There aren't exactly any rumors, tho. More like wishful thinking from people who knows as much as you and me, isn't?I've noticed @NateDrake comment on everything except the Mother rumors, could be promising

This Man’s next project once Frontiers releases
New Rockband sounds crazyHow do we know the rumors are about a platformer staring a bear and bird and not a game about actual banjos and kazoos?

not quite this nightmare but I hope banjo doesn’t get the fortnite/crash/Spyro/Kao art style treatment :/
Well now I'm curious what kind of artstyle you want since I was about to ask if people would be okay with an artstyle akin to New Super Lucky's Tale lolnot quite this nightmare but I hope banjo doesn’t get the fortnite/crash/Spyro/Kao art style treatment :/
Those were all pretty well done tbh, I just feel they sorta blend together. I’d like to see something unique is all.Well now I'm curious what kind of artstyle you want since I was about to ask if people would be okay with an artstyle akin to New Super Lucky's Tale lol
Nintendo didn’t have a huge leap in graphics between Wii U and Switch. What makes you think they can’t create something new and exciting for the current system?
My gut says both Mario and Zelda aren’t going to feel like ‘been-there-done-that’ sequels after we get our hands on them.
Nintendo wants to release games now that will keep selling in 4-5 years even with a new console, so the titles released will be more than just budget releases (like cheap remasters) and derivative sequels imo. I think Nintendo wants the release of new hardware to affect the software output as little as possible
RIP Live A Live sales numbersIt's 100% going to be the year Persona 4 and 5 come to Switch because Xenoblade 3 is also coming out this year and that also means that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters will launch on Switch this year too.
Mostly to guarantee that I have to spend time complaining about there being too many RPGs.
I don’t get why so many remakes or unreal engine fan remakes of games from the n64/ps1 era they always change the daytime to sunset or early sunrise.
like, just make it day time like the game originally was lol.
I'll be there day one.RIP Live A Live sales numbers
What people think an "artsy game" looks like:It's too show off the shadows and because some people think it's more artsy.

Maybe 露马利 is Lumalee.The thrilling conclusion to the Chinese Donkey Kong trademark saga is finally here; it's the end of one mystery and the start of another!
One of the potential outcomes I was speculating about ended up being correct; the Donkey Kong and Peach trademarks were almost certainly filed for the upcoming Mario film. Not only did Battle League stick with the cast's existing localised names (debunking that potential explaination that was suggested here), but very recently they trademarked the names for the rest of the announced cast for the film, which seems fairly conclusive to me.
Quick comparison of their current names and what was in recent weeks; about half have remained the same but the rest are new localisations.

Mario's name has already been sufficiently trademarked in all necessary classifications, so there's no new trademarks for his name (it seems).
There was one more name trademarked on the same day as Bowser, Toad, Spike, Kamek and Cranky, though. I'm just not sure what 露马利 is supposed to be. I don't think it's a new localisation of Mario but my understanding of the language is too limited to throw out any guesses.
is diddy about to commit vehicular manslaughterseeing this
become this
always irks me way more than it probably should lol
oh god is this the new "yoshi commits tax evasion?"is diddy about to commit vehicular manslaughter
That is the closest Mario character name to it, but it’s a pretty far out there character to pick for the movie (the Luma shop owners from Galaxy) and would mean they’re abandoning the current translation for Luma that sticks to the Japanese name (which would be inconsistent with Bowser, Toad and the newly localized Foreman Spike).Maybe 露马利 is Lumalee.
the funniest scenario is persona 3, 4 and 5 and the pixel remasters all skipping switch and launching exclusively on xbox.It's 100% going to be the year Persona 4 and 5 come to Switch because Xenoblade 3 is also coming out this year and that also means that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters will launch on Switch this year too.

its time that diddy's dark deeds are finally exposedoh god is this the new "yoshi commits tax evasion?"
Why do you think Diddy rarely gets invited to Mario's friendly activities anymore?oh god is this the new "yoshi commits tax evasion?"
diddy's dark deeds

To think, audiences once thought Mario's incessant drug use scandalous.oh god is this the new "yoshi commits tax evasion?"
finally nintendo making a MATURE game for MATURE audiencesDonkey Kong Country

I'm definitely excited. Some good things tomorrow plus the other random shows soon (like the FF stream) will be enough to tide me over until the Direct happens. Hell I'll be excited if even one of those happens! (well, except for Overwatch 2, that's kind of whatever)For those interested, here's some third party Switch games we might see at tomorrow's Xbox Showcase:
It's worth keeping an eye on even if you're not a Xbox user.
- Hollow Knight Silksong (via Snitch and Nate)
- Persona 3 and/or 4 and/or 5 (via various)
- Goldeneye 007 (via Xbox leaks)
- Overwatch 2 (via Snitch, apparently it's going Free-to-Play)
- Banjo Kazooie (via MVG and Nate, BUT it's probably Xbox exclusive. I'm just throwing this in here because you never know)
Woah...what's the source on this? If it's closer to 3 years than 2 years, I honestly might even prefer they just hold off. This is either going to be a fairly intensive remake or a new game from the sound of that development time.According to Nate, that new Banjo project won't be ready until 2-3 years from now....do you really want them to announce it this early???
I suggest listening to the podcast. This is mostly speculation and not rumor. MVG did say he’s heard some rumblings from developer types but there isn’t anything concrete.Woah...what's the source on this?

I listened to the podcast and remember MVG's comments, but I must've somehow missed the 2-3 year comment if that's where it came from.

It wasn't a real window of expectation. It was a throwaway comment -- just to imply the game isn't coming in the immediate, so if the game is not announced this weekend that people don't need to panic. The game can be announced in a yr or whenver.According to Nate, that new Banjo project won't be ready until 2-3 years from now....do you really want them to announce it this early???

Unfortunately so.Oh you already know that if it's not announced tomorrow the mob is going after MVG
Hm I wonder why Switch is no longer mentioned for the P3P and P4G ports.Hey, if you don't want to take my word for it, take the word of the Era poster who was right about P4AU being ported to PS4/Switch/PC (and other things like the recent Taiko releases). They aren't sure about P5 but the other two are definitely headed everywhere. Safe to bet on P5R too though, i'd say.

It was Taiko no TatsujinThe first game mentioned could be Final Fantasy XIV?
You had Silent Hill, he has Banjo. It's only fair.Unfortunately so.
You can play it on your PCIf Banjo is real it has quite the nostalgia factor to fill, I wonder if anyone is up to that task so many years later. If the previews would look good I'd buy an XBox just to play it. I remember vouching year after year for that game to take shape and now 5000 years later I'm old and cranky and can't get so much happiness from the idea anymore. Maybe that'll change
Oh that would be nice, I am planning to build a PC at the end of the year when component prices might have settledYou can play it on your PC
