I'm a bit surprised

Doesn't Nintendo usually have one game per fighting game per console?

Advance Wars isn't exactly well known. I know that you're gonna tell me that you don't care about that franchise because you always say that, but I was just pointing that out.

Ok 1. Boxing is huge in North America and a few other places and 2. I don't think that the boxing theme of the game was the problem, it was the lack of content in Arms.

Edit: Also just to add, Arms sold very well for a new IP. Nintendo will likely make a new Arms game, but it's either taking time for new modes, or it's just being held onto unril the Switch's successor.

Ok I'm surprised that you like this type of boxing game, but I'm happy for you, and it looks decent.

I thought that this was obvious.

I remember it, it looks really good, I need another relaxing game after I got bored of Animal Crossing after a hundred hours.

Nintendo should create original game and watches again with 5D holographic technology.

@HotGoomba Arms is a well known IP, and I'm shocked he doesn't know that. ARMS sold pretty well for a new IP..

@ninelevendo They should make crystal screen Game and Watches again.

@VoidofLight Exactly. Arms did very well. They're not making Arms 2 not because it's niche (because it isn't niche) but because they usually wait till the next console to make a new fighting game.

@HotGoomba
If Nintendo make ARMS 2, I think there are a lot of things should be added.
1. Create your ARMS fighters from head to toe, voice tones like The Sims, specific gestures (walking style, victory pose, lost pose, etc), custom Super Moves, multiple save slots for saving custom ARMS fighters (should be at least 10 slots)
2. More characters for ARMS with more color variants and alternative looking.
3. Create your fighting arena from scratch, customize with some fancy items.
4. Boxing Mode, Normal boxing fight without extended arms so every ARMS characters included the custom characters will be converted into normal human style.
5. Boxing Cardio Workout mode. Similar as Fitness Boxing, you can choose your ARMS character to appear in screen like Fitness Boxing, choose the song from a lot of music selection.
6. Mini Games mode with more selection of activities.

@Slowdive I think TPC is waiting for the new Switch revision to be announced and that's why Pokemon has been completely absent along with just the release dates revealed back in late May. They're showing off Unite today so if they follow last year of mainline Pokemon and Unite news being a week apart, we could get revision announced very soon.

@Grumblevolcano Orrr they’re just playing it safe this year, since Masuda got harassed off the internet in 2019 due to the national dec controversy. They wouldn’t wait for a seitch revision to show more of BDSP, given it’s not that taxing on a normal switch.

A couple days ago, I was super bored so I decided to find renders for every single thing announced at nintendo's e3 and put them all into a collagey thingy (Idk what to really call it). It took a while to find all the renders but I did it in the end. Hope you like it!
For Cruis'n blast, I couldn't find a render so just took a car and put some fire in the exhaust lol
also if you're wondering where skyward sword is, skyloft is the background. it's very hard to see with all the renders haha

@Jackpaza0508 That’s amazing, nice work!

@Jackpaza0508 Yeah looks great! Nice job.

@Jackpaza0508 Oh that's brill!

@Jackpaza0508 looks real nice

@skywake You're absolutely right: IT certainly IS a broad field, and anything can (and sometimes will) happen. I am more of a hardware specialist, though, so I'm definitely not looking at things from a software perspective. And besides that, it's just my personal view/opinion/assessment, whatever you want to call it, that it's not going to happen right now, and perhaps may not ever happen. Considering the success of the current models of Switch, they might even stretch it out a bit more and simply pour any design and/or hardware ideas of any potential Switch Pro into their next generation of hardware instead, who knows? It's Nintendo, after all.

As for those correctly predicted things: if I remember correctly (but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), that same person also "predicted" there being another Donkey Kong game, which should by now also have been revealed, and it obviously hasn't, and other rumors mentioned Switch versions of Windwaker and Twilight Princess, because of Zelda's anniversary, but all we got was the new teaser for Breath of the Wild and that Game & Watch handheld, which by the way was perfectly fine by me, since I wasn't expecting a slew of Zelda games anyway, so whether or not that prediction of "a lot of Zelda stuff coming" is true, also still remains to be seen.

Either way, as mentioned, in the end, it's just my opinion/view, and as with all personal sentiments, it might be incorrect, but for now, I feel I can confidently stand by it, and if it turns out otherwise, I'll gladly admit I was wrong. It won't annoy, anger or disappoint me, seeing as it's just a snapshot I've taken of the situation so far, and things can and will change, as they always do.

On a side note: I never look at things with my eyes half open. That wouldn't really make for a very good track record in my line of work, and I usually also tend to apply the same eye for detail to the things I have an interest in or care for in my personal life.

@Jackpaza0508 That is some nice and creative patch work right there.

@VoidofLight Not for BDSP but if they were to show off Legends Arceus.

@ThanosReXXX
There were loads of "rumours" before E3. A lot of them were obvious BS. The Bloomberg/Emily Rogers stuff I wouldn't put into that group.

Also, on "they could put it all into Switch 2". What is a Switch successor? What's the point of that? As you said the Switch is doing well, all the more reason to do revisions and push out the idea of a successor into "future".

I think the Pro is real partly because of the Bloomberg stuff. But also because, from a Dev's perspective, delaying platform change as much as possible makes sense to me. Especially with a platform selling as well as the Switch.

@skywake Well, I didn't mean a Switch 2, what I meant is that they never really make the same thing twice, so new hardware was/is already in development, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a Switch-like device, regardless of that specific medium now being so successful. Again: it's Nintendo after all, and that is usually their way.

I definitely agree with you on delaying a platform change, or a new platform, for that matter, for several reasons, and obviously, it's also in line with my current view on things.
