@DarthNocturnal There's no point in being overly excited as you say yet people tell me off for being cautiously optimistic that it wont be the best thing ever? XD
I'm not worried. But I'm not excited. I need to see it. However everyone has an opinion on everything whether they know it or not. My opinion is "It could be good" but I'm not jumping on the hype train because of the people making it.

Marcus Sellers... ok. I wouldn't trust that guy if it meant saving my life. Every single thing he has said has been wrong, or on rare occasion, correct but piggybacking off someone else.
And I'm not really a skeptic when it comes to leakers. I fully understand the nature of the business- like espionage, they deal in a currency of rumor and hearsay. And even being right 25% of the time seems awfully credible to me.
But that guy? Any words he says goes in one ear and out the other. I'd sooner believe he piggybacks off of a rumor and tosses in whatever he thinks sounds legitimate to make it seem as if he has credible info
edit
But let me be perfectly clear (stated in consise, Obama-like voice): this is one instance in which I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong. Please, please let me be wrong. I need that Metroid Prime Trilogy

Personally I just think the Trilogy is coming because that's easy money and a good way to prepare people for the 4th game, especially given the last one release 11 years ago at this point.

Ya that's his MO. Steal other's info, not knowing whether it's true or not, and pass it off as his own.
But if that came from someone legit, I will start doing cartwheels in my bedroom (and likely break my neck, but you can bet I'll still be playing Metroid Prime in a body cast if it actually happens)

Speaking of devs who always make good games, y'all are still sleeping on indieszero. Sushi Striker's probably gonna be a really good game, based on their track record and what I heard from people who played it.
@Aozz101x Yeah... this story in Aces is already looking way more intense than any other featured in a Mario sports title. Beats Bowser simply causing trouble for the hell of it again, I suppose.

Just watched the Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon trailer on the Japanese Eshop. It really took me by surprise just how good it looks ,like the best retro Castlevania you never played.
The amount of really good/promising looking indie games coming before the end of May is unreal. Just to name a few
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher
The Banner Saga
Runner 3
Disco Dodgeball
Punch Club
Yoku's Island Express
Die for Valhalla
Milanoir
Yesterdays Origins
Smoke & Sacrifice
Curse of the Moon
and more .....
All that on top of Ikaruga, Street Fighter Collection,Megaman Collection, Tennis World Tour , Little Nightmares, Hyrule Warriors , Battle Chasers and Fallen Legion. No matter what way you look at it,that's an incredible line up of games for a single month and that's with a Dark Souls delay.
Then next month , Sushi Strikers, Mario Tennis ,Crash Trilogy, Wolfenstein and E3 as well as several more quality indies. This rate of releases will likely be the norm from now on too.
It's as good as it's ever been on any Nintendo console or handheld ever.
Regarding retro, I wouldn't be surprised if the original game have been cancelled. Retro haven't done anything in recent time to make me think they can pull of a grand game. Prime was over a decade ago, and both DKC games are really continuations of a known formula.
They might very well have tried to make a bigger project than they were capable of producing. And if starfox grand Prix is true, the backlash will be immense. It will not matter if it is a good game.
...Aaaaand there goes my money and free time. I won't be importing this time, just going to get it on the eshop since I play taiko games to death.Ka Don!
@OorWullie Agreed. I'm still recovering from last year and E3 is going to put me in financial ruin. Switch is a train with no breaks.
Taiko is good for the soul, Hoisa!

"Are they about to have Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, Yoshi, Pokemon, Star Fox Grand Prix, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD, and potentially even Ridge Racer 8 all release between August-December?"
Don't forget NSMBU DX as well.
If they want to sell 20 million systems and 100 million games in the Financial Year this year's line up has to be very strong, to a level beyond precedent.
Though personally I would expect one of them to drop into Feb/March 2019. Maybe Pokemon, or maybe Starfox GP isn't a 2018 game. As for Ridge and Mon Hun, they're third-party so will release whenever Capcom/Bamco want them to.
I'm honestly puzzled why people think Retro could make some kind of uber impressing "AAA title" anyway... Prime was hella bland to me, Echoes was good but nothing too impressive, Corruption was garbage and both Donkey Kong games were really good, but still nothing to write home about. People act like Retro have been putting out one massive thing after another just because they have this weird association of them being a "new Rare" or something (which I don't get either, but I also always disliked the N64 so it's not like I bothered playing even half of their games. Altho DKC never impressed me either)
You have a point about there not being sufficient proof that Retro should be making the type of grand and massive AAA game some people are expecting, but it's surrounded by living in some alternate universe where Retro hasn't made consistently beloved video games just because you didn't get it.
