Big Nintendo News Incoming
Posted by Chris Buxton
But what could it be?
Sometimes it seems that looking forward to upcoming games is more exciting than playing what’s on the shelf. The anticipation of a new instalment in a favourite franchise is enough to drive many to stalker like tendencies as the internet is scoured for any nugget of new information. Nintendo knows how crazy we can all get, and on February 24th plans to show the world something big in its Q1 Media Summit.
Perhaps Sonic could be confirmed as a playable character in Super Mario Galaxy 2? Could the new Zelda really be shown as a first person adventure game? Will Nintendo finally explain what the heck Metroid: Other M is all about? Or maybe, just maybe, we’ll all be blown out of the water with an announcement of something completely unexpected.
We all have our dreams, and with nothing more to go on than “something very special lined up”, we are all invited to speculate what it could be... what do you hope for?

I just know it'll be something huge. Maybe they'll even do something nice like they did last year with the Virtual Console Arcade launch!

If its the Super Mario Galaxy 2 it comes out in Dec. they should announce it then, they are working on a new Mario DS game hope they announce that!

The virtual console arcade announcement was a year ago? I was so excited about that and all I've got out of it is Golden Axe. Where's Final Fight, Street Fighter 2 and TMNT eh? eh? It's been a year!

theguitarhero said:
I know this sounds overly fanboy-ish, but if the next Zelda game really is a first person adventure I'll never play another Nintendo game again. There is absolutely no reason why it should be an FPS of any kind.

Lower your expectations people.

NFreak007 said:
Whatever it is, the internet is bound to hate it, just like it hates anything that any company announces no matter how good it is. Unless it's something REALLY bad I'll probably be pleased. Shame I'll probably be the only one...
#19
Snipes said:
@brandonbwll Yea I kinda agree.... Lately Nintendo has failed to impress me with their new outcomes. It gets over-hyped and then makes me regret buying it because of its actual quality.

I'm hoping for something good.
@Brandonbwii
Just because your expectations are always low, doesn't mean ours have to be.

@Chrono Cross
You missed his point. He means he isn't a crybaby like most of you.
I remember everyone bashing Nintendo when they announced MoptionPlus and now everyones cries because there aren't enough MotionPlus compatible games....
#27
Chrono_Cross said:
@Irken004
Release dates for Galaxy 2, Metroid, and even Zelda would be very nice, lol.
@27
None of us are crying. This is freedom of speech and anyone who has joined this site can say what they want to. If you have a problem when people say what they want to hear, then you should really get over yourself.

JebbyDeringer said:
Well I'd rather a 1st person Zelda over another Twilight Princess. Last thing we need is another Zelda following the same formula. I don't care where the camera is as long as the game is really good.
I predict a sequel to Gyromite or Battle Clash.

You all do realize that it's probably is Wii Music 2?!

Reala said:
Freedom of speech does not mean you can say what ever you want to here, people get edited and even banned for saying things which go against the rules here, like any other site or business you cannot just say as you please, freedom of speech doesn't cover such things.
Back on topic I expect we will hear more from whats confirmed, more teasers with not a lot of new content I'm guessing, most likely have to wait for E3 for that.
#36
tweaker said:
@Swiket
Agreed. It seems like every day, people swear they're going to stop watching a certain TV network because they canceled a favorite show, or boycott a movie company due to a decision on their part, or stop doing business with a console manufacturer because they mishandled a favorite series.
What is the point of that? And no one ever follows through on threats like that. Review sites exist for a reason. Watch or buy the things that are good, and forget the rest. Encourage good production values by buying well-made products, even from people who did poor jobs in that past. Butthurt accomplishes nothing.
@NintenFreak
Mine too.

Please, oh please, oh please!!!!
Or, F-Zero. I will be happy with either of those, or both, or anything! lol

Hopefully a DS successor as the DS been around for 5 years & the DSi can only fool so manu customers .
#42
warioswoods said:
@34, @41
I may be the only one here, but an announcement of Wii Music 2 (or Wii Music Plus) would be a dream come true. That being said, it's not very likely, which is bad for me but great for the rest of you.

New Kid Icarus game. Called it.

Starwolf_UK said:
Monster Hunter 3, DSi XL, a surprise (may be big or small), possibly another system menu (4.2 did come out a while ago).
Nintendo of Europe is also doing one pretty shortly after. For some reason Nintendo of Europe likes giving more of a spotlight to WiiWare and DSiWare (pretty ironic considering European releases on both these services) so I expect that for Europe.

