If I were to guess, we might get an HD port of Samus Returns on Switch next year.

And there's always hope for that long-rumored Prime HD trilogy.

@Marbio 1. Stop asking everyone if they are excited for Smash Bros.
2. No, if it's just "hi", no.

@Slowdive I don't want to believe they'd release 3 2D Metroid remakes in a row (Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super) in a subseries that only had 4 actual titles so far. But... can't count it out. Plus, whereas Zero Mission and Samus Returns make playing the original titles obsolete, I struggle to see how a Super remake could improve the title in any notable way. Also, the original is free via NSO and one of the greatest games of all time so...

@Magician i hope for Metroid 35 anniversary, just like you said a release of a HD/deluxe version of Metroid Prime Trilogy and a 2D Metroid game that continues the Metroid Fusion history, with a teaser or trailer of Metroid Prime 4 at TGA 2021, with a fall 2022 release date, after all Nintendo will need to find a way to hype everyone to buy Metroid Prime 4, if they don't do that, theres a highly chance Metroid Prime 4 is gonna be the worst selling game of the franchise,even if Metroid Prime 4 turn up to be the best game of the franchise.

@Marbio "hello". Is that what you wanted? This isn't YouTube where you can spam random stuff and not get punished. This is a much smaller community and stuff like that is annoying. Repeating the same question to multiple people will greatly decrease your odds of getting an answer.

So if you want to ask "Who's excited for Steve in Smash" I suggest you do it in either the Smash Bros Ultimate thread, or tone it down in this thread.

With my birthday on the horizon I think it's time for a cray cray import game order.

Time to go browsing, I still need a copy of ESP RaDe.

Gyro in Pikmin 3 also!!!

They’re nailing it. Two in a row- we’re on a roll! First Monster Hunter Rise, now Pikmin 3. Gotta love it.

...it's not as good as pointer controls...

Gyro > Pointer controls in most use cases, IMO.

@DarthNocturnal
Yes. Pikmin 3 on Wii U, and Pikmin New Play Control! and Pikmin 2 New Play Control! on Wii used IR pointer controls. It was such a natural fit, most Pikmin fans can’t even imagine playing the series without motion now.

Obviously gyro isn’t as good as IR pointer in this select case (I agree with @Ralizah that gyro is best in most use cases), but it’s still much, much better than the default GameCube style “left analog controls the player when past 50% tilt but also controls the pointer before 50% tilt” input method which is just awkward. Seems very well done, too. With the lock on also included it may even come close to the IR pointer experience.

Also, yes, gyro for Bowguns and Bows, it seems. Really nothing else it could be for, barring maybe the wirebug? But I doubt that. Maybe it’s also an option but ranged weapons are a definite lock. After using gyro in MH World on Steam, I fell in love and wanted desperately for this game to include it. But I never actually thought they would! Now I may experiment with a gunner build, at least on the side. Charge blade will be my main weapon regardless.

Pikmin 3 Deluxe demo is live on the NA eShop

i wonder how Metroid Prime 4 or a HD/deluxe version of Metroid Prime Trilogy is gonna play on Switch?since for the people that played Metroid Prime Trilogy in they Wii like me, the game used the Pointer functality of Wiimote for aiming your beam cannon, how Nintendo is gonna adapt this kinda of control for Metroid Prime Trilogy HD?since i believe Nintendo might release a HD/deluxe version of Metroid Prime Trilogy in the Switch, one year before the release of Metroid Prime 4, to hype everyone to buy Metroid Prime 4 and to newcomer know the franchise before they decide on buying Metroid Prime 4, everyone know Metroid is a franchise that sell poorly compared to others Nintendo franchises such as Mario, Legend of Zelda and even Animal Crossing, by releasing a HD/deluxe of Metroid Prime Trilogy, Nintendo could show how amazing the Metroid franchise is and increase the chances of Metroid Prime 4 be the best game of the franchise, after all Nintendo spent a lot of money in the game development(150/170 milions dollars) by comparion Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild bugdet was rumored to be 120 milions dollars, yes i considering Metroid Prime 4 the Nintendo game with the higest budget spent in it development even surpassing Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild that was said to be most expensive Legend of Zelda and Nintendo game to made.
