So what are we expecting to see in June?
This seems like the last chance to announce a Switch release for Metroid Prime 4. If we don't see it, I'll assume it was pushed to the next console.
I thought the rumors of a remake for Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War sounded likely. FE 4 and 5 have both never been remade and never officially been made available in English, but 4 is popular in Japan and Sigurd had a relatively prominent role in Engage compared to most of the other Emblems. However, we haven't heard anything about it, so if we don't hear about it in June I'll assume they aren't doing it.
Star Fox tends to launch at the end of a console’s life… so there’s that maybe.
Sakurai has been up to something… probably the next Smash, but I can always dream it’s a new or even remade Kid Icarus.
And probably some last minute WiiU ports.
Metroid Prime 4 is probably too high profile to leave to the switch… (and Mario hasn’t had a launch title since the N64, maybe GCN at a stretch) but they could always pull a Twilight Princess I suppose.
Assuming BC is confirmed on the new platform I would be willing to buy a Wind Waker / Twilight Princess double pack.
Really hoping one of those is Xenoblade X. The end of 3 made it look like they're merging all the Xeno games, and X is the only one from Blade that's not on the Switch.
Great point about Sakurai. He's doing regular youtube videos, but there's a good chance he has some smaller pet project. Something like Kid Icarus that he's wantes to work on but was too busy with Smash.
