And Nintendo, for the love of god, ditching Miiverse was a terrible decision on the Switch. Are you forgetting about how it changed our lives on the Wii U with meeting gamers around the world, a place to ask for help, a place to share our playtime with games, a place for you to know us and vice versa. It even intergrated into the Awesome Wii U games quite well. The Switch needs a place like that, not to mention an easier way of finding friends by sending out a request to them with an accept option, and a play to talk directly to your friends mouth to mouth.
Oh Game Critics, When is one of you going to ask these Developers about the Poor Decision about ditching Miiverse? That’s your job to collect Information about these games. Don’t you want people to see what your Miis look like? Don’t you agree that a SMM like Game would be pointless on the Switch, as Miiverse is what got SMM running on the Wii U.
Sorry to ruin your Ambition Nintendo, but I’m not getting my hands on a Switch myself until you announce the Next Official Mario Kart game for it with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks for it is announced, not to mention one with unlockable content and features from a Mainstream Mario Game released for the city (which would include Super Mario Odyssey, like MKDD had Features from Super Mario Sunshine), a new game of the Most Popular Mario Spinoff that you release on each and every Nintendo System that continues to amaze us.
@AJWolfTill Celebrated Talents will likely be the choice, they don’t use the Seattle Boice Actors for Movies that much. As stated above, I can’t imagine Mario & Luigi being voiced by separate people, plus they wouldn’t be the same without Charles Martinet.
Alas, this film could forgo Mario’s iconic Characteristics from each game, such as with his iconic phrases, not talking with Full Extensive Dialogue, and being voiced by Charles Martinet, the only man to’ve ever voiced the 4 Italian Plumbers and their Baby Counterparts since 1996, I can’t imagine Mario & Luigi being voiced by separate people.
See, 5-6 years is supposed to be a Video Game Console's Life Span as stated in this News Feed, the Wii U went discontinued at the wrong time, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash should not exist because every Gaming System with a Mario Tennis game is supposed to have a Mario Golf game as well and vice versa. None of this would've ever happened with the Life Changing Wii U if the Switch released at the same time as every other gaming system twards Christmas, that's one of the points about the Switch I've kept asking People who've spoken with Game Developers in the past to ask about it. That's their job collecting information about Games and Gaming Platforms, which leads to something that can get posted onto the internet called TRIVIA.
Good luck I say to how this Non-Main Mario Kart game turns out. It would probably be like the Arcade Mario Kart games in a way, such as with a different style of cups. It could also have a currency to have you pay for stuff to put up, My Nintendo Points, a way to keep you playing the game for sometime, and new content coming through updates in coming months like with Nintendo’s Other Mobile Games. Hopefully it will release before the end of 2018.
@CuriousUserX90 I recently sent a letter to the LA Convention Centre and Nokia Theatre for Nintendo to see. This is what I had to say in the letter to be received in June:
“Hi Nintendo of America and Nintendo in General
Mainly I’m directing this message to Reggie, Bill, Kit, Krysta, Mr. Kimishima and Mr. Konno. I’m one of your fans. I’m not exactly a Game Critic myself, but I someday hope to be, not to mention the fact that I hope to attend E3 myself some year. Basically I directed this letter to the Los Angeles Convention Centre for you to receive when you go there for E3 this year, and hope that you’ll have read it before you shoot your E3 Presentation in how ever you’ll do it this year, which I yet again don’t think will be a Press Conference, of which I’ll have probably figured by the tone you receive this message.
Thought I’d talk with you about your E3 Presentation for a bit, somewhere in it, please do simply announce the fact that a New Mario Kart game is in development for the Nintendo Switch, like you did with Metroid Prime 4 last year, that is if the time is right. Sooner you do announce the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, sooner we can be assured that the Switch Port of Mario Kart 8 does not apply to your tradition with the Mario Kart Franchise of being one new game per system due to being a port of a Previous game with the same 32 Tracks and not a newgame, and that it’s meaning of Existence is the Same as the Other Switch Ports of Wii U games. Mario Kart has been the Most Popular of all Mario Spinoffs, and we’ve been lucky to see a new game of it on each and every Nintendo System, with new features that continue to amaze us. I’m sure that Mr. Konno’s goal has been to release a NEW Mario Kart game on each and every Nintendo System anyway, but it’s unknown right now if these consistent gaps between the release of game game are merely a coincidence or intentional. Speaking of, at last year I sent letters out to 4 Game Developers at the Nintendo Headquarters in Kyoto, Japan, one of them being for Mr. Konno, which I hope has been received. This is what I said to him in the letter in Japanese:
“ 紺野秀樹
マリオカートフランチャイズについて聞いてみたいことがあります。ご存知のように、任天堂システムごとに新しいマリオカートのゲームが1つあります。あなたの目標はそれぞれのゲームをリリースすることでしたが、各ゲームの一貫したギャップ彼らはポートであるか、公式ゲームであることを意図しているかどうか、またはそれらが偶然であるかどうか）。誰もが疑問に思っていたのは、マリオカート8のポートをWii Uからスイッチにリリースしたにもかかわらず、最終的に16の新しいニトロとレトロトラックで新しいオフィシャルゲームを期待するべきなのです。私が言ったように、あなたの目標は、すべての任天堂システムで新しいマリオカートゲーム（すべてのマリオスピノフの人気）をリリースすることだったと確信しています。 Mario Kart 8 DeluxeはWii Uが他のWii Uゲームと同様の理由で来ていたため、Mario Kart 8の単なるポートに過ぎません。それがポートであるためシステムごとに1つのゲームを行うという伝統に適用されます。 Nintendoはコンソールハンドヘルドのハイブリッドなので、任天堂は結局のところ、次の4,5,6年に焦点を当てるシステムを1つしか持っていない。
マリオカート8デラックスあなたが知っているように、私たちはWii Uゲームで愛していたマリオカートのテレビ機能を削除しました。新しいトラックはなく、ロックを解除する必要はありません。加えて、マリオ以外のキャラクターとのニンテンドーオールスターズレーシングゲームのように見えます。もちろん、Koopa Jr.、Teresa、Karonの方にはあなたのことがうれしいですが、過去にDiddy Kongのようにレースを楽しんでいた親しみやすいマリオキャラクターが欠けています。とにかくWii Uのゲームでレーストラックに乗っていた理由は、バトルアリーナをバトルモードに戻すことができて良かったですか？マリオカート8が批判を受けたことのいくつかは、バトルモードでのバトルアリーナの欠如と、親しいマリオキャラクターの不足があります。全体的に私はあなたがMario Kart 8に1人のキャラクターを残してしまったと考えています、他のゲームのようにレーサーの偶数の合計とMiisの独自のスロットを与えないという事実を断念しました。コオパ・ジュニアは最近、マリオ・パーティー・ゲームへの参加、マリオRPGへの参加、さらにはスーパー・スマッシュ・ブラザーズでの戦闘になった彼自身のクーパ・クラウン・カーで、近年より多くの認知を得始めていましたが、彼のために私たちはKoopalingsと共にマリオカート8に含まれていないであろう。
フランチャイズについてお聞きしたいことがいくつかあります。各ゲームのキャラクターをどうやって決めますか？誰もが驚いていたことの一つは、メタルマリオとピンクゴールドピーチをどうやって思いついたのですか？ナヴィットのような親しみやすいマリオキャラクターたちが最終的にフランチャイズに登場することをいつも期待していますか？あなたがMario Kart DSで始まる各マリオカートゲームのレトロトラックをどうやって決めるのですか？私はMario Kart 7で、N64のトラックはすべて同じカップ（Kinoko Cup）のもので、Waluigiはゲームに参加していないにもかかわらず、DS Waluigi Pinballを特集していました。もちろんゲーム後のゲームでは、Mario Kart 8でどれくらいの細かいディテールを入れているかなど、私たちを驚かせることができます。私たちがレトロトラックとして見たいと思っていることを私たちの言葉で聞いたのかどうかは分かりませんが、多くのファンはまだキノコシティとトッドファクトリーのように戻ってくる特定のものを見ることがなくなっています。以前のマリオカートからすべての曲を使い切ったら、どうしたらいいですか？
In regards to the Next Official Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Switch, good luck with however it turns out such as with the Retro Track choices, and hopefully Good Character choices. I also say good luck to however your E3 Presentation is this year, hopefully you’ll announce the Development of the Next Official Mario Kart game for the Switch in it. These Switch Ports of Wii U games I’m sure are not at all interfering with eventual new games, a Bayonetta 2 port isn’t stopping an Eventual Bayonetta 3, and you released both a Hyrule Warriors Port and a Fire Emblem Warriors. We fans have been lucky to see NEW Mario Kart games on each and every Nintendo System that continue to amaze us with what’s been come up with in them. Hope you see this letter before E3 starts/before you arrive in Los Angeles and record your presentation, I sent it from my part of the world on February 10th 2018.
