I highly doubt this will ever happen but this isn't really a surprise they would want Nintendo, I'm pretty sure Sony would do the same thing if they had the opportunity.
With saying that though it's been clear for a long time now, Microsoft's strategy is to simply buy other gaming companies to compensate for their lack of originality.
Them buying Nintendo would be awful for the consumer and obviously I hate the thought of Nintendo ever being acquired by them.
Paper Mario is obviously the big one and for good reason. But besides that I'm honestly mostly excited for the new Princess Peach game which looks really fun to play (no pun intended).
As expected though big major announcements like the previous directs in terms of brand new games that aren't remasters and it makes sense since Nintendo is gearing up for their new console launch.
I know some people will be disappointed for this direct but if we review the entire year we got a new Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem and Pikmin game all in one year. That is as excellent a year you can get in terms of Nintendo first party support.
Thank goodness they are releasing this classic again. The only way to legally own it is to pay those ridiculous prices on eBay which some people are selling close to 200 bucks.
People who have never played it are in for a treat.
I still own the original versions along with my GameCube which is still hooked up to my TV via HDMI as I write this. So I'm probably going to pass for now until the eventual sale. Not having a Physical release in the West and no English Dub also disappointed me.
Plus Namco has had some mediocre ports recently with minimal effort like Tales of Symphonia which makes me pause before buying anything from them.
The anime art style is really giving me that old school 90's anime vibe which is great. Never heard of this until now but I'll keep it on my radar, looks pretty cool.
No offense to any Sonic fans but the series just isn't for me. I've tried getting into them whether it be classic or modern Sonic, none of the games have interested me unfortunately.
So for me I gotta go with Mario since I've always loved these games since I started gaming as a kid.
I'm going to pick this one up, I'm a sucker for JRPG type games and as a Canadian myself I like to support Canadian content as Sabotage is a Studio from Quebec for those who don't know.
Not to mention it looks great which is the biggest selling point for me.
I beat the game after 175 plus hours. Did all the main quest, got all the shrines, armour, and light roots. Did a good chunk of the side quests but my overall progress I'm guessing was maybe 70ish percent? Kinda hard to tell with a game this massive.
I got my money's worth from the game and loved it but won't be going back to it anytime soon.
Pokemon Shield was the nail in the coffin for me. I was very disappointed after playing it and it made me realize that the series just isn't for me anymore. Everything about Pokemon has gone stale for me, right down to the gameplay, story, graphics and lack of creativity.
Violet was the first Pokemon game where I had zero interest in buying it and honestly I don't regret my decision to skip it.
Metroid Prime 4 would make sense but who knows where the development of that game is at this point.
New Mario 3D game makes the most sense. I think we could also see dual releases like the new Peach game on Switch then launch for the new console. Maybe we'll see that rumoured remake of Fire Emblem 4 launch for the system too.
I'm all for it, I love the addition of Oatchi. Knowing Nintendo though they don't always add the same features from game to game. Remember Yoshi in Super Mario World? He's popular but how many mainline games does he actually show up in as a playable character? Yes he has his own series but in the mainline Super Mario games he's not always in all of the games where you can ride him to attack enemies.
Oatchi I can see him being in future games or maybe take a lesser role similar to Yoshi. But I'm hoping we see more of this little guy in the future .
I tend to consider both Oracle games as one big adventure but if I had to pick which one is better I'd agree Oracle of Ages is the better of the two. Looking forward to replaying both at some point.
Unlike most Zelda fans these were the first games in the series I ever played so I have a lot of nostalgia for the Oracle games and to me they're still one of my favourite games to play.
I haven't had much experience with Pikmin before besides Pikmin 2 and I'm loving 4 so far. It's just a fun game to play and something I needed after putting in so many hours into ToTK since it's a more chill game I find. Plus the doggo is cute. 9 out of 10 so far for me
Honestly first impressions of the dub it sounds good to me. A little nitpick is that Liko sounds a bit too old to be someone who's around 10-12 years old, she sounds more like someone who's in their late teens. But other than that it looks good.
