Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

We are launching our new trivia game "Save Farty" today. I am mortified by the negative media e.g. News Channel 9. I don't think the game is that bad at all and does not deserve this.

@Giancarlothomaz
Okay, thanks for letting me know.
Wait, when did they say that it was going to be updated for 3 years? At the rate they're bringing content back, we won't have most (or all) of the content back until MP 4 launches. 🤔😳

@thebinaryfamily I'm not clicking on the vid but seeing as you're the publisher/developer I suspect you're trying to be a victim in hope that people will defend you by buying the game otherwise why are you posting negative news on your own youtube channel about this game?

@jump Your suspicion is confirmed!

@SM3DASislit in a interview after the game released, Kotaku interviewed the director and Producer of the game, @Anti-Matter next 3D Mario game to feature dimension travel?

@jump
It seems to be a parody video used as comic advertisement.

Creative, I'll give it that. Not interested, but I thought the video wasnt bad as an ad.

@jump

It's obviously fake. No-one's trying to ban anything. Just an unusual marketing idea.

I dunno, but if the whole thing takes up to 6 hours like they say, they might have actually been working on this for quite a while, which means that maybe we're not actually getting another 3D Mario game on the Switch.

Well, why not?
If 3D Mario games can be upgraded like Ratchet & Clank games, it probably looks better.
Or turn Mario and the gangs into secret agents in spionage style game like Sly Cooper with different abilities for each secret agents and Free roaming gameplay.

@Dezzy That's a whole new level of depressing right there. ALL THIS TIME they've been working on an add-on to a port of a game that came out eight years ago? Only one thing good about this, is that I can say to you that I wasn't wrong about the size of the Bowser's Fury content!

@theJGG I'm pretty sure Bowser's Fury was originally Odyssey DLC that got moved to being included with 3D World. Maybe because Odyssey support ended too long ago (the last 8 bit Luigi hint art was in November 2018) to get good DLC sales?

@Grumblevolcano

Yeah I was thinking that. Maybe they planned it as a 3D World themed world in Odyssey, as a way of helping promote the upcoming 3D World port.

Then realized half way through that it would probably just make more sense economically to add it to the 3D World release itself. If that's what happened, I think they made the right decision. This is gonna sell a lot more copies than it would have otherwise.

@theJGG

Call me old fashioned but I'd slightly prefer an Odyssey sequel over 'being right on the internet', as good as that is!

I reckon it was more to do with not having a new main Mario game ready to go for the anniversary so they spruced up one of the re-releases to make it more wow but with Coivd it buggered their plans.

@Giancarlothomaz
Okay, thanks for letting me know.
Now you mention, I do remember there being an interview about that, but I guess I missed it somehow.
Wait, was that the interview in which Nogami said that New Horizons was the "third-generation" of the Animal Crossing series, and hopes that New Horizons is played for "many years to come", IIRC. 🤔😳

Ooof, that "fans should forget Bayonetta 3" comment from Hideki Kamiya is brutal. I'm not sure what perspective I should take on this? Is Kamiya trying to bring fans down, only to surprise us with a late 2021 release? Or is Bayo 3 really a long, looooooong ways off even still? Or, worst case scenario, Bayo 3 is unofficially now vaporware like Scalebound?

It's a tough comment to swallow, no matter how you slice it. Although it gives the theory of Bayonetta 3 being a launch game for the Switch successor more credence. But would Bayo 3 really still be pre-alpha, only at the planning stage? All Kamiya as said the past several months regarding Bayo 3 was "everything's fine" or "development's going well".

Don't look that deep into it. We got enough Grumble conspiracies as is 😉

Just means stop asking about it- they'll talk when they're ready. Which, he clearly implied some news will be made this year.

@Magician I have a bad feeling about Bayonetta 3 between that comment, the SEGA news and rumours of Microsoft doing another Bethesda scale acquisition. 2nd and 3rd points also apply to a bad feeling about SMTV.

Perhaps that is also why Platinum gave Nintendo the Astral Chain IP, to make up for Bayonetta becoming an Xbox exclusive franchise.

@Grumblevolcano

SMT V has an official release window, a dedicated website, and was on Sega's financial report.

I'm not worried about it.

@JaxonH

Yeah, it's fair to say Kamiya is just flat out tired of the Bayo 3 questions.

Lol Even if MS buys SEGA, SMTV and Bayo3 will still be Switch exclusives. Just like how Deathloop(Bethesda published game) is still gonna be a PlayStation timed exclusive for a year.

Also, didn't Nintendo already own the Astral Chain IP(at least the majority)? When the game came out, HK was already saying it was up to Nintendo regarding it getting ported to other systems.

@Magician i fear that Bayonetta 3 is cancelled(vaporware as you said, or Platinum Games is planning to release Bayonetta 3 on Switch sucessor), Nintendo should never anounced this game early like Metroid Prime 4, next time, anounce a game like Bayonetta 3 when is close to release(i would avoid all this stress).
