The Baten Kaitos leak claims it's scheduled for an E3 reveal, so we might need to hold fire on that one for a few months.
 
Do we think it'll keep the turn-based card-deck battle system? I could see monolith going crazy with the towns and worlds, bringing them to life in proper 3D -- the overworld was underwhelming in the original game too, so maybe they'd tidy that up too.. just curious what people think, because lots of games like Final Fantasy etc have moved to more action-styled combat - the Xenoblade aren't really turn-based either. I know if they did it would probably annoy some older fans / purists, but it would probably make me more interested in a remake to be honest.

I took a look at some old footage just now and it's crazy how low quality the voice recording work was. Not the performances, the actual sound quality.

That's the most notable thing about the game, so I'd think so. Most remakes do play generally like their originals, except for a weirdo like FFVII where its characters/settings became unusually popular.
 
WSBC eBaseball power Pros rated for Switch in Taiwan. This is gonna be the first worldwide release of Jikkyo Powerful Pro Yakyu series since 2008. Konami got the World Softball Baseball license in the last summer.

This could be a Direct announcement. Last year we got MLB The Show in the Direct after all. Nintendo is very supportive of anything baseball.

I'm just nog getting a long with konamis "e" branding for their sport stuff.. totally weirds me out.

Xbox has been really hit-or-miss as of late for a lot of Square Enix's releases (mostly miss). Though, it is surprising Final Fantasy is missing, given that was the one series they were consistent with on Xbox releases...
Square Enix had so many big flops and discontinued "live service" games in the past few months (for example Babylons Fall, Chocobo GP, the mobile FF game, Marvel Avengers, Forspoken, ...) and the desaster that they sold franchises like Tomb Raider to push NFTs with the money...

I would think they need every cent they can get now. That no XBox port is happening is strange, perhaps a next gen moneyhat from Sony or simply just mismanagement.

Grain Of salt, but this person says Prime 4 is having development hell and Nintendo is tired of it.

And its all in tounges.


As stated in the OP, we keep this thread for rumors that has very legitimate sources, like Stephen Totilo or Eurogamer. Little birds do not qualify...

The nicknames they use made reading this confusing for someone like me that has English as their 2nd language lol.

But I wonder why you’re going to Leak something and then use code names when you could use much simpler names based of what they said.

Anyways. I don’t buy all together. I’ll probably think something Is off if Prime 4 isn’t mentioned by 2024

Edit: whoops. Ignore me. I thought this was the Metroid thread.
 
I like how unhinged it is. They took the most obvious and popular conclusion (mpr was made to test stuff for mp4) and inverted if. Now mp4 is the kne that needs mpr.

This thread is for rumors from solid sources like ratings, press reportings or retail listings.


And it looks like the resetera moderators have closed the thread.
 
As far as we know, Prime 2 and 3 aren’t being worked on/havent been complete, so I call BS on this one
This seems like BS, yeah, but most of the reputable leakers do think Prime 2 and Prime 3 are coming in some form or another. Nate and Grubb have indicated that 2 and 3 are coming, but will be less extensively overhauled than 1. Maybe just an up-res job. Meanwhile, Belmont, the relatively unknown leaker who was the first to spill the beans on Prime 1 in the most accurate detail, stated that Nintendo was thinking about giving Prime 2 and Prime 3 to another studio. That report was a year ago, and since Iron Galaxy is listed as a support studio on Prime 1, some have speculated that they're handling 2 and 3.
 
Could we please ignore that silly "rumor"? r/gamingleaksandrumors moderators should be more strict and stop nobodies spreading false information. Not vetted people should not post there.

This bunch of bs is the crappiest Samus related thing ever posted on the internet.

And that's fucking saying something.

In this case i prefer to believe Belmont due to overwhelming amount of details he gave back in 2021.

Even if it was the opposite id prefer to believe him anyway because the idea of 2 and 3 getting hd ports is terrible lol.

I feel like its bogus rumor. MP1R wouldn't have been released or even shadowdropped if MP4 wasn't on the horizon this year or next year. They held off of releasing MP1R since 2021 so what's another couple months/years more if MP4 was or was planned to be cancelled.

From past leaks about the game on the purple site, especially a poster who was never banned there that gave that in-depth history of the development. Retro never started work on MP2 and MP3 of the Trilogy and was believed to be handed to others if they were to be worked on/released, during MP1R they had been given the lead reins from Nintendo for MP4 and focused on that.

I dont think we even need past evidence to say that the guy is full of BS.

The idea of using a remaster to see if a new game might sell is not great. A new metroid game will obviously outsell the remaster lol.
