Stratos:
Time to get your bets in for the Nintendo Direct Megaton on 2021!

ZELDA
Mention of Zelda's 35th to pick up where Mario's ends, including some game announcements.
4 Swords Anniversary Edition will re-release on Switch.
New trailer and info for Breath of the Wild 2.
DLC plans announced for Age of Calamity.
3D Zelda games released not as an All-Stars collection (Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword)
We get a DS Zelda Collection instead.
We'll get another Direct down the road that is Zelda themed to cover more details.

MARIO
New Mario Party Announced. New Mario Odyssey/3D sequel announced.
Plan to rerelease Galaxy 2 either as an add-on for 3D All-Stars or stand alone.
Mario Golf Announced.

OTHER
Something Fire Emblem related is announced. Maybe a new Warriors game.
Another Wii U port is announced.
Something racing game related announced. Either DLC for Mario Kart 8 or Home Circuit (new racers for that?) or a different racing game like F-Zero or Excite Truck or Diddy Kong Racing.
Ports of Pikmin 1 & 2 with a reveal that Pikmin 4 is coming.
Fighter Pass expanded again in Smash
Pokemon announcement that is both shocking an unsurprising. Details will be lacking until a future Pokemon related Direct
Order.RSS:
Some fairly safe bets:
- Bravely Default 23 gets one last push.
- Monster Hunter Rise thanking their demo players.
- Smash Bros. announces a new character, detailed Mr. Sakurai TED talk later this month.
- Animal Crossing's March update detailed maybe?
- New Pokémon Snap shown again, still looking hella cute!!
- Persona Strikers 5 is out in a week, that'll be shown for sure.
- Balan WonderWorld will be there despite our protests.
- Apex Legends.
- Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning.
- Indie highlight reel: Thomas Was Alone, Anodyne 2, Cris Tales.
- It's About Time we see... Crash Bandicoot 4  8)

Realm of possibilities:
- New Kirby platformer from the Star Allies team.
- If No More Heroes III is a ~June/July release I expect we'll hear it here.
- Among Us gets exclusive Nintendo content, probably hats like Cappy.
- Mario Golf (or another sport?) gets a new installment.
- Fall Guys maybe?
- Dare we invoke Hollow Knight 2: Silksong?

Moonshot hopes and dreams:
- F-Zero NX (30 player online battle royale Death Race)
- Kirby Air Ride online CITY TRIAL packaged into Switch Online to replace Mario Bros. 35
- Nintendo reassembles Treasure, greenlights Sin & Punishment 3

Not shown:
BOTW 2, Metroid Prime 4 and/or Trilogy, Bayonetta 3, Pokémon Diamond/Pearl remakes. Those have Summer/E3 written all over them.
Expecting this Direct to be about their March-June/July slate, and the big hitters there are Mario 3D World, Monster Hunter Rise, and a Smash Bros. character. To stay on a monthly schedule, Pokémon Snap, Bravely Default, and maybe a Kirby and/or Mario Sports title are there to plug the gaps.
Stratos:
I just remembered that Nintendo did a video for Fire Emblem's anniversary just a week or so ago getting together a number of voice actors for the series and it seemed to tease something else was coming, so maybe we'll see two more anniversary celebrations this year and even more content from Fire Emblem dropping. Maybe we get the next in these not-VC not-Switch Online remasters of old Fire Emblem games?
nickmitch:
Mario Kart Tour seems pretty popular, so I'm hoping Nintendo finally decides to finally get mobile players into console buyers/users with some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC.

Other than that, calling out Smash Bros makes me think we'll see two characters or one and a new game mode.  At the very least, a timeline of when we can expect these last three characters.

Ring Fit Adventure may see some more updates too.

My prediction is that unless they have 3 more characters ready to go, This is when they'll delay the end of the second fighter's pass.

We're also going to see the beginning of the year 2 content plans for Animal Crossing. Hopefully now that they have all the holiday stuff rolled out we'll see more content added to the base game like villager interactions or gyroids.
