I would say Mother 3, but with our luck, we're gonna get Mother 1+2 when we already have Mother 1 and 2

tfw M1+2's script being re-translated back from English means Nintendo probably has an English ROM of M1+2 somewhere

 

[TheMightyP]

just wait for the day Zelda becomes a minority…but only if it’s black

Black Zelda when Nintendo?

When this day happens (It won't)

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Glad Nintendo took the effort to make GB(A) game have multiplayer support unlike on Virtual Console.

I'm glad they finally gave us the Super Game Boy/Game Boy Color mode for them.

 

[Megadoomer]

I saw the first 30 minutes of the Direct between work shifts (I stopped after the Game Boy and GBA games were shown) and nothing really wowed me aside from Pikmin 4.

Unless they're bringing back single player missions from the original (and if they did, then it wasn't shown), the first wave of Splatoon 3 DLC seems like a rip-off unless you really like the Squid Sisters - as far as I can tell, you're paying for an alternate lobby that's functionally identical to the normal lobby. (Though seeing it reminded me that I still need to play that game; maybe after I finish Pokemon Violet)

The Magolor content for Return to Dream Land looks neat, but it's not enough to convince me to double dip since I still have the Wii version. (I double dip on games occasionally, but it's usually if a game that I already have is part of a collection)

I'm waiting on reviews for Octopath Traveler 2 - my biggest issue is that all of the character interactions were saved for the post game, making the main game feel like eight completely separate adventures that only came together at the final boss. I'm hoping that's addressed here.

Glad to see that Advance Wars has a release date, and that Golden Sun is back in some form. I've heard that there's a Metroid Prime 1 remaster (though I have the game on the Gamecube and in the Wii version of Metroid Prime Trilogy, so I don't think I need it a third time) and a Zelda trailer, so I haven't seen them, and I'm not sure what else is in the last 10 minutes.

(There's also the Xenoblade 3 DLC, but I still need to finish Xenoblade 2 and 3 - I haven't been able to find the time for 100+ hour RPGs, and I wasn't a fan of what I played of Xenoblade 2)

Also, I'm a little worried that they've already run out of N64 games to announce for the online service, given that they're jumping straight to Game Boy and GBA.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Pikmin 4 is absolutely beautiful. I wonder if the new characters are from Hocotate, Koppai or another planet entirely.

The dog is adorable, btw. The characters might be from Hocotate, considering that Olimar and his family mention having a dog named Bulbie a few times (heck, it's where the Bulborbs themselves got their names from).

 

[Shroob]

Look


All I'm saying is


The extra 10$ price tag on Tears of the Kingdom is all going towards modeling Ganondorf's c---olossally huge muscles.

 

[Mamboo07]

Tomodachi Life 2 be trending.

Damn, and here I was hoping they spent the money torwards the rumored Zelda's Assault DLC. It was suppossed to be bigger than the base game.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I didn’t realize they announced Frozen 3, Zootopia 2, and Toy Story 5 due to all this Nintendoness

It's offical. Toy Story is becoming the Ice Age of Pixar.

 

[TheMightyP]

The only way we can end Toy Story as a franchise is if we eliminate all 90s kids

 

[Z25]

DIXIE YEAHHH!

And Diddy too Woop!

Both deserve it, but if we get them, then it’s time for return of the king:

 

[Shroob]

You really want me dead, huh.

 

[TheMightyP]

You really want me dead, huh.

You and some other people yeah.

 

[Zinith]

I don't play Mario Kart Tour, so I'm asking how big do those tracks usually get? Yoshi's Island looks massive, so that's likely why it wasn't announced for that game like the other new course was

 

[Guynamednelson]

so that's likely why it wasn't announced for that game like the other new course was

At the same time, "Booster Course Pass" is supposed to refer to MKT having the codename "Booster" during development

 

[TheMightyP]

Oh yeah new pfp to respect the queen

 

[Shroob]

So when Kirby villains die, they go to the space between dimensions


I guess Magalor's the only one who could be assed enough to leave.

No no continue, i was listening

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Can I just say it bugs me how all the other retro courses say the name of the console they debuted on but Tour courses are labled as from "Tour". Just say "Mobile".

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

[Shroob]

But yeah, every Kirby game lately seems intent on expanding the lore and mythos of the series.


Oh boy I can't wait to see hell

 

[Noipoi]

What, do you want them to say iPhone/iPad/Android, etc?

Edit: Nevermind, I am Boo-Boo the Fool.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I said in the original post. Label it as "Mobile".

 

[Noipoi]

I read that wrong.

Excuse my foolishness, I formally retract my snark.

 

[Shroob]

I'm actually surprised Tears comes out in May.


Was kinda thinking that'd be Nintendo's BIG holiday title.

Well there there has been a trend with big Zelda releases on home consoles since the N64.

And well... it's looking pretty likely that this may be the last major release

 

[Noipoi]

They don't really have a holiday game this year, huh?

Based on all those rumors, I was thinking a new 2D Mario could fill that role. Yeah, it wouldn't be as exciting as Odyssey 2 or something, but with enough creativity (and good marketing) it'd still do numbers. Especially if they managed to ride the Mario Movie hype.

But uhhh that wasn't announced so

 

[Pink Yoshi]

On the subject of Disney...

forget live action remakes of animated movies

we need to start making animated remakes of live action movies

starting with this one: pic.twitter.com/bvgrP9RmrX

— ✨CHELLE D☯GGO✨ (ART ONLY; SEE PINNED) (@ChelleDoggo) February 1, 2023

I agree with the concept, animated remakes of live-action movies would be cool, but uhhh this one? Not only is it already a remake itself, but also this movie is goddamn cheeks and making it animated won't fix that

Now a The Journey of Natty Gann remake on the other hand

Oh yeah! I loved Homeward Bound 1 and 2! I would kill the next guy I come across to have that happen! Well, not kill, but yeah, I would like to see Homeward Bound remade!

 

[TheMightyP]

So I guess some insight on the new pricing plan for Nintendo games.

Zelda is 70, Pikmin is 60, and the Prime Remaster is 40.

 

[Noipoi]

The extra ten dollars is because of the development time it took to render Gandondorf's calamity

 

[PeridotGX]

This game must be a freaking disaster behind the scenes right now:

We heard you, MVPs! To help you reach the end of the current Battle Pass, players get Battle Pass XP Boost items PLUS Season 2 is extended to March 31. ⭐️ Peep new items in your inventory and a new tier purchasing functionality for faster progress. #MultiVersus

— MultiVersus (@multiversus) February 8, 2023

No characters besides Marvin made it to season 2, despite them saying there would be more, no other big content since, still lacking some of the changes people want. Season 3 must also be behind pretty bad on content, especially if they couldn’t even finish characters for season 2.

Really a shame to see how badly they fumbled this bag.

My hope is that they realized that Season 2 wasn't going that well, and instead of trying to put a bandaid on it they decided save it all for Season 3, as a soft re-launch, to rejuvenate the game. A few new characters, a few new stages, ranked, better netcode - all of that.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

There will be a loophole and Pauline will be a returning character from Mario Kart Tour.

I'll see what happens with characters.

Here's how Pacman can still win.

My initial dislike of the game makes me want it to die. But then we're never gonna get another WB crossover fighter.

 

[TheMightyP]

So I think it's time to address the dead and dusty elephant in the grave.

Why is Prime remastered $40 but Mario Roms and Skyward Sword HD full price?

Like did Nintendo understand how pricing works... or did Retro say something... or did they realize they can't scam Metroid fans

Metroid's not mainstream enough for them to get away with it.