One last thing, you might also want to pass this onto Hideki Konno, the creator of the Mario Kart Franchise, it would certainly if he himself saw what I have to say in this letter as well.”
If during whatever sort of Presentation they do this year they can announce that a NEW Mario Kart game is in development for the Switch, I’ll finally be after getting my hands on a Switch myself sometime after E3.
@CuriousUserX90 Maybe I’ll send a letter to the LA Convention Centre for Nintendo to receive at E3 for them to announce a New Mario Kart game is in development for the Switch during their presentation, that is if the timing is right, if they do I’ll finally get my hands on a Switch myself. Assuring that the MK8 Port does not apply to the Mario Kart Tradition of Each System for being a Port not a Main Game would be appreciated, with it’s existence being for the same reason as other ports of Wii U Games. I might also state what I said in the letter I sent to Hideki Konno about the Mario Kart Franchise, pretty sure his goal anyway has been to release to release a NEW Mario Kart game on each and every Nintendo System anyway.
Meanwhile I’m still awaiting the announcement of what every Nintendo Gaming System has had before I get my hands on a Switch myself, the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, of which would include stuff seen in Super Mario Odyssey.
@CuriousUserX90 They could also talk about that Potentially Leaked Sonic Heroes HD, and maybe even give us more details about that Sonic Movie coming next year.
Would really make my day if Sega announced the Next Mario & Sonic game at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics. Taken forever it has for them to announce that game, of which I did know would come after the Olympics themselves for a first.
@YANDMAN What you just said is making me more Moodier. To further prove that I won't be getting my hands on a Switch myself until the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks is announced to be coming, I will not be setting foot into any Gaming Stores (where you purchase these games from) till then either, it'll make me even more moodier. I'd rather be popping in to see what Every Nintendo System has/is expected to have then to race on the Same 32 Tracks that I raced on the Wii U.
@CuriousUserX90 Sorry to have to say this, but the more I’ve seen of/hear of the Mario Kart 8 Port that looks more like a Nintendo All Stars Racing Game, has Nothing to Unlock, has No New Tracks, and takes away the Great Mario Kart TV aspect, the more moody I get. Sooner it’s assured that it won’t be stopping the Switch from having a NEW Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, it’ll really make my day, and I’d be less moody. Plus it would be a Mario Kart game with Super Mario Odyssey aspects included, and hopefully it’ll have a satisfying roster with a Good Amount of Familiar Mario Characters like Diddy Kong and Nabbit.
@CuriousUserX90 Are any Game Critics like IGN, Nintendo Life, Gameinforner and Polygon seeing my emails for them to ask the Developers these things about the Switch: Ditching Miiverse, Not releasing at the end of the Year like Every Other Gaming System, Porting Wii U Games, Using Cartridges. Finding out information about stuff we’re keen to know about from the Developers themselves is their job I’m pretty sure.
And as stated before, I will not be getting hold of a Switch myself until the Next Official Mario Kart game for it with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks is announced to be coming it’s way. Something we’ve been lucky to see on each and every Nintendo System that continues to amaze us.
The Switch completely lacks what we loved about the Wii U that changed our lives: An easy way of finding people, a place to share our gaming experiences, a Place to ask for help, a place for Game Developers to know us better, a place to talk directly to our friends, the Wii U had itself great achievements that’ve been taken away from us that have to come back to the Switch someday.
@electrolite77 Of course not everyone had a Wii U, but not everyone had a Wii either and so fourth, and they didn't port Mario Kart Wii. Sorry to have to say this, but the more talk there is of this Mario Kart 8 Port, the more I get moody, I'd be less moody once we're assured that it's not stopping the Switch from eventually having a New Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks of what we've been glad to've seen on each and every Nintendo System. It would also be a Mario Kart game to have stuff from Super Mario Odyssey, like Mario Kart: Double Dash was the Gamecube's Official Mario Kart game that had stuff from Super Mario Sunshine.
Geez, Gameinformer ask about thoughts on making Breath of the Wild, but they don’t ask about why the Switch would ditch Miiverse of which changed our lives on the Wii U. Like with Nintendo Life, Polygon, Eurogamer, what I think is Famitsu and IGN Members, I’ve emailed them to ask these Developers about the Switch, including the reason behind the poor decision to ditch Miiverse/what we loved about the Wii U, but so far there’s been nothing of that. This is the Gameinforner person I’ve emailed in regards to these emails of mine: [email protected]
These critics have spoken with Game Developers before, collecting info about these games is their job, especially with stuff we’d been dying to know of and know more about.
Man, more talk about this Mario Kart 8 Port that god knows why exists? Sooner they announce that it’s not at all discouraging a New Official Mario Kart game for the System with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks the sooner I’ll have a Switch myself, of which it would REALLY make my day. I’m as pleased as anyone to see NEW Mario Kart games that continue to amaze us on each and Every Nintendo System, this NEW Mario Kart game for the Switch Probably will even be one to have aspects from Super Mario Odyssey.
