Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Wario Bros.]

Now that we know that Smash Ultimate is completely done besides that last batch of spirits, I can focus more on PMEX Remix.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Have you actually played a Fire Emblem game?

She's a Smash fan, what do you think?

Welp, that's Maria Robotnik confirmed for Sonic 3.

Also, the OpenLara creator worked on the new Tomb Raider remasters/remakes:

Hate to break it to you but that image is editted, though Alyla Browne teased she was indeed playing Maria, she's in on the jokes though so that's good

I mean I think I know the answer but I want to hear it from her in case I'm wrong

Yeah, I've seen some of her stuff regarding the role of Maria Robotnik. I like It when actors in general tend to be in with the community (Luke from Street Fighter's or Persona 3 Reloaded protagonist's voice actor for example, love him).

A shame the image is edited doh, but hopefully we see stuff during the summer.

Actually I was mistaken, she did indeed ****in send those pics in a body bag what the **** lmao

LOL, that's actually hilarious.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I want to know how Stellar Form Terapagos will be handled in the Trading Card Game.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Originally Byleth and Greninja were on there too but I was talked out of it.

…Zamus, Piranha Plant, Awakening trio, Roy, Etika’s barefoot waifu…crazy

Sadly, the 3rd party characters are almost always the one with the pendulum over their head, because legal contracts and whatnot. Whereas Fire Emblem is as easy as Sakurai going to Intelligent Systems and going "Yo."

except for Sonic. Mario always gonna casually bring him in no matter what

 

[TheMightyP]

When it comes to 3rd parties in Smash, I see Sonic, Pac-Man, and Mega Man returning for sure. Sonic is pretty much a mainstay at this point and Pac-Man stays as long as Namco is there. Mega Man... I think Capcom is buddy buddy with Nintendo so it should be fine.

To that extent, I can imagine Ryu and Ken staying as well, or Ken goes and we get Chun instead. Kazuya I can see retuening in some capacity, Bayo is basically a Nintendo character at this point so I can't see her getting the boot. Idk on Joker, they may want to promote the newest Persona game instead.

Squeenix I think will come back as DLC, though FF is weird cause the music is in copyright hell, so I can see Sephy gone. Hero pribably is DLC (possibly base game), Sora probably returns as DLC as well.

No idea on Konami characters.

Nintendo just did an incredibly random restock of amiibo on their site for some ungodly reason, Of course it is at a time where I have very little spending money so I was only able to get the way too expensive in the after market Pikmin amiibo

Genuinely one of my favorite amiibo because this and Olimar are like the only 1:1 scale amiibo

with most people in the modern era getting into Persona thanks to Joker, I don’t see why he wouldn’t make a return. At the worst he’d be joined by a new Persona user just to double up the content…music wise especially cause they need gallons

 

[Noipoi]

Aw ****, here we go again.

All this for a partner showcase people are just gonna whine about

 

[TMNTSSB4]

we’re finally getting Ultra Instinct Goku vs Gohan Beast

 

[Wario Bros.]

Whatever is going on with a Nintendo presentation, I'm not going to stress it until one actually happens.

I am in no rush.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

…they really made Persona 3’s ending hit even harder through Reload

man this is the perfect Persona 3 experience

 

[Dukefire]

Here we go again. Remember to not set expectations.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I've thought about it. But they never go on sale.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I'm still alive

I'm wondering what the next Nintendo console will be named. I kinda like Scott the Woz's idea of it being the Nintendo Switch 2.0

 

[Deleted member]

Currently at the House of one of my mother's friends and I finally got to see Brisa and Bruma again.

Look how much the two have grown up!

We are gonna take both of them for a walk!

I try to ignore the existence of Scott the Woz. He gives me bad vibes.

Best now to abandon any hopes for an enhanced version of Ultimate and just move on to speculation for a brand new installment.

To be fair this could be a smash Wii U to ultimate case.

“Here’s the exact same game used as a base but we are going to slap a new name and some new things on it.”

Would not be hard for Bamco to make a new game fast and with ultimate’s base. Especially if switch 2 is that backwards compatible.

They reused Smash 4's models because the Switch wasn't powerful enough to warrant scrapping them. And they didn't look weird like Melee's.

 

[TheMightyP]

My guess for Switch 2?

Fire Emblem 4 remake is real, and it's a launch title.

MARIO RPG 2 BABY!!! lETS GO!!!!!!

Exactly, it was easier, no reason not to do it again and save on budget and time.

 

[Noipoi]

You can’t say that when a new 3D Mario and probably a Mario Kart are coming as well. Not to mention any third party support, and the obligatory gimmicky launch title that makes use of the new console’s wacky featuretm

One little Fire Emblem remake won’t hurt anything.

 

[Deleted member]

Check out this awesome landscape I Saw while taking Brisa and Bruma for a walk!

Also lol, the two got really strong ever since I last saw them. They are basically carrying me instead of me carrying them XD

 

[Guynamednelson]

Exactly, it was easier,

Yeah. WAS easier. But now we're very likely getting a system that's strong enough to handle higher-poly models than the Wii U, and Nintendo's gonna wanna show it off.

 

[Deleted member]

Holy ****, Brisa and Bruma saw some Friends during the walk!

 

[Aurane]

Fire Emblem discussion? Here? In the general social?

Sickening.

 

[TheMightyP]

No it won't, late millenials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha eat that **** up

This is the same company who treats Gamefreak like this:

(their models are like 3 gens behind)
Sakurai might care but I’m not convinced Nintendo does

Game Freak=/=anyone else who makes games for Nintendo. It should've been obvious when no one makes jokes about Xenoblade having N64 trees.

I heard the exclusive game is going to be Russian Miilette. Using the IR and Motion Controls, your mii avatars can play Russian roulette! The last one standing will get that sweet victory royale!

 

[TheMightyP]

So after some thinking here what I'll think will be the launch lineup for Switch 2:

• Mario Kart 8 Ultimate (big system seller, has all the content from MK8, 8D, and 8D's DLC).
• Fire Emblem 4 remake (it's been rumored for years now and FE is a priority franchise)
• 3D Zelda remake/remaster. My guess? BoTW remastered edition to show off the graphical enhancements from the Switch. If they were based though, they'd rerelease the remakes of the first 4 3D Zelda games and enhance them significantly.
• Pokemon. Probably just a port to showcase graphical enhancements.

And a 3D Mario comes sometime down the line, and then mainline Pokemon, then the usual Nintendo cycle repeats...

Ok fair. I just get… I don’t know. I think Smash speculation has permanently ruined my perception of the series.

But like it’s a turn based tactics game. That’s never been a popular genre, especially in America. So it baffles me why the games apparently do well over here “just because they’re good” when other “good” titles and series are left to languish in obscurity and few releases. It can’t be the only criteria. So things like genre and style have to matter. But fire emblem breaks those rules by being apparently massively successful despite its genre and none of it makes any sense to me. Like… X-Com and Disgaea are not as big as your trying to tell me fire emblem is so where’s the disconnect?

I mean Fire Emblem is in Smash and has a lot of exposure from their company and their fans, so in turn it's gonna be the most popular of that type.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

I hope the next Zelda game goes in a radically different aesthetic direction compared to the last two games. I love those games but I'm also kinda sick of looking at them
