I'd be pretty surprised if we see a Mario and Sonic announcement. The Paris games are next month. We've seen Nintendo announce and release games within a close window like that, but those are Sega published, and we usually know about them far in advance. Most of the time they're released the year before.

I just don't think it's happening this year.

Probably a contractual obligation from the Lego company to put it on at least Switch, similar to MLB mandating The Show becoming multiplatform.

@The_Dragons_Mouth You can get them on Switch right now. The catch is they're Japan only, so they may as well be unavailable unless you're proficient in the language. No idea what the holdup is for an English release, the localisations already exist.

Totally never could have seen this coming.

Realistically speaking who else could've possibly picked up the licence?

Nasty? MK1 isn't any worse on Switch than 11 is. Considering it's more technically ambitious than 11, it's more impressive. Not fair to judge the game purely on day one troubles that were fixed quickly.

@Itachi2099 @tdub154420 seconded

@Thomystic MK1 had issues at launch (publisher deadline), but was patched up quickly. It's no worse than MK11 which people said was a good port.

@PikaPhantom Shiver probably has contracts for games on other platforms and Nintendo is just letting them finish their work. After they fulfil the contracts I wouldn't expect them to be developing games on non-Nintendo platforms.

@Warioware I'm getting the impression that we won't be seeing the re-releases going forward. Look at P3 Reload, they're doing an expansion pass when people were expecting them to have a re-release for the Answer. Yes, Vengeance is coming after that game, but it's a multiplatform release of an exclusive game, so I think it works as an exception. Tying up a loose end.

@Lizuka Vanilla P5 is a different experience from Royal. Vengeance has the original SMTV in it.

Anyone remember the ads in Burnout Paradise?

@Ade117 I'd bet Nintendo don't care about surpassing the PS2, and the same for Sony being surpassed by Nintendo.

@westman98 I'd wager the decision was made to shut down Tango before the PS5 port even came out.

I don't really understand what difference it would make on Switch sales. It's already official that new hardware is coming. Sales will already be affected by people choosing to wait.

By the end of the fiscal year, but they won't be showing it in June. So it'll be coming out around March 2025. That delay rumour seems to be accurate then?

@GrailUK He can't give out enough seats to a larger follower base I think.

Deja vu, I swear I heard about this a few years ago.

This is a much more realistic thing than what some people were going off about on the pyoro tweet

The cartridge has 4 switches on it, must be about Switch 2!

Uh... sure, man...

Been a long journey for this game. Taking them a while to fulfill every stretch goal, but at least they aren't giving up on it.

@RareFan There's enough depth in Knuckles to theoretically carry a mini series, but CGI creatures are more expensive to animate than a guy.