Miitomo was great using, had good friends, we were able to know each other better with it, a fine creation of Nintendo's it had been, though there had been some flaws such as with how Frustrating it can be with going what you're after in Miitomo Drop. Hope someday that Miitomo can have itself a successor. Sure Mobile games have a closing point and come to a stage of being unusable, but it's nice that some can have Successors at some point. Surely Nintendo wouldn't do only one Mobile Game per franchise with how they take care of Mobile Games.
Sooner they announce the Next Official Mario Kart game for the Switch with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks sooner I'll have a Switch myself, Realmente me alegraría el día once what we see on each and every Nintendo System is announced with hopefully a good roster of Familiar Mario Characters.
Here's a game they've ported twice. Luckily it's not stopped the Switch from also having that treatment with Fire Emblem Characters and Maybe also Xenoblade Characters. As for Donkey Kong, sure hope a game with the Kremlings again will arrive sometime in the Switch's time. These ports like of Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2 can't interfere with the system eventually having new games at all, especially with Mario Kart, the most popular of all Mario Spinoffs that we've been lucky to see a New Game of on each and every Nintendo System, and I won't be getting a Switch myself until a NEW Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks for it is announced, of which would also include features from a Mainstream Mario game released on the System, Super Mario Odyssey.
Good Presentation, though the first one of the year that they'd do like only 2 or 3 times a year nowadays was only 15 minutes. They didn't even announce Mario & Sonic at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, and the games themselves are next month. Sure it would not have released before the game's themself take place, but it wouldn't been nice if they announced it beforehand.
@CuriousUserX90 I meanwhile haven’t one myself yet. You want a hint of when I will, once what there is on every gaming system is announced for it, of which is in this image: http://www.hubmario.com/files/image/super-mario-racing.gif
Man there’s a lot of talk going on around about the Switch’s sales. It launched not at the end of the year like other gaming systems and it’s missing some stuff that changed our lives on the Wii U.
This year seems like a good year for a New 2D Mario Game. Bout time it is that Mario started travelling between the Background and Foreground, start using Super Feathers again, and start stomping Rexes again.
Would be great if we saw a Smash Bros. game with Inklings and a Grass Starter Pokemon and Breath of the Wild Link (he’d be his own character without the sword) as Fighters. If Existing Fighters were to get updated movesets, updated appearances, or even new palette swaps (for example Outfits from SMO and Ash-Greninja), that would more so probably be saved for a New Game in the Franchise. Yep, I believe in a Future for Nintendo Characters like Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu coming together.
@CuriousUserX90 Here are great times I had with Miiverse:
*Uploading My Racing Efforts from all 32 MK8 Tracks: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr0bYgTdU2rdaH98QNPiUVAiD7Lrr7xmB
*The Great Super Mario Maker Levels that I’m proud to’ve made: https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/profile/CuriousUser?type=posted (There’s now no point in playing them without them being given Feedback and having Guidance to those that play it)
*The Friends I made through Miiverse, who I don’t want to never see again.
*It was a way to make Games more Anticipated.
*When I played Pokémon AlphaSapphire, I did a log on Miiverse of the Pokémon I caught.
*Earthbound never would’ve come to Wii U VC in the West if not for Miiverse: https://youtu.be/VvlB1uE5-ZQ
*Art Academy never would’ve existed if not for Miiverse, Iwata stated that it was inspired by our Great Drawings: https://youtu.be/RVDalTWfVmY
*Sure Miiverse did have it’s flaws like the Terrible Update in 2015 that drive many away from it, and the lack of updates we ourselves ask upon, but it was a great moment of our lives with the Wii U.
Miiverse really needs to come back with a Counterpart to the Switch sometime. It was great to share our gaming experiences with these games, ask for help when needed, and meet other gamers from around the world. It changed our lives with games being more fun to play. It was also a place for the developers to know us fans better and vice versa. Ditching Miiverse on the Switch was a terrible decision, and no Game Critic has even asked why they’d do such a thing. Beyond his grave Iwata would be so ashamed of his still living colleagues for this poor decision. No Miiverse Successor for the Switch means no Super Mario Maker Successor for it either, as it had been a game pretty much integrated with Miiverse. Sometime this year I think will be the time that the 3DS and Wii U lose their WiFi features, which is no biggie unlike Miiverse, as later systems still have it.
Here’s a little something for Kimishima to here of. I will not be getting a Switch myself till the Next Official Mario Kart game for it with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks is announced to be coming to it, something we’ve been lucky to have on each and every Nintendo System.
What be nice if soon we’d have A New 3D Donkey King game sometime in the next few years. This year would be a good time for A New 2D Mario game, Mario Party 10 Deluxe, and Mario & Sonic at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. But still, no Switch for me till this is announced to be coming for it, something that each and every Nintendo System has it some point: http://www.pupugames.com/content/icons/super-mario-racing-icon-1.jpg
@CuriousUserX90 I did try contacting those who have spoken with Game Developers in the past (Polygon, IGN, Gameinformer, Nintendo Life, those sorts of people) about future updates, but nothing. Same said for when I tried asking them to ask about a reason why particular objects had not been included in the game, as well as for some explanation for some updates which did not have new content. In addition to why they did a Pointless 3DS Port one year later which does not really have anything new to it, only losses. You know, like how they asked about the origin of the Amiibo Costumes: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/11/super_mario_maker_developers_share_details_on_how_costumes_and_cursor_variations_came_about
Nice to see Aonuma actually confirm that would be the last update. Last year they never actually stated of there being only 3 Updates of Additional Content in SMM, which resulted in a long time of waiting throughout the year for more new content to arrive, since they never said the Update in March would be the last one, but nothing came. Easier it is to explain which update would be the last for these games, like with Smash 4 and Splatoon.
For now, the Switch is a pass for me. Currently released games I would be interesting in buying are Sonic Mania and Super Mario Odyssey, but that won't happen until they announce the next offical Mario Kart game for it, as stated before. sigh Why did they have to port MK8 anyway, sure it brings back the Battle Arenas and has some Additional Characters, but it has no New Tracks, there's nothing in it to Unlock making us not so challenged, it continues to lack some Familiar Mario Characters, it takes away the great Mario Kart TV feature, and it looks more like a Nintendo All Stars Racing game with the Addition of Non-Mario Characters. The goal for Hideki Konno I guarantee has been to release one NEW Mario Kart per system anyway, ports would not apply, how luck we are to be playing the new game of the Most Popular Mario Spinoff on each and every system which continues to amaze us.
Could this be a Successor to Breath of the Wild I wonder, or could it be in the same timeline as another Zelda Game (we can expect lots for the Switch in the coming years anyway as Nintendo's only focusing on that, a Console-Handheld Hybrid.
