Quake is now done. Game number two for 2022.

Nice. I'm still working on my first game of the year, Final Fantasy VI.
I had to pick a JRPG....

They don't want the ire of PETANintendogs being completely absent for the past several years is beyond baffling.
Honestly one of the most baffling things I've ever seen a company do is Nintendo putting out goddamn Pikmin and Dr. Mario on mobile instead of Nintendogs.
Was it pride or something? Did they want to be more 'innovative' with mobile stuff like with Mario Run instead of doing the most obvious choice that might-as-well-be tailor-made for mobile? Or did they just lack the foresight to see the golden goose of an IP they were sitting on? I simply can't see a world in which Pikmin Bloom was seen as more of a good investment than "a lifestyle game where you raise cute puppies/kittens."
The other games is DK Country Series. Right?Purchased Strange Journey, SMT IV Apocalypse, and the 2 Devil Survivor games. I won't be playing them til I'm done with other games first, though.

I wonder how that strategy worked out for them lolPart of their strategy for mobile has been to make their IP available to more people who would then buy their hardware to play the mainline entries. Not much of a point in making a Nintendogs game for mobile if they have no plans to follow it up on Switch.
At this point, I just can't see a brand new Mario Kart getting announced unless it is exclusively for the next system. Seems like a waste to put it on the OG Switch at this stage of the timeline.I don't know if it's new and/or intersting, but I thought I share this:

We haven’t had anything new for Mario Kart since 8DX at launch. People are thirsty.At this point, I just can't see a brand new Mario Kart getting announced unless it is exclusively for the next system. Seems like a waste to put it on the OG Switch at this stage of the timeline.

Nice. I didn't finish Devil Survivor (I played it at a point where I wasn't finishing many games at all) but what I played was good. I need to get back to it.Purchased Strange Journey, SMT IV Apocalypse, and the 2 Devil Survivor games. I won't be playing them til I'm done with other games first, though.
Man, forget SMT x FE. I want SMT x DK!The other games is DK Country Series. Right?

Does it have to be an actual photo taken by me?Reminder that there is a $5 eShop card raffle ongoing in this thread, all you need to do is post a picture of food and some comments about why/when/what you cooked/ate/saw it.
So far only 5 people have entered this week's raffle.

Just to recap, this is only a prediction of his and he has gotten quite a number of Nintendo predictions wrong over the years.

Same reason for Splat 3 on OG Switch vs holding it for the next iteration.
Yeah, I need a new SD card. I had to go through hoops on the 3DS eShop because they wouldn't let you just buy the game. You have to either download now or download later which still takes up data. I had to download them then delete them because I didn't have enough space.Nice. I didn't finish Devil Survivor (I played it at a point where I wasn't finishing many games at all) but what I played was good. I need to get back to it.
I actually bought a new SD card for my 3DS just to buy a few games during that Sega/Atlus sale lol. I picked up Apocalypse, 7th Dragon III Code: VFD (idk anything about this game but it was cheap and I had leftover money to spend), Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, and Stella Glow. Not sure when I'll get to them though.
thirsty people don't buy mario kart 8 twice y'know
Whatever it takes to get Dixie into Smash. I'll take it.
"The Kong you worship is dead"Man, forget SMT x FE. I want SMT x DK!
People didn’t get the memo that it was supposed to be the worst selling entry in the seriesthirsty people don't buy mario kart 8 twice y'know
All great purchases, Devil Survivor on the DS was my entry to MegaTen and I will always have a soft spot for that subseries.Purchased Strange Journey, SMT IV Apocalypse, and the 2 Devil Survivor games. I won't be playing them til I'm done with other games first, though.

It was Halo and when the tease happened there was 100% backing to such a project being shopped around and planned. Considering the silence, odds favor the project being shelved for any number of reasons.
This still is, and probably will remain throughout eternity, the most hilariously pointless piechart in existence.
Polygon has had plenty of bad takes in their history but this is the only one I’m never going to forget.This still is, and probably will remain throughout eternity, the most hilariously pointless piechart in existence.
Could be like F-Zero in 8 where we have 2 tracks but no C. Falcon. I doubt they'll leave out Samus if crossovers is the next game's gimmick though.If (big if) the next MK has a bigger focus on being a crossover of Nintendo IPs and they somehow decide against letting Samus join in on the fun, I will eat the biggest bowl of gelato I can find.
NO. WHERE@wookiee your late Christmas present in the form of a terrible blender animation of mine has arrived
Even if it's alive, it'll take some time before it arrives. Nowadays even the simplest Switch ports take more than a year, no wonder Halo is nowhere to be seen. It even took years to hit PC.It was Halo and when the tease happened there was 100% backing to such a project being shopped around and planned.

It's funny too because I feel like releasing any year before this one could have been easily justified. But 2022 really is the "OK, it's too late to announce a new Mario Kart for Switch" time (unless it's cross-generations? But seems kind of pointless compared to just making it a big game for the Switch 2).At this point, I just can't see a brand new Mario Kart getting announced unless it is exclusively for the next system. Seems like a waste to put it on the OG Switch at this stage of the timeline.
I wonder how that strategy worked out for them lol
Genuinely, because whilst the Switch is doing gangbusters I wonder how many people bought them because "oh wow, I loved Mario Kart Tour so I better spend £350 to get the full-fat version!" There's definitely going to be some crossover there, but whether it was an overall success is something that I doubt we'll ever know. All we can really use to guess is how Nintendo is kind of 'leaving' the mobile space now, but whether that's due to a case of "our mission is finished," or "this wasn't worth it," is hard to see.
Either way, it is a very Nintendo thing to go full-in on a more esoteric strategy like that whilst not even attempting to do the simpler option. They are the company that made the Wii U after all
Nah, just ideally something you've eaten.Does it have to be an actual photo taken by me?
It's in an article about a bunch of 2022 predictions for the whole industry, a lot of them are worded like "this thing will happen"Sorry, didn't see it. Weirdly worded prediction though, sounds too definitive for one and tbh, "the next Mario Kart is in active development" isn't a shocker.
Top of the OP, friend.NO. WHERE
I hope so. I really dislike mobile gaming and would prefer Nintendo's top talent not waste their time on it.I find it very doubtful that Nintendo's in-house teams are going to touch a mobile game ever again. They might greenlight some smaller projects like Pikmin Bloom by outside developers, but by and large they seem pretty done with mobile.
Their mobile efforts have always been about trying to boost their ips and put more eyes on them. If they actually wanted to do a new nintendogs they would just make one for the Switch, not for mobile just because it would be fitting. Nintendo is in the business of their own hardware and their own platform and shifting some of their series to an outside platform wouldn't make any sense. Its the same reason why they never ported and of their classic games to mobile.Honestly one of the most baffling things I've ever seen a company do is Nintendo putting out goddamn Pikmin and Dr. Mario on mobile instead of Nintendogs.
Was it pride or something? Did they want to be more 'innovative' with mobile stuff like with Mario Run instead of doing the most obvious choice that might-as-well-be tailor-made for mobile? Or did they just lack the foresight to see the golden goose of an IP they were sitting on? I simply can't see a world in which Pikmin Bloom was seen as more of a good investment than "a lifestyle game where you raise cute puppies/kittens."
