Agreed. she was okay in crazy rich asians, but the moment she did other stuff...i am sorry but her persona reminds me of Tipton chick from suite life of zack and cody as a matter of fact...let's get that lady to do the role instead.
Once again your creativity with game concepts and logos is a treat to watch, and there's just so much fun stuff to predict heading into this year. Neo is a great name, and turning the Switch logo into an "N" was very clever. All these announcements are pretty much the best case scenario for me, although I'm weirdly hoping for an Ocarina of Time remake to show off the power of Zelda on the new hardware. (Even though I know everyone's kind of sick of remakes.) Next time I listen to Protendo predicting the upcoming year for Nintendo, I will own a Switch 2.
@@Protendo,A Super Mario 3D All Stars 2,which includes Super Mario 64 DS,Super Mario Galaxy 2 & Super Mario 3D Land,is Actually More likely to Celebrate The Series 40th Anniversary,Because Nintendo themselves are Very Unpredictable like that as it comes to the releases & release Windows of the Major Games of their Biggest franchises,don’t you agree?,about the Company’s Unpredictability!
So glad to see u uploading!! I just found ur channel but I hope there’s tons of videos to come. I personally hope they make tomodachi life for the switch 2 lol
I'm not as active in the gaming space, but every time you predict things they just become canon in my brain until they don't happen. Except by then I've probably forgotten the predictions anyway and just look forward to your next prediction video.
Already looking pretty good tbh. Yeah the title wasn’t right but you did the idea of a switch 2 reveal in January, a switch 2 direct, and Mario kart being at the forefront of the showcase. Look foward to seeing what comes next ^^ I still have my doubts that the switch 2 direct will be THIS crazy but only time will tell 😊
That little "Find her" guitar in the bottom right corner for december :) I love how creative you are & how you keep putting that and your work out here for us to discuss / enjoy! I'm not a very huge pokémon - person either and it's really unrealistic at this point but oh, what I'd give for PokéPark 3..
Fun video! Just gotta say, you really have a knack for game titles. DKC Sunset Curse, Kirby and the Shattered Realm, and AC Rising Heights all have a great ring to them.
Okay I'm sorry but Kirby and the Shattered Realm what the heck is that I'm not sure about the logo for it since it's all made up as well as the story which doesn't make sense cause I think the sequel for Kirby and the Forgotten Land should be called Kirby and the Forgotten Land 2 or Kirby and the Forgotten World and maybe they can like bring back Clawroline and Elfilin and make them as playable characters like Kirby's new Allies or Dream Friends and the story would be about The Ancients taking over Waddle Dee Town and then Kirby, Elfilin, Bandana Waddle Dee, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and The Beast Pack to stop The Ancients from taking over Waddle Dee Town and the Forgotten Lands now that would be cool if they did it like that.
6:48 Froakie is from Pokemon X and Y, which means that he's not mixed up. The other two are both from Sinnoh which I will accept seeing how there is only one legends game to base rules off of but it's pretty clear that GameFreak will probably choose starters from 3 different regions instead of only 2
You put a lot of effort into those logos. They look legit! Personally, I'm hoping for new 3D platformers in general. Mario, Kirby, and DK are my biggest desires but I'd be down for more!
I would like to see what they can do for the sequel for Kirby and the Forgotten Land because I would like to see Elfilin and Clawroline being playable characters like being Kirby new Allies or Dream Friends and another thing I hope they change King Dedede's design instead of using that Club Penguin design of him so I hope they do change his design in the next Kirby Game
6:07 If you are wondering, in Kirby lore, President Haltmann loses his daughter, Susie, to "another dimension" (The location is named "another dimension", this dimension is not just a random dimension, it is really important to the lore) President Haltmann, devastated from the loss of his daughter starts mechanizing planets using The Access Ark. Eventually Susie escapes "another dimension" by unexplained reasons This prologue could flesh out how Susie escaped "another dimension" and her time there sort of how Magolor's Epilogue told us a lot more about Magolor and how he has his powers in Kirby Star Allies.