When will someone whose spoken with Game Developers in the past ask these stuff about the Switch that everyone's been wondering about the Switch? Not releasing at the end of the year like every other gaming system had done, using Cartridges which I thought like VHS Tapes are obsolete (they are a counterpart to the DVD's predecessor after all), ditching Miiverse which really changed our lives on the Wii U, and releasing ports of Wii U Games. As long as there's new games eventually, notably with Mario Kart which has 1 new game per each and every system, the most popular of all Mario Spinoffs that continues to impress us as the Franchise goes on. Right now I haven't a Switch myself, and won't have one till the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks are announced, never forget that everyone. Thank Goodness ports of Yoshi's Woolly World and Bayonetta 2 aren't discouraging eventual new games for the Switch.
@NinNin Good to know. Hideki Konno's goal has been to release 1 new Mario Kart game for each and every system anyway (provided it's one with enough buttons to press, hence why those with only an A, B, Start and Select Buttons were left out). But it's unknown right now if the 3 year gaps between each game port or not have merely been a coincidence or not. I look forward to seeing what the future these Mario Kart games as usual will have to offer, Retro Tracks and such were a great addition after all. It won't hurt at all to see more than one Mario Kart game on a system (for Switch it would be one Port of a Previous Game, one new of which would be a MAIN OFFICIAL GAME), there could even be a future Gaming System releasing both a Main Mario Kart game and a Mario Kart game that features the Top 100 Tracks from throughout the franchise.
@Grumblevolcano Yep, I'd rather race a new game carrying the tradition of one new Mario Kart game per system than the same 32 tracks I raced in the Wii U Version. Besides, these Ports of Wii U Games don't get DLC (even if a game is due for DLC, the first batch would always arrive within the first 6 months of it's release).
@Grumblevolcano They release only one new Bayoentta game per system, just like they release one NEW Mario Kart game per system, Ports do not apply to that. Gladly we are to see a new game of the most popular of all Mario Spinoffs on each and every platform. And to repeat what I said of which I also told Nintendo Life members in Emails, I'm not getting a Switch myself till the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks for it is announced, never forget that.
Eureka, a Bayonetta 2 Port isn't stopping an eventual Bayonetta 3 from coming to the Switch. Therefore a Mario Kart 8 Port should not discourage an eventual new offical Mario Kart agme with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, the tradition has been 1 new game per system, of the most popular of all Mario Spinoffs. As stated before I won't be getting a Switch myself till Mario Kart 9 is announced to be coming for it.
And here is more evidence suggesting the likeliness of the Switch eventually having a New Mario Kart game with the Mario Kart 8 Port (if you saw a MK8 Track in a Retro Grand Prix, expect a U in front of it for having come from a Wii U Game, U Sunshine Airport for example): https://youtu.be/ILHZogCQE7o
Port or not, Mario Kart games don't even release more than 3 years apart, and Nintendo has only one system to be focussing on for the next 4 or 5 or 6 years, with the Switch being a Console/Handheld Hybrid. And by 2020 we should know of a Future Mario Kart game by then with the addition of a Mario Kart Attraction at the Upcoming Super Nintendo World attraction, of which there's no way it would include anything with no future to it.
Right now I haven't a Switch myself and won't have one till a NEW Mario Kart game for it is announced with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, of which could also feature some stuff we saw in Super Mario Odyssey. The tradition has been 1 new game per system of the Most Popular of all Mario Spinoffs, Ports I guarantee do not at all apply to this (I mean if a MK8 Track were to be in a Retro Grand Prix, it would probably have a U in front, U Sunshine Airport for example, for MK8 having been a Wii U game). Let's keep in mind Nintendo have only one System to focus on for the next 4 or 5 or 6 years, and Mario Kart games on Gaming Systems port or not don't release more than 3 years apart. There's certainly ways things could improve in Mario Kart 9 later on the Switch such as having a good amount of Familiar Mario Characters, one thing MK8 and it's port have been criticised about for not having.
These should be asked about the Switch sometime. Using Cartridges like in the 20th Century, Ports of already existing Wii U Games, ditching Miiverse (of which the Switch really could use sometime in the next 2 years), not releasing at the END of the year like every other Gaming System. I mean gaming system's are supposed to have a Life Span of atleast 5 years before discontinuing.

Re: Nintendo's Ultimate Ambition Is For Switch "To Be Owned By Every Single Person"
And Nintendo, for the love of god, ditching Miiverse was a terrible decision on the Switch. Are you forgetting about how it changed our lives on the Wii U with meeting gamers around the world, a place to ask for help, a place to share our playtime with games, a place for you to know us and vice versa. It even intergrated into the Awesome Wii U games quite well. The Switch needs a place like that, not to mention an easier way of finding friends by sending out a request to them with an accept option, and a play to talk directly to your friends mouth to mouth.
Oh Game Critics, When is one of you going to ask these Developers about the Poor Decision about ditching Miiverse? That’s your job to collect Information about these games. Don’t you want people to see what your Miis look like? Don’t you agree that a SMM like Game would be pointless on the Switch, as Miiverse is what got SMM running on the Wii U.
Re: Nintendo's Ultimate Ambition Is For Switch "To Be Owned By Every Single Person"
Sorry to ruin your Ambition Nintendo, but I’m not getting my hands on a Switch myself until you announce the Next Official Mario Kart game for it with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks for it is announced, not to mention one with unlockable content and features from a Mainstream Mario Game released for the city (which would include Super Mario Odyssey, like MKDD had Features from Super Mario Sunshine), a new game of the Most Popular Mario Spinoff that you release on each and every Nintendo System that continues to amaze us.
Re: Miyamoto Explains Why Illumination Was Chosen For The Upcoming Mario Movie
Speaking of it’s release, no way would this film release in 2020: https://t.co/3X4Puy6KzW

Re: Miyamoto Explains Why Illumination Was Chosen For The Upcoming Mario Movie
@AJWolfTill Celebrated Talents will likely be the choice, they don’t use the Seattle Boice Actors for Movies that much. As stated above, I can’t imagine Mario & Luigi being voiced by separate people, plus they wouldn’t be the same without Charles Martinet.
Re: Miyamoto Explains Why Illumination Was Chosen For The Upcoming Mario Movie
Alas, this film could forgo Mario’s iconic Characteristics from each game, such as with his iconic phrases, not talking with Full Extensive Dialogue, and being voiced by Charles Martinet, the only man to’ve ever voiced the 4 Italian Plumbers and their Baby Counterparts since 1996, I can’t imagine Mario & Luigi being voiced by separate people.
Re: Nintendo Believes That The Switch Could Sell Beyond The Usual 5-6 Year Console Life Cycle
See, 5-6 years is supposed to be a Video Game Console's Life Span as stated in this News Feed, the Wii U went discontinued at the wrong time, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash should not exist because every Gaming System with a Mario Tennis game is supposed to have a Mario Golf game as well and vice versa. None of this would've ever happened with the Life Changing Wii U if the Switch released at the same time as every other gaming system twards Christmas, that's one of the points about the Switch I've kept asking People who've spoken with Game Developers in the past to ask about it. That's their job collecting information about Games and Gaming Platforms, which leads to something that can get posted onto the internet called TRIVIA.
