The thing with Wayforward is interesting. Anyone else think it's gonna be another collaberation project like with Mario + Rabbids and Cadence of Hyrule?

The wording in the tweet makes it sound like WayForward is working on a Nintendo franchise that has already existed but not under WF's helm, though I guess it could be a completely new franchise and they just messed up their words.

If it's a pre-existing franchise, my guesses are either Wario Land or Metroid. Maybe Golden Sun or Advanced Wars or something too though I think Shantae is a metroidvania so...

edit: okay my final guess is it's Wario Land and we'll also get to play as Waluigi in a mainline game for the first time and this is a precursor to Waluigi in Smash

Very random to put a WayForward reveal in a Paper Mario gameplay presentation.

But I have a feeling it'll be something awesome. Shame I won't be able to watch it live.

Ok settling down now.

Guess the reason assuming these are true being noticed now is due to the monitoring and lockdown of the world right now. Plus let's remind ourselves the social distancing and lockdown is the best-case scenario right now preventing these other viruses from spreading.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
We live in a better timeline. How would Smash handle making two versions of Pikachu for Japan and the rest of the world?

I could unironically see Wayforward doing something involving Metroid.

Iirc the last Shantae games were Metroidvanias (I need confirmation doh, as I haven't played them).

It could also just be a whole new IP.

Nobody in their right mind is expecting a Smash reveal tomorrow.
yeah it feels like regardless of whether or not we're are actually expecting a smash reveal in any gaming event, people will pull the "haha silly smash fans, expecting smash in everything, amirite fellas?" card even when no one is actually expecting smash

Yeah, exactly.

I'm getting tired of people assuming that all Smash fans are thirsty for constant updates when the truth of the matter is that a good portion of us can actually want updates on games other than Smash. Ain't no need for a "hype control" guy to tell us not to expect Smash tomorrow and that's because, well, we aren't.

The only prediction that I'm not making about this WayForward thing is something Smash related. But I wouldn't mind that.

But I would not have expected WayForward to have a relationship with Nintendo like this and that makes it very exciting.

I'm rooting for WayForward's project to be a new 2D Metroid given their experience with the genre.

Throw in a Shantae cameo/easter egg, too

Edit: Well **** me sideways

Well, R.I.P. the odds of a WayForward developed Nintendo property...
R.I.P. my dreams of Wario Land ft. Waluigi.

This is extremely odd, a new franchise they're making or at least making a title for (it being "new" in that they haven't worked on it before maybe) and yet it's being revealed in a Nintendo presentation that's primarily about Paper Mario?