You know it would be cool if they have like Susie trying to find Kirby's Robobot Suit and bringing back to Kirby after the events with Star Dream and it would be cool to see Susie actually using the Robobot Suit but this idea works fine too because it does make sense of how President Haltmann lost his daughter from being in another dimension and how he's trying to mechanize all the planets with using The Access Ark so yeah I like this idea you have it's pretty cool
I have to say, you really manage to make everything in the video look really legit. Like all the logos and titles look incredibly polished and feel like you're actually a time traveller who's stealing stuff from the future (also Nintendo Switch NEO is a name I would far prefer over Nintendo Switch 2)
First time viewer, really enjoyed your work. Not sure about some of those gameplay details but I think the release schedule feels very plausible. Two things I do differ significantly on though, I think they will push original switch harder than this, there will be some big games that release on switch (like the next Pokémon) doesn't matter how fast the uptake on the new console is, they can't replace the whole install base overnight - most of the biggest titles will be exclusive to the new console, to encourage the transition, but not all (although maybe it will be mostly ports) - the other thing is that Nintendo really lean into the financial year, so the mario anniversary year actually runs until March, so I think there will be more Mario - a collection (a new all stars) a battle royale (Mario 40) and a casual title (Dr Mario). I also think we get reveals of Splatoon 4 and Luigi's Mansion 4
i don't think Nintendo would go for something sorta edgy-cool like "Neo," but i do like the idea of having a suffix that works on its own. like, just calling it "The Neo" (while all the official sources keep calling it The Nintendo Switch Neo every single time)
Stellar line up of concepts and ideas, if even one of these games (check the icon for which one) came true, I’d be ecstatic. But uh… already looking like the right ideas hit a snag, lol. Also, gonna be the Pokémon fan to explain why the starters you picked weren’t mixed well. Froakie is from the XY region, so it’s one of the few Pokémon we could assume won’t be there as a starter. Assume since who knows if they’ll do the same thing. But Turtwig and Chimchar are also both from Diamond and Pearl. Still, going back to the top, this was a very fun prediction video. Excellent work!
Happy New Year Protendo! Here are my predictions for 2025: I want to see what Switch 2 looks like. For Mario's 40th Anniversary I hope we get Mario 3D and Mario Kart 9 or X. The roster for Mario Kart should include Kirby, who also has Warp Star, as well as a Dreamland track. I hope they release Luigi's Mansion 4, new Wario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Paper Mario games. Oh, and either a sequel or a new Mario Super Sluggers. 21:31 I like the name Kirby and the Shattered Realm. It sounds great, and in it, Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede, and Meta Knight are on a broken Planet Popstar, and they go through parallel worlds where they can see a returned Parallel Susie. That would be cool. Also, I think the next 3D Kirby game, a sequel to Kirby and the Forgotten Land, is about the Ancients taking over Waddle Dee Town and all the lands. They do it, and so Kirby, Elfilin, Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and the Beast Pack join forces to stop them. The new characters that could be playable in this, in addition to Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee, are Elfilin, Clawroline, Meta Knight, and King Dedede. They’d give us new copy abilities and upgrades, new mouthful modes, and new lands to explore. I remember you made another prediction, a Kirby game called Cosmic Bridge, which takes place after Kirby and the Forgotten Land or Magolor Epilogue. In it, Kirby is helping to save his home planet, Planet Popstar, from the Ancients who captured his friends. It would be a surprise if they showed us it two months in March, but that didn’t happen. They can show us that fake leaked 2D Kirby Game Kirby and the Celestial Star and telling us who this Susie-related Kirby female character Polly about how she got here and meet Kirby and if she is Susie's sister or something. We can get new games like Donkey Kong, Wario, Yoshi, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda, and Punch-Out but I don't know. I hope we can see GameCube come to the NSO on Switch 2. 5:49 I know a HD remake or a Deluxe version of Kirby Planet Robobot is coming to Switch this year but I'm not gonna buy it unless they can add Kirby Triple Deluxe with Kirby Planet Robobot and make it a two-pack Collection so then we would have all the Modern Kirby Games in one console so that would make me happy if they do that this year. But, I do like the title of the name for Susie's Side Story Mode called Susie Prologue A Mechanist Adrift and seeing what happened to Susie when she was in another dimension and how President Haltmann mechanized the planets because of how he lost his daughter when she was in another dimension but I think it would be cool if they make Susie try finding Kirby's Robobot Armor and bringing it back to Kirby after the events with Star Dream and it would be cool seeing Susie actually using the Robobot Armor which that would be awesome. And, I do like the title for it being called Kirby Planet Robobot Deluxe and it would make sense to launch it in April because in April 28th will be the Kirby Planet Robobot's 9th Anniversary so it would make sense to launch it on it's original launch and maybe we could see a Amiibo for Susie to go along with Kirby Planet Robobot that would be cool. And I do hope we get to see a remake or a sequel for Tomodachi Life come to Nintendo Switch and adding the Miitopia Mii Maker in it so then we would have both Miitopia and Tomodachi Life on Switch now that would be cool for next year. But yeah I hope this year will be good for Nintendo since they will show the next console the Switch 2 and do something special for Mario's 40th Anniversary so I can't wait to see what they're gonna do for this year I can't wait. But yeah Happy New Year Protendo.
great video! i see a lot of people saying you were wrong, but i want to dream and accept this so im just gonna say you could be correct, just extend the timeline a bit. aside from the clear 2 and not neo but it will live in my head as the neo rent free. edit to add: regardless a very fun video!