Re: Put Your Wallet Away, Mario Kart Tour Will Be "Free To Start"
Good luck I say to how this Non-Main Mario Kart game turns out. It would probably be like the Arcade Mario Kart games in a way, such as with a different style of cups. It could also have a currency to have you pay for stuff to put up, My Nintendo Points, a way to keep you playing the game for sometime, and new content coming through updates in coming months like with Nintendo’s Other Mobile Games. Hopefully it will release before the end of 2018.
Re: Switch Now Has Three Times As Many Games as Wii U Did At This Point In Its Lifecycle
@CuriousUserX90 I recently sent a letter to the LA Convention Centre and Nokia Theatre for Nintendo to see. This is what I had to say in the letter to be received in June:
“Hi Nintendo of America and Nintendo in General
Mainly I’m directing this message to Reggie, Bill, Kit, Krysta, Mr. Kimishima and Mr. Konno. I’m one of your fans. I’m not exactly a Game Critic myself, but I someday hope to be, not to mention the fact that I hope to attend E3 myself some year. Basically I directed this letter to the Los Angeles Convention Centre for you to receive when you go there for E3 this year, and hope that you’ll have read it before you shoot your E3 Presentation in how ever you’ll do it this year, which I yet again don’t think will be a Press Conference, of which I’ll have probably figured by the tone you receive this message.
Thought I’d talk with you about your E3 Presentation for a bit, somewhere in it, please do simply announce the fact that a New Mario Kart game is in development for the Nintendo Switch, like you did with Metroid Prime 4 last year, that is if the time is right. Sooner you do announce the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, sooner we can be assured that the Switch Port of Mario Kart 8 does not apply to your tradition with the Mario Kart Franchise of being one new game per system due to being a port of a Previous game with the same 32 Tracks and not a newgame, and that it’s meaning of Existence is the Same as the Other Switch Ports of Wii U games. Mario Kart has been the Most Popular of all Mario Spinoffs, and we’ve been lucky to see a new game of it on each and every Nintendo System, with new features that continue to amaze us. I’m sure that Mr. Konno’s goal has been to release a NEW Mario Kart game on each and every Nintendo System anyway, but it’s unknown right now if these consistent gaps between the release of game game are merely a coincidence or intentional. Speaking of, at last year I sent letters out to 4 Game Developers at the Nintendo Headquarters in Kyoto, Japan, one of them being for Mr. Konno, which I hope has been received. This is what I said to him in the letter in Japanese:
“
紺野秀樹
マリオカートフランチャイズについて聞いてみたいことがあります。ご存知のように、任天堂システムごとに新しいマリオカートのゲームが1つあります。あなたの目標はそれぞれのゲームをリリースすることでしたが、各ゲームの一貫したギャップ彼らはポートであるか、公式ゲームであることを意図しているかどうか、またはそれらが偶然であるかどうか）。誰もが疑問に思っていたのは、マリオカート8のポートをWii Uからスイッチにリリースしたにもかかわらず、最終的に16の新しいニトロとレトロトラックで新しいオフィシャルゲームを期待するべきなのです。私が言ったように、あなたの目標は、すべての任天堂システムで新しいマリオカートゲーム（すべてのマリオスピノフの人気）をリリースすることだったと確信しています。 Mario Kart 8 DeluxeはWii Uが他のWii Uゲームと同様の理由で来ていたため、Mario Kart 8の単なるポートに過ぎません。それがポートであるためシステムごとに1つのゲームを行うという伝統に適用されます。 Nintendoはコンソールハンドヘルドのハイブリッドなので、任天堂は結局のところ、次の4,5,6年に焦点を当てるシステムを1つしか持っていない。
マリオカート8デラックスあなたが知っているように、私たちはWii Uゲームで愛していたマリオカートのテレビ機能を削除しました。新しいトラックはなく、ロックを解除する必要はありません。加えて、マリオ以外のキャラクターとのニンテンドーオールスターズレーシングゲームのように見えます。もちろん、Koopa Jr.、Teresa、Karonの方にはあなたのことがうれしいですが、過去にDiddy Kongのようにレースを楽しんでいた親しみやすいマリオキャラクターが欠けています。とにかくWii Uのゲームでレーストラックに乗っていた理由は、バトルアリーナをバトルモードに戻すことができて良かったですか？マリオカート8が批判を受けたことのいくつかは、バトルモードでのバトルアリーナの欠如と、親しいマリオキャラクターの不足があります。全体的に私はあなたがMario Kart 8に1人のキャラクターを残してしまったと考えています、他のゲームのようにレーサーの偶数の合計とMiisの独自のスロットを与えないという事実を断念しました。コオパ・ジュニアは最近、マリオ・パーティー・ゲームへの参加、マリオRPGへの参加、さらにはスーパー・スマッシュ・ブラザーズでの戦闘になった彼自身のクーパ・クラウン・カーで、近年より多くの認知を得始めていましたが、彼のために私たちはKoopalingsと共にマリオカート8に含まれていないであろう。
フランチャイズについてお聞きしたいことがいくつかあります。各ゲームのキャラクターをどうやって決めますか？誰もが驚いていたことの一つは、メタルマリオとピンクゴールドピーチをどうやって思いついたのですか？ナヴィットのような親しみやすいマリオキャラクターたちが最終的にフランチャイズに登場することをいつも期待していますか？あなたがMario Kart DSで始まる各マリオカートゲームのレトロトラックをどうやって決めるのですか？私はMario Kart 7で、N64のトラックはすべて同じカップ（Kinoko Cup）のもので、Waluigiはゲームに参加していないにもかかわらず、DS Waluigi Pinballを特集していました。もちろんゲーム後のゲームでは、Mario Kart 8でどれくらいの細かいディテールを入れているかなど、私たちを驚かせることができます。私たちがレトロトラックとして見たいと思っていることを私たちの言葉で聞いたのかどうかは分かりませんが、多くのファンはまだキノコシティとトッドファクトリーのように戻ってくる特定のものを見ることがなくなっています。以前のマリオカートからすべての曲を使い切ったら、どうしたらいいですか？
ここに私たちが疑問に思っているものがあります。最終的にミッションモードとダブルダッシュモードを復活させ、各レーサー独特のアイテムをフランチャイズにもたらします。これはデビューゲームでのみ使用されています。
とにかく、フランチャイズとの良い仕事を続けて、各分割払いで私たちを驚かせ続ける。うまくいけば、私があなたにここに述べたようなものについての詳細を与えることができます。また、スーパーマリオオデッセイで見られるようないくつかの面とともに、16台の新しいニトロとレトロトラックを備えた新しいマリオカートのゲームが最終的に完成するかどうかを確かめることもできます。私の意見では、あなたは最終的にシステムの新しいマリオカートゲームをリリースし、マリオカート8デラックスのような詩はあなたのルーチンには適用されないことを願っています。ヘック、将来のシステムは、トップ100トラックの編集かもしれない公式のマリオカートゲームとマリオカートを持っているかもしれません。前にも述べたように、マリオカートのフランチャイズはマリオスピノフスの中で最も人気がありました。そして、私たちはニンテンドーゲームの新しいゲームを見て嬉しく思います。自分自身も含めて、あなたが私たちを驚かせ続けることを願っています。フランチャイズの今後の分割払いで、今後数年間で1つの最後のこと、1年私は自分自身がゲーム評論家になることを願っています。私は現時点ではそうではありません。そうすれば、ゲームにもっと近づき、もっとよく知ることができます。
“
In regards to the Next Official Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Switch, good luck with however it turns out such as with the Retro Track choices, and hopefully Good Character choices. I also say good luck to however your E3 Presentation is this year, hopefully you’ll announce the Development of the Next Official Mario Kart game for the Switch in it. These Switch Ports of Wii U games I’m sure are not at all interfering with eventual new games, a Bayonetta 2 port isn’t stopping an Eventual Bayonetta 3, and you released both a Hyrule Warriors Port and a Fire Emblem Warriors. We fans have been lucky to see NEW Mario Kart games on each and every Nintendo System that continue to amaze us with what’s been come up with in them. Hope you see this letter before E3 starts/before you arrive in Los Angeles and record your presentation, I sent it from my part of the world on February 10th 2018.
