could Grezzo release a remake of Oracle of Age and Season or a remaster of Ocarina of Time/Majora Mask to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the franchise?(this could happen or not).
After their port of Super Mario 64 to Switch, I imagine Nintendo ERD would handle any possible port of OoT and MM to Switch. Even though Grezzo handled the 3DS ports of those games. I believe Grezzo is busy with something else now that Miitopia is at the finish line.
@gcunit
It would have lessened the impact of the statement. The art of wordy, melodramatic oratory declarations is a finely cultivated skill, my friend. It's all in the structural delivery 😀

@JaxonH I don't dispute its brilliance for one moment old chap, but in the time it took me to read through it I could have completed Xenoblade Chronicles 1& 2 twice over, and I do have backlog to contend with, mon ami 😋
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
Remember in 2018 when other Nintendo games tried to be like Splatoon with free content updates, but none of them were Splatoon so they largely didn't work out? And then Mario Party came out, did no updates despite everyone wanting them, and it still quietly outsold most other Nintendo games anyway?
That was weird. I always assumed they needed some games for their 2nd year at certain times and so they didn't delay them and did that instead. This is a very light complaint (more just an observation that amuses me) since those games were still generally good, because I just remembered Anthem again and I immediately go from "eh, that didn't work out like it maybe should have" to "Wow by comparison, great job on your content update strategy Nintendo!"
After having such a great time with Sword, I'd love to play through another traditional Pokemon game. I really haven't played fully through any other Pokemon games than Red and Blue, so almost anything they could decide to remake would be a win for me lol
The Sanrio Animal Crossing amiibo cards have functionality in New Horizons following an update on March 18th. Could be part of a larger update given how close it is to the 1 year anniversary.
After last week's Nintendo Direct getting so much hatred, looks like its Sony's turn after their State of Play. It's almost like people have way too high expectations and there's been a pandemic that has caused a lot of development problems. Guess news on the shutting down of Japan Studio internal development doesn't help.

Apparently Ghosts in Goblins for that Capcom Arcade thing quits being free today. Might wanna jump on that if you haven't already.
@FragRed High expectations? Maybe. But in the case of the SoP, they had almost nothing new worth showing off.
I think most people understand covid messed up the industry, but if you have nothing to show off, don't announce a livestream to rub it in. The few bits of news in that SoP could have been twitter posts.
Nintendo made the right call last year by temporarily canning Directs.
@Anti-Matter Yep. They weren't making cinematic action game blockbusters like almost every other Sony studio, so their games underperformed and now they're a shell of their former self, with the big names associated with it going off to do other stuff.
Cue 5x more "we love Japan and they're important to us" statements from Sony as they resort to money-hatting big releases from Square, Capcom, etc. to hide the damage on the Japanese game front. They'd be in real trouble if there was a relevant competitor in the region that was on the same level of power with their hardware (Microsoft has tried, so much, tried to get Japanese audiences interested in their devices, and it just never works, lol).
At least Nintendo Directs have enough announcements enough of the time to make sense. All the ones trying to rip them off have almost always been underwhelming. They have neither the charm nor the announcements to justify making an event out of anything. A shame for Sony in particular since enough of the games they show are at least interesting.
@Ralizah
As we approach ever closer to the limit with diminishing returns, I think Nintendo will step into that role.
Even if the revision never comes, their next gen Switch is just a few years away. And if they make the jump to 8th gen power (a conservative expectation by 2024-2025, at which point base X1/PS4 will be 12 years old), with DLSS that can take 1080p images on the tv and crank them out at 4k with better results than native in many cases, that day will have come. It may take some work to get a game to run on 8th gen hardware, but after seeing what’s been able to get running on Switch, I have no doubt every single game moving forward could be made to run on 8th gen powered hardware. Even if it were a massive 9th gen game built ground up that had to run at 720p on a PS4, that DLSS could pump it out at 1440p.
A day of reckoning is soon approaching. And at the rate they’re earning back 3rd party support (especially from JP devs), if they also had hardware that could run everything and look comparable... When Nintendo makes that jump, they’re gonna shut it down..

@kkslider5552000 Ditto. I'm an avid PlayStation gamer as well but don't regret sleeping on the State of Play that aired this morning. Only thing of pleasant surprise to me was Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade, which'll give us the best version of the game possible on PS5. Otherwise, apart from maybe Kena: Bridge of Spirits, which comes out in October, I didn't really care for anything there.
If you're not a shooter fan you might feel the same, because based off the general tone of it, the main games presented were Deathloop and Returnal, both of which are roguelike shooters coming for PS5 within four months. They also have the (insignificant) distinction of not attracting my attention so there's that. I just watched both trailers and both seem to use cutscenes more than gameplay to sell the game.
Nintendo doesn't do this as much, they share gameplay first in a proper trailer. Breath of the Wild's E3 2016 trailer stands out as a perfect example of "show, not tell" in this case. The Switch Presentation trailer... after four years it still gives me chills. It never fails to. It showed so much gameplay and people thought it was fake. Well here we are now.
@Ralizah I honestly wonder if general Directs will happen anymore once Smash Ultimate DLC is over. Not sure if it's just me but it's felt like Nintendo has relied on Smash a lot as the big announcement(s).
I could easily see a reveal in the next Direct where the character's revealed and then announcement of more fighters incoming after Fighters Pass 2 is over. So like what happened with Terry in September 2019 Direct.
I think I can see Sony's template (I told you they had a template!) Didn't fit for what Japan wanted to make, and Sony seems interested in moderate success in Japan, huge success elsewhere, which Japan Studio didn't want to do.
So Sony has now fully adopted the stance of what the western studios make, is what we want, and if we want to compete in Japan we just pay studios to keep their stuff off of other systems.
It's very PS1 in a way