So glad I am not the only one thinking that there is gonna be a new Star Fox game. I too feel like it is time, and it would be incredible with its visuals. Great video!
Nintendo Fusion Direct Welcome to the next era of Nintendo gaming! Here’s a glimpse into what could make this showcase truly unforgettable: A Grand Reveal 1. The presentation kicks off with Shuntaro Furukawa stepping onto the stage to unveil Nintendo’s latest console. With a nostalgic journey through the company’s legacy-from the Famicom to the Switch-he sets the stage for the future of gaming. 2. Furukawa announces: “Our next step is here. Introducing Nintendo Fusion!” A sleek, next-generation hybrid console similar to the Switch but featuring a larger dock, priced at $400, with built-in online capabilities. A detailed showcase of the console’s innovative design and features follows. Exciting Launch Titles and Announcements 3. Yoshikazu Yamashita takes the stage to reveal a completely reimagined version of Switch Sports. The game features realistic, human-like characters inspired by the art style of Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. This title will be available at launch. 4. A brand-new racing game is announced, featuring Mario, Kirby, and Captain Falcon. Set in a neon-lit city with visuals reminiscent of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, the game is developed by a fresh team (not the Mario Kart 8 developers) and will also launch with the Fusion. 5. The long-awaited Tokyo Mirage Sessions 2 is revealed, featuring cameos from Mio Honda, Honoka Kosaka, and Hatsune Miku. Scheduled for a Fall 2025 release, the game’s development progress will be teased. 6. A bold new Mario adventure is showcased. Set in a stunning synthwave-inspired world, the game combines the open-world charm of Super Mario Odyssey with the artistic flair of Peach: Showtime!. The story introduces a mysterious new alien princess and marks the return of Tatanga. This game will be available at launch, with developers highlighting its long-awaited completion. 7. Monolith Soft debuts a teaser for their next IP: a medieval fantasy adventure titled Medieval Times. The cinematic first look promises an epic experience, with a “coming soon” tag attached. 8. A brand-new Animal Crossing is teased, delivering a charming “coming soon” showcase. 9. Fans rejoice as the first teaser for Persona 6 is unveiled, leaving them eager for more details despite the lack of a release date. 10. A Pac-Man World 2 Remake is officially announced. 11. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is confirmed for the Fusion, expanding the console’s third-party lineup. 12. Both Starfield and Fallout 4 are announced as part of the Fusion’s growing library, bringing high-profile Western RPGs to Nintendo fans. 13.

A montage of exciting third-party titles, including Elden Ring, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Silent Hill 2, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy XVI, is showcased, demonstrating the Fusion’s robust support from developers. Final Surprise The presentation concludes with a jaw-dropping final reveal: Metroid Prime 4 running in stunning detail on the Fusion. The game promises to push the console’s capabilities to the limit, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more.
I have the Switch 2 pegged for July 2025: - July (Mario Kart 9 and the game Mouse Alert) - August (Metroid Prime 4) - September (Mario Painter)...yes, I said Painter - October (Punch Out's Sweet Revenge) - November (Super Mario 3D Bananza) - December (Rad Racer Extreme)...yes, a man can dream. You can use both Joycons as a motion-controlled steering wheel.
When you named Awkwafina I had to pause the video and put my hands into my head. That would be so tragic! Kristen Schaal is aactually a person who I would want for Daisy, but I can see her for Toadette as well
The name……kinda leaked, it’s just Switch 2. Although I respect that you’re going against the grain here. But you had me at Street Fighter, especially given how big SF6 is in Japan. As for FE4 Remake, NateDrake already said that it’s exclusively a Switch 1 game that’s been finished for over a year.
Yeah I had already made all my NEO stuff before the NextHandheld shenanigans and corroborating evidence, but I definitely don’t regret pitching a non-Switch 2 name just for the fun of it
@@Protendo Like I said, nothing wrong with going against the grain. As for SF6, part of me thinks that Capcom would want to time the Switch 2 port with an Arcade Edition-like update where the first two seasons are included in the base package.
I can see that for sure. Gonna be interesting to see which devs are going to go above and beyond with additional content or well-timed updates in their ports. A lot more incentive to make them extra enticing this time around
@@Protendo Going by your timeline, Elena would be released near the end of the month. So depending on the launch timing of the Switch 2, they could spruce up her release with a new physical package. Year 3’s characters would be revealed at Summer Game Fest like last year. And you know what, in the spirit of predictions, I’ll make my own: We’re getting a Marvel guest in Year 3 as a tease for an eventual MvC4, but it’s Nakayama’s dream pick……Erik Killmonger from Black Panther.
