It's already past their typical pace. While it is true an RPG can tend to take longer than the average game, GS1 and 2 aren't exactly large games to begin with. Never mind that they have more than enough experience with HD development at this point.
It'd be hard to get a VA less fitting than the current one.
Upside-Down Isaac
Oh, so he is a fan of Golden Sun? Excellent, hire him immediately.
It sounds like they made Isaac an alt costume for Steve...
Due to Covid, that might very well be true. Honestly, I'd be absolutely fine with that - so long as they announce what we can look forward to next year. If they'd just tell us what's coming, no matter how long it got delayed, I wouldn't be so frustrated about it! Let 2020 die, but show me the hope of 2021!
In an ideal world we would get full voice acting like FE does, but I'm only expecting partial voice acting. And because Isaac talks in TLA they have to cast someone for him.
Even ignoring Covid I don't think they had any more big things planned considering PS5 and XBSX come out this year.
I absolutely agree, and the idea of Nintendo basically ceding the holiday season to the console launches of their competitors would be bizarre. I'm just struggling to think of what exactly they could have to fill in that gap right now. As much as I'd like to believe Camelot actually has Golden Sun HD waiting to be revealed, that's a third remake or port after Mario and Pikmin. Do they have anything genuinely new for this holiday? With no E3 presentation to speak of nor any assurance a major Direct is actually coming this month, I'm left somewhat dumbfounded. For all I know All-Stars is the big holiday title, and that's a weird thought to have.
On one hand, all they have are re-releases.
If that was all they had they had no reason to put the collection in November as opposed to September. The whole point of the november release is to have a game for around black friday so that you move more switch units around the release of that game.
See, that right there is why I'm even considering the possibility. All-Stars isn't just any port, it's three major Mario ports. You don't even necessarily need anything else: between that game and potential Switch bundles with that and/or Animal Crossing, Nintendo's pretty much set. September's a bit early for a holiday release, granted, but it'll still be a major consideration for Switch sales on Black Friday just two months later. Maybe I'll be proven wrong by a Direct later this month, but right now, after that Mario Direct? I might not bet on it, but it's not an impossibility either.
Honestly, just show me Zelda, and am content at this point. Why leave us with just one trailer that leaves so much for speculation?
Yeah I remember seeing a lot of people talking about the archive being updated and then the Mario Direct got shadow dropped 2 days later. So we MIGHT be getting something soon.
Well, that would certainly fit with the September Direct narrative. Still weird they wouldn't have saved the Mario information for that, but with any luck that just means a Direct so jam-packed with news that all the 35th Anniversary details made more sense as it's own presentation. Otherwise you end up with something like E3 2018, where more than half the Direct was simply Smash Ultimate.
To be fair, the Mario direct was more than just games. They went over the online events, the pins, the shoes, etc. I'd imagine we could just have a short, clean mini of various stuff that's coming next year, now that all the filler has been trimmed off.
Partner Showcases are included, so rather than a grain of salt, make it a teaspoonful.
I dunno about that. We literally just got one. So far, it seems that they'll be an end of the month thing.
A Super Mario Bros. G&W that doesn't even acknowledge the real SMB G&W
Maybe they just wanted from the start for Mario to have its own presentation since it's their mascot and its anniversary? I don't think it's more complicated than that really
That one's easy: Pikmin 3 Deluxe, out October 30th.
Oh my. I thought that was the September release. I can't keep it straight anymore. lol
I think we're done now. In another year a December game might've still been possible, but 2020 has thrown Nintendo for a bigger loop than they'll admit, and I believe they're adapting by putting most of their eggs in the 2021 basket.
