@SteamEngenius I have a feeling that the older type traditional dungeons will be returning, think positive

@Wewalia There could be traditional type dungeons beneath those areas where Malice is coming through

@Jackpaza0508 Isn’t it to do with Link turning into a tear drop?

Dream wish list
Breath of the Wild 2
A brand new top-down Zelda with a huge world to explore that has different camera angles
A brand new 3D Mario (not odyssey 2)
3D Donkey Kong game
New Wario Land game
New F-Zero game
Metroid 4

@Drew250 I’m a little confused with that too, I selected to live stream from the American site of Nintendo on YouTube, not sure wether that will work

Cor blimey! I’ll be keeping my excitement levels in check, though I’m hoping we might see some Breath of the Wild 2 and this rumoured Donkey Kong game

@SpaceboyScreams there will be many who will be genuinely upset and not just people in England but all over the UK and the commonwealth, especially those locals who enjoyed her company at Balmoral when she would walk her dogs and talk to folk. Your comments are extremely distasteful and vile

@Don You’re getting worked up over something that is a double rumour

If there is a direct I’m sure it would be focusing on 2023 and beyond.

It would be great to hear about this “rumoured” new Donkey Kong game that is meant to be long in development.

The OLED switch is grand to play with those vibrant colours and deep blacks, it just makes the games look so much more gorgeous

I’m surprised A Link Between Worlds didn’t sell more copies, it really is a well made beautiful top-down Zelda game for the 3DS

@TheBigK That is subjective at Nintendo and typical PR spin, mostly he meant Nintendo will support the switch for up to so long even if another system comes out. Let’s not forget Nintendo have denied a new system before only for them to reveal it the next day

The same could be said about a 3D Mario with the exception of Bowser’s Fury

@Remerkin I think I need glass perhaps, normally I’d notice small details

The older consoles are in great nick, almost looking brand new, I’d say he is very much a minimalist, a very tidy chap, very much like I am now with my consoles and games, I just wish I was when I was younger

I remember first happily chatting to a Yiga member to my horror, same with the Lynel at East Gate, completely forgetting Zelda games of the past that had Lynels and assumed they was friendly…

@NEStalgia You raise good points, but like I said before in another comment, what’s going on now has happened before, we had a recession back in 2009, that started in the USA I believe. Prices are extremely high at the moment, gas, energy, cost of living, food prices, the domino effect from the war of Ukraine, but somehow people still find funds for things that are fun

I’m going by Nintendo's history of failures and game releases for this next switch.

The five to six year game release of Zelda and Mario, Nintendo will want those big guns for a next system, without those games there would be a five year wait, that’s assuming that Breath of the Wild 2 only comes out on the Switch, and that another 3D Mario comes out on the Switch. So come 2024 or 2025 and Nintendo releases a new system, there’s no Mario and there’s no Zelda at the door, and Nintendo tends to follow a trend with Mario, they tend to like to break the mould with a new system with a new Mario that stirs a lot of hype, it’s been the same since Mario 64.

But if there’s no grand titles then Nintendo will suffer for it like the past

3DS suffered as it came out too early, (not enough games)

Wii U bad advertising, not even Nintendo knew what to do with it, no real game to showcase its true power

The Switch which had games at the door for the ready and it was a system that everyone knew. Some would say that there still wasn’t enough games at the start of the switch’s release. I remember people moaning about it on Facebook

I truly believe that games are being held back, for a possibility of a duel release for the next system, not a “Pro” model but the successor, I believe it will be backward compatible, the the Mario movie will tie in with the next 3D Mario game ready for the release of the next system which will have plenty of attention because of the movie.

The only thing that might cause delays is with the chip shortages but we know companies are stockpiling what they can get.

@SwitchForce I don’t understand it, I like change, I like seeing the future here and now. Gaming is meant to bring people together not to pull people apart because they have a desire for newer and better things.

I know we are in the midst of a crises all over the world but these things going on in the world have been happening for years anyway, wars, financial recessions, instability, and yet consoles still sell, smart phones still sell, computers, cars, houses, Nintendo are no different, they can’t ride of the sales of the switch forever, switch sales are starting to slow.

@johnvboy it won’t be another Zelda game, botw2 would have just come out on the switch, it would take another five to six years to Develop another mainline Zelda title, especially at the rate it’s taken this game to come out and that’s using the same engine and assets from the first game, in a sense they could have started from scratch again but that’s for another topic, unless of course it’s a top-down Zelda game. That would be fantastic

@NEStalgia to be honest there has been many recessions within the last 30 years and consoles still sold, even when there was a video game crash in the 80’s Nintendo found a way of turning that back to form and gaming became massive again.