Gavin_Rozee said:
@Corbie I sure hope so! I'm not sure whether GB games on a DSi XL would be good or bad though.
#52
Jave said:
@Corbie @Gavin Rozee
Man, GB/GBC/GBA games on the DSi is something I've been waiting for so long. I don't want to get too hyped, though.
As for DSi XL, I suppose they could use Super Game Boy styled graphics with borders.
#53
warioswoods said:
@Gavin
Since the dpi is lower on the XL, it's actually closer to the original low-dpi Game Boy experience.
@42
Yeah, I wish they'd quit tricking me into downloading highly original and entertaining games for a fraction of retail price.
#54
V8_Ninja said:
I'd bet the successor to the DS, since I don't think a Pikmin 3 reveal or Metroid: Other M gameplay revealing would be described as "very special".

astarisborn94 said:
I have an moderately high expectation for the Media Summit. I'm expecting more information on games we already know about (And finally some on Pikimin 3 and Golden Sun DS). We could also see a couple of new games announced there, according to the Media Summit of October, 2008.
@edhe: While I do think it's likely that we might see it on the VC, I don't think it's big enough to be reconfirmed to the public just yet. And beside, unconfirmed legal issues. However, I wouldn't rule this out yet since the Media Summit isn't as important as E3, but still, the chances of that happening is very slim.
@mastergraveheart: This isn't E3 2010, so I think you're expecting much beyond what Nintendo would ever offer outside of E3. The only games that have a slight possibility is an Earthbound on VC release, Kirby Wii annoucement, Startropic return, and a Star Fox Wii confirmation. Even then, these are really a strech.

Make it happen!

I hope it's a big update for the DSi like a DSi message board or Virtual handheld.

I know what's in the box, cookies.


Just kidding! Anyway, I am very curious about this secret!
Whatever it is, I hope it's not Sonic in SMG 2 or Zelda in first person.
#61
Snoopy said:
Wii HD.? Pikmin 3? Mario Kart wii 2? Luigi Game? More Wifi Games?
#62
Yosher said:
If it's a portable VC, I sure hope they don't make you pay for titles AGAIN if you already got them on the Wii. Like, I already downloaded Super Mario Bros. on the Wii; I want to get it for free on the DS if it becomes available.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; I'm hoping they'll announce a new Yoshi game, a true sequel to SNES Yoshi's Island that can compare to its quality! The DS version was ok, but a bit of a disappointment in that aspect. A new game starring Yoshi alone would be more than welcome too, as long as it's not overly cute again like Yoshi's Story was.
Other than that.. well, I'll just let myself be surprised and see what they'll announce. For now, I won't expect anything. I've put my hype up too much already only to have it blown down by disappointment. So, we'll see!

Another new game in their franchises? or more games for a lot of their franchises? Like maybe, Fire Emblem, Star Fox, F-Zero, Pikmin, and KIRBY? or maybe they'll show The Last Story early, or show more of the generation 5 pokemon?

I have been informed by an historically reliable inside source that all first-party development teams have cancelled their current projects to combine into one super team which is working on Devil's World 2, DSiWare, ETA: Q2 2011.
However, I'm hoping this is not true and that Odnetnin's guess is in fact correct.

Luigi's Mansion wii and more info on the Wii vitality sensor?

I'd like Starfox and/or F-Zero for Wii, and maybe even Balloon Kid DS (though that wouldn't qualify as huge).
A safer bet though is Wiilax (Vitality sensor & Mii's).

I'm for the return of Star Fox on Wii, and some updates on Kirby Wii, Other M, Zelda Wii, and a possibility of a DSi VC/VH.

All future Nintendo games exclusively 2D gameplay and 4-player cooperative!

SilverBaretta said:
I want:
Link's Party Crossbow Training (with a full adventure, different weapons, and mutiplayer, co-op and competitive.)
Pikmin 3
Kirby Wii (This has been on death row for a while, though)
Also, why would a first-person Zelda be bad? It would be an FPA (First-Person-Adventure), not an FPS. And the camera would zoom out during certain times. Think 007 Quantum of Solace style gameplay but an adventure game instead of an FPS. Innovation, right? Isn't genre creation innovation?

jhuhn said:
Maybe we'll see Virtual Console games on the DSi Shop channel and able to play games from the SD card on the DSi if there's at least 130 blocks of space on the DSi console. There's also a possibility we'll see Nintendo arcade games on Virtual Console arcade, including Donkey Kong. The other option could be the agreement with NETFLIX.

I hope they announce some more WM+ games.

Hoping for Virtual Handheld, but not really expecting much of anything. Pessimism avoids disappointment!

Arkia said:
@84: You know, it's kinda funny. I remember hearing about how people said first-person was going to ruin Metroid back before Prime was released. We all know how that ended.
I still can't see them making a first-person Zelda though, but it would be very interesting.

If they make Zelda a first-person game, I'm off the Nintendo bandwagon for good.