I’m not gonna lie, your predictions this year seem a little…ummm…eccentric this time haha. At least, I don’t THINK the launch for OG switch was THIS crazy. I like the game ideas, but I can’t help but feel like they’re still gonna spread out the releases a little bit more. There’s some really good ideas in here though. I love the donkey Kong idea that takes place in a single day, would make for some GORGEOUS set pieces and stages, and the Mario kart ejecting from their cars is a brilliant random no one would see coming twist that would make the game feel truly unique. Personally I like the idea of changing vehicles similar to diddy Kong racing, but you change vehicles mid race or something. Perhaps it just feels loaded when it’s all laid on in front of you in one video and it’s actually not much if I took a step back, but this feels very dream-like 😂😂 excellent video regardless. I hope you’re right about rhythm heavennnnnnn
game wise i hope for more peach or side character games! like peach and daisy doing something together. obviously another splatoon and animal crossing. new smash would for sure be fun to see in the beginning.
I'm hoping the Switch 2 will have a Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 HD remake bundle. It's the one thing I thought for sure would release on the Switch that we didn't get. I want a portable Chao Garden.
I get a feeling that Z-A isn't going to be a November launch, but rather a Summer 2025 release. The TCG for Z-A just got trademarked, and we knew the sets up until June before that. This slates the TCG sets for Z-A for July-August, and given how game releases tend to be alongside the TCG, that would place Z-A in May-July. This leaves November wide open, which is a strange thing for a Gamefreak produced Pokemon game. Usually they tend to target November due to the holiday sales period. My thinking is that it's because Generation 10 of Pokemon will be the November game from Gamefreak. It will be the first generation on Switch 2, and probably get teased on Pokemon day with the actual marketing starting in August as usual. The reason I think this is because of the November slot being open- but also because a new generation of Pokemon tends to release every 3 years without fail. When generations are announced we usually don't get news until August, so Z-A bridging that gap seems more than likely.
Hope the games are brand new. Not a rage bait but why is it normal to just get HDs and remasters of the same Wii U games over and over? Like Mario Kart 8 just being in HD? We should get a brand new from scratch one with only new maps.
With this lineup calling it now Mario, Fire Emblem, and Metroid will all be up for game of the year, competing with GTA 6, Ghost of Yotei, and Doom Dark Age, however while Mario and Fire Emblem will win awards like best Family Game and best Strategy game, and Metroid Dread will maybe win a random award, they will all end up losing to GTA 6, however on the bright side Star Fox will actually win most anticipated game
If the next Nintendo console somehow is the Switch Neo, I don't see any reason why Mario Kart X can't be called Mario Kart Neo. It'll be much less confusing since X is the Roman numeral for 10 and I think Nintendo needs to stop numbering Mario Kart games
Yeah 2025 is gonna be a big year for are cute little pink puffball Kirby like I hope we get a two-pack collection of both Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby Planet Robobot so then we would have all the Modern Kirby Games in one console and then finally seeing the sequel for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and that fake leaked new 2D Kirby Game Kirby and the Celestial Stars if that ever happens but yeah I hope this year we get something good for are cute little pink puffball Kirby
I wonder if they're gonna do the same thing with Mario Hoops and Mario Sports Mix? And maybe we could see more Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest characters or maybe some from other Nintendo Games like Kirby, Pikachu, Samus, or Link
I am so, so glad knowing Nintendo will have even more surprises 2025! I really wish in the next great future they could include something I am extremely fond of, something for Mario, Luigi and the others! As for 2025, I pray any of its surprises will be very good and fun and I will like it a lot if turns out I am right🤩🤩😁😁😆😆. May I go over something major about Mario, Luigi, and the others🤔🤔?
I would love to see Kirby being in Mario Kart as a playable character and having his Warp Star as his Kart and having a Dreamland Track for him I would like that if they did that for the next Mario Kart Game if it's going to be called 9 or X I don't know
@@DDKoD I know look it would be nice if they did add Kirby in the next Mario Kart Game since they added characters from Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and also Link
@@connorj1165 And again, all those characters are First Party. Keeping it to a select few first party characters prevents Nintendo Kart, which is a good thing. Just give us a New Air Ride insted and include all the helpers and every character that was playable in Star Allies.
@@connorj1165 Respectfully, that sounds less exciting. That’s less characters than I added, also I prefer to add characters that were ACTUALLY apart of the video game series over anime characters. Also PLEASE work on using punctuation. You sentaces are running together and it makes you difficult to understand
"Daisy will be Awkwafina"
do not bring that into the world Protendo I swear to god
Agreed. she was okay in crazy rich asians, but the moment she did other stuff...i am sorry but her persona reminds me of Tipton chick from suite life of zack and cody as a matter of fact...let's get that lady to do the role instead.