One last thing, you might also want to pass this onto Hideki Konno, the creator of the Mario Kart Franchise, it would certainly if he himself saw what I have to say in this letter as well.”
If during whatever sort of Presentation they do this year they can announce that a NEW Mario Kart game is in development for the Switch, I’ll finally be after getting my hands on a Switch myself sometime after E3.
Re: Sega Is Getting Ready To Show Us What's Next For Sonic The Hedgehog
@Matthew010 Thought the event would be last week, my bad.
Re: Switch Now Has Three Times As Many Games as Wii U Did At This Point In Its Lifecycle
@CuriousUserX90 Maybe I’ll send a letter to the LA Convention Centre for Nintendo to receive at E3 for them to announce a New Mario Kart game is in development for the Switch during their presentation, that is if the timing is right, if they do I’ll finally get my hands on a Switch myself. Assuring that the MK8 Port does not apply to the Mario Kart Tradition of Each System for being a Port not a Main Game would be appreciated, with it’s existence being for the same reason as other ports of Wii U Games. I might also state what I said in the letter I sent to Hideki Konno about the Mario Kart Franchise, pretty sure his goal anyway has been to release to release a NEW Mario Kart game on each and every Nintendo System anyway.
Re: Switch Now Has Three Times As Many Games as Wii U Did At This Point In Its Lifecycle
Meanwhile I’m still awaiting the announcement of what every Nintendo Gaming System has had before I get my hands on a Switch myself, the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, of which would include stuff seen in Super Mario Odyssey.
Re: Sega Is Getting Ready To Show Us What's Next For Sonic The Hedgehog
@CuriousUserX90 They could also talk about that Potentially Leaked Sonic Heroes HD, and maybe even give us more details about that Sonic Movie coming next year.
Re: Sega Is Getting Ready To Show Us What's Next For Sonic The Hedgehog
Would really make my day if Sega announced the Next Mario & Sonic game at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics. Taken forever it has for them to announce that game, of which I did know would come after the Olympics themselves for a first.
Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning Third Quarter Financial Results, Confirms Switch Sales Have Overtaken Wii U
@YANDMAN What you just said is making me more Moodier. To further prove that I won't be getting my hands on a Switch myself until the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks is announced to be coming, I will not be setting foot into any Gaming Stores (where you purchase these games from) till then either, it'll make me even more moodier. I'd rather be popping in to see what Every Nintendo System has/is expected to have then to race on the Same 32 Tracks that I raced on the Wii U.
Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning Third Quarter Financial Results, Confirms Switch Sales Have Overtaken Wii U
@CuriousUserX90 Sorry to have to say this, but the more I’ve seen of/hear of the Mario Kart 8 Port that looks more like a Nintendo All Stars Racing Game, has Nothing to Unlock, has No New Tracks, and takes away the Great Mario Kart TV aspect, the more moody I get. Sooner it’s assured that it won’t be stopping the Switch from having a NEW Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, it’ll really make my day, and I’d be less moody. Plus it would be a Mario Kart game with Super Mario Odyssey aspects included, and hopefully it’ll have a satisfying roster with a Good Amount of Familiar Mario Characters like Diddy Kong and Nabbit.
Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning Third Quarter Financial Results, Confirms Switch Sales Have Overtaken Wii U
@CuriousUserX90 Are any Game Critics like IGN, Nintendo Life, Gameinforner and Polygon seeing my emails for them to ask the Developers these things about the Switch: Ditching Miiverse, Not releasing at the end of the Year like Every Other Gaming System, Porting Wii U Games, Using Cartridges. Finding out information about stuff we’re keen to know about from the Developers themselves is their job I’m pretty sure.
Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning Third Quarter Financial Results, Confirms Switch Sales Have Overtaken Wii U
And as stated before, I will not be getting hold of a Switch myself until the Next Official Mario Kart game for it with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks is announced to be coming it’s way. Something we’ve been lucky to see on each and every Nintendo System that continues to amaze us.
Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning Third Quarter Financial Results, Confirms Switch Sales Have Overtaken Wii U
The Switch completely lacks what we loved about the Wii U that changed our lives: An easy way of finding people, a place to share our gaming experiences, a Place to ask for help, a place for Game Developers to know us better, a place to talk directly to our friends, the Wii U had itself great achievements that’ve been taken away from us that have to come back to the Switch someday.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Breath Of The Wild And Pokémon Crystal Ride High In The UK Charts
@electrolite77 Of course not everyone had a Wii U, but not everyone had a Wii either and so fourth, and they didn't port Mario Kart Wii. Sorry to have to say this, but the more talk there is of this Mario Kart 8 Port, the more I get moody, I'd be less moody once we're assured that it's not stopping the Switch from eventually having a New Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks of what we've been glad to've seen on each and every Nintendo System. It would also be a Mario Kart game to have stuff from Super Mario Odyssey, like Mario Kart: Double Dash was the Gamecube's Official Mario Kart game that had stuff from Super Mario Sunshine.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Says Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Is "Maybe The Most Fun" He's Had Making Games
Geez, Gameinformer ask about thoughts on making Breath of the Wild, but they don’t ask about why the Switch would ditch Miiverse of which changed our lives on the Wii U. Like with Nintendo Life, Polygon, Eurogamer, what I think is Famitsu and IGN Members, I’ve emailed them to ask these Developers about the Switch, including the reason behind the poor decision to ditch Miiverse/what we loved about the Wii U, but so far there’s been nothing of that. This is the Gameinforner person I’ve emailed in regards to these emails of mine: [email protected]
These critics have spoken with Game Developers before, collecting info about these games is their job, especially with stuff we’d been dying to know of and know more about.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Breath Of The Wild And Pokémon Crystal Ride High In The UK Charts
Man, more talk about this Mario Kart 8 Port that god knows why exists? Sooner they announce that it’s not at all discouraging a New Official Mario Kart game for the System with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks the sooner I’ll have a Switch myself, of which it would REALLY make my day. I’m as pleased as anyone to see NEW Mario Kart games that continue to amaze us on each and Every Nintendo System, this NEW Mario Kart game for the Switch Probably will even be one to have aspects from Super Mario Odyssey.
