First of all, why you assume that Super Mario Party would get DLC? they never promised it or mentioned it. When was the last time a Mario Party game had DLC?
You are making dumb theories about things that were never promised. It's your problem. Not Nintendo's.
More a reimagination than a sequel. You can see how Miyamoto was pissed off that the "dirty peaseants" prefered classic 2D Mario than his 3D experiments and made this "sequel" more linear and 2D than its predecessor.
Of course it sold even less than Galaxy and didn't even reach the heights of NSMB. xD
WHY ON EARTH WOULD NINTENDO DO GAMES FOR PC OR OTHER CONSOLES?! THAT'S JUST STUPID.
You want Nintendo games? GET A FREAKING NINTENDO CONSOLE!
Don't come saying that you like their games but want them some other place. If Nintendo consoles are so beneath you because you don't dare to get "inferior" hardware..then you don't like Nintendo games.
Their software works because they have their own hardware. If they become third party they will become as generic as bland as sega, EA, Activision and countless other Souless third parties.
Mobile is a different issue because they are not making full games for them. And even so, their are doing much better with their consoles and games than on mobile.
But no, they keep spouting the same nonsense of wanting Nintendo games on other consoles.
@JimmySpades Not everybody needs or wants another console. Just like many PSers or Xboxers don't want Nintendo, there are Nintendo fans that don't care about them either.
Bottomline: There's no reason for this game not be given free to Switch owners.
Why comparing Nintendo with STREAMING SERVICES?! Doesn't make any sense.
They also mention that Nintendo hasn't grown as much as EA or Activision....is like comparing Apple to Watermelons. Nintendo makes Hardware/Software. Ea and Activision doesn't for starters. Also Nintendo has improving in the last years. Didn't they check on that?
All it tells me is that these investors are just investing on Nintendo because of its recently momentum thanks to the Codvid pandemic making everybody staying at home. But they cannot even understand that. The comparisons they make are BS and like a way to explain their investment without knowing why.
Anyway, good for Nintendo. But I hope, really HOPE, that they don't listen to them.
You guys know that, since Iwatta passed away, he is not in charge of Game developing anymore, right?
His position of "Creative Fellow" is just a symbolic position. He just advises and gives his point of view.
He is a venerable member of Nintendo. But in the last 10 years his way of working has become a hidrance and his arrogance started to show.
For example, not making a 2D Mario game, one of Nintendo IPs that sell hardware and is loved by gamers of all ages, just because HE DOESN'T LIKE TO MAKE THEM, is a show of arrogance.
Puting a moron that doesn't like nor understand nor cares about Zelda just because "he made dolls in college" is pure arrogance.
Making a mediocre Star Fox game with terrible controls just to prove that he was right about the Gamepad (proving that he wasn't in the way) and blaming the gamers for not liking is arrogance.
And by the way, saying customers didn't get it when one of his projects failed (Pikmin for example) is pure arrogance.
If anything, he should have retired a long time ago and let younger developers do their job. He is and always be respected but treating him like a God is not constructive in any way.
So yeah...Nintendo will be very fine without him. Maybe even better.
I understand remaking 2 and 3. Their engines and controls became a barrier for new gamers and they needed to be updated.
But 4? That game still holds up very well even after almost 20 years. Of course that they are doing it because of the success of 2 and 3 but still...is a useless idea.
@premko1 That's stupid. Mario Maker is a construction/platfromer game, not a proper 2D Mario. It will never replace it.
You "fans" should know already that 2D Marios are the heart of the company. It's the one that mainstream audiences know and like. 3D Marios are only for fans and Miyamoto's ego.
This isn't the first time they have reported rumors like this. However I am all for remasters of the classic 2D Marios, even more than the 3D ones.
But it seems very unlikey. Too much work for a single year. Galaxy is already on Nvidia Shield so maybe they would port that one (or not) and 3DWorld is much easier.
Oooh I forgot about Zangeki no regibwhatever. It looked kinda fun. Would be cool to have Fatal Frame 4 some day.
Marvelous is a tedious bore. But what else can I expect from Mr. Eiji "I hate action in games so I'll keep cutting grass and making awful NPCs" Aounuma.
I was never interested in Animal Crossing until I got it from the old Club Nintendo rewards and I fell in love with it. I have been enjoying Pocket Camp and I can't wait for New Horizons!
@CairiB It's a much more downsizing version of the formula but is still very fun. It's a nice way to make the wait for New Horizons tolerable Besides is free so what do you have to lose for?
@PikPi Except that there were many other games on the Game Cube that sold a lot and even moved hardware. Pikmin has never moved hardware and even the Wii re-releases had modest sales.
The truth is, Pikmin is not a mainstream game that sells hardware which is the type of game Nintendo gives priority. Pikmin is only for N64Kids and nothing else. It's a niche game.
I think there will be a 4th part soon but it will take some time.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Suffering From Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fatigue?
Like every AC, I started playing hours a day. Now I just jump in, do some chores to save money, and that's it. And that's fine.
This is a game to play a few minutes a day. Not marathoning like an RPG.

Re: The Top Ten Best-Selling Games For Wii U, 3DS, Wii And DS (As Of March 2020)
This proves that 2D Mario sells Hardware even more than 3D Mario.
And yet Nintendo doesn't care.
And no, Super Mario Maker is not a proper 2D Mario. It's a building game. A toy.
Knock it off.
Re: The Top Ten Best-Selling Games For Wii U, 3DS, Wii And DS (As Of March 2020)

It sold 3 million copies on Game Cube
It barely sold 2 million copies on Wii U
Wind waker only sells to Nintendo fanboys
Face the facts, dude.
