Good-Feel were planning to continue contract development along with their self-published game, and given we're over 4 years from Crafted World, I feel like their next Nintendo project(s?) could be due.
I sometimes really wonder why Nintendo is seemingly going to take more than 6 years to get the new 3D Mario out the door. I know it's probably the successor launch title but it's really weird that after Odyssey was a launch year title the next installment is on the next console.
Nintendo doesn’t do 2 3D Mario games on a system. They even advised Ubisoft to keep Mario + Rabbids one per system and they didn’t listen. Galaxy 2 is the only time they did it.
It is indeed, and that was when the home console they made it on was very successful, just like the Switch was in fact. So it kinda would've made sense to make another 3D Mario for the system (I know BF exists but that's just a game expansion). Nintendo certainly never takes 7 years to make a 3D Mario either.
I never understood why a lot of people are convinced Prime 4 will be a cross gen tittle. I mean, if the successor is BC then the game would launch on switch and maybe would be updated to work better on switch 2.
I think it's a possibile 2025 Switch 2 title at this point. would make sense to boost thew first year line up.
they why Ridley in the Metroid 2 remake look like Meta Ridley?
Actually, that was all because of a guy shitposting, gaming sites thinking that the Nintendo insider circle had their own separate sources on it, and someone posting fake leaks on Twitter for clout
maybe for the game to be graphical/techinal showcase for Nintendo next hardware
I think it comes down to when Prime 4 launches vs when the Switch 2 launches. If both end up being Holiday launch window I fully expect a cross gen launch. If Prime 4 is a first half or summer 2024 launch and the Switch 2 is holiday 2024, then I agree it'll just be a "switch games enhanced on Switch 2".
Thing is, they'd sell so many copies of games so many people already own. So many. You could do, say, Mario Galaxy in a fancy box with those documentary/commentary-type features, sell it for £50 and I'm ashamed to say I'd buy it in a heartbeat even though I can already play that game on my Switch.
He did say barely, there's some connections, its just for the most part vague so theyre not super constrained by the timeline. Really though that bit is more of an easter egg, showing the halfway point of Ridley's recovery.
I would expect that to be the supposed Mario 3D as Prime 4 has been in development for the original switch for more than 4 years. It's going to be a looker, yeah, but it's a switch game after all.
But a cross gen launch would mean two different versions of the game? I don't see Nintendo doing that considering they want things as simple as they can be. I think their cross gen period will just limit to the enhanced backwards combability, but oc I could be wrong. Let's see, this is probably the console launch I have been more curious ever.
Yeah it will be a Switch game. The best they will do for Switch 2 is higher res and some eye candy.
It's known for having one of the darkest stories in the series. It's arguably one of the best, if not the best, story in the series. The first half of the story in particular is infamous for its numerous plot twists. Combine a lot of world building, mechanics that would return later in the series (such as having two units marry and have children later on like in Awakening and Fates), and a great OST, and that just adds to the several reasons why those who've played it tend to love it.
A bunch of folks tend to present Proteus Ridley as definitive proof of Prime's canonicity, but the bloke could simply have gotten mechanical parts across two separate continuities. The villain being rebuilt with cybernetics is a common enough trope. If you took someone who only played Metroid 1, and then immediately had them play Samus Returns directly after, Ridley's mechanical parts would require no explanation.
xGOAT777!A big thread event that I teased in the OP will launch later today! It’ll be at least 10 hours from now before it goes live and anyone can join!
I hope you are all looking forward to it
I'm assuming if it's cross gen it'll be an up port that maybe takes advantage of the new consoles gimmick like Twilight Princess on Wii. I don't think Prime 4 will be a holiday 2024 title, I'm just saying if it is, I can see Nintendo putting a box on shelves that says "Prime 4 Switch 2" for early adopters to possibly spend a premium on.
the Resident Evil 4 remake was released in march, Monster Hunter games usualy release in spring
Sounds like a threat.