Re: Soapbox: Miitomo's Days Are Numbered, But Its Death Was Written In The Stars From The Start
@CuriousUserX90 For the first time I'm getting a good amount of Signatures to one of my Petitions, thanks to the generous people I've known in Miitomo: https://www.change.org/p/nintendo-please-do-give-miitomo-a-successor-someday
Re: Soapbox: Miitomo's Days Are Numbered, But Its Death Was Written In The Stars From The Start
Miitomo was great using, had good friends, we were able to know each other better with it, a fine creation of Nintendo's it had been, though there had been some flaws such as with how Frustrating it can be with going what you're after in Miitomo Drop. Hope someday that Miitomo can have itself a successor. Sure Mobile games have a closing point and come to a stage of being unusable, but it's nice that some can have Successors at some point. Surely Nintendo wouldn't do only one Mobile Game per franchise with how they take care of Mobile Games.
Re: Olé! Sales Of Nintendo Switch In Spain Have Now Surpassed Xbox One
Sooner they announce the Next Official Mario Kart game for the Switch with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks sooner I'll have a Switch myself, Realmente me alegraría el día once what we see on each and every Nintendo System is announced with hopefully a good roster of Familiar Mario Characters.

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze And Hyrule Warriors Are Coming To Switch
Here's a game they've ported twice. Luckily it's not stopped the Switch from also having that treatment with Fire Emblem Characters and Maybe also Xenoblade Characters. As for Donkey Kong, sure hope a game with the Kremlings again will arrive sometime in the Switch's time. These ports like of Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2 can't interfere with the system eventually having new games at all, especially with Mario Kart, the most popular of all Mario Spinoffs that we've been lucky to see a New Game of on each and every Nintendo System, and I won't be getting a Switch myself until a NEW Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks for it is announced, of which would also include features from a Mainstream Mario game released on the System, Super Mario Odyssey.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini Is Happening Right Now
Good Presentation, though the first one of the year that they'd do like only 2 or 3 times a year nowadays was only 15 minutes. They didn't even announce Mario & Sonic at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, and the games themselves are next month. Sure it would not have released before the game's themself take place, but it wouldn't been nice if they announced it beforehand.

@CuriousUserX90 I meanwhile haven’t one myself yet. You want a hint of when I will, once what there is on every gaming system is announced for it, of which is in this image: http://www.hubmario.com/files/image/super-mario-racing.gif
Re: Nintendo Switch Is The Fastest Selling Console In US History With 4.8 Million Units Sold
Man there’s a lot of talk going on around about the Switch’s sales. It launched not at the end of the year like other gaming systems and it’s missing some stuff that changed our lives on the Wii U.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From The Inevitable January 2018 Nintendo Direct
This year seems like a good year for a New 2D Mario Game. Bout time it is that Mario started travelling between the Background and Foreground, start using Super Feathers again, and start stomping Rexes again.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From The Inevitable January 2018 Nintendo Direct
Would be great if we saw a Smash Bros. game with Inklings and a Grass Starter Pokemon and Breath of the Wild Link (he’d be his own character without the sword) as Fighters. If Existing Fighters were to get updated movesets, updated appearances, or even new palette swaps (for example Outfits from SMO and Ash-Greninja), that would more so probably be saved for a New Game in the Franchise. Yep, I believe in a Future for Nintendo Characters like Mario, Link, Kirby and Pikachu coming together.
Re: You Can Now Search Through a Complete Archive of Miiverse
@CuriousUserX90 Here are great times I had with Miiverse:
*Uploading My Racing Efforts from all 32 MK8 Tracks: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr0bYgTdU2rdaH98QNPiUVAiD7Lrr7xmB
*The Great Super Mario Maker Levels that I’m proud to’ve made: https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/profile/CuriousUser?type=posted (There’s now no point in playing them without them being given Feedback and having Guidance to those that play it)
*The Friends I made through Miiverse, who I don’t want to never see again.
*It was a way to make Games more Anticipated.
*When I played Pokémon AlphaSapphire, I did a log on Miiverse of the Pokémon I caught.
*Earthbound never would’ve come to Wii U VC in the West if not for Miiverse: https://youtu.be/VvlB1uE5-ZQ
*Art Academy never would’ve existed if not for Miiverse, Iwata stated that it was inspired by our Great Drawings: https://youtu.be/RVDalTWfVmY
*Sure Miiverse did have it’s flaws like the Terrible Update in 2015 that drive many away from it, and the lack of updates we ourselves ask upon, but it was a great moment of our lives with the Wii U.
Re: You Can Now Search Through a Complete Archive of Miiverse
Miiverse really needs to come back with a Counterpart to the Switch sometime. It was great to share our gaming experiences with these games, ask for help when needed, and meet other gamers from around the world. It changed our lives with games being more fun to play. It was also a place for the developers to know us fans better and vice versa. Ditching Miiverse on the Switch was a terrible decision, and no Game Critic has even asked why they’d do such a thing. Beyond his grave Iwata would be so ashamed of his still living colleagues for this poor decision. No Miiverse Successor for the Switch means no Super Mario Maker Successor for it either, as it had been a game pretty much integrated with Miiverse. Sometime this year I think will be the time that the 3DS and Wii U lose their WiFi features, which is no biggie unlike Miiverse, as later systems still have it.
Re: Nintendo President Aims for 20 Million Switch Units To Be Shipped Next Year
Here’s a little something for Kimishima to here of. I will not be getting a Switch myself till the Next Official Mario Kart game for it with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks is announced to be coming to it, something we’ve been lucky to have on each and every Nintendo System.
Re: Feature: What We Want From Nintendo In 2018
What be nice if soon we’d have A New 3D Donkey King game sometime in the next few years. This year would be a good time for A New 2D Mario game, Mario Party 10 Deluxe, and Mario & Sonic at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games. But still, no Switch for me till this is announced to be coming for it, something that each and every Nintendo System has it some point: http://www.pupugames.com/content/icons/super-mario-racing-icon-1.jpg
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Champions' Ballad DLC Marks The Conclusion Of The Game
@CuriousUserX90 I did try contacting those who have spoken with Game Developers in the past (Polygon, IGN, Gameinformer, Nintendo Life, those sorts of people) about future updates, but nothing. Same said for when I tried asking them to ask about a reason why particular objects had not been included in the game, as well as for some explanation for some updates which did not have new content. In addition to why they did a Pointless 3DS Port one year later which does not really have anything new to it, only losses. You know, like how they asked about the origin of the Amiibo Costumes: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/11/super_mario_maker_developers_share_details_on_how_costumes_and_cursor_variations_came_about
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Champions' Ballad DLC Marks The Conclusion Of The Game
Nice to see Aonuma actually confirm that would be the last update. Last year they never actually stated of there being only 3 Updates of Additional Content in SMM, which resulted in a long time of waiting throughout the year for more new content to arrive, since they never said the Update in March would be the last one, but nothing came. Easier it is to explain which update would be the last for these games, like with Smash 4 and Splatoon.
