how about something like this? (not pixelated tho)
OMG, this would be great (even in pixelart).
Only thing I could think of if it wasn't
Yeah, one of the two. And I really don't believe after all the praise and Aonuma saying in interviews they would come back to a more linear Zelda. The next 3D game is obviously the same "genre".
I think it may be a Majora's Mask type of game - it doesn't have to be a direct sequel to BotW, though. It may be its own story, specially since Nintendo's back to not giving a damn about the "timeline".
He obviously talked about the next Pokémon game when he mentioned BotW.
Don't assume he actually meant something connected to Zelda or BotW when he said BotW guys.

/s
because they sell much less
people want stunning and emotional 3D environments, not isometric low budget things
and me too
i like the pixelated look too, but i don't think nintendo would ever go for the faux-pixel art look
No, not at all, I hope we see a Indie game heavily inspired by this artwork, tho.
I guess It will be a updated ALBW engine, probably. The great thing is, ALBW is 60fps. The team likes the fluidity. It can easily be 1080/60fps on Switch.
Yeah, i'm hyped with the possibilities.
ALBW sold as well as Skyward Sword.
That and I think it just isn't that much in demand anymore. Maybe in like 5-10 years we'd see an uptick if Nintendo stopped doing 2D Zelda, but right now it's not something people have been itching for because these games keep being made. It's not THAT special anymore. Nowadays 2D Zelda just feels like a low budget 3D Zelda. Gaming has evolved since the SNES, Game Boy, and GBA. So expectations and demand changes
ALBW was ugly when it came out. Hopefully whatever they do for the next top down Zelda, if there is one, looks nothing like it.
Regardless, I'm pretty sure that tease was for MPT and a "2D" Metroid. Makes the most sense, both have been rumored, and would compliment Prime 4 very well.

I'm not sure that proves your point consider SS was a disastrous release that prompted the complete revamp of the series with BotW. Beyond that ALBW sold significantly less than OoT3D, and only slightly more than MM3D. That's not a great result for a new entry in the franchise even if the numbers look good in a vacuum.

Steamworld 3 would get me more hyped than BoTW sequel news. January direct could be incredible!
SS was a major game in the 25th anniversary of the franchise. It sold alright, but people here (myself included) are dying for a Switch port, yet it sold little more than ALBW, which is a unique, handholding free game and the order of dungeons is up to the player that inspired the concept of BOTW, people downplay a new top down Zelda by the same team. Why?
Also, Majora's Mask is considered for many to be the best Zelda game ever, and ALBW sold more than the port on the same plataform.
ALBW is praised by most as the best Top down Zelda game, in the same hall as ALTTP and Link's Awakening.
And above all, is really important that we have the alternate games in the series, if we only get one type (2d or 3d) for many years, it will become the next Assassin's Creed. Each team has new cool ideas that the other team can implement, resulting in very good games for both audiences. And the development of one does not impact budget and resources of the other. The next Topdown will not get in the way of the next 3D Zelda.
Could easily also be referring to what kind of thing MP4 is shooting for. A BotW-esque re-imagining of the (sub-)series. Possibly referring to the openness, the interconnected systems, or whatever. The hints are already super broad, that's why I caution against immediately jumping to the obvious first choice and expecting it to mean that.
I hope Metroid Prime 4 takes the open air, atmosphere & danger of the BOTW environments and jams them down into a claustrophobic, suffocating planet interior. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me, but that's what I want.
obviously Mother Trilogy and a new Wario Land game. right?
It's totally Prime Trilogy and 2D Zelda
Just coz they're targeting 2020 at the start of 2019 doesn't mean it'll make it, especially with 3D Zelda's history of msssive delays.
If they are rereleasing the Prime Trilogy, it better have motion control support. It just felt "right" in those games on the Wii.
Splatoon 2 is great game and one most have Switch games. Hole that hacker issues problems are overblown, I mean there are some problems but huge majority of Splatoon 2 players didnt had any game with any hacker (they so rear).
The long-awaited return of Nintendogs.
You thought dressing up Eevee or Pikachu in PLGPE was dope? You ain't seen nothing yet...
Lag issues and controller latency are much bigger issues than cheaters. I have nearly 800h hours and encountered a cheater just once; and that was months ago.
Yeah, exactly my point, hole cheaters problem is overblown, people not familar with this just from threads headlines think that Splatoon 2 is full of cheaters and that game is unplayable because of that.
Talking about this hints, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD makes most sense, and plenty of people already said that game is definitely coming to Switch,
but I wouldnt have anuthing against if somehow this ending being Pikmin Trilogy. :)
2D Zelda makes most sense for 2D game, we also had some hints before and totally makes sense releasing 2D Zelda this year.
New 3D Zelda for 2020. also makes sense, it would be 3-4 years after BotW and Nintendo probably reusing plenty of BotW assets and models for new Zelda.
Existing times, cant wait for Direct. :)