I'm with those who want a DSi virtual console. My guess is the next hand held however.
#103
JackMack said:
A new Donkey Kong game for Wii (Country style of course) would be the best news I could imagine (multiplayer would rock!). An FPA Zelda would be an interesting change of pace, though I'm imagining the new Zelda to be like Majora's Mask in terms of innovation. The new Kirby and Starfox games would be nice but I think that they should focus on the games they've already announced. Oh, and hi, I'm new.

I think the new Zelda should be playable in both perspectives! 3rd person (as we know and love it) and FPA (for those who like innovation and a new look on the long-running series. As already mentioned, it worked with Metroid.)

pinta_vodki said:
erm... Conker's Bad Fur Day on VC?
but I guess it'll be that new motion plus title Miyamoto is working on besides Zelda.

GoldenBanana said:
Totally agree with Objection_Blaster
.
I think Zelda can´t be entirely in first person view, it wouldn´t be very much "Miyamoto" to not see Link´s whole body often. Everything about Link´s looks it´s too emblematical for just seeing his arms all the time.
Link is like Mario and Samus, it isn´t himself without his signature clothes and hat, it wouldn´t feel the same, some "link with Link" would be missed =p.
It has to be something similar to what Nintendo did with Metroid Prime but with more emphasis in third view rather than first, maybe switch to first view for "z targeting".
Remember Samus has a signature helmet, and arm, it felt right to see through her eyes and watch her Power Beam often, but Link is "more him" from a third view.
Hope you get my point, I tried hard to explain myself good in english =) , spanish it´s my language. (from Uruguay, South America). I come here since the begining of this site, it´s my trusty site =) , I think most of us are sincere and "true from the heart" Nintendo gamers, that´s what I love from "nl".
Finally posted something, uuffffffffff feel relieved =p
( hope the surprise it´s a new F-Zero !!! I need a deep, challenging, cool, high-speed racing game for my Wii.............. Mario Kart´s not enough for that
.... and Yoshi´s Island !!!!!! ... pray it´s not something for "family and everyone play Wii Sports sort of thing".......... it´s very probable, "too" many "hardcore" things announced lately....sniff )

brokenpavement said:
@114:
I'm still waiting for a new Animal Crossing. The Wii version was just the DS version rehashed on a home console... After putting hundreds of hours into the DS title, the Wii one was an enormous disappointment to me.
In my dream world, Nintendo announces an online system similar to Steam where I can access my Wiiware titles on a friend's console as long as they are logged into my account. That way I can show people that there are a lot of great titles that you can't find in retail stores (and so I can laugh at Muscle March wherever I go).
#121
PHANTOM93 said:
I personally believe that it will be the reveal of the new handheld.
Less likely/bizzare predictions:
ending of friendcodes
importing vc games (that you already own) onto dsi (in a manner similar to how we get demos from the nintendo channel, just that it would be done on the wii shop channel probably)
Wiiware/vc demo channel (because making them their own apps clogged the top 20 chart)
online enabled pictochat
flash support for dsi browser (least likely in my opinion)

@Acidfoxdyi831-
love the enthusiasm, but Star Fox Assault is an ABOMINATION. horrible dialog ( I admit star fox 64 had some too ), crappy mechanics ( single burst shots instead of the SNES/64 standard triple-burst lasers and not to mention the arwing felt like I was contolling a paper airplane ) and ground missions!!!! Garbage!!
What we need is a prequel/reboot of the series! One that tells James/Fox's stories!
A game where "story mode" first player is fox, this person signs on to Nintendo WFC right away at the opening screen, then they start to play story mode, at any time, up to 3 people can join during story mode, slippy, peppy, falco right? Ok. when everyone plays, they see their own screen, and generally not the other characters too much. Like, think of a square. This square represents fox's screen or example playing regular starfox 64.... Then when other people come on, one "square" turns into 2, or if there are 4 people, then 4 "squares" now form together to form a giant "field" of one giant square.
Here's the cool part. Scenario: one enemy base has a giant shild. To destroy the shield slippy or someone has to be in aquas to destroy a remote generator as well as falco who is in sector z perhaps to destroy the shield's satellite. HERE IS THE KICKER! for peppy and fox to destroy the shield, they have to activate a type of switch to let player 4 (slippy) who is underwater, to access the generator. In which falco (player 2) has only a minute to destroy the satellite in order to destroy enemy signal. In which fox and peppy HAVE to destroy the now unshielded weapon, or it destroys the great fox. And this is all happening in REAL time with 4-player online co-op.... Communicating with a headset....a SICK online with team leaderboards, perks, etc.
No, not Assault though.

