Re: Mailbox: Switch 2 Innovations, Localisation Dreams, "That Big Playtest Thing" - Nintendo Life Letters

In regards to @JaxonH and their star letter. Nintendo always seems to push their gimmick HARD during launch to help sell the console, then they pull back on them once they have a solid install base. Doubly so for failed gimmicks. Even successful ones like motion controls on the Wii and the touch screen on the DS weren't as shoehorned in later on in the systems life. I'm sure the mouse control will be pushed hard at the beginning but we'll see less of it as we go on.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed

Anyone who has read Reggie's autobiography might remember how he had to fight to have Wii Sports packed in with the Wii, and how Miyamoto said "We do not give away our software."

It really feels like that mentality has won out even when it's clear that it shouldn't. 1,2,Switch should have been a Switch pack in and this should be a Switch 2 pack in.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?

The fact that we have two directs a week apart with April Fool's Day in the middle is hilarious to me.

Obviously Nintendo could Shadow drop anything tomorrow, but I imagine we might see the zelda ports finally. I wouldn't mind Metroid 2 and 3 remaster but I'm not holding my breath.

As for third party games? FF Tactics and Chrono Trigger remakes are always a favorite of mine, as well as something really off the wall like a Skies of Arcadia Remake.

Oh, and Silksong.

Re: Mailbox: Switch 2 Pre-Order Preoccupation, Iterative Crimes - Nintendo Life Letters

I think Megaman is a game that lends itself to iterative sequels. The gameplay is usually shaken up by new weapons, platforming challenges, and bosses. A new Assassin's Creed is going to have you fighting nameless guards using mostly the same equipment, with very little challenge in the climbing and exploration mechanics. It's not about changing what works, it's about re-inventing it so that's it's interesting again.