Man your video has more quality than most of the bigger youtubers with hundreds of subs, keep up this awesome work! Loved the video and your ideas
Once again your creativity with game concepts and logos is a treat to watch, and there's just so much fun stuff to predict heading into this year. Neo is a great name, and turning the Switch logo into an "N" was very clever.

Ocarina remake would be incredible. All those “OoT3D is now older than the OG was when 3D dropped” posts are getting to me

I have a feeling this video will age like milk
IT DIDN'T
@@fuzionelertick9470 huh?
It did
Well, the visuals of new MK are not quite impressive are they?
@AVDONE good point
“The leadup will be insane”
* Nintendo shadow drops the trailer with zero leadup *
boy do I have news for you man...
You should do a video "every time I predicted something correctly" it would either be impressive or really funny
This is one of the coolest concept videos I've seen holy shit, very well presented
LETS GOOO IT GOT UPLOADED! Can’t wait to watch your predictions
So glad to see u uploading!! I just found ur channel but I hope there’s tons of videos to come. I personally hope they make tomodachi life for the switch 2 lol

anyone watching this the day of the first look of the switch 2?
My name is *NINTENDO* and i am here to say, with the power of *SWITCH* neo i stand in your way!
Thank you for not always churning out Switch 2 leak videos, one of the few fun Nintendo channels I’ve enjoyed watching for years
6:48 Froakie is from Pokemon X and Y, which means that he's not mixed up. The other two are both from Sinnoh which I will accept seeing how there is only one legends game to base rules off of but it's pretty clear that GameFreak will probably choose starters from 3 different regions instead of only 2
I literally saw the word “NEO” and without thinking loudly sang “MY NAME IS METTATON AND I AM HERE TO SAY-“ I think I’m in too deep to be saved y’all
You put a lot of effort into those logos. They look legit!
Personally, I'm hoping for new 3D platformers in general. Mario, Kirby, and DK are my biggest desires but I'd be down for more!
I would like to see what they can do for the sequel for Kirby and the Forgotten Land because I would like to see Elfilin and Clawroline being playable characters like being Kirby new Allies or Dream Friends and another thing I hope they change King Dedede's design instead of using that Club Penguin design of him so I hope they do change his design in the next Kirby Game
3D DK would feed generations omg
6:07 If you are wondering, in Kirby lore, President Haltmann loses his daughter, Susie, to "another dimension" (The location is named "another dimension", this dimension is not just a random dimension, it is really important to the lore) President Haltmann, devastated from the loss of his daughter starts mechanizing planets using The Access Ark.

Kirby lore goes crazy
I have to say, you really manage to make everything in the video look really legit. Like all the logos and titles look incredibly polished and feel like you're actually a time traveller who's stealing stuff from the future
(also Nintendo Switch NEO is a name I would far prefer over Nintendo Switch 2)
I love how realistic this feels, not too bombastic, just Nintendoey enough to feel plausible even if it is one heck of a in the dark shot
First time viewer, really enjoyed your work. Not sure about some of those gameplay details but I think the release schedule feels very plausible. Two things I do differ significantly on though, I think they will push original switch harder than this, there will be some big games that release on switch (like the next Pokémon) doesn't matter how fast the uptake on the new console is, they can't replace the whole install base overnight - most of the biggest titles will be exclusive to the new console, to encourage the transition, but not all (although maybe it will be mostly ports) - the other thing is that Nintendo really lean into the financial year, so the mario anniversary year actually runs until March, so I think there will be more Mario - a collection (a new all stars) a battle royale (Mario 40) and a casual title (Dr Mario). I also think we get reveals of Splatoon 4 and Luigi's Mansion 4
Yep the name was wrong lol
Do not do not, put the Awkwafina as Daisy thing into the universe.
YAY! Love your videos! Can't wait for more in 2025!
You missed everything about the first look trailer for switch 2 ( not switch neo)
i don't think Nintendo would go for something sorta edgy-cool like "Neo," but i do like the idea of having a suffix that works on its own. like, just calling it "The Neo"
(while all the official sources keep calling it The Nintendo Switch Neo every single time)
It won’t be called Mario kart X. X means 10 and it will be Mario kart 9 because last was 8
Idk but maybe Mario Kart Tour is Mario Kart 9.
nintendo has said they consider mario kart tour a mainline mario kart game so the next one being called X sounds right
“What do i name my channel so people dont think im a nintendo hater?”
