This thread will help.Hey can someone send me a link to an EPD breakdown chart or something
I am constantly mixing up EPDs and at this point have zero idea which one did what
The thing is, Stinker Horseperson basically negates half those releases due to how catastrophically stinky it will be, so we can fit more quality releases due to thatThere's no way next year we get a new 3D mario, Xenoblade 3, BOTW2, Pokémon, Splatoon, Bayonetta 3 and more. I think we shouldn't expect much more than what we already know. The goal is not to concentrate all the big releases on a single fiscal year and few months apart.
I think if there's a tie-in Mario (2D or 3D), it will at the very least be as vanilla as possible. It won't be Odyssey 2, it probably wouldn't be New Super Mario Bros, it'll just strive to be "Mario."@Raccoon honestly you raise a pretty good point about synergy with the Mario movie in that fantasy calendar of yours!
What if they materialize SMO2 right on time with the movie?!
If you guess that right, the godhood you claimed in that MK thread will be affirmed.
What if they intentionally developed a tie-in movie specific game tho?if a Mario game can align with the movie that would be a plus but Nintendo isn't going to rush something as important as mainline 3D Mario or Mario Kart or something for an arbitrary deadline when the movie can just boost existing Mario evergreen sales
They really are pro-consumers huhThe thing is, Stinker Horseperson basically negates half those releases due to how catastrophically stinky it will be, so we can fit more quality releases due to that
Brilliant strategy by Nintendo
Katy Lied. It has more stinkers than any other Dan album IMO, but Bad Sneakers, Doctor Wu, and Your Gold Teeth II are my three favorite cuts from the entire discography. Those three combined with the handful of mediocre songs, a young Jeff Porcaro playing drums on all but one track, and the infamous engineering incident that almost killed the whole project give it a lot of character.Yo @Raccoon what’s your favorite steely dan album.
It's not that unrealistic. Nintendo publish around 20 games a year across retail and digital, inclusive of third-party titles which they publish in certain regions. Usually, they publish 3 to 5 'big' selling games each year, too (let's say 10 million plus for the sake of ease of discussion).There's no way next year we get a new 3D mario, Xenoblade 3, BOTW2, Pokémon, Splatoon, Bayonetta 3 and more.

The Ilumination partnership has been in the works since late 2016, and the last 3D Mario game (again barring Bowser's Fury) came out in late 2017. It might be a bit of a reach but I see nothing about the timeline that precludes itif a Mario game can align with the movie that would be a plus but Nintendo isn't going to rush something as important as mainline 3D Mario or Mario Kart or something for an arbitrary deadline when the movie can just boost existing Mario evergreen sales
I was thinking more along the lines of merely timing a new game with the movie, rather than making something FOR the movie.I think if there's a tie-in Mario (2D or 3D), it will at the very least be as vanilla as possible. It won't be Odyssey 2, it probably wouldn't be New Super Mario Bros, it'll just strive to be "Mario."
If they really want to synergize, they may do a game that matches the visual style of the movie and features its settings (which so far seem to at least include the Mario Bros' city and a construction site therein).
I have no idea if a full 3D Mario is possible by then, but if we assume that Bowser's Fury wasn't a massive undertaking and that MonkEPD is a 2D game, which rumors seem to corroborate, then we could get a Super Mario Movie 3D platformer. That's just my guess, though.
God it's been way too long since I've played Hollow Knight but if I'm thinking of the same door you are I'm pretty sure it's entirely optional. Definitely not where you're supposed to go to progress.Can someone familiar with Hollow Knight help me? I'm a bit stuck. I'm still in the early game, just defeated the Silksong protagonist for the first time, met the hunter, and now I'm trying to figure out where to go next. Am I supposed to unlock that door near Dirtmouth next?
The movie was also delayed by a year, and Nintendo's pipeline by who knows how long due to COVID so if there was ever any plans from 2016 to align the Mario movie and a big Mario game release they are probably in the shitter now. In general if you try to develop a video game to perfectly line up with a movie that means it has to be developed in under a year with no money and a huge time crunch.The Ilumination partnership has been in the works since late 2016, and the last 3D Mario game (again barring Bowser's Fury) came out in late 2017.

