@BlueOcean
That's correct but I mean before covid, it's like they have developed very few games, Animal Crossing and what else? Luigi's Mansion 3 was developed by Next Level before being acquired. What have Nintendo been doing?

From what I heard that some of the dev teams usually responsible for creating new entries helped out other studios here and there., like Retro Studios did.

Also I can see Nintendo trying to come up with something and ultimately cancelling stuff similar to the MP4 situation where MP4 switched hands from Bandai Namco to Retro Studios.

@BlueOcean All cool, just wanted to set the record straight and why Samus Returns was a bit met with a harsh opposition.

@BlueOcean Your assesment is a bit incorrect. Metroid 5 is a sequel to Metroid Fusion for GBA. Mercury Steam worked on a Metroid 2 remake, that was hated because AM2R, a fan remake of Metroid 2, that was shut down by Nintendo was more faithful to a 2D sprite Metroid than a 2.5D than was done by Nintendo itself.

Metroid 5 won't bring any of that emotional baggage, as this did not surplant a fan project (on an active Nintendo IP), that never had a chance to exist.

@Slowdive I dunno, for me there was just one genuine pleasant surprise, which was Metroid Dread.
I am not caring for BotW or the other Zelda adjacent IPs. I wished that Mario Party Allstarts would have been a DLC to Super Mario Party instead.

The lack of F-Zero with each direct will always sting...

As someone that loves the Metroid franchise I am so happy thr mainline Metroid Story gets advanced with Dread.

As someone who also loves F-Zero it was a slap in the face that Nintendo is parroting the "something new" mantra while just offering a remake of Advance Wars 1+2 (and throwing Captqin Falcon into a volcano )

I hope if someone gets to interview a decider of Nintendo and they bring out the "something new" excuse, please direct to Adcance Wars. Thank you .

I am sad. First they say they won't touch the F-Zero io, because they can't offer something new and now they do remakes and remasters. See Advance Wars doe instance...

@TryToBeHopeful Objection! 😏

F-Zerooooooooooooo.... oh

@RupeeClock Not that you alluded to that, but given the technological advances Stadium is obsolete, especially with Sword & Shield entry and further ones offering that sweet 3d battle on the big screen.

Now if the Switch follow up will be a stationary home console again and they will offer dedicated handhelds, one could see another Stadium entry. But than again the connectivity and everything is online anyways, it will be unlikely.

Now if Nintendo would take a leaf from that and offer more dormant ops (like F-Zero) to other parties. Heck, Sega made F-Zero GX happen.

Meanwhile, F-Zero lies dormant, waiting for its 'grand idea' while this rehash of a Wii U game exists.

Well, there is now hope for La Pucelle Tactics. It might not be an outstanding title, but a title I remember having passed the chance on playing and dwelled on it...

No F-Zero let's me already feel underwhelmed...

I would not mind another F-Zero, even if they would scale it down to SNES ambitions. With a reduced car and track pool and offer it via the eshop as a budget title...

I've downloaded and played FAST RMX, but to me it's not the same without the associating ip.

@gcunit You know that some titles start production (and know of consoles (or their prototypes)) years or months before .

And this only got leaked thanks to My Uncle that works at Nintendo. Thank you, My Uncle xD

F-Zeeeerooooo... breaks down and cries... Though with Pokémon getting a new version for Snap anything is possible... I even take a remaster of the best F-Zero there is, F-Zero GX!

I can echo the comment section and also agree that I am not excited about the PS5 / XboX as I was when I put in the first Playstation CD, after gaming on SNES.

I always enjoyed the gimmicks Nintendo had to offer and more often than not enjoyed things they brought to the table. Even the WiiU.

With now having upgraded my PC again, and the current console architecture actually being those of a PC, I hardly see the point other than platform exclusives and ease of running games (no spec comparison, you know it just works). So far, I enjoy the Switxh more, as I am sometimes on the go, sometimes I want to play in bed a bit longer and play a session, and when I get into the big TV mood, I can go there, too.