Stellar line up of concepts and ideas, if even one of these games (check the icon for which one) came true, I’d be ecstatic.
But uh… already looking like the right ideas hit a snag, lol.

But, I do like the title of the name for Susie's Side Story Mode called Susie Prologue A Mechanist Adrift and seeing what happened to Susie when she was in another dimension and how President Haltmann mechanized the planets because of how he lost his daughter when she was in another dimension but I think it would be cool if they make Susie try finding Kirby's Robobot Armor and bringing it back to Kirby after the events with Star Dream and it would be cool seeing Susie actually using the Robobot Armor which that would be awesome. And, I do like the title for it being called Kirby Planet Robobot Deluxe and it would make sense to launch it in April because in April 28th will be the Kirby Planet Robobot's 9th Anniversary so it would make sense to launch it on it's original launch and maybe we could see a Amiibo for Susie to go along with Kirby Planet Robobot that would be cool.
And I do hope we get to see a remake or a sequel for Tomodachi Life come to Nintendo Switch and adding the Miitopia Mii Maker in it so then we would have both Miitopia and Tomodachi Life on Switch now that would be cool for next year. But yeah I hope this year will be good for Nintendo since they will show the next console the Switch 2 and do something special for Mario's 40th Anniversary so I can't wait to see what they're gonna do for this year I can't wait. But yeah Happy New Year Protendo.
Of all the people talking about an open-world Mario, your idea is quite literally the only one I like. Good job!
I love that DK Sunset Curse idea.
Also, great quality video. Like, damn.
9:18 I think bringing back the dubbel dash mecanics is a better idea
great video! i see a lot of people saying you were wrong, but i want to dream and accept this so im just gonna say you could be correct, just extend the timeline a bit. aside from the clear 2 and not neo but it will live in my head as the neo rent free. edit to add: regardless a very fun video!
So glad I am not the only one thinking that there is gonna be a new Star Fox game. I too feel like it is time, and it would be incredible with its visuals. Great video!
I audibly screamed "NO" at the possibility of Awkwafina playing Daisy 😭😭😭
WHERE WAS PROFESSOR LAYTON :(
Delayed to 2029 mb
Fun to listen to!
Nintendo Fusion Direct
Welcome to the next era of Nintendo gaming! Here’s a glimpse into what could make this showcase truly unforgettable:
A Grand Reveal
1. The presentation kicks off with Shuntaro Furukawa stepping onto the stage to unveil Nintendo’s latest console. With a nostalgic journey through the company’s legacy-from the Famicom to the Switch-he sets the stage for the future of gaming.
2. Furukawa announces: “Our next step is here. Introducing Nintendo Fusion!”
A sleek, next-generation hybrid console similar to the Switch but featuring a larger dock, priced at $400, with built-in online capabilities. A detailed showcase of the console’s innovative design and features follows.
Exciting Launch Titles and Announcements
3. Yoshikazu Yamashita takes the stage to reveal a completely reimagined version of Switch Sports. The game features realistic, human-like characters inspired by the art style of Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. This title will be available at launch.
4. A brand-new racing game is announced, featuring Mario, Kirby, and Captain Falcon. Set in a neon-lit city with visuals reminiscent of the Super Mario Bros. Movie, the game is developed by a fresh team (not the Mario Kart 8 developers) and will also launch with the Fusion.

6. A bold new Mario adventure is showcased. Set in a stunning synthwave-inspired world, the game combines the open-world charm of Super Mario Odyssey with the artistic flair of Peach: Showtime!. The story introduces a mysterious new alien princess and marks the return of Tatanga. This game will be available at launch, with developers highlighting its long-awaited completion.
7. Monolith Soft debuts a teaser for their next IP: a medieval fantasy adventure titled Medieval Times. The cinematic first look promises an epic experience, with a “coming soon” tag attached.
8. A brand-new Animal Crossing is teased, delivering a charming “coming soon” showcase.
9. Fans rejoice as the first teaser for Persona 6 is unveiled, leaving them eager for more details despite the lack of a release date.
10. A Pac-Man World 2 Remake is officially announced.
11. Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is confirmed for the Fusion, expanding the console’s third-party lineup.
12. Both Starfield and Fallout 4 are announced as part of the Fusion’s growing library, bringing high-profile Western RPGs to Nintendo fans.
13. Tomonobu Itagaki surprises the audience with a new 3D fighting game inspired by Dead or Alive, marking his return to the genre.
14. A montage of exciting third-party titles, including Elden Ring, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Silent Hill 2, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Final Fantasy XVI, is showcased, demonstrating the Fusion’s robust support from developers.
Final Surprise
The presentation concludes with a jaw-dropping final reveal: Metroid Prime 4 running in stunning detail on the Fusion. The game promises to push the console’s capabilities to the limit, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more.