I'm not even sure if Nintendo would want to explicitly tie a game to the movie, but I think a shared visual style and handful of settings could be appropriate.I was thinking more along the lines of merely timing a new game with the movie, rather than making something FOR the movie.
Honestly, I don't think Nintendo's gonna do an actual movie tie-in.
Now I'm even more confused lol. Where the heck do I go?God it's been way too long since I've played Hollow Knight but if I'm thinking of the same door you are I'm pretty sure it's entirely optional. Definitely not where you're supposed to go to progress.
Dorky cartoon guy is actually overpowered God who could beat up GokuSaw Multi-verse.
I still don’t get the Shaggy meme. I’m becoming no fun allow guy
Wherever you want, you'll probably find progress.Now I'm even more confused lol. Where the heck do I go?
Bringing up the original movie date actually makes me more confident in there being some sort of connection. 3D Mario has had a pretty solid cadence for a while of 3.5 to 4 years, which would have put the next one in 2021. Adding to that the fact that Bowser's Fury was originally poised for the second half of 2020 could paint a picture about the intended release timeline for 3D Mario.The movie was also delayed by a year, and Nintendo's pipeline by who knows how long due to COVID so if there was ever any plans from 2016 to align the Mario movie and a big Mario game release they are probably in the shitter now.

But like, I'm not seeing any way to progress on the map. It's just a bunch of dead ends.Wherever you want, you'll probably find progress.
Iirc, the closest thing to a dev intended route has you go towards the mushroom region next. Follow the signs that point towards a city like thing
Wait. So I do get it.Dorky cartoon guy is actually overpowered God who could beat up Goku
That's it
That's the meme
Post a picture of your map? Maybe that'll helpBut like, I'm not seeing any way to progress on the map. It's just a bunch of dead ends.
Nintendo of America always seemed to have an interest in supporting the scene. It was usually Japan that would cause some hurdle. Base off a few tidbits I’ve heard about.Genuinely wonder what caused Nintendo to pivot, or if they finally just got worn down after years of being pestered about it.
RIP to the Melee rollback netcode project tho
oil barrels aflame, wooden casks descending from on highMore than anything I want a 3D Mario level in a construction site

I'll have to do it later. Although, I'm not sure how to transfer images from my Switch to my phone.Post a picture of your map? Maybe that'll help
It's hard to get a good idea of where exactly you need to go since HK is a pretty open game (and also it's been a while since I played it last so I'm not entirely sure of the exact order of progression)
Correct!Stinky Horseman Battery Staple
I think it's likely neither the movie or the game were required to launch alongside one another, but that Nintendo will want to maximise the launch of the Mario movie and the sales of any Mario games in 2022.I don't feel completely confident in this idea or anything, but I do think it's possible and as such will continue to defend it as best I can
JUL: some shit nobody gives a fuck about
Mmm, that's true. Makes sense they were the sole reason they pushed as hard as they did to get the Nintendo Championships in 2015 and 2017 with E3. Honestly I wonder why NCL has such an aversion to supporting the competitive scene; hell it's their actions as a whole that make it hard to take to take their little twitter bio of "We're listening, too" seriously.Nintendo of America always seemed to have an interest in supporting the scene.

I should stress that Nintendo is sitting on a bunch of finished games.There's no way next year we get a new 3D mario, Xenoblade 3, BOTW2, Pokémon, Splatoon, Bayonetta 3 and more. I think we shouldn't expect much more than what we already know. The goal is not to concentrate all the big releases on a single fiscal year and few months apart.
To be fair. They do listen and have shown that in response. Just the response isn’t always what we want lol.Mmm, that's true.

RIP to a real one
quoting for the new page because I think it's important context for my silly little argumentOkay, a direct movie tie-in? Would be cool, I think it could happen
The game being as vanilla as possible to make it "compatible" with the movie? 100% happening
That assumes, of course, that we're due for one. Maybe Bowser's Fury was a big project, maybe something's wrong at EPD8, maybe Donkey Kong is asphyxiating the series, or maybe the next game is just more ambitious
