My uncle at nintendo told me that they'll finally tell us how to teach Pikachu Surf so we can find the Mew under the truck.

I've been so attached to Tears of the Kingdom that I've barely even considered other games. What an open world masterclass. I feel like I could spend another hundred hours in that game and still find some interesting spot hiding somewhere.

Did you know some guy on youtube made a mod/virus for red and blue that makes it so if you trade with a cart that's infected too? The only other thing it does is make it possible to use strength to push the truck and catch a mew.

very fun video

Clearly this is the one where they show off Metroid Prime 4, right? And the new F-Zero? 🙂

And Mother 3, Mario Odyssey 2, Gamecube Switch Online and of course Switch Pro!

If there is a F-Zero than we see a new Golden sun as well

I'll still ride the copium train hoping for a Wind Waker HD port or something similar. New Mario game would also be pretty neat.

Earlier this year I gave up hope of a Wind Waker Switch port and just bought a Wii U specifically to play Wind Waker HD.

It feels like we're getting toward the end of the switch life cycle, but sales are still strong and Nintendo probably would love to hold onto this install base they have. Wonder if we get some acknowledgement of that life cycle or potentially a new console soon.

Honestly I hope it's just a Switch 2. I know Nintendo likes to really think outside the box and do different things with their consoles (DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch), but the Switch is basically the coolest gaming device ever. When they showed that the controllers came off and there was a kickstand so you could play Mario Kart with friends wherever, it blew my mind.

Just update the hardware and fix the joycon drift, and I'll be happy.

My mom said they're gonna announce paperboy 2

According to leaks, there's going to be a new 2D Mario game (It will not have "New" in the title, thankfully) and a "remake of a SNES Classic" (I believe it'll be a Chrono Trigger HD-2D remake).

As long as they don't change too much, a Chrono Trigger remake sounds amazing!

a new 2d mario that's not an nsmb title? that's hype af honestly.

my hopes:

  • more info on fashion dreamer (curious to see how nintendo responds now that the marvelous showcase happened and clarified officially)

  • a comment/bit on pretty princess magical garden island which is literally releasing the day after the direct

  • some other new girly/femme game would be nice, though I know nintendo is kinda shying away form that

  • I'd like to see a 2d zelda too.

Style Savvy Switch when, Nintendo?

have you not heard? style savvy was murdered by nintendo. Syn Sophia, the developers of style savvy, wanted to make a 5th game and got shut down hard by nintendo. They then did a complete ip rebrand and struggled to find a publisher, at which point marvelous stepped in. It's called Fashion Dreamer and is planned to be a continued fashion series by syn sophia. It's basically style savvy, in all but official ip/branding. Same dev, same goal (fashion game), etc.

Given Nintendo's hard rejection, Style Savvy is dead for the foreseeable future. And if Fashion Dreamer does well (which it should if all style savvy fans buy it which they should if they like style savvy), Nintendo might realize it's good to have style savvy and revive; but if that happens I sincerely doubt syn sophia will return to develop them.

tl;dr: style savvy is dead, and nintendo murdered it. a revival might happen if Fashion Dreamer (marvelous/syn sophia game) does well, but if it does revive, it almost certainly won't be syn sophia developing it again, so not really the same.

Buy Fashion Dreamer if you like Style Savvy

Oh no, I hadn't heard! Definitely putting Fashion Dreamer on my list, then! We need more "girl games" that devs have actually put effort into.

I would be down for a CT remake and I think it's eventually inevitable, but it would blow my mind if they gave the Dread treatment to Super Metroid.

Oh that would be amazing. I like that idea but I'm not sure if it's likely

Oh hell ya! Just wishing for an HD remake of Mario RPG lol

That would probably require cooperation with square, which would finally open the door to proper sequels. I’d cry. (No shade on the paper Mario and Mario and Luigi games, they are great series in their own rights, just not the same.)

I'm personally hoping for some news on Splatoon 3's Side Order dlc

Yes! Splatoon is so underrated outside of Japan. I've really been enjoying the game and would love to have a big contentful dlc to work through

Cautiously optimistic for Pikmin 4, here.

i think it looks pretty good, but there are some things in the trailer that i'm not sure about.

