaps this Anna game is a Switch version of Wii Party, as we’re clearly not getting another Switch Sports before the next console, maybe we’ll get another fan favorite Wii game, and maybe that’s the game Smileboom is working on.

My direct predictions: 1)star fox 99 2) Opens on Kid Iccarus Uprising HD 3)ends on Prime 4 reveal. 4) Prime 2 and 3 remastered 5Legend of Zelda in the style of links awakening, starting Zelda, like you “predicted” 6) Ace Attorney Investigations collection. I want 7, but at this point capcom will make us wait I’m betting. 7) Dragon Quest Edrick trilogy. 8)Live a live 2 9) Legends Z-A starter reveal and Pokemon presents announced for next week. 10) Mario Party superstars 2. Better character roster, boards from the GameCube era. 11) Mario and Sonic at the Paris Olympics. 12) F-Zero Gx remastered 13) TYD DLC/ Free Update. 14) “thank you for watching today, please keep in mind we will showcase the switch successor in August

The Next Super Smash Bros. Game is happening for sure!

It's hard to say for the Mario & Sonic games series since the original team behind those are now split.

I think it would be great to announce Smash 64 for NSO in this Direct, since we'll probably have to wait for the next console for more Smash, giving people the option to go back to the very first Smash game while we wait for the next would be great, especially considering Smash turned 25 this same year

I can't wait for tomorrow!!!

Being an Ace Attorney fan and seeing a definitive hint/leak from someone who's track racord is flawless is truly quite the sight to behold. Thanks for the vids, Papa!! Glad to see you're back :)

Nice work on the 2d Zelda prediction!

I'm not sure if nintendo would want to announce the next smash game before even giving their next console a proper reveal, but hey, anything could happen

I don't think we will see anymore olympic games with a Mario and Sonic because the original developer said that Tokyo's was going to be the last one

Good round up sort of video. There's been so many buzz words and titles thrown around recently in the leaking sphere it's been hard to keep up.

You knew about the Zelda game? Woah.

Come on, Papa. You do the capital letter hint thing too! He's talking about Ace Attorney Investigations lol

If Smash happens imagine if we got Mario in it. That would be awesome.

Tomodachi life for Switch is the one game I'm always hoping gets announced, ninetdo directs in the summer are usually the heavy hitters so let's see what happens.

finally about time olympic games is back mario and sonic again finally rivals in olympic games after soooooo long Paris Olympic games nice Mario and Sonic at the Paris Olympic games

Nintendo could go out of business or Sakurai could die and this guy would still be using 4chan leaks to say we’re about to get more Smash stuff

New Smash? Welp, another long wait of hoping for Shantae.

Just coming back here to say kudos for calling Zelda!

I predict a new Mario 3D switch game, new Mario Sports switch game, new Mario Party, and new Mario & Sonic Olympics this 2024 since Paris coming this July through August 2024.

we are getting a Madou Monogatari game on the switch this summer, so I think that will show up in the direct

I saw some Ace Attorney remake (I think, I'm not familiar with this series) in the upcoming games section on the eshop this morning, at least in the European eshop, but it seems to have been removed for now

Lego Horizon Adventures coming to Switch was a shock and the possibility of her joining Smash in the future as a PlayStation Rep is definitely there.

Now it will TRULY be a surprise when we get Silksong, Silksong 2 and Silksong 3

It’s possible they could talk about nintendo world opening up in orlando as well

I don’t really get why you brought up that Smash 4chan leak. What makes that one any more credible than the thousands of other fake image leaks? Unless… you bringing it up at all in the first place is another one of your hints?

My personal guess is a wild out there prediction! I think we will see a reminder about Spy x Anya XD

If we do get a Nintendo Switch Sports related game, I think it would be “Nintendo Switch Play” as a follow-up to Wii Play and Wii Play Motion.

It's been awhile!

This is the first direct in a long time where I don’t have any expectations whatsoever, and it doesn’t seem like a bad thing. Hopefully it’s a good sendoff for the Switch.

the fact that Nintendo made us return to MK8D after YEARS, gives me hope for new smash characters tbh, but i am hoping for Dixie, Krystal or Shadow the edgelord

I really hope we get more NSO games!

The only ways I'd see a new Smash Bros getting revealed is by a Metroid Prime 4 teaser style reveal, but without listing the platform (because it's not announced yet). Games for Switch were announced back when it was still the NX. 2 of them being Dragon Quest 11 (iirc) and Sonic Forces, so it's not entirely out of the blue. And i might be terribly misremembering, but i remember Nintendo did announce a Smash Bros before the console it would be on got revealed. That or some type of Spin off relating to Smash Bros. But I'm more on the camp that i dont really think we'll get anything Smash Bros.