I'd love to see Kid Icarus updated to Mario 64, Oot and Metroid Prime proportions. I think at best though, we'll get one of those remakes or reimagings before we get a true 3D Kid Icarus game.
I stick by my prediction of Wii Relax with Sensor. They have yet to officially announce a new game in their "Wii" brand and I highly doubt we'll go a full year without one...or two.

It's gonna be the next generation system, where the only control input is eye blinks and involuntary toe movements. And the pic at the top is what it looks like it plays N-discs which are the size of a DS card and hold 5TB
called it

I'm guessing it'll be galaxy 2/other M release dates along with more footage or a playable demo. It's not going to be anything as exciting as a new console/handheld, that'll wait for E3.
Other possibilities:
Seriously guys, this isn't that special.
@142: if it were a starfox game like that, i would literally die with excitement. That is totally where the Starfox franchise needs to go! Probably won't be possible until next-gen when hopefully Nintendo's consoles get full online experiences.

For vs multiplayer, they should definately draw from SF Assasult though, and refine it into Nintendos own Halo.
I'm kind of glad there hasn't been a Star Fox game yet actually, because if it comes now (Miyamoto still mentions the idea from time to time) it will have the experience of 3+ years Wii experimenting and development behind it, as well as the possibility of Wii Speak.

I said it before kind of jokingly, but I think it will be an announcement that one of the anticipated games (Zelda, Metroid, SMG2) will come out much earlier than expected.

@JimLad-
Yeah, I would agree. They would have to REALLY pull it off perfectly though..... But I can really see that idea working for sure. It's just so frustrating that the characters controlled horribly in Assault multiplayer, but hey, tighten it up, add some balanced ship/walking mechanics and you have yourself a winning online multiplayer......Heck let's just make one our own!

Sonic in Mario Galaxy 2 would blow my mind. It would definitely rock my world like Yoshi in Mario 64 or Luigi in Galaxy 1 (which I never DID get...damn game is too hard!).

I think if the wiimote would be used for aiming and turning (while A is pressed down)
while the nunchuck analogue for moving, that would likely solve their
on foot mission problem
btw samsN.ite thats a pretty cool avatar you have there, the drawing reminds me of gurren lagann

I'd be horrified if they announced a first person Zelda, I bought a Wii rather than an Xbox 360 or PS3 because I am sick of the amount of FPS after FPS games available for the other consoles, A FPAdventure Zelda would just be a bit like a Medieval Metroid Prime, which might appeal to some of you but I want Zelda not Metroid - I played MP3 for a few hours but couldn't get into it at all. Maybe it'll be a bit more over the shoulder view (but still in 3rd person) like Gears of War or maybe just up a bit closer, like Links Cross Bow Training.
Anyway, hopefully Zelda Wii won't be in first person view just like it's obviously not true that Sonic will be in Mario Galaxy 2, certainly not as a playable character anyway - that would be ridiculous.
I'm hoping the announcement will be Star Fox Wii like many of you out there, I'd like to see a new Ninty console on the way too but I can't imagine it's going to be a new handheld (they've only just updated the DS recently and I think they' will be concentrating on the DSi Store to compete with the iPhone more than anything) I'd love to see a proper succesor to the gamecube - Nintendo have got away with using the technology from the last generation of consoles for over 3 years with the Wii and made a buckload of cash by innovating with the wiimotes etc. so they could be in the position to release a new console soon which is much more powerful than it's rivals, with at least 2-3 years before Microsoft and Sony could respond (especially Sony - the PS3's cost so much to produce they'll have to sell them for years before they can afford to put out a new console), Ninty could then keep on selling Wii's to casual gamers and sell it's new powerful machine to the more hardcore gamers out there and clean up, Here's to hoping anyway but I expect the announcement will be something far lamer...
...Like Mario Paint Wii ha ha ha ha

I'm guessing Nintendo will finally announce that the DSi will get the virtual handheld that they rumored in March.

Pikmin 3, Starfox Wii, or new Donkey Kong game that is a throw back to DK64 would be great, although they won't announce anything that big probably until E3.

@shadowAOD-
Hey thanks, it's probably my favorite picture of Fox. They could have MULTIPLE control schemes that could work many ways, and I agree that a Wiimote and nunchuck would be great as well, I just hope they give us a lot of control options to choose from, when they release the new Star Fox Wii of course. And I think it would be a GREAT title to test the DLC waters with too....

I'm thinking they might still be looking for a different developer
for the series,I'm hoping konami or capcom make the next one

There may be a release date for Super Mario Galaxy 2, Zelda Wii, Metroid: Other M, or even for Last Story. I would like a VC for DSi, but it may not happen. I hope that they announce Earthbound 3, or something like that, or even Pikmin 3. But, I would absolutely love to death if they made Viewtiful Joe 3, or had a release date for Okami DS and Professor Layton 3. Hoping!