I’ve noticed some people on these comment sections seem very angst on here regarding people wanting a newer system. There’s nothing wrong in that, I don’t see why it needs a degree of sarcasm or disrespect to other people just because they want something new.

@johnvboy I’m hoping at least 130 million sales easy.

I do worry though how Nintendo will transition for a new console, will it have some kind of flare or a typical Nintendo gimmick that will sell it, will it just be a more powerful system?

I mean the main thing is having games ready at the door for a release. That’s why I think we may get a successor sooner than we think, It takes roughly five years or more for a new Zelda game, 3D Mario was typically five years wait also, with the exception of the port of Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury, the Mario team have been quiet for nearly five years, we have had a few 3D Mario games now on the Switch. I can’t see Nintendo brining out anymore titles from these teams on the current switch, apart from Zelda Botw2 which we know is coming.

If Nintendo bring out a switch 2 in either 2024 or 2025, there would be an issue with game releases as they would have just recently come out on the normal switch a year or two before.

I’m going by game releases and how they usually plan. If Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 isn’t a duel release, if we get a big 3D Mario on the current switch within the year, the next system would have no big hitters at launch, unless there’s a big new Mario Kart, or Animal Crossing or Smash Bros, but the main line Zelda and Mario would be missing for the first few years

@johnvboy I don’t think it will reach DS sales, though I hope it does. The DS came out a time before most modern smart phones became popular. I can’t see those kind of sales again. But even if it doesn’t, the switch has been a massive success

@AlexHarford Thank you. People that are important do make such a big difference. And yes I’d love to keep in contact

@BartoxTharglod that could be a strong possibility, especially in regards to the joycon drift and just general repairs. I had a massive issue getting a pad for my Wii U which broke, was never able to purchase a new pad.

But there has been a huge amount of stockpiling here with Nintendo going by the graphs from previous years

I’m confused with Nintendo recently, we know they have been stockpiling raw materials, doubling from previous years, it’s very easy to buy a switch anywhere, sales are slowing which have nothing to do with semiconductor component part shortages, most people that wanted a switch now have one, there are enough switch consoles out there, probably more than enough, so what on earth is Nintendo sitting on with its stock piles, it’s certainly not for a switch which is slowing down in sales. I still think Switch 2, or whatever it will be named, will be out next year, I’d say possibly April with a duel release of Breath of the Wild 2, throw in a brand new 3D Mario with the movie release. Plenty of momentum for a next system. And no it won’t be a switch pro.

I want a Mario Kart where the race courses change such as Grumble Volcano and give each lap a different intensity, I also love the single course race of just one big course such as Mount Wario. I’d love boss levels and preferably a hub of some sort, basically Diddy Kong Racing but Mario style. Change it up a bit

People believing Nikkei now, didn’t they report last year that a pro model was coming and everyone was up in arms saying it was nonsense and that Nikkei was talking bull.

Truth is we know Nintendo has been stockpiling raw materials, doubling from 2019. Either that stock pile is for the current switch, including Oled, or something new.

@AlexHarford I hope you are feeling a lot better now. I hope you have people to talk to, because that’s so important.

Mine came on from years of bottling up emotions and working around toxic people in a work environment, surprisingly I worked in care and supporting adults with autism, we was kind of left to our own devices at the start of the pandemic, it was extremely hard and my dad had a stroke last year after having open heart surgery which was meant to save his life, at some point in recovery he had the stroke which has left him permanently disabled, a combination of all that and again working with toxic staff just came to a boiling point, it got that bad that all I could think about was ending it all.

At first I couldn’t enjoy anything that I used to love and enjoy, it was as if something In me had died, and gradually, slowly over weeks and months I stared to enjoy things again. I’m still not 100% and the result of all that has caused other problems with me emotionally but I know exploring Hyrule helped, strangely enough I go Lynel hunting, monster camp searching. Also I love other games, Mario being another favourite.

I’m a lot better now, some days can be a struggle but I don’t ever want to feel like that again.

But I really hope you are feeling better

@Nancyboy You’re epic, thank you ❤️

I suffered from a nervous breakdown last year after a dreadful time. I can tell you that playing Zelda Breath of the Wild helped me a great deal especially with anxiety. Nintendo games have always made me feel happy, they have done since I was a kid when I first played Super Mario bros and Duckhunt back in the early 90’s

Well deserved, such a great game, I hope this is the future of Kirby, Donkey Kong could also use the same treatment too.

