TOPHATANT123:
I think a Fire Emblem Echoes is a good bet, since Intelligent Systems have probably been working on something FE related.

For Smash I'm really feeling Astral Chain. I feel like the moveset writes itself.

BOTW 2 I'm going to say is a no show, they can probably fill the 50 minutes without it.

Luigi Dude:
I'd say if Nintendo is confident BOTW 2 will be out this year, we're getting a trailer. Zelda always gets more hype then other Nintendo franchises and it's announcement trailer was over 1.5 years ago.

I think Smash character will either be Crash to go with the recent announcement of the Switch port of Crash 4 or a Monster Hunter character to go with Rise.

Since it's also the first Direct since Sep 2019, which was the Direct that SNES games being added to Switch online was announced we're getting new systems added. Since Mario 3D All-Stars shows Nintendo has a working N64, Gamecube and Wii emulator, we're getting all 3 systems added in April. But a new pricing tier will be added to play them. I'm going to say about $60 a year to access them since these games are meatier then NES/SNES and adding online play to games like Mario Kart 64 and Smash Bros Melee is something that Nintendo knows people will pay good money for.

Maybe Gameboy games added to the $20 price range?

Metriod V from Mercury Steam will be announced and will be a May release. That games been in development since Samus Returns was finished in 2017 so there's a great chance it close to completion by now.

broodwars:
I'm not convinced that Nintendo are done with the Wii U ports, and there's still one notable one remaining: Yoshi's Woolly World. I think there's a good chance a Switch port gets announced tomorrow. It fits in well with the "Spring" theme.

Breath of the Wild 2 will be the closer since Nintendo wants to focus on titles coming out in the 1st half of 2021, and Zelda WILL be a November title since it doesn't have a release date already.

The Smash Character? I've got a good feeling about Rayman for some reason, though who knows these days with Nintendo & Smash. They wasted slots on Sephy and MineCraft Guy (yes, I know his name is Steve. I don't care). Nintendo's clearly out of fucks to give regarding Smash slots.

I think we get a new trailer & release date for No More Heroes 3.

I think Bayonetta 3 finally gets a new trailer & possibly a release date. We haven't heard about that game for a while, and unlike Metroid Prime 4 it actually still has a chance in Hell of releasing on the Switch.

A Pikmin 4 announcement wouldn't surprise me, considering 3 got a recent Switch port.

I think we see a new system added to the Nintendo Switch Online program, most likely the N64 or GameBoy.

I believe we're now in the 35th Anniversary Year of Zelda, so it's time to break out the Zelda All Star Collection in time to get pulled from all virtual store shelves 3 months later.

Honestly, I can't think of much else. There's so much Nintendo's been working on that we don't know about. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the much-rumored Switch Pro/Switch Successor get announced.

Adrock:
I don't think we get a Breath of the Wild sequel trailer. Nintendo doesn't need it right now. I'm on the fence on if Nintendo will do a 35th anniversary for Zelda. I kind of feel like we got one for Mario because the 25th anniversary was 100% ass. At the same time, it would be a perfect opportunity for Nintendo to unleash a torrent of Zelda ports/remasters. I can see Nintendo packaging Ocarina of Time (with Master Quest) and Majora's Mask together then releasing Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, and Skyward Sword HD individually for $59.99 because **** y'all.

Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda is easy money for Nintendo. I don't need that and I don't even like the original Zelda, but I'll take eight. Include the dual-screen Zelda Game & Watch, you cowards.

Super Mario Bros. 35 will be replaced by............ Super Mario Bros. 50. Thanks for stress testing Nintendo's servers, everyone!

Elma will be the next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter. Monolith Soft's stock has never been higher. Nintendo will port Xenoblade Chronicles X, one of the few big Wii U titles that hasn't been ported to Switch. This is easy marketing for the game. I'd 100% take Crash Bandicoot or Lara Croft for trolling purposes though.

Metroid Prime Trilogy will launch first. Metroid: Samus Returns will launch sometime after it. We're not getting Metroid V, Luigi Dude. Stop trying to give me hope. It's mean.

There's a rumor going around of a timed exclusive Resident Evil on Switch to be released after Resident Evil: Step On Me, Giant Vampire Lady. We're getting that trailer tomorrow.

Shaymin:
At least two zombie franchises will come to Switch. And RE won't be one of them: the scuttlebutt was Revelaitons 3 for next year as a timed Switch exclusive so it probably wouldn't come up now (plus Capcom has Rise and Step On Me Mommy to market).
