I hope they make a new kirby game soon, I’d love to see a 3D one or at least something to break the mold. Or Air ride 2...

Another one bites the dust

I would guess that eventually the all stars collection games will go on sale individually. Or maybe the triumphant return of Nintendo Selects in a year or so, after the Zelda anniversary. There are so many great Gamecube games they could bring over. Luigi’s Mansion, F-Zero, Mario Strikers, chibi robo, paper mario. double dash, a good mario party game... these games are 20 years old now just bring them over! And yes I know this won’t happen haha!

We’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t we?

Hold up, where’s mario kart super circuit? I haven’t played it in years so maybe I just remember loving it, but kind of surprised it didn’t make the list. I can’t complain though since the GBA library was really great!

Spring is in the air and it’s time for Pikmin!

In the traditional sense, not really. But I would say most Zelda games have RPG elements.

It really depends on what an RPG is to YOU. To some that means xp, leveling up... to others it just means an adventure where you can choose to make different decisions. Wheel of Fortune on the Nintendo Wii allows you to choose an outfit, customize your mii, unlock new stages and costumes, you can choose how your “character” answers the puzzles. It technically has RPG elements. Does that make it an RPG? Sure why not. If you want to call it that, technically your not wrong. Technically...

I can’t wait to celebrate Mario’s 36th anniversary...

On a serious note, I actually want to see some gamecube ports or remasters. The gamecube is 20 years old and there are still many exclusive games that can only be played on it. It won’t happen, but it would be awesome if it did!

I hope I can finally get that Mace Windu Spirit

I found that the sonic movie fell into that weird void, where it was not "bad" enough to make fun of, but also not "good" enough to make me want to watch it again. At the end of the day, it's geared towards kids, so it doesn't really matter what I think!

He’s finally back to kick some tail?

So much missed potential for Nintendo based controllers. I’d love to see some new pro controllers. Zelda, Metroid, Kirby... why limit it to Smash and Xenoblade? Both of which are hard to find nowadays...

I recently went back to play Mario 64 and for the first time ever I got all 120 stars, I have to say that the camera is awful, the controls are not great, the graphics are outdated, some levels are brutal... but I absolutely love this game. It still a blast to run through these levels grabbing stars, triple jumping, wall kicking and long jumping everywhere. Once you adjust to the “outdated” stuff, this game is still an absolute gem and fun to play even today.

What’s next the Wii Shop Channel?
Wait a second...

I’m actually surprised the Wii U eshop is still active, I suspect that’s not far behind.

I hope BOTW 2 allows you to swim underwater and explore the depths of the sea. That would be cool.

Obviously original games are better and more interesting. At the same time, ports make these games more accessible. I think back to the GBA era, I got to play Donkey Kong Country, Mario bros 2 and 3... tons of NES and SNES game that I would not have gotten to play.

Ports depend on perspective. Not everyone had a gamecube, or Wii or Wii U. There’s a whole new audience for games like skyward sword, some of the kids who buy that game might not have been born when it came out! Also the switch got many older Nintendo fans, who could have skipped other consoles, back into gaming. Balance and moderation in everything, ports and new games are both good!

Great article, it’s nice to read a positive take on it!

I’ve always thought the reason for a hard stop of Mario’s 35th was probably to make way for Zelda’s. Although I would love it if they celebrated the 20th anniversary of Pikmin, Luigi’s Mansion, and Paper Mario. Pikmin 1 and 2 in Pikmin 3’s engine? Yes please.

Happy Mar10 day! Personally I’d love to see a new Mario Kart game return to Double Dash. At the very least have it as an option. The switch is begging for that mode with the joycons. It’s crazy to me that Nintendo has not gone back to that yet.

Would folders and themes be nice? Yes.
Would they enhance the experience significantly? I don’t think so.
Will I keep asking myself questions and answering them? Yes.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a steal at this price.

Super Mario Party was a very vanilla experience. Back on the GameCube ones, they incorporated lots of characters and boards from other games. Why not incorporate boards based on Mario Odyssey? The characters from those different kingdoms have had no appearances outside of of Odyssey itself. The Piantas from Sunshine were in everything at the time (double dash, tennis, paper mario ttyd...) It’s a shame to waste them. Give us a Luigi’s Mansion Board with different floors, or a Bowsers fury board with all sorts of chaos happening, or a mario maker board or a galaxy board. There’s so much potential for a Mario Party game right now.

If they end up porting Wind Waker, do you think they’ll market it as “the game that introduced the koroks you loved finding in Breath of the Wild”?

To me, the main advantage of Skyward Sword compared to BOTW is the probably dungeon design and music. That’s what I would use to sell people on it.

I’ve seen a picture of the Switch Pro, it was kind of blurry, but I could just make out Bigfoot playing Metroid Prime 4 in 8k.

Jokes aside, I think Nintendo has positioned themselves for a 2022 Switch Pro release if we get one. Splatoon 3, new Pokémon game and probably BOTW 2. You never know with Nintendo though.

How about a Games Show about upcoming Game Show games. They can call it the Game Show Games Show. Where all the games shown are about game shows. Hosted by Bob Barker.

I don’t necessarily mind sword fighters, although I would love to see the next fighters be from another genre (other than rpg) and visually more unique.

I’m going to make an optimistic prediction and say that Mario 35 will return in some form. This might have been acting like a beta or demo version to gage interest. Maybe it comes back with more games like Mario 3 or World. Or even Zelda?

How about Pac-Man World 2 HD + Blinky’s Fury?