I remember that sunset in Sirena Beach, the water effects were so great for its time. I loved the setting and enjoyed that some of the levels could be played in the evening. The hotel was pretty good too, jumping into the statue of Boo’s mouth, it was very imaginative. Only thing I didn’t like was the boat mechanic where you needed FLUDD to manoeuvre around and that level where you had to get Yoshi to that island with the pipe. That level was awful

I thought a new Odyssey game has been revealed with that headline pic

@CharlieGirl I had to buy a small air conditioning unit a few years ago, it’s one of those units where you have to have a pipe which needs to go through a window, only because I used to work nights and in the summer the heat that would penetrate through my blackout curtains would make me sick waking up from a night shift, I would wake up delirious and feeling exhausted, least to say that penguin air conditioning unit has been a life saver for me these last few days with the heat we have had in the UK, I have been to Thailand and Turkey in their summer and the heat we had here must have been hotter than that.

@Dezzy70 I remember my folks bought Star Wars on the NES back in the day at a Christmas for me and my brother, I found out some years later that they paid about £50 for that game 😮

@Stocksy I understand you on this, my dad had a stroke last year and now needs a wheelchair for everywhere he goes and it’s really opened my eyes for how bad it is for people with disabilities to go to places to enjoy themselves, even going for a meal now we have to research which places have ramps or access for wheelchairs

@Rayquaza2510 behave, heatwaves tend to happen a lot during in summer. Though I wasn’t born, there the UK had a heatwave of six weeks back in 1976, even beer had run out for the pubs. We’ve had summers which have practically been rain and more rain, this is what summer should be like

@Dezzy70 Absolutely, the games too, having said that I tend to use Shopto for good prices on games.

@Dezzy70 unfortunately this is happening in most places of the world

Surely if Nintendo have been stockpiling materials they wouldn’t have issues?

@Stubborn_Monkey you’re cool, I love hearing peoples thoughts and opinions, sometimes there can be confusion though on forums with differences and options.

If we get another Odyssey game on the switch I’d be more than happy, I’d also be happy for something brand new on a more powerful system too. I’m happy either way. Sometimes Nintendo are extremely very hard to predict and it’s why I love talking about where they will be in the future. I guess I’m a person who likes things to be changed, so I know Odyssey sold over 22 million copies, I wouldn’t want sequels and sequels all the time, because we would never have anything new. But that’s just my thinking. Though I do think Cappy will remain a permanent character in the next Mario, even if it’s not called Odyssey

@Stubborn_Monkey I don’t think it will be an Odyssey 2

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/11/nintendo-wants-to-expand-3d-mario-games-in-new-ways

Nintendo could have easily used the same Odyssey engine and had a sequel already by now as it’s coming up to five years.

I believe we will get something new which will probably come out for a next system

@steventonysmith I Don’t think we will get another 3D Mario for the switch, we’ve had two 3D Mario games released on the switch already, three, if you include Bowser’s Fury. I truly believe the development for the next big Mario will be for the next system as Nintendo are going to need big games for it.

@westman98 I wish they would show us what they have been up to since Odyssey. But I have a feeling it could be for the next system, that’s my guess. Maybe something similar to Bowser’s Fury

@westman98 I think the Mario team have probably been active since Mario Odyssey came out in 2017 with the next development of Mario, I know new job listings were put out there for both 2D and 3D games. Though it has been “rumoured” that a new team was put together for this Donkey Kong game, not the actual Mario Odyssey team.

Well we know something is being prepared due to the Nvidia leaks and it certainly will not be a “switch pro” the chip that Nintendo will be using will be too much an upgrade for a pro model. It’s going to be extremely good for a handheld. My guess is, Nintendo are stockpiling chips and materials ready for the next switch, they obviously don’t want a Sony situation. I’m certain it will be ready for spring 2023 ready for BoTW 2 and the next 3D Mario

I actually thought it was his idea for the art style

@Bolt_Strike I have a feeling we won’t be getting Odyssey 2, but if I’m wrong I’ll eat my hat.

I presume Nintendo are developing the next 3D Mario for the next system and it will incorporate Cappy but not necessarily be Odyssey 2 but a brand new title

@Luigi_Skywalker with jam on first and then with the clotted cream 😉