I have the Switch 2 pegged for July 2025:
- July (Mario Kart 9 and the game Mouse Alert)
- August (Metroid Prime 4)
- September (Mario Painter)...yes, I said Painter
- October (Punch Out's Sweet Revenge)
- November (Super Mario 3D Bananza)
- December (Rad Racer Extreme)...yes, a man can dream. You can use both Joycons as a motion-controlled steering wheel.
my bets is that it’s still going to be called switch 2 and the metroid prime 4 trailer will have a jab at it taking forever in the trailer
If only Protendo started working on this video after GameXplain's recent update regarding Genki and the NS successor.
When you named Awkwafina I had to pause the video and put my hands into my head. That would be so tragic!
Kristen Schaal is aactually a person who I would want for Daisy, but I can see her for Toadette as well
The name……kinda leaked, it’s just Switch 2. Although I respect that you’re going against the grain here. But you had me at Street Fighter, especially given how big SF6 is in Japan.
As for FE4 Remake, NateDrake already said that it’s exclusively a Switch 1 game that’s been finished for over a year.
Yeah I had already made all my NEO stuff before the NextHandheld shenanigans and corroborating evidence, but I definitely don’t regret pitching a non-Switch 2 name just for the fun of it
@@Protendo Like I said, nothing wrong with going against the grain. As for SF6, part of me thinks that Capcom would want to time the Switch 2 port with an Arcade Edition-like update where the first two seasons are included in the base package.
I can see that for sure. Gonna be interesting to see which devs are going to go above and beyond with additional content or well-timed updates in their ports. A lot more incentive to make them extra enticing this time around
@@Protendo Going by your timeline, Elena would be released near the end of the month. So depending on the launch timing of the Switch 2, they could spruce up her release with a new physical package. Year 3’s characters would be revealed at Summer Game Fest like last year.
And you know what, in the spirit of predictions, I’ll make my own: We’re getting a Marvel guest in Year 3 as a tease for an eventual MvC4, but it’s Nakayama’s dream pick……Erik Killmonger from Black Panther.
Wouldn't it be fun though if the Switch 2 stuff that has showed up is just advance materials with a placeholder name to protect the final reveal
I’m not gonna lie, your predictions this year seem a little…ummm…eccentric this time haha.
At least, I don’t THINK the launch for OG switch was THIS crazy. I like the game ideas, but I can’t help but feel like they’re still gonna spread out the releases a little bit more.
There’s some really good ideas in here though. I love the donkey Kong idea that takes place in a single day, would make for some GORGEOUS set pieces and stages, and the Mario kart ejecting from their cars is a brilliant random no one would see coming twist that would make the game feel truly unique.
Personally I like the idea of changing vehicles similar to diddy Kong racing, but you change vehicles mid race or something.
Perhaps it just feels loaded when it’s all laid on in front of you in one video and it’s actually not much if I took a step back, but this feels very dream-like 😂😂 excellent video regardless. I hope you’re right about rhythm heavennnnnnn
What I would give for StreetPass 2
game wise i hope for more peach or side character games! like peach and daisy doing something together. obviously another splatoon and animal crossing. new smash would for sure be fun to see in the beginning.
Bro is so passionate that I fully believe everything 100% I think bro works at Nintendo
I'm hoping the Switch 2 will have a Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 HD remake bundle. It's the one thing I thought for sure would release on the Switch that we didn't get. I want a portable Chao Garden.
I mostly watch you for the deltarune content but this video is awesome, sending love
What's the background music that starts playing at 20:11?
Mario Wonder Snow Level theme 👍
Ok am I the only one who thinks that a new banjo kazooie will realese?
That DK actually sounds kinda cool
This is a really cool mockup!!!! I have one question though
Will the ui have soul?
I get a feeling that Z-A isn't going to be a November launch, but rather a Summer 2025 release. The TCG for Z-A just got trademarked, and we knew the sets up until June before that. This slates the TCG sets for Z-A for July-August, and given how game releases tend to be alongside the TCG, that would place Z-A in May-July.
This leaves November wide open, which is a strange thing for a Gamefreak produced Pokemon game. Usually they tend to target November due to the holiday sales period. My thinking is that it's because Generation 10 of Pokemon will be the November game from Gamefreak. It will be the first generation on Switch 2, and probably get teased on Pokemon day with the actual marketing starting in August as usual. The reason I think this is because of the November slot being open- but also because a new generation of Pokemon tends to release every 3 years without fail. When generations are announced we usually don't get news until August, so Z-A bridging that gap seems more than likely.
