Yes, [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/hollow-knight-silksong']Hollow Knight: Silksong[/URL] has finally been released — leaving fans searching for a fresh game to pin all their hopes and inevitable disappointment on. With a [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/metroid-prime-4-beyond']Metroid Prime 4: Beyond[/URL] release date seeming fairly assured, fans are suggesting some of Nintendo's second-tier series to hope for next. This includes Star Fox (missing in action since 2017's Star Fox 2), Golden Sun (sunset in 2010) and F-Zero (which has only seen the bitesize release of F-Zero 99 since 2004). And [I]what about Mother 3[/I]? Of course, tomorrow's Nintendo Direct will likely feature non-Nintendo games too. Is it time to hope for news on Beyond Good & Evil 2, Ubisoft's space-set sequel that now holds the Guinness World Record for the video game longest in development? You never know. (You probably do know.) This week's big Nintendo Direct airs tomorrow, Friday September 12, at 6am Pacific, 9am Eastern or 2pm UK time. It's set to be a bumper show, too, with an hour of announcements — and fan hopes of some big reveals by Nintendo are high. Beyond this year (and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is still slated for 2025, last we checked) we know relatively little of what Nintendo has cooking for Switch 2. There's spinoff Splatoon: Raiders and FromSoftware exclusive The Duskbloods. But beyond those, Nintendo's plans for the future remain under wraps. The timing of a Direct tomorrow is also interesting — as many fans have pointed out — as it comes on the eve of Super Mario Bros.' 40th anniversary.
