"We regret to inform you that these games that don't even have a ballpark on their respective release dates, or any information at all really, have been delayed."
Ah yes, Pikmin 3. The spoopiest Halloween game.
Any of you pre-ordered Pikmin 3 DX?
If rumors are to be believed, Nintendo thought so too, but COVID-19 delayed it to now.

Can't believe they added Hero to BD2.
Tempted to use this class a lot. It seems fun to use.
Maybe they wanted to focus on the new Story of Seasons game?
That's pretty much in line with what Nintendo does to whatever series that isn't already major.
I was about to say, isn't killing their own hype kind of Nintendo's schtick these days?
Pretty much lol
Every time I think of the way the Star Fox franchise has been treated, it makes my blood boil. I absolutely LOVED Star Fox 64 as a kid and I feel that there's still a lot of awesome things they could do with the franchise, but just because Star Fox Zero sucked due to their own horrifying lack of imagination, they probably think the franchise is ready to go the way of F-Zero. C'mon, people, LEARN from your screw-ups. Stop pushing your craptastic motion control gimmicks and focus on the gameplay. Nobody wants to fight their own controls just to play a game.
But they still chose banjo when he is on hiatus with fan demand aside.
Like I just said...Miyamoto won't let it die lol

Star Fox still gets notable stuff like a big crossover with Ubisoft's Starlink, and even has an entire segment dedicated to it in Nintendo's Amazon store.

Ooohhh... what is it, a licensed game? I honestly can't tell.
I do find it hilariously ironic that Starlink did better with the IP than Star Fox Zero actually did. LOL
That's the ugliest "Coming in 2021" design I've seen."Graphic design is my passion"
To be slightly fair, it is something that most major companies (Sony and Microsoft as well, wouldn't be surprised if mobile giants are included in this too) struggle with that. The major titles tend to take up so much space that smaller IPs regularily gets drowned out...
Cloud gaming is not a replacement for local games on Switch, it is simply a way to further enhance the Switch ecosystem

The hybrid nature of Switch is also a plus. No need to switch to a mobile device with touch controls. You get the same cloud game experience handheld or on TV
Still though: for Miyamoto, it's always play first. He starts with a mechanic, then pairs an IP to it. Any game that doesn't bring something new is practically inconcievable to him:
It lead to this quote a year later:
FTR, I don't mind Miyamoto trying out new ideas: in this case trying to use stereoscopic 3D (Star Fox 64 3D) and Gyro controls (Star Fox Zero). Whenever he makes the next Star Fox (or Pikmin) game, it's when he has a mechanic in mind he believes could bring something new to the table. Which does beg the question if the next Star Fox game will be AR / VR or try something different entirely.
And that's why it's the best.
Makes the chances that we'll get the coolest ninja playable in Smash that tiny bit more likely! Can't believe some of y'all are dissing him. He'd be great, and he'd kinda count as a retro rep. We could use another one, we only really have
and kinda for Ultimate.
This is low key giving me Sin & Punishment vibes for some reason. Maybe it’s the art style?
It's Suda. It's intentional.
I know right the midis alone lowered Dragon Quest's stage quality.
Well said. In my opinion, if they took the open galaxy approach Starlink did but with more refined dogfighting and customization along with maybe short rail-shooting stints in between planet hopping, it would be pretty fun direction. I liked how Starlink's liberation of planets felt more like a military campaign rather than a galactic grand tour. Add in some classics like the Landmaster and some sweet land-based fighting and it would be fairly solid. I really don't feel like it would take that much insane innovation to make a good new SF game. Just add some more depth to the gameplay, weapons, customization and story. We don't need some new-fangled control gimmicks for it to be good.
I feel like we might get SOMETHING, given the time of year, but I can't think of what. TGA? A General Direct? No idea.
More likely then nothing probably nothing.
Anyone want to place any bets as to whether we get anymore announcements this year? My optimistic side thinks we'll get SOMETHING but given Nintendo's PR performance this year, I could see us going totally dry into January.