Soon to be announced:

Animal Crossings: Newer Horizons Ultimate: Everyone is here. /s

Well, now they just have to provide stock for people to get their hands on it :7

I think Nintendo holds on to the rights of Astral Chain, it's a "grown up" IP, Nintendo can offer to have a catalogue that will appeal to all ages. While Mario & Zelda are more transcendent in terms of age, Astral Chain, much like Metroid Prime feel a bit more mature and can cater to an audience that is - for the lack of a better word - a bit more edgier (and while this word has some negative conotation, I mean it in a more neutral way, think more The Conduit and Red Steel offerings for Wii).

@fafonio At least they returned the IP and not hogging in it, letting it be dormant with Platinum not able to touch it. This Kickstarter would not be possible if Nintendo kept the IP, nd given the still good working relationship, Nintnedo might be returning to the Wonderful 101 world. Though my first guess is finishing up Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain 2.

While nor backed yet, I think I ultimately will pull the trigger as their are no risks involved porting. Heck I even guess with the timeframe they are likely just optimizing things.

For those fretting about extra add ins, I guess these will happen as added DLC, so there won't be any risk in pulling the trigger for the base game.

@NintoRich And it seems all of them before they released the NES, and they ventured into the electeonic entertainment business for good.

@Heavyarms55 As reported it was on sale, also probably word of mouth as it is generally touted as a great title...

That's still 5 / 10 of Nintendo Switch games in there with 4 / 10 created and published by Nintendo. That's a heck!

@OorWullie ... and so the wait begins....

I am curious if Nintendo will have a direct soon, now that Pokemon finally launched. Apart from Animal Crossing and the Tokyo Mirage Session: FE there seems to be no real killer app on the horizon apart from titles announced with a TBA and even those are limited in numbers.

Nintendo is probably still presenting the now strong and existing library to potential new buyers, but I am certain they want to keep the existing players engaged with strong titles.

@PBandSmelly @fafonio I have seen them regularly appear on myvspirit board.

I need the tertiminos to appear, because this is the event I unfortunately missed .

@SpiderSquid That is incorrect. Downloading and playing the demo sufficed as well. Source: me

I think this is the right decision. Not only did he openly cheat, if no repercussions would follow, this would invite his fan base to cheat or create a two class system, where people famous enough would be spared from the banhammer.

Something the uploader should have thought about way before.

Hard Pass for this one . Whoever will have fun, go for it.

I liked the game and playing it really gave me joy. I will get this game in an instant. Rarely replay games, but hey, this one seems up my alley. Loved the mechanics and the characters.

That's right, you can either spend £39 on what is essentially 20 loot boxes and a digital monkey, or one of the best video games to have released in recent years. Tough call, right?

Nope.

I think bad reviews are deserved as EA is basically selling a roster update for the price of a full game

And I acquired them

So, will she also be introduced in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

Wait, is the game being removed from the eShop, or is it just a name to say, there won't be further updates coming?

So, I was holding out on Xenoblade Chronicles 2, since I had never had the opportunity to play part 1... well...

@Xaessya Its a different reason to ask for a port or to actively review bomb.

I would still love to see a port for Prsona 5 and ask for it (why asking is belittled as begging is beyond me), but certainly I have (disappointingly) accept that its not coming.

Gotta be honest. I wish I could play DMC V on Switch, so I get the sentiment on getting Astral Chain on any other console. But with me not getting my wish, since this is not how the world works, the other people need to mature up a bit and either get a Switch, or skip that title.

Was not somebody clamoring for a fighters pass reduction? Wishes has been fullfilled!

So what will be the sneak announcement this time? It seems to be a Nintendo tradition at this point!

And that is why I don't trust sites like metacritc or also make my purchase based on a single review. Usually I have two to three sites and take the median from there

Dragon Quest XI + Luigi's Mansion 3 for me

Pre-Ordered; Unfortunately won't have it until tomorrow.

I am honest, I lost track which version of which game contains which campaign... :s

Gonna be honest, I am not missing EA, thevlqst title I enjoyed was Dead Space 2 and did not bother with part 3, once they shoehorned multiplayer and microtransactions into the series...

@Joeynator3000 I read that rather as a "You want to release a game with loot boxes on our console, better disclose that..."

Call me jaded, but I think the disclosure won't be featured predominantly and rather will be a minuscule text or hidden in a one time prompt upon the first purchase or so. This is the industry trying to advert regulation by law and keep the party going...
