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.
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.
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).
have you not heard? style savvy was murdered by nintendo. Syn Sophia, the developers of style savvy, wanted to make a 5th game and got shut down hard by nintendo. They then did a complete ip rebrand and struggled to find a publisher, at which point marvelous stepped in. It's called Fashion Dreamer and is planned to be a continued fashion series by syn sophia. It's basically style savvy, in all but official ip/branding. Same dev, same goal (fashion game), etc.
Given Nintendo's hard rejection, Style Savvy is dead for the foreseeable future. And if Fashion Dreamer does well (which it should if all style savvy fans buy it which they should if they like style savvy), Nintendo might realize it's good to have style savvy and revive; but if that happens I sincerely doubt syn sophia will return to develop them.
tl;dr: style savvy is dead, and nintendo murdered it. a revival might happen if Fashion Dreamer (marvelous/syn sophia game) does well, but if it does revive, it almost certainly won't be syn sophia developing it again, so not really the same.
I kind of wish Chronotrigger got the FF7 remake treatment -- full HD cinematic experience. But I'll take what I can get if it's on the switch and isn't messed up too much.
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.
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 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? 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.
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).
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.)
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.
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. :)