As long as i get Zelda or Kingdom Hearts on Switch physically im good

It would be amusing if we got a trailer for the rumored Final Fantasy IX remake tomorrow as part of the Direct, before any of the other console direct equivalents.

If this Smash thing is legit (which i HEAVILY doubt) it would actually be a banging comeback. Devil May Cry, Ninja Gaiden and mf Streets of Rage?? We get a new Sega IP, our 3rd Capcom rep and friggin Koei Tecmo? They all would be so dope. But again, i doubt it will happen. Then again Smash Ultimate was seen as unrealistic before it was revealed and look where we are now. Anything can happen. If Super Mario RPG (which id absolutely love DLC for, i reaally loved my time with it and am super eager for the post game stuff. Somehow beat Culex' first fight on my first attempt being somewhat prepared) and TTYD remake showed me anything, it's that absolutely anything can and eventually will happen.

I'd love nothing more than more N64, GBA and SNES games coming to NSO, particularly Diddy Kong Racing, the Sonic Advance trilogy and Chrono Trigger.

We’re getting more dlc for nasb2 is therr any leaks about the new characters before their announcement

Please oh PLEASE just dance 2025 🙏🙏🙏

That leaker who wanted those new fighters for smash really wants them in. Although, we got Dante in the form of a Mii costume, I'm just not sure for an extra fighters pass in this direct. I'm unsure if Sony would want their own characters like Aloy in smash.

I think the “Edward” codename COULD be a remake or a translation of the inspiration for Link’s Awakening (which never left Japan), For the Frog the Bell Tolls… especially because one of the characters in it was named… Edward.

Thanks Papa

I’m predicting either F-Zero GX Remaster or content updates for F-Zero 99

🙃This is ***not*** a predictions video; this is just a rumor Roundup and what games are potentially in development and releasing soon....

I would like to ask when did you hear the info about prime 4 coming out in fall? Cause I know Switch 2 was probably supposed to come out this fall or at least sometime this year before we heard a few months back that it was delayed to 2025. So if you heard Prime 4 was gonna be in the fall before the delay happened it could point to it being tied in with the Switch 2 and being cross gen or something. We will probably see tomorrow if that’s the case or not because if it does release this fall just on switch then it probably doesn’t have a substantial switch 2 version that isn’t just a simple upgrade, Nintendo probably wouldn’t want to undercut a launch title like that by releasing the game months before hand.

I'm hoping for more stuff about yokai watch 5

Fingers crossed for House of the Dead and Metroid Prime 4.

else and anna in nintendo switch sports? huh

I think the “Anna” code name might be for Wii Party or Tomodachi life. With switch sports’ code name being “Elsa” and Wii sports being connected to Wii party/ tomodachi life due to miis, I feel like we’re going to get one of those two in this direct.

There probably won’t be a new 3D Mario game in the spirit of 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, and Odyssey until they’re ready to discuss the new console. Also, Legends ZA is off the table here as well.

i’ll be happy for others if it happens but i dont want a zelda zelda game 😭

20:00 4chan "leaks" are back. It's 2018 all over again 🤣

Pokemon ZA will be shown in the Pokemon Presents August 20th.

My personal wishlist would be to see a new Mario Baseball or Mario Party game, and Tomodachi Life sequel for Switch! Also, it's possible there could be something Donkey Kong in the Direct, that is, related to Super Nintendo World's Donkey Kong Country expansions that have been confirmed. Also, it's possible the Namco Bandai team is actually working on the next Mario Kart? I would presume for Switch successor, so wouldn't be shown off at the Direct

I always wish for this before and I'll still wish for it to this very day. I'm personally hoping for a sequel to Kid Icarus uprising. We are long overdue for a brand new Kid Icarus game. But we will just have to wait and see.

Only thing on the Studio 2/S job listings. They were closed all the way back in Feb. Its not a recent thing.

Idk why I feel like you really just teased us mother fans

I'm really hoping we see Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac tomorrow

My predictions and wish lists are that Konami might announce the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2, a Tokimeki Memorial collection, and the localization of Power Pros (Pawapuro) in some form, even if its that mobile spin-off which is also coming to PS4 and Switch at a later date. From the Sega side of things, ATLUS might announce some more remasters or ports of their older games and Sega in general might accounce ports of older Sakura Wars games in the form of a collection in the direct as well. All of these (except the Metal Gear Vol. 2) are also part of my wishlists as well. All these might seem unlikely to appear at the direct, but you'll never know what could happen at a direct. They tend have some unexpected announcements at times. Come on Konami! Please give me those two announcements (Tokimeki and Pawapuro) and I will very happy!

A new Smash rn might spell bad news for Multiversus depending on how things go

Is it true that midori/mysticdistance was partially responsible for the grinch leak

Oh ok im coming to the stream tomorrow morning 🌄

20:25 screw that give me brawl HD