Don't really care for Sonic but I've always liked Sega's catalogue of JRPGs. I would love to see Sega remake the Phantasy Star games since in my opinion those are long overdue or make one that's focused on a traditional single player experience. Same with Skies of Arcadia, some sort of HD remaster would be nice.
Then there's the Sakura Wars games which most of them still haven't got official Western releases and Valkyria Chronicles 3. There's lots of things they can remake or localize still.
Honestly it's hard for me to say but I'm giving the edge to the NES one for me personally. When I think of the original Mario Bros Trilogy I always think of the original 8 bit versions.
But I love the SNES versions as well. So really it's personal preference that I pick the NES versions even they technically are inferior but much more iconic.
Pretty cool to see the game finally release as it was intended. I still have my GBA so I think I might take the dive since you don't see these type of retro releases too often.
Never cared for COD after Modern Warfare 2 but guess that's a win for MS. With saying that I'm honestly not a fan of what Microsoft is doing and it's a bit worrisome.
They aren't able to create their own IPs to help sell their consoles. So to cover up for the lack of creativity they're buying other gaming companies like Bethesda and Activision to fill out their shallow pool of first party titles. Doesn't look like their done since we all know they have had interest in buying Sega in the past.
This really was an epic moment that I'm glad I didn't spoil for myself. It's epic and sad at the same time once you understand the context and how much pain and loneliness Zelda had to go through in order to even get Link the chance to have the Master Sword again.
I guess the only thing ruining the cutscene is the fact that the Sword needs to recharge all the time, you would think after thousands of years it would be unbreakable at this point lol
Wow I never knew GTA 5 sold that much but guess it makes sense since it's be released on almost every system imaginable.
Was never a hardcore fan of FF but always enjoyed the one's that I did play. 6 being the best one then followed by 7. I still need to playthrough the rest at some point.
It would be nice to see Capcom make a new Mega Man game whether it be classic, X or Battle Network whichever. The only other collections left to be made are Legends and Star Force.
The Collections are great and all but I'm interested in seeing what plan Capcom has for this franchise moving forward. I don't wanna be pessimistic but it doesn't seem like they're that interested in making a new entry anytime soon.
To look at things through a bigger picture since 2010 without including Legacy releases there's only been 3 new games made in that time span: Rockman XOver, Mega Man 11 and X Dive. 2 of which are mobile games.
The positive side is the Legacy Collections and that does prove Capcom hasn't entirely forgotten about their old mascot. Hopefully we'll get some new games moving forward.
This is a very deep year for a console this old. We got new releases of Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Metroid and Pikmin all in one year. It's impressive how many quality games continue to come out for it this late into it's lifespan.
Such a fun game, I remember they did a great job of marketing the game. It even had those great anime shorts with Palutena on the 3DS eshop and it Nintendo put a lot of focus on it.
Would love to see it with dual stick controls on the Switch but doesn't seem like anyone in Nintendo is interested in porting it based off Sakurai's comments.
Tears of the Kingdom. For me it's the safe pick but how can I not pick it? It's such a good game and in my opinion one of the best games in the Zelda franchise. Definitely the highlight for me this year.
Fire Emblem Engage would be number two, the story was cheesy in a good way and I loved the new abilities they included. Also as a longtime fan I loved the call backs to the older games, it was pure fanservice which was great.
Prime remastered is also great, they improved on a classic title and made it even better.
Lots of great titles so far this year on Switch and the 2nd half of the year we still got Pikmin 4, Mario RPG Remake and Mario Bros Wonder. It's a very strong year for the Switch.
Ya it's one of the main reasons why I haven't played any of the games either. I've always been interested in these but after reading online that various games are connected to each other and it requires hundreds of hours that's put me off from taking the dive.
I think the lower physical sales is probably due to the fact it's a PS5 exclusive for now while 15 was released on both Xbox and PS4 at the time and obviously the poor reception of 15 didn't help. The M rating I don't think has much of a effect on sales but seeing how FF generally has a wider appeal to people of all ages maybe that also effects it.
