I think it’s healthier to expect less. Not getting my hopes too high. My guess is the handheld resolution will be 576p like we saw in FFXII or 540p as we saw in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. A bit blurry but still playable.
The first Rabbids game was lengthy enough, quite lengthy. The increased file size doesn’t necessarily mean the second game is larger. It could indicate that less compression has been used. Because the visuals seem to be better, this could possibly be achieved by constantly streaming in uncompressed asset’s in real-time. This technique has been used since at least the PS2 to get around the constraints of low system memory.
This is revisionist history. I was 17 years old when this game came out. I remember all the interviews I read at the time stating the cell shading was Miyamoto’s style and decision. That he was very disappointed at the initial reception. That he was very proud of the fluid cartoon like animation and the very expressive facial animation. He was very happy with Wind Waker.
I expect Nintendo to announce the closure of Retro Studios, without any mention of Metroid, Starfox, or F-Zero; allowing those franchises to remain forgotten. I’m serious. Retro hasn’t done anything in over 7 years. They are not the same studio from the year 2002. StarFox’s on-rails gameplay is not in-fashion and needs major reinventing. F-Zero while beloved has been replaced by MarioKart.
Only 13 million WiiU’s sold. Those saying they don’t want either game for Switch because they got them on WiiU, you are like a few grains of sand in an ocean of gamers who do own Switch but have not played either of these Zelda’s, not once, or not in 20 and 16 years.
The iPhone has mostly retained the same look for 15 years. Apple customers understand that the new iPhone is better. Nintendo needs to market very cleverly in a similar way. It honestly I don’t think Nintendo can help themselves, they’ll probably have zero backwards compatibly and the new system will look way different. If that is so, the Switch may be my last system from them. I already skipped the Wii/WiiU days, but kept up with handhelds because the DS line was similar enough and had backwards compatibility. Just do not game enough anymore to subscribe to gimmicks for the sake of being different. People understand the iPhone and they understand that a PC can look the same but have newer faster hardware inside.

Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime Remaster Apparently Lined Up For November, Prime 2 And 3 To Follow
It’s not going to happen because Metroid is an obscure franchise that has not seen much success, even with Dread in the last 20 years.

Re: Poll: Which New Pokémon From The Scarlet & Violet Trailer Is Your Favourite?
Not a single one nor the legendaries look good. Sorry if my opinion hurts you. These are all low effort by artistic and Pokémon gen 1 standards.
Re: Review: Wonder Boy Collection - Four Well-Presented Wonders In A Stingy Standard Package
So this is not available anywhere else? Then why report on it. Limited run and the like are a scam in my eyes.

If only adults with kids would stop buying low effort Pokémon for their children.

I don’t understand why Retro puts out so few games.
