Definitely too early for the sequel to come out, but it would be great if they could at least share more news about that on this occasion - regardless, looking forward to the event and happy 20th anniversary Ōkami (should play it myself when I can, but I've watched others playing it and absolutely loved it)!
And as expected we're back to regular, big updates this week - so glad they've finally added all these tracks to the Splatoon 3 soundtrack on Nintendo Music (and even more so since it's like an early gift for @Dev-N and speaking of, Happy Birthday)!
Expecting this to be merch a Japan only concert and maybe some Monster Hunter skins but I'd be happy just to get an in depth interview about their plans for the sequel.
Really nice if confirmed (more likely than not also considering that it has been on his IMDB page for a while, thanks @Anchel for telling us that) - looking forward to seeing and hearing more about the Zelda movie whenever they're ready to share, absolutely including its soundtrack!
This info has been on his IMDB page since at the very least December of last year I posted about it on Twitter back then, when we released the official score for his work on Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - From the Ashes expansion. https://x.com/Anchel/status/2001925896874397947?s=20
@Max_the_German I'll go even further and say that the combat was absolutely boring, even more than the endless useless dialogues. But still a good game, for the time. Way too linear though, most sidequests could not be skipped as they were integrated into the main quest.
I played it again on Switch, and the controls were still clunky, especially the celestial drawing, which was quite the disappointment.
But, it cannot be denied that it left its mark. And I admit I am curious at what they will accomplish with the sequel.
And ... @Ichiban I wouldn't say no to a glorious Amaterasu Amiibo 😍
Just hope that Capcom handles this anniversary better than Platinum did with Bayonetta ... we did get a beautiful jacket but no Amiibos, no books, no ports/remakes/remasters, no new games ...
I couldn't have asked for a better Nintendo Music update for my birth week. It's like an early gift!
Top Five 1. Three Wishes- This is Splatoon's equivalent of Rainbow Road. 2. Daybreaker Anthem- A beautiful song that sounds like it belongs in the credits, but it's a great way to end Splatfest and it makes waiting for results even more anxious. I'll always remember it for when it first played before Shiver became Deep Cut's leader! 3. Smeared Canvas- Probably my second favorite Deep Cut song, it's a great build-up to the story mode climax. Who knew a song about bowling could hit so hard? 4. Echo Onslaught- Coming up with my favorite Side Order song was tough, but I'll choose this one. It fits the vibe of fighting creepy clones, but that electro beat is very catchy. 5. Tableturf Card List- A random personal choice, but I just like this chill theme that's perfect for scrolling through the cards with all the cool cartoon art. Good for my Study playlist.
Sidenote: New World Order is TERRIFYING. Perfect for when a main antagonist shows their final form in a world-ending sequence...
Waiting to see if there are games that got compatibility fixes, an NSO update soon after etc. as usual - in the meantime I'm appreciating the stability jokes here!
"This only works on dry grass and grass tiles." - that's actually not true! You can grow grass on regular dirt tiles, they don't have to be grass tiles.
I can't wait until we have consoles doing everything over a newer version of USB C with ports on our TVs and monitors that can support 120hz+/ 4k-8k so we can get rid of the HDMI cable and other cables. This looks great for the moment. Can use it for work too.
Still the only adventure game to have successfully out-Zelda'ed Zelda in my estimation, one day I'll find the time to sit down and replay you again you beautiful artistic treasure of a game. Perhaps that would be a fitting way to celebrate this anniversary.
@flighty ... You can get so many games on sale for under $5 USD/€5 etc. and even 1 also on the eShop, among the abovementioned games currently discounted here in Italy and most likely Europe in general there are 3150 that are €5 and under (1550 if you stick to the "Hottest Deals - Great deals on popular games" section of Deku Deals, but that's nothing to sneeze at either), here are some examples starting with a couple of games that came out on Switch just a year ago:
Omega 6 The Triangle Stars €1,99 instead of €24,99;
Laika: Aged Through Blood €4,99 instead of €19,99;
Enter the Gungeon €2,99 instead of €14,99;
Spiritfarer €3,74 instead of €24,99;
CARRION €3,99 instead of €19,99;
Darkest Dungeon €3,29 instead of €21,99 and so on...
@Pillowpants Still waiting on the Star Fox: Assault OST myself. I especially want to hear the track that plays when Peppy seemingly sacrifices himself near the end of the game. I know some people on YouTube have attempted to take out the voice clips and sound effects and upload that track to their channel, but the results were not perfect. So Nintendo releasing the full, unadulterated track on Nintendo Music would be a dream come true for me.
@Danny_ Like I said in my previous post, I was absolutely baffled why they didn't release the Switch 1 port of Yo-kai Watch 1 in the West, since it was already localized on the 3DS.
Themes nintendo, themes. Or atleast solid colors..... please. Anything to give the switch atleast a little bit of personality and customization. Just a bit (the bare minimum). (Also insert obligatory stability joke of your choice here).
"Nintendo has now released a much small firmware update for both hybrid platforms." So why do you always only mention Switch 2 in the title every single time?
Capcom is cooking! They're one of my favourite studios of all time. And between all the releases this year so far and what's coming, I am really looking forward to the Okami celebration!

There’s been an unnerving number of meaningful updates as of late. It’s reassuring to get back to pure, sweet stability.
