The last Nintendo Direct didn't show us anything new about Nintendo's next console, it remains to be seen if sometime in the Fall or 2024 they show something about it.

I don't get why people think we'll get a console reveal in a Direct. This never happened. Most we've seen are console revisions like the various 3DSes.

Granted, the Switch was the first actual console to have been in the works after Directs started being a thing (the Wii U was already announced months before the first Direct and the 3DS was already released) but they never revealed it in a Direct anyway, proving my point.

If the Switch is setting a precedent, it'll be that console reveals will always be their own thing, separate of any Direct.

Are we still doing top 10s? I'm going to cheat and combine characters if they appeal pretty much exactly the same way as each other to me.

1. Celebi or Jirachi
2. Void or Dark Matter
3. Other super specific Pokemon I really like (Whimsicott, Togetic, Shaymin, etc)
4. Spamton
5. Bandana Dee
6. Bizarre Mario character nobody asked for but I want (Includes Poochy, Wiggler and Polterpup)
7. Scream Tail
8. Plasm Wraith
9. Mario character people actually want that I like (Includes Waluigi and Toad/Toadette)
10. Fernandez/Fernandeath

The sequel to the Nintendo Switch system...

Wonder how they'll call it.

The Nintendo Pasta. It has the exact same line-up as the Switch except every game devolves into very poorly made creepypastas. Truly the revolutionary console we've all been waiting for.

If we're still doing personal top tens...

Edelgard
Kyle Hyde
Waluigi
Takamaru
Starfy
Sans
Frogger
Spring Man
Mach Rider
Gholdengo

Narrowing it down was a bit tough. Of these I think maybe three or four have good odds lmao.

What will be the HD Rumble for the next console?

Like, what will be a feature gimmick of the console itself that will only be used in like, 5 Nintendo mainline titles and then mostly forgotten about for the rest of the systems life? :wiismith:
Click to expand...
I’m pretty sure HD Rumble got used in a decent number of games; I think the real feature in that category is the Joycon R’s IR camera. The Labo games used it pretty well, but, beyond that, there was a single minigame in 1-2 Switch, the (optional) heart rate checker in Ring Fit Adventure, a minigame in Vitamin Connection IIRC, and that one third party app on the eShop that lets you see what the camera sees, and I can’t think of any others.

There’s also the gyroscope that’s in the Switch console itself, that also has only pretty obscure uses.


I wonder if they might do some kind of lifestyle thing in the same sort of genre as the Ring Fit heart rate checker, but it allows you to check your activity level and heart rate while playing any game in order to promote you exercise while playing, IDK. Although, the fact that this would support all games would make it not be niche.

I think Gholdengo has a shot to be a fighter or least a Poke Ball as Pokemon number 1,000. Even got that one video counting up to it. I'd say its main competition right now is Meowscarada(The anime starter) and Tinkaton(the breakout favourite)

Mach Rider could be potential retro rep

Sans and Waluigi still have a decent shot.

Takamaru... maybe if Sakurai decides to pull another Kid Icarus: Uprising

It reminds me of the absolute state of Donkey Kong games. I can get why stuff like Kid Icarus Uprising(which was a cult classic with sales that were just okay) can go so long without new games, but Tropical Freeze sold like 4 million. I guess Retro has been busy with Prime 4 recently though...

If Paper Mario was in Smash, ideally I would want to take elements from all the games rather than choose one basis over the other (even though Nintendo would probably want to use the later games as a basis, but that’s besides the point).

Decided to just go ahead and make a moveset. I based him off the first two games and Sticker Star because I figured Sm4sh would be the "ideal" point in time for him to join the battle.

New Eternal Darkness title where it gets spookier every time it detects a heart race increase. :demon:

I get the feeling the next switch won't have a gimmick, and will literally just be a beefier switch. I'd be happy to be wrong, since it's kinda boring if you don't care about graphics.
And for my top 10 if that's still happening (Unordered apart from No. 1):
  1. The Demifiend (Or any SMT rep, but he's the fan-favourite, and I'd like a Kaneko design in smash)
  2. Porky
  3. Adol (Literally just for the music)
  4. Professor Layton
  5. Dante
  6. An Etrian Odyssey rep (No clue who, maybe the fencer?)
  7. Impa
  8. KOS-MOS
  9. X-Parasite (Would transform into various Metroid enemies for attacks)
  10. Ryu Hayabusa (Again, mostly because of the music)
(Also Tatsuya Suou near the top, but there's no real point in mentioning him since there is literally no chance of that ever happening).

In all honesty, Eternal Darkness sounds like the perfect title to take advantage of the Joy-cons motion rumble/touch sensor thing that 1-2-Switch does. Imagine the game gets you to search for something and while you are searching for it, you "hit" something that isn't there and your Joy-cons react to it. Or your character walks into deep water and your Joy-cons make your hands feel like they are in the water like your character's hands. And so on and so forth.

Like considering the stuff Eternal Darkness pulled on you and your character, that sounds like the perfect title to pull off that kind of mind-boggle on you involving the Joy-cons.

It’s too bad Silicon Knights went defunct nine years go.

Pretty much the most insane thing I've ever is the guy in this video saying that Chibi-Robo Ziplash is in the same vain as Castlevania.

Also they could've gone into more detail about why some series died. They don't even mention that Treasure Games doesn't make games anymore, when talking about Sin and Punishment.

It is though. Zip Lash isn't good, but it does have nonlinear side scrolling levels. I can see why they'd be compared.

If you're just upset that he compared the two, well then, I'll have you know Zip Lash isn't even the worst Chibi Robo game. That's Photo Finder.

Is anyone interested in seeing content from smaller third party franchises that have some connection to Nintendo in the next Smash? I’ve brought up RARE enough times but I’d also love to see something from Disgaea and Octopath Traveller among others. While I think an Octopath Traveller character would be awesome, I’d be happy enough with just a stage. The HD2D aesthetic would make for a really unique stage and the games have amazing soundtracks that would fit Smash really well.
