@jojobar Overcooked 2, me thinks.

I just one thing. An English Yo-Kai Watch 4. (Though a Trilogy would be nice too)

@Deemo37 Long story short, people don't like the word "Latinx" yet we're forced to say it because it's "Representation"

@Uncle_Franklin You would be surprised of how much just the name is worth.

Very bad timing Nintendo life. I got what you're doing and I support the project, but you don't close down a comment section just because people are respectfully disagreeing with an article.

@Fangleman32 Hard agree. I don't care who makes what. A bad game is a bad game. No matter who makes it.

@nessisonett Also very much agree. But I want the experience speak for itself rather it be advertised as "Someone not White or Asian made this!"

So when's the Spiderman and Frozen crossover DLC?

I'm an Anglo-Caucasian and even I hate the word "Latinx". Who the hell made up that word? A 90's marketing team?

The first of many, I can only assume. No developers in the small to middle sized are going to start projects with Unity. I figure that most who do have a game in development are weighing the sunk-cost fallacy of either starting over with a different engine or canceling the projects if it isn't shipping by Q1 2024.

Lets be real here, given Level 5's record, we won't see these in the west until 2025 at the latest.

@Jeronan I think that Nintendo did the localization of YW1 (And possibly 2 & 3) meaning that Level 5 couldn't just copy paste it. The integration of toys not released in the US would be a factor as well. Finally, the port did so poorly (<50k units) that I'm surprised Level 5 hasn't written it off.

Now I'm wanting a port of NES Remix 1+2. Maybe even a SNES Remix or something?

I doubt Charles' voice is going away any time soon, as Nintendo is probably going to use the archive voice clips along side the new voice actors' to help ease the transition. At the very least, Charles' is still around to help whomever is filling in his (multiple) shoes with their voices. He's been Mario's voice actor for over 30 years now, it's time for someone else to don the mustache.

@MrCookieCrisps I think Nintendo were already making moves to slowly change Mario's (and Wario's) VA before they made the announcement.

I'm pretty sure that the Switch port is actually canceled because Sony helped invest into the game before the money was rolling in. I wouldn't be surprised if they got console exclusivity for Genshin in exchange for helping Mihoyo make a native PS5 version. I feel like Nintendo would've help Mihoyo with compression if they actually had/are making a Switch port.

Where's my Big Run? And what about my Side Order?!

@HammerGalladeBro Something, something, Steamed Hams.

@PipeGuy64Bit More like from 2013 to 2020. I do wonder what was going on in the background to make Pikmin 4 take so long to make. I do wonder if it was rebooted in development (if not multiple times), much like Prime 4. After all, before 2022, any time Pikmin 4 was brought up it was said that it was "Nearing completion" It could also be that Pikmin 3 Deluxe was made to tie up loose ends that the Wii U version brought up.

Come on Level-5. make it a worldwide anniversary!

@Tyranexx Yea, that's kind of a problem with Level 5 as a whole.

@silverdamascus That and also they don't need to run calculations every single time that you play to check how many times a single item has been traded.

@mystman12 I think that's the problem with his game. It wants to be Jackbox. It's trying to fill a niche that's already filled. I feel like Nintendo is only releasing this because of sink-cost fallacy

@samuelvictor I think this change started when they made Daisy her own character in Smash Ultimate rather than a costume for Peach.

@Fizza IIRC, it was on a screen that only played the song if you didn't have a memory card inserted.

This is even more baffling considering that Splatoon 3 ditched the whole gender thing as a whole. Thing is, a personal pet peeve of mine is that unless you look very closely, there's no visual difference between a Inkling Girl and an Inkling Boy. The only difference is whether they "Woomy!" or "Ngyesh!"

On the other hand, I can see why the LGBTQ+ community really likes Splatoon, it's real easy to be who you WISH you could be. Maybe the developers of Splatoon 3 took some notice from said community?

"Nintendo fans needn't lose sleep" The only type of people who are losing sleep over this are the developers of this game, wondering if they'll have a job in a year. I pity them that their talents are most likely being to be thrown away by executives who only bandwagon hop.