Looks like some stuff happened since yesterday.
The "2D is automatically worse than 3D" thing in regards to Zelda is pretty funny as ALBW is more highly regarded than the three 3D games that immediately preceded it.
We already know that open world Zelda isn't going anywhere. A new 2D game could also follow the traditional Zelda formula (with some twists obviously) to satisfy people who aren't fans of open world games. I don't think we need a case of the next 10 Zelda games being open world . That type of burnout is what lead Aonuma to shake up the series in the first place.
Anyway, I wonder if Ryo Nagamatsu would return. He did a good job with the ALBW soundtrack, but he's been working on Splatoon 2 for the last two years and updates only stopped last month.

What I would like to see drive Metroid Prime 4's overworld design is the idea that you have certain "high points" where you get a good vantage on the areas you can travel, but to actually reach those places you have to dive into the claustrophobic corridored underbelly.
For instance, you might end up on a landing pad where you can see the area you want to get to, along with other landmarks you're eyeing to reach, but in order to reach those points you have to go down and through/along the planet's surface.
I'd be shocked if a 2D Zelda comes to switch and has zero multiplayer
They will find a way to include it in someway
Sounds a lot like the world design in Dark Souls/Bloodborne. Would be more than fine with me.
The negative 2D Zelda talk would make me said if I didn't know that Nintendo doesn't give a shit about what lames with bad taste think about their games.
Multiplayer may be in, but it won't be focused on it like Triforce Heroes was.
I'm really happy that we might be getting 2D Zeldas and Metroids during the Switch's lifecycle. 2D and 3D additions to these series (including the Mario series) make for a great combination.
Imho this 2D Zelda (assuming it's Zelda) will be singleplayer. It's the first HD game that team is working on and they've had enough time to make a proper game (TFH was made in 2 years), plus they still have time to make a multiplayer game for the Switch right after this one.
Even Sales-wise it makes more sense to make a Singleplayer game. I mean it could have some co-op component, but I expect the main story to be singleplayer.

I feel it sold less because of the conditions surrounding it more than anything else. Not a ton of advertising, lackluster demo, and the game basically required multiplayer. The single player was near unplayable in some stages. Give us a more refined game where multiplayer is optional and put it on the Switch and it should definitely sell well.
And tbf, it underperformed comparatively, but still managed to break a million even with as many problems as it had.

I feel like some people think Metroid Prime Trilogy is debunked just because it wasn't announced when we thought it was going to be announced.
Pretty sure most people (with sense) think its Metroid and not a Zelda trilogy. They could easily sell all the Zeldas individually so releasing them as a trilogy would be plain stupid
as if nintendo would ever put three games in one package when they can sell each for 50 or 60 dollars. metroid is a different story cuz they already did a trilogy on wii and this will be a port of that, and a single metroid game won't sell as much as a single zelda game.
No, it was slated for Spring in the last Direct and they reported the same on any Nintendo document listing upcoming releases
Edit: at 25:10
Yeah but MP Trilogy wii was just the gamecube versions upscaled + mp3 right? If they would spend money and resources on a proper remaster, why sell 3 Metroids at $60?
I also believe that the Zelda ports will be stand alone, but not $60 each, only the inevitable SSHD.
