Yeah, the build ups for Smash 4 and Ultimate were cool in their own way but neither of them really lived up to the hype I felt about the Dojo. We got a lot more than just a picture most days and got some piece of information, whether it’s a description of a new item, explaining a new feature, or something else.
Music.
You missed the punchline.
There's still a chance of a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe+ happening instead of a Mario Kart 9.
But like...that makes no sense assuming the next console is backwards compatible. Plus, MK8D being Nintendo's best-selling game ever should absolutely warrant a brand new game in the first place.
the fact that this stage is usually stuck on its most boring setting makes me sad! The ship and bowser castle are so much cooler!
Geno.
Paper Mario and Geno both have a decent shot at becoming fighters this time around.
with any luck it'll amount to more of yoko's music. and some more from ttyd
I still remember begin 9 yo and checking out the updates back in 2007....it was so hype.
I didn't even think MK8D was worth buying until the Booster Course Pass. I don't think DLC is going to sway me into buying MK8 a third time.
They could go back to subtitles, but since Tour is considered a part of the main series, it will be the 10th entry so they won't call it 9, and since I can't speculate on what the subtitle will be instead, 10 it is.
...Me too.
Personally i've always been down for Paper Mario on the roster
SMRPG: I've opted to remain completely neutral on the Geno situation, but if there's ever a time for him to be playable it's right this moment. A remake of his debut game, released to critical and commercial success, negates one of the greatest arguments and obstacles against him. Against all odds, he is a Switch-relevant character. I have to doubt much more than a few spirits or songs will appear with Geno himself, so substantial representation kinda hinges on that.
Absolutely, it’s only a matter of time.
Too early. Give it about 9 years.
Here’s hoping it’s a return to the standard set by TTYD, though with a few of the innovations from Origami King like more open areas.
I think we gotta get a new 3D Mario first, but a 2D game will definitely come eventually.
Odyssey 2. Then NSMB All-Stars. Then 3D Galaxy. Then Wonder 2.
I'm actually kind of in agreement with Stratos on thinking we'll see a new Donkey Kong game. I feel like it won't be any time soon obviously, but Retro has been mostly dedicated their resources to Prime 4 I feel like, so once that comes out, I feel like they'd wanna work on something else after like 6 years, and a new Donkey Kong would fill that role pretty well I think.
As a fan of the DK franchise I've decided the most effective way to avoid disappointment is to abandon all hope. If you never expect anything, you never get let down
Poor Retro, constantly flip flopping between Metroid games and monkey games. When are they gonna get to do something different?
It would be better if Arms is a launched title for the next console.
I mean outside of assistance on MK7, that's about all they've put out, and when they try to do something else, it tends to get cancelled according to Wikipedia, so I mean they could TRY and do something new! I dunno how well it would go given their track record from my small amount of research though lol
I really hope they could bring back some other dead nintendo IP.As a fan of the DK franchise I've decided the most effective way to avoid disappointment is to abandon all hope. If you never expect anything, you never get let down

Is Geno retro?
Yes he's from a snes game even if it got a remake.
Hayabusa #1!
Metroid monkey game.
Samus gets to the point where the only primate DNA left in her body after having so much Chozo and Metroid DNA injected in her makes her return to monke.
I know this is a copout answer, but pretty much all of them. With how little space there was in Ultimate, I feel like characters like that were not of especially high priority or strong consideration. Sure, characters like Simon or K. Rool appealed to a nostalgic sensibility but I'm referring to more out there picks like Takamaru, Mach Rider, Ayumi, whatever who would be kinda hard to justify when trying to optimize only 6 or 7 unique newcomer slots.
Donkey Kong x Metroid crossover, why not. Let's go.
I think one will happen, and the only reason we don't have one right now is because Retro Studios is busy right now with Prime 4 which is taking a very long time to develop.
I actually think Sakurai might try to add a more obscure retro than usual if they return to 12+ newcomers instead of the more expected ones like Exitebiker or Takamaru, for a change of peace.
It's a nice idea, but I don't think Sakurai would make an obscure pull just for the sake of obscurity. Most "retro" type characters have come from pretty influential games, or those that were quite popular in their heyday. Ice Climber is definitely not as obscure as Tomato Adventure, which was never localized. Ice Climber also arguably influenced certain platforming mechanics and co-op gameplay that would manifest in other Nintendo games down the line. It's not an especially popular or fondly remembered game nowadays, but someone like Sakurai would recognize its ambition and influence.