Re: Poll: Surprise! A New Zelda Is In Development, But What Do You Want From It?
@CuriousUserX90 Next in line could even be a HD Remake of Skyward Sword.
Re: Guide: The Best Nintendo Christmas Gifts For 2017 - US Edition
For now, the Switch is a pass for me. Currently released games I would be interesting in buying are Sonic Mania and Super Mario Odyssey, but that won't happen until they announce the next offical Mario Kart game for it, as stated before. sigh Why did they have to port MK8 anyway, sure it brings back the Battle Arenas and has some Additional Characters, but it has no New Tracks, there's nothing in it to Unlock making us not so challenged, it continues to lack some Familiar Mario Characters, it takes away the great Mario Kart TV feature, and it looks more like a Nintendo All Stars Racing game with the Addition of Non-Mario Characters. The goal for Hideki Konno I guarantee has been to release one NEW Mario Kart per system anyway, ports would not apply, how luck we are to be playing the new game of the Most Popular Mario Spinoff on each and every system which continues to amaze us.
Re: Poll: Surprise! A New Zelda Is In Development, But What Do You Want From It?
Could this be a Successor to Breath of the Wild I wonder, or could it be in the same timeline as another Zelda Game (we can expect lots for the Switch in the coming years anyway as Nintendo's only focusing on that, a Console-Handheld Hybrid.
Re: Nintendo Switch Reaches 10 Million Global Sales In Its First Nine Months
When will someone whose spoken with Game Developers in the past ask these stuff about the Switch that everyone's been wondering about the Switch? Not releasing at the end of the year like every other gaming system had done, using Cartridges which I thought like VHS Tapes are obsolete (they are a counterpart to the DVD's predecessor after all), ditching Miiverse which really changed our lives on the Wii U, and releasing ports of Wii U Games. As long as there's new games eventually, notably with Mario Kart which has 1 new game per each and every system, the most popular of all Mario Spinoffs that continues to impress us as the Franchise goes on. Right now I haven't a Switch myself, and won't have one till the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks are announced, never forget that everyone. Thank Goodness ports of Yoshi's Woolly World and Bayonetta 2 aren't discouraging eventual new games for the Switch.
Re: Bayonetta 1 And 2 Are Getting A Special Edition Bundle With All The Trimmings
@NinNin Good to know. Hideki Konno's goal has been to release 1 new Mario Kart game for each and every system anyway (provided it's one with enough buttons to press, hence why those with only an A, B, Start and Select Buttons were left out). But it's unknown right now if the 3 year gaps between each game port or not have merely been a coincidence or not. I look forward to seeing what the future these Mario Kart games as usual will have to offer, Retro Tracks and such were a great addition after all. It won't hurt at all to see more than one Mario Kart game on a system (for Switch it would be one Port of a Previous Game, one new of which would be a MAIN OFFICIAL GAME), there could even be a future Gaming System releasing both a Main Mario Kart game and a Mario Kart game that features the Top 100 Tracks from throughout the franchise.
Re: Bayonetta 1 And 2 Are Getting A Special Edition Bundle With All The Trimmings
@Grumblevolcano Yep, I'd rather race a new game carrying the tradition of one new Mario Kart game per system than the same 32 tracks I raced in the Wii U Version. Besides, these Ports of Wii U Games don't get DLC (even if a game is due for DLC, the first batch would always arrive within the first 6 months of it's release).
Re: Bayonetta 1 And 2 Are Getting A Special Edition Bundle With All The Trimmings
@Grumblevolcano They release only one new Bayoentta game per system, just like they release one NEW Mario Kart game per system, Ports do not apply to that. Gladly we are to see a new game of the most popular of all Mario Spinoffs on each and every platform. And to repeat what I said of which I also told Nintendo Life members in Emails, I'm not getting a Switch myself till the Next Official Mario Kart game with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks for it is announced, never forget that.
Re: Bayonetta 1 And 2 Are Getting A Special Edition Bundle With All The Trimmings
Eureka, a Bayonetta 2 Port isn't stopping an eventual Bayonetta 3 from coming to the Switch. Therefore a Mario Kart 8 Port should not discourage an eventual new offical Mario Kart agme with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, the tradition has been 1 new game per system, of the most popular of all Mario Spinoffs. As stated before I won't be getting a Switch myself till Mario Kart 9 is announced to be coming for it.
And here is more evidence suggesting the likeliness of the Switch eventually having a New Mario Kart game with the Mario Kart 8 Port (if you saw a MK8 Track in a Retro Grand Prix, expect a U in front of it for having come from a Wii U Game, U Sunshine Airport for example): https://youtu.be/ILHZogCQE7o
Port or not, Mario Kart games don't even release more than 3 years apart, and Nintendo has only one system to be focussing on for the next 4 or 5 or 6 years, with the Switch being a Console/Handheld Hybrid. And by 2020 we should know of a Future Mario Kart game by then with the addition of a Mario Kart Attraction at the Upcoming Super Nintendo World attraction, of which there's no way it would include anything with no future to it.
Re: Wii U's Failure Is Responsible For Switch's Success, Says Reggie
Right now I haven't a Switch myself and won't have one till a NEW Mario Kart game for it is announced with 16 NEW Nitro and Retro Tracks, of which could also feature some stuff we saw in Super Mario Odyssey. The tradition has been 1 new game per system of the Most Popular of all Mario Spinoffs, Ports I guarantee do not at all apply to this (I mean if a MK8 Track were to be in a Retro Grand Prix, it would probably have a U in front, U Sunshine Airport for example, for MK8 having been a Wii U game). Let's keep in mind Nintendo have only one System to focus on for the next 4 or 5 or 6 years, and Mario Kart games on Gaming Systems port or not don't release more than 3 years apart. There's certainly ways things could improve in Mario Kart 9 later on the Switch such as having a good amount of Familiar Mario Characters, one thing MK8 and it's port have been criticised about for not having.
Re: Wii U's Failure Is Responsible For Switch's Success, Says Reggie
These should be asked about the Switch sometime. Using Cartridges like in the 20th Century, Ports of already existing Wii U Games, ditching Miiverse (of which the Switch really could use sometime in the next 2 years), not releasing at the END of the year like every other Gaming System. I mean gaming system's are supposed to have a Life Span of atleast 5 years before discontinuing.