A bit off topic but among my gamer friend group no one is talking about it, for me at least there doesn't seem to be much hype for 16 in my social circle and everyone are gamers.
As for myself I'll probably buy it in the future when I get a PS5. Still haven't taken the plunge since I hate how the console looks and oversized the hardware is. Still waiting for a console revision from Sony and my PS4 backlog is never ending.
Plenty of Mario and honestly I love it. Basically every Mario announcement got me pretty excited lol
In terms of the year overall so far for Nintendo I would say it's looking great. We got a new Fire Emblem, Zelda, Pikmin and Mario game all in one year. Not to mention a Metroid Prime remaster as well.
A bit early to say this but If this is the last big year for the Switch then I'd say they finished it with a bang.
I've been itching to play a new 2D Mario game and this looks great. Looks like they finally moved away from the NSMB art style and this one just has a different feel to it which I like.
Also getting to play as Peach and Daisy is the right move.
Finally we can play these in HD. Glad these are going to be available now, buying the original versions of these games cost so much nowadays on the second hand market.
I'm guessing we'll see a new 2D Mario that isn't related to NSMB and as for that SNES remastered rumour could it be A Link to the Past? The Persona 3 Reload seems likely but knowing Atlus it's hard to predict what they do.
Still hoping TP and WW get released on the Switch and possibly a Fire Emblem 4 remake announcement.
@GameOtaku It's honestly disappointing that Atlus doesn't want to include the female protagonist in this remake. It's not a deal breaker but if they were going to remake it from the ground up they might as well include the option. More options to the player is always a good thing.
Yes I know it requires more resources to include all the social links etc but come on we all know Atlus could include all of this if they wanted but chose not to.
Ya I do remember they added that into Xenoblade 2 which was pretty cool. Too bad Pyra never got that updated design. The cosmetic changes in my opinion just looks better than the default outfits we see in the game.
On a side note I forgot that Nintendo had to redesign Pyra and Mythra for Smash bros to keep the E rating. But looking at these amiibos the designs look even better than the original.
Highly doubt P3 remake is coming to Switch. I don't think the game would be impossible to run on the system like some people think but at this point it would make sense to wait until Nintendo announces the Switches successor in the upcoming year.
But Atlus makes weird decisions all the time like waiting to release P5 years after Jokers Smash hype died down so who knows if it ever will be on a Nintendo system.
The P5 spin off I can see being on the Switch but at this point I'm ready for Atlus to move on from the world of P5.
It really is personal preference. I can see where people can get overwhelmed with the array of options the game gives you but the best part? It's all optional. I much prefer ToTK, it just feels more like a complete game and improves on every aspect.
But like with every Zelda everyone has one they like more than the other and that's the beauty of this series.
@Ryu_Niiyama Honestly I'm still surprised Sailor Moon hasn't had a new game in ages. It was huge and people still love it. You would think with the anime being remade they would have had some sort of video game to go along with it but nothing since the early 2000's.
If I remember right Namco has the video game rights to it. There's a lot of potential they could do with it and yet the IP is sitting there collecting dust.
Not gonna lie I'm a sucker when it comes to the old school dungeons but I love the new dungeons so far in ToTK. They're much more interesting and some of the puzzles I thought were much more creative than BoTW's divine beasts. With an open world game like this it would be impossible to implement the traditional dungeon format. I'm all for the modern way going forward.
I don't the old style dungeons are dead though. At some point we're going to get remakes of older Zelda games and possibly even brand new 2D titles that would most likely go the old school route.

Not gonna lie I'm a sucker when it comes to the old school dungeons but I love the new dungeons so far in ToTK. They're much more interesting and some of the puzzles I thought were much more creative than BoTW's divine beasts. With an open world game like this it would be impossible to implement the traditional dungeon format. I'm all for the modern way going forward.
I don't the old style dungeons are dead though. At some point we're going to get remakes of older Zelda games and possibly even brand new 2D titles that would most likely go the old school route.
