I never did play Banjo Tootie, but since there was only 2 to pick from, I had to go with Conker and Diddy Kong Racing. I have no doubts DK64 will make its way to the Switch eventually.
“Resolve the Sylux Cliffhanger, But Quickly”?Hell no, flesh out Sylux and make him a stable character. Dark Samus is fine, but she was defeated in MP3, it’s Ridley that’s always coming back. Slide and Melee abilities from Dread sounds nice, but it better not mean that they add a sprint mechanic.
And you want isolation In and an AI companion? So you want Halo then?
If there’s anything i want them to take from Halo, after a fully fleshed out single player, is a fully fleshed out online multiplayer. Feds v Pirates feat. Hunters. And gunship control.
And at this point I don’t believe it’ll be a Switch game, or at least, they’re better off leaving MP4 for Nintendo’s next-gen console.
I’m all for any game that takes place in Ivalice, new or old. The best FF games (and Vagrant Story) take place there.
But it feels like a missed opportunity for SE to not have brought FF Explorers to the Switch already.
But Yoshida‘s recent lie"Nobody said a word about a PC version releasing… Don't worry about that, buy a PS5…”
(SE literally had “also available on PC” at the end of the reveal trailer)
it leaves a bad taste.
At the earliest they’ll announce late 2023 and launch mid/ late 2024.
But it more likely an announcement early 2024, release late 2024/ early 2025.
And I don’t believe Metroid Prime 4 on Switch is a priority anymore, it maybe a cross-gen launch like BotW was, but if the jump in console power is significant enough, they’ll drop a potential “Switch version”.
Though the convenience of not having to carry physical copies is nice, especially for a handheld device. I do believe digital copies should be cheaper than physical copies.
Geez, only a day in and NLife are already calling Nintendo’s 2023 a bad year?
And if anyone thought 2022 was a bad year for the Switch, would have hate to have been a Wii U owner. 2022 was a great year for the Switch.
I hope the new series is more like Pokémon Origins, Hisuian Snow or the Pokétoon shorts, they were really good.
But I think I’ll miss Jessie & James the most from the main show. But it’d be nice to see everyone all finally aged up, seeing an aged up Pokémon Champion Ash would be a nice surprise.
Pretty average, a lot more video game references though. Feels like it was made for a younger audience. I’d give it a 6/10. a real 6/10, not this fakeass “6/10 or lower is a bad show” rot.
For 2023, I’m hoping Nintendo will announce their next console with a 2024 release date. Something beast-y enough to handle some of the major 3rd party games coming out, and with Metroid Prime 4 as launch title, if not a Metroid Prime remastered collection launch, with MP4 to follow.

Never played it, so I have no nostalgia for this. 1080 Snowboarding however, now that’s where it’s at. If only Nintendo would revive that series, along with Wave Race, Excitebike (N64 style) and of course F-Zero.
Siblings? Sure, siblings, just like the Xbox X/S and PS5. What a stupid take.
Only a consumer, an owner of all consoles would treat them like “siblings” (hence this write-up).
In the business world, no, they are most definitely rivals, especially when one can “take” the others exclusives and advertises as much.
The only awards I didn't agree with was OST & RPG, Elden Ring and Xenoblade had a way better OST than GoW. As for RPG, why was Elden Ring a nominee? It really was the odd one out compared to the other nominees, and imo ER should have been in the Action/Adventure category.
It’s a smart and hilarious business move by MS to make the ABK buyout happen.
And yet many are missing the point that MS have said they’re committing to bringing COD to Nintendo consoles, not specifically the Switch.
So by the time the buyout happens, Nintendo may have already moved on to developing games for their next console and there very well may not be any of this “watered down ports” talk.
There’s also the one where, before it became Federation Force, NextLevel was making a “pretty straightforward multiplayer deathmatch”.“That was like a standalone version of the multiplayer modes in Metroid Prime Hunters.”
Hopefully the “could have been’s” still have a chance to become the “could be’s”.
Especially when we’ve now got great tactical games like Mario+Rabbids.

Asking about gameplay elements I understand, to an extent. But wanting to know plot elements is just asking to have the game spoiled.

Re: Talking Point: In 2023, Do You Still Care About amiibo?
They announce a new amiibo, I’m buying it.
Though I wish they’d make some Xenoblade and more Animal Crossing amiibo.
And some sort of amiibo functionality to Pokémon cards, with a new Pokémon TCG would be good too.