I do wonder what Nintendo is up to. Other than Pikmin 4 (and Everybody 1-2 Switch), there's nothing else releasing in the rest of 2023. Will Metroid Prime 4 finally have gameplay and a date? How about a Mario announcement to follow up the movie making major bank? Pokemon DLC? Splatoon 3 Side Order? Major games coming to NSO N64/GB/GBA? Yo-kai Watch 4? Nintendo's silence is very suspicious.

@ROOCIS Actually, I kind of does. The Wii encryption keys were found in the source code of the emulator. The thing is, no one has gone to court to argue if it's legal or not.

sad Yokai Watch 4 noises

The fact that the argument boils down to "Emulators are legal BUT...." says it all. The issue is that no one has the balls to actually go to court and try to defend their point. Need I remind you that ALL forms of modding is technically illegal since 1998? (Micro Star v. FormGen Inc)

@RupeeClock Yet FIFA is PEGI 3.

@mjharper The common F-Bomb or the British Tobacco one?

@Kehkou No. This is the second part of season 1. Netflix does this so they can split up the series over months, without needing to pay for an actual second season. They pull this on nearly every animated show that isn't anime or Big Mouth.

Second season? Oh! You mean "The second part of the 1st season"! Right, this is Netflix we're talking about.

And the Team Fortress 2 mercs just keep laughing.

@Fizza Let's just hope Sheldon was smart enough to put the trigger on the bottom instead of the top!

I agree so much. Nothing against the Switch, but it's not really suited for very short playtimes. Plus, it's not really a thing to put in your pockets, if you even can.

Also, maybe it could be possible to make some "New" games in the style of classic G&W titles? Like, imagine making a Pikmin G&W game. Pluck, pluck, throw, throw, carry, carry.

@Danrenfroe2016 Eh, it's actually going to be a step up, if you ask me.

@KingMike Yea, this reasoning makes sense. The Game.com was also still fresh in their minds as well. @CielloArc also makes a good point of it also being the peak of Tamagotchi as well, considering Nintendo was making Pocket Pikachu at the time.

@BrazillianCara I don't think she was blacklisted, more like they decided to have someone else as the voice that fit the character better. The Original voice of Male Byleth on the other hand, he's very much blacklisted by Nintendo.

Considering Lemmings is fully owned by Sony and haven't seen a console or computer release of it since the PS3 days, I'm surprised it took this long for people to take up the torch.

Reminder that Nintendo has never made an M rated game in house. Yes, they published quite a few, but all of those were made by second or third parties.

Reminder that the Pizza Tower developers have zero plans to port the game over to other platforms. They haven't added the Noise as a playable character yet.

@SuntannedDuck2 Actually, they did go after archive.org for hosting Nintendo Power issues. But that was a DMCA, not a lawsuit. Still though,

@HeadPirate Just out of curiosity, how many shares do you have in Nintendo? (Not mocking you or anything, legitimately curious)

@Dpullam Sure, it's not as big as it once was, but it still makes bank. Some reports say that this deal will pay for itself in as little as two years.

@TotalHenshin Considering Rovio turned down an offer worth $800 Million from another mobile developer, something tells me that Sega offered something much more than money for the deal. Semi-Independence like with other Sega of Europe studios?

@TheBigBlue Tell me you haven't watched Sonic 2, without saying you haven't watched it.

We already have a Sonic Toaster. This is just one step up from that.

That being said, I really hate when Nintendo gloats about winning lawsuits and take-downs like this. It feels like they think that everyone who pirates are the same, giving a bad taste to those who actually buy their games and long to play their vast backlog.

@Wheatly One of the problems I can think of is that many "first party" titles weren't made in house by Nintendo. Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Kirby, and many more were made outside of Kyoto.

Remember that not only will Sega own Angry Birds, but have over 500+ well trained developers and a massive boost to their revenue. They could easily make their money back in as little as two years. Also, this further boosts Sega of Europe's development power, as nearly all the companies SegaSammy has bought since the merger in 2004, have been for SoE. (Other than Atlus and TMS)

@DoctorRadish I mean, maybe Mario is a retro gamer. It's not out of the realm that he still has an NES hooked up for old times sake.
