I thought Markomaro had a tweet talking Mario a while back, but I guess it was someone else and I got them confused. Fatman is the best source I can give you because I know he mentioned it, and April Fools is not his holiday.
Ah okay. I guess I missed that part of Marko's info. Then again, I could have been subconsciously ignoring them since they had a leak for a "3DS Paper Mario remake".
On Paper Mario:
Paper Mario rumors first came about insider circles October or so according to one of my guys. Markomaro was the first to make them public in November but it largely slipped under the radar. In January, Sabi basically put it on blast on Twitter.
Didn't Marko only say a 3DS remake though and not a true PM3?
On Zelda:
Two of my guys have supported the idea that Nintendo is going to try its damnest to make BotW2 a 2020 release.
YOOOOOOOOO for real?! I watched Arlo's vid when he's like "oh yeah it's gotta be our holiday 2020 release" and I'm just thinking to myself "nah there's noooooo way". I'd be super stoked if that's the case as BOTW1 was a (needless to say it) amazing game! Makes sense to want to push it though when you have two other competitors launching a new console.
God speed to Nintendo but apparently Nintendo literally pushed this idea on its employees right after E3 2019 wrapped up so I think there will be a serious attempt.
Really, that far back? Just seemed weird to say it's "in development" then they're like "HERE IT IS A YEAR LATER, READY FOR THE HOLIDAY", y'know? "In development" sounded like it'd be 2021's holiday title, or possibly an early 2022 title. I would be absolutely blown away if they can push it to 2020, while also pushing hard on Mario stuff... and Geno of course.
Where's Metroid?:
Everything I've heard about Prime 4 is that development is an absolute trainwreck and apparently so bad that people were predicting it missing E3 2020 back in October and November.
Rip, I'm not expecting it for awhile but even then, my interest in Prime waned heavily when the second game came out. Don't get me wrong, Prime 1 and Fusion were my first Metroid games (despite being a SNES kid, I never had Super Metroid) and amazing ones at that, but idk, Prime 2 just didn't hold me like Prime 1 did and I never even touched Prime 3, so I'm okay if that's stuck in development hell for a bit. More interested in Metroid 5 news personally, but for the people who went bonkers over Prime 4 simply existing, I feel bad for em.
Thanks as usual for the info dump Fatman! =)
Man that sucks about metroid. What even happend to cause all this?!
A change in studio and having to redo the ENTIRE game for one. Nintendo wasn't a fan of the direction the original development was going.
Wow. I'm totally surprised that Nintendo giving a project to developers who haven't put out a game in 6 years are having development problems.
I mean, to be fair, it also restrarted completely after years of development, so I wouldn't be surprised if it got stuck in development hell for awhile.
Hopefully, this doesn't indicate wider development problems at Nintendo that is why 2020 is so sparse.
Prime 4 seems like a very unique case. Nintendo's just bad at pacing. Hell even Sakurai is guilty of that (see the 3 Smash directs pre-launch and FP1).
Knowning than since litteraly august you heard stuff like this make me think than your smash theories are also real, what mean
CP6: MinMin
CP7: Geno
CP8: Crash (All these three at E3 2020)
CP9: Lloyd Irving
CP10: Dante
CP11: Master Chief
An Echo
Another Echo
An Iwata Tribute
Waluigi
That looks like a very solid FP pack and bonuses. I could really ask for a much better pass because anything much better is a total pipe dream that wouldn't happen.
The geno hat fits for crash, also i like it cause geno and crash are my most wanted for Fp2
Never touched a Crash game, have no idea what he or his games are about, but the more I look at these avatars and peoples' love for him, the more I'm kinda passively rooting for him TBH. If he got in, I might look into the trilogy, and I wouldn't be annoyed or angry at his inclusion (granted if I get Geno, anyone after that doesn't even matter, haha). Here's hoping you get your two top boys.
