Is there any hints or news about a possible Mario and sonic at the winter games announcement.
I’m hoping annually we get a Mario sports game. So in 2019 we got tennis. 2020 Mario and sonic at summer games. 2021 Mario golf. 2022 Mario and sonic at winter games. 2023 Mario strikers.
@sixrings Ubisoft got the license for the 2018 Winter Olympics which was used in Steep so I'd guess the 2022 Winter Olympics license goes to Ubisoft again but this time for Riders Republic.
Riders Republic doesn't seem to be focusing on the winter sports much, so I doubt Ubi would want the Winter Olympics licence for it. Unless they plan on putting a deep focus onto each area with DLC once it's released, but even then they shouldn't need the licence for that.
Maybe I just really hope for a new Mario and Sonic Winter Olympics that's as good as Sochi was to the point I don't want Ubi to get the licence.
Always on the search to wishlist more games within those genres I enjoy most. Action/rpg, music/rhythm, and shmups. Going off Opencritic recommendations it seems as though Dreamscaper, Tadpole Treble Encore, and Jamestown+ might be worthwhile. Worse than Death looks pretty good as well.

A new Marvel tactics RPG from Firaxis, the developer of Civilization and XCOM? And it's coming to Switch?
I keep saying it- Switch is the greatest strategy platform of all time. Next year alone we get Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Project Triangle Strategy and this new Marvel Tactics. And a new Fire Emblem is likely around the corner. And that's after Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp this December, and we already have Vallyria Chronicles 1, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Civilization VI, XCOM 2 and Fire Emblem Three Houses.
The only seriously legit strategy game not on Switch is Gears Tactics. But it has so many exclusive SRPGs just as good if not better, it more than makes up for it.
I probably won't get it on Switch. All my strategy stuff excludiing the exclusives like Fire Emblem are played on PC, but I'm psyched to see the XCOM guys are doing a Marvel game, let alone one of the most underrated Marvel teams of all time

I'm the opposite, I'm far more a Marvel fan than a strategy fan. But I haven't even played the not Xcom Mario + Rabbids I have owned for a year and a half though, so I'm not sure I'd play this one from the actual Xcom guys soon.
also Marvel has been underwhelming in games for years now, even with great devs, so I'm more cautious than I would be.

I'm as much of a Marvel fan as I am anything else like Spiderman, Batman, etc, which is to say, not a diehard super fan, but... I still like it. I grew up loving X-Men (particularly Wolvernine).
But we've had Batman games, we've had Spiderman games. It's nice getting something different, and it's nice getting it in a different genre as well.

You gotta play Mario Rabbids. The game is a masterpiece. Split joycon for best HD rumble effect.
Fire Emblem Awakening made me a strategy fan. But I'm very picky. It's gotta be quality for me to enjoy the genre. Thankfully there's a ton of quality games in the genre, and they're all so different.
Start with Mario Rabbids. Once you play that you'll be ready for a game like X-COM 2 or Midnight Suns. I don't think it'll be an XCOM clone though. Firaxis are the masters of the genre and Civilization is quite different than XCOM. I do expect it to be more similar to XCOM than Civ, but at the same time bring its own flavor.

Fire Emblem Awakening will forever be one of my favorite games I've ever played.
Idk what it was, specifically, that made me love the game so much. I mean, it has a lot of amazing qualities, but something about that game makes it far more than the sum of its parts. It also feels perfectly suited to the hardware it runs on (barring the missing feet, although that's kinda become part of its charm).
2013 for 3DS was quite the year! But I think I like this year even more. 2021 for Switch has been outstanding.
