i would do truly unspeakable things for a wind waker switch port…
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.
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.
Super Mario RPG Remake was announced! You called it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r5PJx7rlds
Yaaaaaaas! It looks like they stayed true to the original game, so this is a day 1 pickup for me.
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.
Oh hell ya! Just wishing for an HD remake of Mario RPG lol
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.
I’m personally hoping for some news on Splatoon 3’s Side Order dlc
Cautiously optimistic for Pikmin 4, here.
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.
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.
