Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?

Res462

I think it’s possible we will get a S2 shadow drop of Hades 2, although it could easily show up in a similar fashion during a full Direct next month (if there is one).

I’d like to see updates to existing indies that would benefit from the beefier S2 hardware.

I don’t think Silksong is there. I still expect any new news about it at GamesCom during an Xbox event. I think it’s a mid November release.

Would love to see a lot of “new” indie games make their way to S2. Stuff like Blue Prince and other games that seem to be skipping S1, such as Mini Shoot Adventures.

I’m sorry, but just because someone used to work for Nintendo doesn’t mean you need to cover every thing they say. The headline made this sound like it was Reggie—someone with a bit more credibility, despite him also leaving Nintendo years ago.

You could apply every word here to any game on any platform. Sony isn’t exactly prolific at putting out games—they bet on a bunch of titles that have flopped or were cancelled. Microsoft had to buy the biggest third party publisher to shore up their games division, and now most of their games aren’t exclusive anymore.

I would expect to see the next mainline 3D Mario game in the next two years.

@BoilerBroJoe

You can criticize them all the time. They all suck for different reasons. The article doesn’t criticize them at all; it states what is happening.

There are only a handful of retailers carrying preorders in the US, so unless the market diversifies, you won’t have much of a choice the next time around.

@AstroTheGamosian

The headline doesn’t imply that. The subhead almost mocks what is happening using a Seinfeld reference. And the article never makes any of those points you made.

If the writer wanted to say what you said, they should have said that instead of relying on a turn of phrase. The rest of the phrase is, “you’re going to get burned.” You can infer a lot of different meanings from that. The goal should be clarity, not ambiguity.

Re: A New 3D Metroidvania Has Been Confirmed For Switch 2

I like the visual design of the game, but it's hard to believe this trailer will generate the kind of attention they want. All of the movement looks stiff and stilted, like a bunch of pre-canned animations strung together instead of fluid and full of life.

Haven’t played it before, and doubt I’ll pick it up now. I’m not sure how Nintendo picked this handful of games out as the ones to launch the system with, but there are a couple head scratchers.

I’m surprised more recent games aren’t included on the list yet, but hopefully they’re working on boosting all first party games, especially ones with unstable frame rates.
