Oh, so he does work on other games, sometimes, then, @jump .... Well, I might be up for a new Kid Icarus, not having tried them before

@Grumblevolcano i don't think this gonna happen, beside Masahiro Sakurai already stated that Fighter Pass vol. 2 is gonna be the final DLC for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, maybe Metroid Prime 4/Bayonetta 3 is gonna mark the end of Switch lifecycle istead?(since both games was anounced in 2017,Switch launch year).

@timleon

I’m still baffled that KI:U hasn’t surfaced on Switch. Could really benefit from a HD makeover and dual stick/gyro control options.

@kkslider5552000 I replay all 3d Mario games every year in order of release but I skip sunshine. I have 100% completed sunshine like every other Mario game but man sunshine is just not good at all compared to the other 3d Marios. It's a decent game don't get me wrong but sunshine is like the sonic 06 of the Mario series. It's definitely the worst one. If sunshine was just all the bonus levels then it would be fantastic. Mario sunshine was held back by some of the level design and FLUDD FLUDD just sucks. When you finally get to the bonus levels where shadow mario takes away FLUDD It makes me wanna scream "HOLY ***** IM FINALLY FREE!" xD

Can't say I enjoyed Sunshine too much, based on what I played in 3D Collection. It was OK, but not like Galaxy, 3D World and Odyssey. 3D Mario really transcended to perfection after Sunshine.

3D World is so good. Man it's so good. I love it just as much as Odyssey. Both great, just in different ways. Perfect for handheld. Bite sized levels. Reminds me of playing 3D Land on 3DS. We went from that as our handheld Mario, to 3D World and Odyssey as our handheld Mario. We're going from Bravely Default to Bravely Default 2, from Persona Q to Persona 5 Strikers, from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate to Monster Hunter Rise, from TWEWY to Neo: TWEWY. From Trails 1/2 and Ys VIII on Vita to Trails 3/4 and Ys VIII and Ys IX, Rune Factory 4 to Rune Factory 5, Monster Hunter Stories to Monster Hunter Stories 2, SMTIV and Apocalypse to SMT Nocturne HD and SMTV.

The jump from 3DS/Vita to Switch is the single largest advancement I've ever seen in a console generation, barring perhaps PS2 to PS3. Even then I think the handheld jump to Switch was bigger.

@JaxonH Your so right! Odyssey Galaxy and 3D world are my favorites and they are all so different I cant really pick a number one they are just fantastic all around like you said in different ways.

So it seems the new Resident Evil for Switch is, of course, built on the same version of RE Engine as Monster Hunter Rise, and will in fact be a timed exclusive. At first he said it was simply targeting Switch as lead platform but would be multiplat. But, it’s apparently a timed exclusive, and will release within 1 year of RE Village. So either late this year or early 2022.

And most interestingly, the budget is supposedly almost on par with Resident Evil Village. While it started off as “RE Revelations 3” it won’t be named that in order to distinguish itself from the sub-tier image of the Revelations subseries. And lastly, he says the game is a looker, especially for Switch.

Capcom’s feeding us Switch gamers good this fiscal year. Eatin’ good and fat.

@JaxonH Man, I don't care what anyone says. Resident Evil Revelations, for the time, was both an AMAZING handheld exclusive and the best Resident Evil game to release in over half a decade. Still really annoys me that the game apparently didn't sell well. Capcom worked wonders with the incredibly weak hardware of the 3DS.

But seeing reactions to the idea of a Revelations 3, Capcom is probably right to abandon that name in favor of something more original.

I liked RE Revelations 1 & 2 ..... Will be interested to see what they're planning, though

Star fox 64 HD and KIU HD would make a nice dual package.

@Ralizah
I loved RE Revelations also. Played it through twice on 3DS, once solo and once in RAID mode with my brother online.

I think the second one damaged the reputation of the series. Now personally, I love the RAID mode in RE Revelations 2. But I think there's no denying the main game mode of RER2 isn't held in the same regard as the mainline entries.

It's great to see new games built ground up targeting Switch. 7th generation ports usually look the most impressive because they're built for hardware of similar power, but games built ground up still tend to look even better.

After seeing how excellent MHR turned out, I can't help but be enthusiastic about the potential quality of the RE game Capcom might be making for Switch. RE Remake was the most graphically impressive game on GC, the same could be said for RE Rev on the 3DS. So I'm eager to see if the wizards at Capcom continue that trend. Should be something special.

Nintendo anounce for tommorow at 2pm, a 50 minute Nintendo Direct focused on Super Smash Bros Ultimate and games releasing on the first half of 2021.

Well, there's the Direct everyone wanted.

I'm excited, but not as much as usual because I just feel so full right now. 3D World, Bravely Default 2, Persona 5 Strikers, Monster Hunter Rise, New Pokémon Snap, Trails of Cold Steel 4... the next 60 days are packed.

But, maybe they'll show a few new titles for June, July, August and September.

I'm really not expecting much beyond games we already know about (or are already out). If anything beyond that, I imagine something Zelda related.

Considering it's a main Direct and not a partner showcase gives me hope that we'll get the "one more thing" gigaton tease at the end, if nothing else.

debating/speculating what Nintendo could show on tommorow massive Nintendo Direct.

@JaxonH There's still a number of early 2021 titles that need release dates. This year is gonna be PACKED.

I'm hopeful for Nocturne HD in April.

@Magician I mean, even the partner directs have had big reveals at the end, so it's pretty much a given that they'll be saving their biggest announcement for last. A fuller reveal for BotW2 would be really cool, although I'm not gonna count on it.

@Ralizah

I'm with you, I feel expecting any news on BotW 2 is asking a bit much.

But a release date for No More Heroes III sure would be nice.

@Magician If we get release dates and/or shadowdrops for Gnosia, Nocturne HD, and an upcoming exclusive that's not Bayonetta or NMH, I'll be satisfied.
