It’s quiet, a little to quiet… Nintendo direct/ announcement is imminent!
aw, fiddlesticks! I'll catch the next oneThe Direct already happened. You just missed it.
Yeah and 3D and 2D Mario have been constant releases before.3d Mario is so over due… actually so is 2d Mario, donkey Kong, kid Icarus, Metroid, punch out, top down Zelda, star tropics, where do I begin?
Is it about time for NSO Expansion Pass to get something like GBA? I only have the basic NSO so I haven't been following new releases on the expansion. It just feels like N64 has been available for a while now. The next direct could be a good time to expand that service even more!
I don't think Nintendo needs Rare to rerelease Donkey Kong 64 again, DKR on the other hand they probably need Rare for cuz of BanjoN64 and Genesis were added in Fall 2021. They still have half a dozen announced N64 games to release in 2023 (including GoldenEye, 1080, ExciteBike 64) so I think that will carry us to the summer. And since they clearly made a deal with Rare, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw other Rare games - especially those with Nintendo characters like DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing. So I wouldn’t expect a new console to be added before the fall.

They should actually make brand new games.you know everyone says grezzo should remake the oracle and minsh cap games like link's awakening but i personally think they should remake zelda 1
+ 2 and make them actually fun games to play

let’s not get too wild in here nowThis but with A Link to the Past instead.
I think I saw Emily or Nate have a post once which hit almost a hundred Yeah!s. I'm sure the devs could look up the stats thoughIt might be! We had a staff post last week that had fifty plus yeah!’s as well.
I guess that means people like us!
Or fear us
Yeah, I agree. It will be announced in a Direct, not on FamiboardsSpeaking of the next 3D Mario. I don't see it being announced here
Aka Other MMetroid Crime
I intend to play that this year.Aka Other M
Nintendo fans and not wanting to new games, name a more iconic duoThey should actually make brand new games.
I’m someone who values personal opinions above all else when it comes to liking games, so you may like it or notI intend to play that this year.
There’s no way it’s that bad, right?

Gonna need another staff message to calm the masses!let’s not get too wild in here now

Things are bad when even Sonic can't speed his way through his backlogI mean
If they slowed down their new release schedule then maybe I'd have a shot at getting through everything I wanna play so like..
I mean…what do you value in metroid?I intend to play that this year.
There’s no way it’s that bad, right?
I need to finish it since I started, but the worst part (haven’t gotten to story parts yet) is having to hold the Wii remote like a pointer to shoot missiles but everything else is controlled like it’s an NES controller. Just poor design decision.I intend to play that this year.

I mean it's not really that weird, it's more that FE has a dedicated studio (well that and Paper Mario) and a pretty short dev cycle, while the other games are all made by studios busy with other things (which also happen to have longer dev times)Yup Nintendo basically retired nearly every franchise I care about. Basically left waiting for so many good franchises to come back. It's kind of weird that we can get so many Fire Emblem games but not one new Donkey Kong or new top down Zelda (beyond a remake) among other dormant beloved franchises.
Played it 2020/21 for the first time and really enjoyed it.I intend to play that this year.

rn im feeling a launch with a weird epd4 game and cross-gen metroid prime 4 for the hardcore audience in march 2024 and then a 3d mario in october/november for the holiday push
Is it? What games get made, not just at Nintendo but at any company, are often less about "will this sell?" and "is there someone with an idea pushing for it?". There's a reason chibi robo, despite being a perpetual bomba, kept getting new games for a decade while F-Zero or Startropics or insert your favorite dead Nintendo IP here got none. Do you really want Nintendo to call Grezzo or Mercury Steam or Retro or any other 1st/2nd/3rd party company and say "hope y'all have a good idea for how to make a modern Mach Rider, cause that's what you're working on have fun!" That would likely lead to awful games which dead IP don't need.Yup Nintendo basically retired nearly every franchise I care about. Basically left waiting for so many good franchises to come back.

Hey you never know, if we pretend to announce it maybe it'll force Nintendo's hand.Yeah, I agree. It will be announced in a Direct, not on Famiboards
Really, it's biggest problem is how the story and action clash. It's trying (and honestly failing) and being an action game with fast movement and fast attacks (as well as the introduction to the counter mechanic that is so underutilized that no one realizes its in there until they read it in a post) but whenever you get into a groove the game stops itself in its tracks for a slow, plodding, plot that kind of goes nowhere. This constant back and forth is really what gets this game down. But as someone who did enjoy the gameplay (and personallly think you can have both a fun game and interesting story with every element in Other M if the exeuction wasn't so bad), its this part that is the largest factor in this game not working.I intend to play that this year.

Happy Future Birthday @kaydeejayJust gonna chime in and say that while I'm a dedicated supporter of Team February, my birthday is in 2 days and a surprise Direct would reaaaaaally put the icing on the ol proverbial cake, so to speak. The original Switch Presentation was on my birthday and that was a really neat gift!
Many thanks, friend!!
A new Donkey Kong game could be cross-gen?At the moment I'm kind of struggling to think of what titles would be cross-gen, since the topic came up. If the hardwre launches this year, Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4 would be cross-gen games. If not, then I feel like all there would be is Pokemon, a random 2024 Kirby game, maybe a Mario Party if we get one in 2024?
I can't imagine most of the major releases going forward would be cross-gen, at least not the ones made by Nintendo themselves. Pokemon and Mario Party and Kirby can help keep the Switch selling, aside from that I'm having a hard time thinking of what would be cross-gen.
Which franchises they retired you care about?
I feel like it's already been too long a dev cycle for 3D Mario and they're just waiting for the right time to drop one, like with Mario Kart. If they launch in Q1 Metroid Prime 4 would be a big title to push to the hardcore audience who buys it day one and 3D Mario would serve as that for a more general audience going into the holiday seasonIt's possible, but to me holiday 2024 just seems like too long a dev cycle for 3D Mario. That would be 7 years since Odyssey and over 3.5 years since Bowser's Fury. Also I know they don't need a really big title to launch new hardware, but I feel like they would want one.
Especially given that Nintendo seems to be using ports and remakes as trials for new releases (Pikmin 4 and Metroid Dread following 3 DX and Samus Returns come to mind). Both in terms of testing out dev teams and seeing whether the series is profitable enough to develop.If a particular series or subset of a series is still getting ports or remakes of older titles, it hasn't been retired.
I don’t care about what “vibe” it emits. I think I prefer traditional 3D Mario (Sunshine, 64) in that sense too.Speaking of the next 3D Mario. I don't see it being announced here, but if it is or isn't, I hope it's more Odyssey than Bowser's Fury. I really prefer 3D Mario to lean hard into the immersive sorta earthy story focused nature of 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, and Odyssey. I don't much care for when they try to force 2D Mario elements into 3D Mario.
That said, not to bring up hardware, but I do think it'll be a launch title.
