Ok. Here’s an idea. I’m gonna list a bunch of old Rare series and I want your opinions on which modern studios would be best to helm a new installment or Remakester of it (because heaven knows Rare can’t be bothered to do it themselves, they’re too busy making artsy crap). I personally have no idea.

Jetpac
Sabre Wulf
Banjo-Kazooie
Perfect Dark
Conker’s Bad Fur Day
Grabbed by the Ghoulies
Kameo: Elements of Power
Viva Piñata

Honorable mentions go to the 3D DK games, Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye 007, and Donkey Kong Country (since retro probably won’t touch the series again after they bankrupt themselves making Metroid Prime 4).

Y'know, I've actually been pretty attached to Eizouken lately, there's something about the main trio that appeals to me so much. I particularly like Kanamori just because of that constant cynical expression she gives off.



Midori's also a cute bean.​

I think you may have misinterpreted all of the news around Metroid Prime 4. Retro wasn't working on the game until AFTER it was restarted.

Yeah. I know. But Retro is a very troubled company with poor management and a Peter Principal epidemic that had to cancel one, possibly TWO games that they’d been working on between Tropical Freeze and now. They’re not long for this world.

AlphaDream croaked, Retro could be next, tbh.

I don't think Nintendo will let Retro go under, the games they make are pretty lucrative.

After surprise trading more than 50 times and catching some raid 'mons, I've filled up my Living PokeDex even furthur.

I won't be finishing it tonight, but tomorrow, I should be pretty close to done.

The only two foreseeable issues are Type Null and Zamazenta.

YouTube's been recommending me Brawl-era character wishlists and I'm not quite sure why. Not complaining, some of them can be quite funny. "Ever since the Nintendo 64, Banjo has been a Nintendo staple".

Ameican Bankruptcy is also a lot bigger deal than Japan from what I hear. Silicon Knights was forced to close down completely but only after they deleted and destroyed any and all projects they were working on as that property was forfeit to the debtors or, I think in Silicon Knights case, the government.

Japan Bankruptcy isn't quite the same. Again, I'm not 100% on that but a lot of the times Japanese companies that shut down will just pack up, move somewhere else, get a new name, start a new company, and pick up where they left off. This might be because I think Japan's government has a big stake in the Video Game economy since a large margin of Video Games are made by Japanese companies.

Didn't we just get Byleth in Smash and Animal Crossing Direct?

I get that they're not everyone's cup of tea and there's still a lot we don't know about this year but I really don't see Nintendo going full radio silence like some people act like.

Most people just want a bunch of general info from multiple games. Animal Crossing is popular, but like you said, it's not everyone's cup of tea. If they did this for Metroid or Tekken, sure, I'd be happy, but AC or Zelda fans wouldn't really care. So a general one as the chances of pleasing more people, even if those titles together wouldn't have a **** load of info.

On top of this, it's almost Spring, but we don't have a ton of info on either PS5 games nor the new X-Box games, so games in general seem kind of dry. I do get how irksome it can be to see people ask for a new direct every 3 hours though. Trust me, I do. It's best to just play games in the meantime, on top of literally everything else you can do in this wide wild world we live on.
