This what breaks my brain. It could literally mean a specific style, but which one? it's such a vague way to describe anything lol. But considering They've been making so much Zelda remakes, I think it's probably along the same lines. GS does fit that type of styles in a way, medieval anime-ish looks, that is.
Are you still confident in a GS remake happening?
A Mario golf trademark already exists. As for the Mario sports trademark, that is still a mystery...
Really ? Where?
On the website for the game.
Well, yeah.
I'd also be interested in knowing how you feel of a remake right now, I know it is still soon and I don't know if you feel comfortable talking about it or if your sources have mentioned anything after the Golf announcement.
That's a copyright, not a trademark. A copyright is denoted by the C inside a circle, while a trademark would be a TM in small font. This copyright is for the code of the game, which is protected by the copyright.
Cool, any sauce bro ?
This gives a good idea of 3D puzzles for Golden Sun
Uuh, didn't you already post that?
Letter Campaigns to both Nintendo and Camelot would be great.I'd be up for an email campaign to Camelot timed for the upcoming Golden Sun anniversary. It's so odd to me that the Takahashi Brothers left a message to the fans about the status of the series going forward and years later we don't have a follow up. Whether they feel there's still not enough demand for it, whether Nintendo is stricter in what they can make, whether they no longer think they can make Golden Sun a worthy project up to fan's standards. Just any kind of acknowledgement to know that they've heard us even if it's to say, 'Unfortunately...'
We talk about Nintendo. But during the letter campaign, if I'm not mistaken I think it wasFlawedAI who was actually given the email to Camelot in their letter. It's like the Spiderman meme. Place Golden Sun on one pointing at Nintendo and Camelot, who are then pointing at each other.
My fear is despite doing those letter campaigns to Nintendo and all the social media exposure with Golden Sundays, that Camelot themselves still don't know we want Golden Sun. They could be in the belief that fans are severely disappointed and done after Dark Dawn and moved on to other series. And I'm not certain if Nintendo would make Camelot aware that fans have been reaching out and sending letters in hopes of the series return.
On top of that Camelot has no Twitter, which takes out that ease of reaching them like other game devs. I think one Takahashi Brother may be on there but don't know if he's active. This is why I think it's important to do the email campaign to Camelot as it'll take away the doubt of whether they truly heard us or not. And fan demand was the last thing put forward by them before the radio silence we've come to know.
Oops I didn't realise I posted it already haha
As much as I’d love to believe this, isn’t Grezzo doing Miitopia on Switch at the moment? Grezzo seems like the team to ask for help when making a remake so I’d say it makes sense if not for the fact they’re making something else.
Don't be apologized man, it's neither your fault nor your source's fault too. Things happened in a different way we thought and hoped.
The reason this game sold pretty poorly is a mix of people preferring to play this on console, not handheld (part of the reason why Mario Golf sold poorly on 3DS too), and that it released after the Switch came out. Also, one of the included sports probably wasn't popular overall (Horseback Riding).
For the record, I completely believe you but I suppose it's a timing situation right now. Pokemon and Zelda have their anniversaries this year and the last Smash fighter is likely to be unveiled by the end of this year, too. We also don't know when the Nintendo Switch Advanced is going to be unveiled.
As much as I want to agree with you, I'm not so sure about that. Mario Strikers, Mario Baseball, and Mario Basketball have been dormant now for quite some time, but if Golf turns out to be a success on Switch, I could see Nintendo have Camelot revive one of the above. It seems now more than ever, that the strategy of putting Mario's name on any game works really well.
None of which have ever been developped by Camelot.
We could take it in many different ways honestly. While I do think Mario and Sonic on the Olympics covers many of the sports dormant, Camelot could properly revive them into their own thing. Sure.
I don't think so. Mario Strikers has always been done by NLG, Mario Baseball (and basic Soccer) by Bamco, etc. Nintendo would likely want to go back to the original devs for those sports. The main reason that Camelot seems to work on Golf and Tennis is because it seems that they are legitimately fans of those sports and want to make those kinds of games.
Does anyone know how many employees Camelot had in the 2000-2004 era? It seemed they were at their peak back then (in terms of games produced and quality of games), and they shrunk over time.
It's not just the file size, but you just gotta look at the trailer and it's already done, it's polished, which is how games always are when Camelot is ready to show them, they don't release much later than 6 months from announcement (only once or twice they had a delay in one of their games due to unfortunate and variated reasons). This game never took 3 years to be made lol. Nintendo clearly held back a lot of announcements that could have been shown in 2020, specially in late 2020, that's why we got this packed Nintendo direct. They most likely wanted to prepare something within 2021 to give better impressions to investors and costumers within the actual year, who knows.
Exactly, like I said, they have been perfectly fine working in their area of expertise which is Tennis and Golf, they are not getting out of it, and the chances of it are the most unlikely thing to expect from Camelot. It's more likely to just expect stuff they like and have made in the past, lol. There's no reason to expect anything else from them, there hasn't been for 2 decades now. People don't understand the risk that it means to them to work on stuff they aren't experienced with, it requires budget and it can be devastating to such a small company as their own if it isn't a success. It's just not a smart idea to invest on something you don't have guarantee to succeed. Meanwhile GS1 and 2 sold great in a time where things were more limited, like region-wise and such… today it would sell so much more + there is a huge demand for it from an existing fanbase, not to mention new players getting into it that are fangs or JRPGs and never were able to try GS before.
Which was not my point. If Mario Golf does well too, Nintendo could make them tackle some of the other sports series. I would not rule out that possibility.
Like say, invest on something like Golden Sun 11 years after its last release? As I said, the Mario brand has proven that it makes everything sell well. How much expertise does today's Camelot have with HD JRPGs? Could they reuse ideas, assets or models from Tennis & Golf for another sports game?
I think if he does survive, he has pretty good chances. Though I am not going to lie, if this really is the "second chance" fighter pass, I hope Nintendo would turn around and look at the reactions for the November 2018 direct and throw an upgraded AT in the lineup.
I don't see Mario Strikers being made by anyone except Next Level Games, even more so now that Nintendo owns them. Pretty sure Namco has had a hand in anything Baseball-related. Can't speak on the basketball game as I never paid much attention to it.
Square Enix did the basketball game I think
The first 2 games don't exactly have any points of no return.
If I wrote well the credits some years ago, 37 employees from Camelot had worked in The Lost Age. In Dark Dawn there were 53 employees. And in Mario Tennis Aces was developed by 47 employees.
