This reminds me of Smash Ultimate's first trailer, a friend of mine thought it'd be a port of the first game to which I said "It already exists it's called Splatoon 2"

Anyway smh y'all not mentioning the ultimate gaming experience known as Nintendoland

Going to be honest, I think Smash Ultimate kind of spoiled me with all the returning characters and stages that I'd be reluctant to buy the next instalment. I'm already not convinced that Banjo & Kazooie are going to return so they'll have to impress me with some good single player content and cooler stages to keep me hooked to Smash Bros, otherwise I'll just stick to Ultimate. Even then I'd still be on the fence whether I'll buy it or not because I know that not every single character and stage will return.

An Ultimate deluxe sounds like a good thing but wouldn't they have to get the rights to all the characters again to let them appear in an Ultimate deluxe?

That would depend on if Ultimate DX is considered a new project or not, which is a gray area in itself.

One could make the argument for either - on one hand it would not be a new project because it's fundamentally the same game as vanilla Ultimate (like MK8 DX is fundamentally the same as Wii U MK8), but on the other hand an Ultimate DX would be a a project on another console and thus a "contract extension" of sorts.

Either way, Nintendo's likely to take the safe approach: they would probably want to be sure they can get all the rights before comitting to an Ultimate DX.

Lost World (which was an exclusive) and Rise of Lyric had some potential... but then again, the former had some strange inconsistencies in both story and gameplay, and the latter... yeah. They're reasons if anyone's morbidly curious.

At least Eggman shot a tree in Rise of Lyric and was insanely proud about that. (Linked commentary / playthrough starts just a little before Eggman shoots the tree, where the commentators question why water-based turrets are being destroyed by water.)

Geez man, I'm not sure. After all, Dr. Mario didn't come with Dr. Battlefield, but maybe we'll get that now. :V

Wasn't it also Zell who said something like "One more stop before the main event"? Could this Pikmin 3 Deluxe count?

Okay, hear me out: Yoshi's Woolly World Definitive Edition. It has content from both the Wii U and 3DS versions.

That and a similar Donkey Kong Country Returns Deluxe release with elements from the Wii & 3DS games would both be great, but I'm not holding my breath.

They should see if Rockstar is able to get back all the radio songs for GTAV on PS5 first. And trust me, that's not gonna be cheap. Just look at Los Santos Rock Radio and Non-Stop-Pop in particular, those are large stations full of hit songs.

It's good to see Hey! Pikmin didn't bury the franchise.

That being said, I think this is a sign from the Nintendo gods that a full Direct is happening in November at the absolute earliest. This announcement kinda strikes me as "Hey, we'd normally put this type of thing in a standard direct, but its releasing in just under three months and we have no direct in that time, so have it here instead", similar to how Paper Mario had no real direct to carry it.

There's also a couple of indie games that are exclusive to the WiiU. Armillo which is kind of like Pac-Man meets Mario Galaxy and there's meme run that is... errr... yeah...

Say, I heard somewhere that there was some kind of law in Japan that you have to announce a product at least 30 days in advance to give people time to pre-order it or something along those lines. Does anybody mind factchecking that for me? Because that may explain a few things with these announcements.

I find kind of funny that we've reached the point of such unknown speculation about news that a prediction of small shadowdrops and/or mini directs in August and no formal significant stuff till September/October is either too optimistic or too cynical depending on which segment of the fandom is hearing about it.

More Wii U ports huh. That reminds me, we still do not have our yearly major Zelda release...

...Wind Waker or Twilight Princess port in September??

I'd say it is possible but also why wouldn't they announce that before an October release?

It's pretty funny to me that we learned a surprising amount of plans for the Switch today, we got Pikmin 3 DX, SMTV being implied to be an early 2021 title and Travis' VA spreading around the NMH leak on his twitter
oh and Baby Battlefield too

TPC has high quality models of every Pokemon, it wouldn't be hard to recreate Poke Floats. Yeah it'd be asset reuse, but remember when Sakurai bragged about how much of the DQ11 overworld he managed to fit into that stage? Asset reuse is already a big time thing. Even Min Min is asset reuse.

The reason they didn't was probably because they don't put as much value in the "so bad its good" factor as the internet seems to. Maybe they just saw it as "so bad its bad" like all those other scrolling/moving stages that didn't return.

FD/Battlefield being Avalugg with Stunfisks will never not be funny though.

I mean, would they really take issue with it, when they've already done it in Melee with the N64 models from Pokemon Stadium?

Yup. Unceremonious twitter drop. As expected, lol. Well, at least it's out there now.

Not like there was a very short, fairly lacklustre recent Direct that could've benefitted greatly even with just the announcement of a Pikmin port. Nope. Nothing comes to mind...

I mean Nintendo always gonna Nintendo, but some of their calls are so head-scratching I could wear my nails down.

I think by her saying that they saw the stage as "so bad, it's bad" was referring to its overall design rather than how it was made. It is quite a silly stage in terms of design.


Then again Brinstar Depths is also a silly stage and that one got remade so...

Another slightly less headscratching example was when they did an Indies World presentation... and then dropped the Silksong trailer the day after - keep in mind that the Switch trailer was the very fist trailer that game got, or at least the first console one.

Based on Tsubasa, I'm thinking two more shadowdrops for the rest of the year, followed by a September Direct that details the beginning of 2021.
