Ok, so my parents got me 60 dollars in eshop gift cards, and was wondering if anybody can help me decide what to get. My two games that keep on spinning around in my head are origami king, and 3D all stars, if anybody has a recommendation on which one I should get, feel free to respond!
check out all the bugs/fish and Sea Creatures you can catch and donate to your Museum in january(WOW, that a lot of bugs i need to catch and donate to my Museum next month, sadly Northern Hemiphere players don't have new bugs/fish and Sea Creatures you can catch and donate to your Museum in january).
The Xbox version of Gal*Gun Returns was canceled (seems like the developers didn't want to censor that version of the game; good for them!), so that's another console exclusive in 2021.
Man, I can't believe how many awesome third party exclusives Nintendo is getting next year. Disgaea, Monster Hunter/Stories, Shin Megami Tensei, Rune Factory, No More Heroes, Bravely... I actually wouldn't mind if Nintendo decided to take a year off from releasing games. Other people may buy Nintendo consoles for Mario and Zelda (and, to be fair, I do love those games and buy them too), but these are the sort of experiences I buy consoles for.
I think we’re gonna get a Monster Hunter Rise Direct in mid January, and here’s why.
1 hype up the game as it enters the final 2 month countdown 2 announce the demo for the following weekend, and hype it up 3 announce Monster Hunter for Smash Bros 4 announce Monster Hunter Rise edition Nintendo Switch (possibly Japan only)
Was just thinking how odd it would be for Nintendo to not have a MH Rise themed system to release alongside the game, given they did it for every single 3DS entry. Would be a major missed opportunity for hardware sales, especially given their investment in the game (clearly they think it’ll help shift units). I would find myself in utter disbelief if they did not release LE hardware for the game. Which means it has to get announced sometime before launch, as does the demo, and together, along with say, inclusion in Smash Bros, would make for a hype enough announcement to draw attention.
Expect something around January 18-21st. That’s my guess.

@JaxonH I think it all comes down to Bowser's Fury. The ideas that come to mind are:
January 7th or 14th general Direct with Bowser's Fury being revealed in the Direct (Nintendo started promoting Animal Crossing a month before launch).
Bowser's Fury ends up being a standalone reveal trailer around January 12th and then in your prediction timeframe is Partner Showcase + MH Direct like in September. Nintendo in this case stays quiet about 1st party until mid-February (perhaps a Zelda 35th anniversary Direct).
@JaxonH that possible to happen, given that Nintendo is heavily promoting Monster Hunter Rise in her Twitter page, anounce another Monster Hunter Rise Direct in mid january(january 12 or january 17th, with the date of the game and a themed Switch Lite or standard Switch version Edition of Monster Hunter Rise close to it release, but where the general Nintendo Direct that everyone is waiting fit?we need to know about the mysterious Bowser Fury mode of Super Mario 3D World+ Bowser Fury.
@Grumblevolcano I said this to @Dezzy in a comment a few weeks ago, something along the lines of:
If it's included in the title it must be a very big piece of content.
I remain skeptical but hopeful.
If it was a bigger affair (e.g like 1/3 the size of the original game, rather than the 1/8th I'm imagining), then that would also explain why we've heard absolutely nothing about an Odyssey 2, when it seems like we should have by now. That team was possibly doing this instead?
@theJGG@Dezzy I think comparing Bowser's Fury to 3D World will be comparable to comparing Future Connected to the base XC1 game. If Bowser's Fury was bigger then it would be paid DLC with 3D World being $60 release on its own but if it was smaller the game's name would've probably been Super Mario 3D World Deluxe.
That comparison doesn't make sense though because Future Connected wasn't mentioned in the title of the game. So by that standard Xenoblade is already equivalent to 3D World being called "Deluxe".
If there's a good reason to think it might be a (relatively) bigger addition, I think it's the fact that the base game for 3D World is expected to be identical to the Wii U game. Whereas Xenoblade had a whole bunch of graphical and QOL improvements in the main game, so it didn't really need that much additional content to appeal to second-time buyers.
Whereas given that 3D World is pretty much the best-looking game on the Wii U, there's not much expectation that it will have any graphical improvements. So without additional content, there's really no reason people would rebuy it. Unless they're portable-essentialists.
I never played any of them to know how much added content there is, but it is the exact same title they used for their 3DS remakes of the Mario and Luigi games (Mario and Luigi + Bowser's Minions, etc.). So I imagine it's about the same as those, whatever that is.
@Dezzy The comparison to Future Connected is nothing to do with name but rather that interview where Monolith Soft revealed if Future Connected was longer it would've been paid DLC like Torna.
@BruceCM
Yea, I don't know, I just feel weird telling people what I want, especially for something like Christmas. Honestly I don't want people to go out of their way to buy me anything, so I just kind of sprinkle little things here and there for those immediately in my life if someone happens to get me something.
In the case with "hinting" Age of Calamity to my wife, I set the computer wallpaper to the AoC art for the last month lol
But I didn't get to start playing it yet and it's driving me crazy! I'm soooo close to the end of my Golden Deer playthrough for Fire Emblem, and that's not the kind of game I can just put down for a few weeks and then pick up again and remember everything I was doing. So hopefully I can finish that today!

Right but I think that's because of the other stuff I mentioned. The fact that they were already doing a ton of work on Xenoblade to update it visually and some of its systems, so they probably felt like it was already worth buying for second time players (Which is true. I would've undoubtedly bought it even without Future Connected, and tbh Future Connected was kinda disappointing overall).
But without additional content for 3D World, the only thing it offers over the Wii U version is portability. If it didn't have additional content, I wouldn't be getting the Switch version at all, and I assume plenty of people are in that same situation.