  • they showed a lot of pikmin types, i think all of them from every game plus the new ones? this is a worry of mine unless they made enough different areas to make you feel like you don't need every type on every expedition.
  • still not sure how to feel about the dog
  • really glad they're bringing back caves, but the pikmin 2 versus mode-esque battles seem weird
  • the night expeditions seem sort of interesting, curious about what purpose they serve
  • not sure how to feel about the upgrade shops and currency, hope they do it well

overall, theres a lot of new stuff and returning features that were missing in pikmin 3 for us to be excited about. seems like they want to go more of an open world, choose your own adventure style of progression in favor of how in previous games you had to defeat x boss or get y treasure to unlock a new area.

i just hope its longer than pikmin 3 mostly

I'm pretty excited to see what this ends up having. Nintendo has already done a lot of the big obvious things with the Switch, which leaves the window open for lesser used IPs or more unique game concepts.

Or they can do sequels, which is still pretty exciting since it's a chance to improve on what are already some really strong titles.

tbh it seems like nintendo is doing the opposite of that. they used to have a lot of random smaller games/ips, but it's been feeling like they've been centralizing into their few core IPs and nothing else. like, we haven't even gotten a 2d zelda on switch yet (grezzo did LA remake but that's not really a new game).

I know it is basically a dream at this point, but I'd love to see a port of Xenoblade X. One of the best games of the Wii U, and the exploration feeling it gave remains unmatched by X2 and X3.

I'm excited to see what they're going to showcase. The rumor mill is running rampant on Twitter that a new 2D Mario game and an SNES remaster will be shown.

Assuming these are true, I hope we're getting a 2D Mario that isn't a "New Super Mario Bros" title since that franchise is nearly 20 years old at this point. Give us something new. Call it "Super Mario Bros. 5", even. Just something that isn't part of the "New" series.

As for an SNES remaster, Super Mario RPG in a tilt-shift style Link's Awakening remaster would be lovely. A Chrono Trigger remaster in the style of Octopath or Live a Live would also be lovely.

But ultimately I'll just wait it out with hopeful optimism that they have some good stuff in the pipeline.

I never knew I wanted a tilt-shift style Super Mario RPG but now its all I can think about. It'd be an interesting challenge to redo those old games, but they proved it doable with Link's Awakening.

I'm not on beehaw, but kbin.

Though, i do play on my nintendo switch from time to time. The games are mad expensive so i keep most of my games on the desktop computer.

yup I'm very interested to see if Fashion Dreamer makes an appearance, given the corporate drama around it and the fact that it's scheduled for a 2023 release yet we haven't gotten a release date yet.

I miss being excited about Nintendo games.. they just don't seem to live up to my goodness/expectations anymore ☹️

I'm getting older and feeling the same way about a lot of things, but I still can't wait to have time to check out the new Zelda game, and I have no doubt it's going to blow my mind. :)

As an old man who has clocked 150 hours, yes, it will. :)

My dream announcement is a new golden sun game or a remake of the first 2/3.

Beyond that pipe dream, I always get excited to see the buzz around things like this!

I would love a Golden Sun port or new game! I LOVED the one on GBA! Such a fun puzzle rpg. It did have a TON of dialogue though....

Yeah, it was campy and long winded at times, but the puzzles were great, the class system was unique and creative, and the music was second to none. It's a small magazine and a small community altogether, but I'm proud to be the moderator.

Can we get the next set of MK tracks? Pikmin is the next MK character, let’s goooo!

Any chance of them announcing they're getting out of the hardware business? As much as I love me some Nintendo, I really don't think I'll be buying another console from them.

Based on the sales of The Switch, I highly doubt it. While I agree that it is due for a refresh, Nintendo doesn't really chase high end graphics. They'll put out new hardware eventually that is more powerful than the current Switch, but less powerful than a PS5. They have a bunch of IPs that they know will carry it regardless of if it's cutting edge or not.

I sincerely doubt they'll leave the hardware business. The Switch is their most successful home console of all time, ranking third in overall video game console sales.

It's annoying to have to buy multiple consoles to enjoy the best experiences that video gaming has to offer, but I wouldn't bank on Nintendo leaving anytime soon.

Thanks for the heads up! Notification set, interested to see what's shown...