Space; where no one can hear you- [B U F F E R I N G]
Todd Howard is currently closing in on my location as we speak
Nintendo have made a big deal about Metroid Prime 4, to the point they bucked all their usual marketing instincts and revealed it was in development when all they had was a logo, and then subsequently making an apology video when development restarted. It just seems too big to chuck out during the dying days of the Switch. Far better to hold it back and use it as a showcase title to wow early adopters of their new console. It's a strategy that did wonders for BOTW.
I’d like to hope we get one new big splash announcement this direct. Metroid Prime 4 should be it. DK gonna wait until next year. A new 2D Zelda would be great, but at this point idk if that’ll release on Switch.
Also, Metroid just isn't big enough to launch a system. The series is a 3m seller at best, but the majority of that is coming from Europe & North America. The franchise doesn't sell at all in Japan. Early in the system's life, sure, but for launch there's no chance whatsoever they're using a launch game that doesn't have sway in their primary market.
Become they want a metroid game that sells more then 3m? I don't understand why so many dismisse the idea of Nintendo trying to make metroid more mainstream with prime 4 being there best shot, especially if it comesc out around a new console. Plus no one suggested that prime 4 would be the only launch title.
The series isn’t 3 million at best lol. Metroid Prime 4 will do more. Dread did more
to add to this, they have been hinting at it for years but with the Mario movie's massive success Nintendo is in a prime position to upgrade itself from Nintendo The Game/Console Makers To Nintendo the all entertainment company, they will want all there major franchise to become movies,tv shows, books, and I'm sure they'll love to have Metroid be a part of that, but it needs to be in the public conscious more and right now the best way to do that is with prime 4 and giving the biggest and best marketing push they can do for it and if it's a 2024 release then it would be with the next console
I kinda meant 3-4m, which is the ballpark Dread is in. Either way, it isn't Mario, Zelda or Mario Kart numbers, which is what the system will launch with.
They're doing an amazing job building it up, hence Dread becoming the biggest-selling game in the franchise and Prime Remastered probably set to be number two by the end of the year. But a new console launch, especially one they're as anxious over as this one following how badly they bungled the Wii U off the back of a hit, is not the time to grow a franchise. It's the time to pull your biggest, safest hand and play the hell out of it.
No, this seems normal. There's usually a couple Mario physical releases per year. LM DM and Princess Peach games are 2024 anyway.
Prime 4 would be in good company with that tbh. Feels like we get at least one or two games per year now that look "too good for Switch"
Hi! I suggest adding "Rumored Pokemon game set in the Unova region" or "Rumored Pokemon Unova game" or something like that. There's currently a lot of speculation happening about that in the Pokemon community.
The next Pokémon release is going to be late 24/early 25. There's no chance we see it in this Direct, but it'll make the list for February
Yeah good point. I absolutely expect it to be revealed February 2024, but I just suggested because I thought it was just a rumored game list.
If it was an E3 announcement it'd have been at the July Partner Direct like SMT V or the Persona games in the June 2022 ones. It was likely always a pre-TGS announcement.
Well games started to take forever to make. Odyssey took as long as BotW(4 years) then its sequel taking as long as TotK should come as no surprise.
That would be quite a big deal. A GCN or New Leaf remakester would be great and sell gangbusters, I don't think there's any remaster with a bigger sales potential. I think there's quite a lot of people thirsty for Animal Crossing and with the nature of the success that New Horizons was it was definitely ended too early.
Yeah lol, ever since September 2020 with MonHun Rise reveal, then it got a little crazier with Splatoon 3 reveal, Sparks of Hope and etc where every game was like "it must be running on next generation hardware!!"Prime 4 would be in good company with that tbh. Feels like we get at least one or two games per year now that look "too good for Switch"
Nobody takes 7 years, but don’t forget about Covid delaying games. Then, it’s rumored Nintendo is working on a DK game from within the group.