Thank you for reminding me that I should probably avoid Metroid Prime 4 trailers moving forward
I love this video, just funny because you’re already wrong abt a few things (the name) it got leaked
Cant wait for this to age horribly
rather the skating gimmick i'd gladly them do a doubledash mode. I'm sure that'll get the O.G.'s hyped the heck up
Just curious… am I missing something. Why would Mario Kart be called X. “X” meaning 10 here I assume? What happened to Mario Kart 9?
I'm so excited for the new 3D Mario, but I really want Nintendo to also release a remastered version of Super Mario Galaxy 2 😭
I just think Mario will get his own presentation
This aged so well in just four days 💀 😂
Yeah we all know the system and the name at this point lmao
just a quick thing on act 4.... when no one expected it... SMASH.
Bro i am *DESPERATE* for Nintendo to give the console a unique name. If they actually call it the switch neo i will be very happy
The name of this video is almost identical to the name of my 2025 predictions video which I dropped a few weeks ago. That’s kinda freaky.
Hope the games are brand new. Not a rage bait but why is it normal to just get HDs and remasters of the same Wii U games over and over? Like Mario Kart 8 just being in HD? We should get a brand new from scratch one with only new maps.
No Tomodachi Life????? If it doesn’t get a sequel I will genuinely cry I’ve been waiting so long😭😭😭😭
def gonna be called the switch 2
Games coming Mario Kart, Pokemon and Metroid prime 4
With this lineup calling it now
Mario, Fire Emblem, and Metroid will all be up for game of the year, competing with GTA 6, Ghost of Yotei, and Doom Dark Age, however while Mario and Fire Emblem will win awards like best Family Game and best Strategy game, and Metroid Dread will maybe win a random award, they will all end up losing to GTA 6, however on the bright side Star Fox will actually win most anticipated game
I will personally put all the blame on you if Twilight Princess gets bumped to 2026!
If the next Nintendo console somehow is the Switch Neo, I don't see any reason why Mario Kart X can't be called Mario Kart Neo. It'll be much less confusing since X is the Roman numeral for 10 and I think Nintendo needs to stop numbering Mario Kart games
Big year for Kirby!!
Yeah 2025 is gonna be a big year for are cute little pink puffball Kirby like I hope we get a two-pack collection of both Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby Planet Robobot so then we would have all the Modern Kirby Games in one console and then finally seeing the sequel for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and that fake leaked new 2D Kirby Game Kirby and the Celestial Stars if that ever happens but yeah I hope this year we get something good for are cute little pink puffball Kirby
5:24 NAH BRUH WE NEED A NEW SLUGGERS GAME
Mario Hoops revival before Sluggers ._.
I wonder if they're gonna do the same thing with Mario Hoops and Mario Sports Mix? And maybe we could see more Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest characters or maybe some from other Nintendo Games like Kirby, Pikachu, Samus, or Link
We should get open world starfox and a new smash bros
I am so, so glad knowing Nintendo will have even more surprises 2025! I really wish in the next great future they could include something I am extremely fond of, something for Mario, Luigi and the others! As for 2025, I pray any of its surprises will be very good and fun and I will like it a lot if turns out I am right🤩🤩😁😁😆😆. May I go over something major about Mario, Luigi, and the others🤔🤔?
8:16 Um they need to make Mario Kart 9 Before Mario Kart 10...
Tour is 9 to Nintendo
Why would Mario kart X come out before 9
Mario Kart 9 is Mario Kart Tour, this has been officially stated by Nintendo
Feels like you're getting your hopes up a bit too high tbh
We need a new smash bros
Like if you think most of this will be real.
Kirby in Mario Kart PLEASE
I would love to see Kirby being in Mario Kart as a playable character and having his Warp Star as his Kart and having a Dreamland Track for him I would like that if they did that for the next Mario Kart Game if it's going to be called 9 or X I don't know
No. Let’s keep the guess characters limited to in house First party characters
@@DDKoD I know look it would be nice if they did add Kirby in the next Mario Kart Game since they added characters from Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and also Link
@@connorj1165 And again, all those characters are First Party. Keeping it to a select few first party characters prevents Nintendo Kart, which is a good thing. Just give us a New Air Ride insted and include all the helpers and every character that was playable in Star Allies.
@@connorj1165 Respectfully, that sounds less exciting. That’s less characters than I added, also I prefer to add characters that were ACTUALLY apart of the video game series over anime characters. Also PLEASE work on using punctuation. You sentaces are running together and it makes you difficult to understand
Fire Emblem 4 remake would definitely just be a Switch 1 game that you can play on Switch 2.
Idk where you got this idiotic name for the system, but it's going to be called switch 2 lol
Chill lmao. It's a pretty cool name, even if it's unrealistic
