My uncle at nintendo told me that they'll finally tell us how to teach Pikachu Surf so we can find the Mew under the truck.
I've been so attached to Tears of the Kingdom that I've barely even considered other games. What an open world masterclass. I feel like I could spend another hundred hours in that game and still find some interesting spot hiding somewhere.
Did you know some guy on youtube made a mod/virus for red and blue that makes it so if you trade with a cart that's infected too? The only other thing it does is make it possible to use strength to push the truck and catch a mew.
According to leaks, there's going to be a new 2D Mario game (It will not have "New" in the title, thankfully) and a "remake of a SNES Classic" (I believe it'll be a Chrono Trigger HD-2D remake).
I'm pretty excited to see what this ends up having. Nintendo has already done a lot of the big obvious things with the Switch, which leaves the window open for lesser used IPs or more unique game concepts.
Or they can do sequels, which is still pretty exciting since it's a chance to improve on what are already some really strong titles.
tbh it seems like nintendo is doing the opposite of that. they used to have a lot of random smaller games/ips, but it's been feeling like they've been centralizing into their few core IPs and nothing else. like, we haven't even gotten a 2d zelda on switch yet (grezzo did LA remake but that's not really a new game).
I know it is basically a dream at this point, but I'd love to see a port of Xenoblade X. One of the best games of the Wii U, and the exploration feeling it gave remains unmatched by X2 and X3.
That would probably require cooperation with square, which would finally open the door to proper sequels. I’d cry. (No shade on the paper Mario and Mario and Luigi games, they are great series in their own rights, just not the same.)
Yeah, it was campy and long winded at times, but the puzzles were great, the class system was unique and creative, and the music was second to none. It's a small magazine and a small community altogether, but I'm proud to be the moderator.
I'm excited to see what they're going to showcase. The rumor mill is running rampant on Twitter that a new 2D Mario game and an SNES remaster will be shown.
Assuming these are true, I hope we're getting a 2D Mario that isn't a "New Super Mario Bros" title since that franchise is nearly 20 years old at this point. Give us something new. Call it "Super Mario Bros. 5", even. Just something that isn't part of the "New" series.
As for an SNES remaster, Super Mario RPG in a tilt-shift style Link's Awakening remaster would be lovely. A Chrono Trigger remaster in the style of Octopath or Live a Live would also be lovely.
But ultimately I'll just wait it out with hopeful optimism that they have some good stuff in the pipeline.
I never knew I wanted a tilt-shift style Super Mario RPG but now its all I can think about. It'd be an interesting challenge to redo those old games, but they proved it doable with Link's Awakening.
i think it looks pretty good, but there are some things in the trailer that i'm not sure about.
they showed a lot of pikmin types, i think all of them from every game plus the new ones? this is a worry of mine unless they made enough different areas to make you feel like you don't need every type on every expedition.
still not sure how to feel about the dog
really glad they're bringing back caves, but the pikmin 2 versus mode-esque battles seem weird
the night expeditions seem sort of interesting, curious about what purpose they serve
not sure how to feel about the upgrade shops and currency, hope they do it well
overall, theres a lot of new stuff and returning features that were missing in pikmin 3 for us to be excited about. seems like they want to go more of an open world, choose your own adventure style of progression in favor of how in previous games you had to defeat x boss or get y treasure to unlock a new area.
ever since they showed off the character customization I've been conflicted on the game. I liked the pikmin series and was planning on picking up 4, but that changed my mind to maybe avoid it...
I'm getting older and feeling the same way about a lot of things, but I still can't wait to have time to check out the new Zelda game, and I have no doubt it's going to blow my mind. :)
It feels like we're getting toward the end of the switch life cycle, but sales are still strong and Nintendo probably would love to hold onto this install base they have. Wonder if we get some acknowledgement of that life cycle or potentially a new console soon.
Honestly I hope it's just a Switch 2. I know Nintendo likes to really think outside the box and do different things with their consoles (DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch), but the Switch is basically the coolest gaming device ever. When they showed that the controllers came off and there was a kickstand so you could play Mario Kart with friends wherever, it blew my mind.
Just update the hardware and fix the joycon drift, and I'll be happy.
yup I'm very interested to see if Fashion Dreamer makes an appearance, given the corporate drama around it and the fact that it's scheduled for a 2023 release yet we haven't gotten a release date yet.
Any chance of them announcing they're getting out of the hardware business? As much as I love me some Nintendo, I really don't think I'll be buying another console from them.
Based on the sales of The Switch, I highly doubt it. While I agree that it is due for a refresh, Nintendo doesn't really chase high end graphics. They'll put out new hardware eventually that is more powerful than the current Switch, but less powerful than a PS5. They have a bunch of IPs that they know will carry it regardless of if it's cutting edge or not.
I sincerely doubt they'll leave the hardware business. The Switch is their most successful home console of all time, ranking third in overall video game console sales.
It's annoying to have to buy multiple consoles to enjoy the best experiences that video gaming has to offer, but I wouldn't bank on Nintendo leaving anytime soon.
