We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Not surprising, but interesting nonetheless. Not having to make new stuff as much would make for a quicker development after all.

Now that I think about it, it probably makes more sense if Noah is actually a studio rather than a game. It doesn't make a lot of sense to "announce" a game through a twitter banner.
In any case, hopefully he hasn't stopped working with Nintendo.

Also I'm betting that Nintendo probably had the MK engineers work with a younger art staff (or foreign). Modeling cities seems more straightforward than creating new NIntendo worlds.

does this help you in any way with Labo credits?

Post Direct: here is how 2020 looks
January- FE: Tokyo Mirage Sessions
March- Animal Crossing New Horizons
2020- Xenoblade Chronicles Remake
2020- No More Heroes 3
BOTW 2 and Bayo 3 are in development. I'll believe they are 2020 titles when Nintendo announces them as such.

Wait what?!?
Please don't tell me they're Japan only...
EDIT: Omg I'm so excited ... they look so good ...
Please localize them ... if TMS can make it over then this can too...please

Announced in the Japanese version of the Direct yesterday; we don't know anything about localisation yet unfortunately.
New Wii Fit incoming? Could it be 2019? December is empty...maybe next year?
Thanks!! Hopefully they do localize it.

Not to ignore the Rubber Band sized elephant that just dropped, but I just remembered this question from an investor:
This is from June this year...I wonder if the investor knew/had heard a rumor?

This feels like something they would want out for the holiday season just based on the family marketing angle.

Investor just rolled up to Sakamoto in the parking lot. "Here's a check, make more. Do it for me."
I'm surprised Nintendo never attempted a Famicom Club / Fatal Frame crossover.
Sakamoto: Ok...but it means no 2D Metroid for a while
Investor: What's Metroid?
Well, one series has been dead for like 25 years :P
Kinda surprised we still haven't seen any Fatal Frame on the Switch yet, though.
6 back to back bombas might be the limit for Nintendo.
I find it intersting what kind of new content TMS and Xenoblade DE are getting. After Bayo, Tropical Freeze and Captain Toad I was afraid they'd only release straight ports (even though CT got some new stuff through DLC). According to Emily Pikmin 3 is also getting new stuff.
This makes me wonder what we're going to see for their remaining Wii U ports...

3D World will probably get Toadette as a playable character.
To be fair, even Tropical Freeze wasn't a straight port. It did get an additional Funky Kong mode. :-p
Are you expecting similar enhancements/additions for 3D World?
I think Nintendo is trying to add enhancements/additions/new content to almost all of their Wii U ports. I can't think of many Wii U ports that didn't have any enhancements or additions or new content.
Maybe Bayonetta 2?
Maybe Bayonetta 2?
How many are Platinum at now? :S
Joking, kinda
I was going to say Hyrule Warriors, but I guess they added the Fairies in 3D and remade the 3DS levels/character assets in HD.

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition got a crapload of enhancements and additions on Switch. It earned its title.
Yeah, so I guess Bayo1+2 are the most 'vanilla' of the Wii U ports.
OP
OP
NSMBU got nothing other than Toadette and the Peachette transformation while removing a whole game mode.
Meanwhile, Bayo 2 added local multiplayer finally. Wii U was online only. So that's a bigger deal than a palette swap chracter in NSMBU even^^
I guess Bayo 1 wins for being nothing besides a more stable 60fps than before.^^
I could see whether or not rereleases add new content varying from developer to developer. Atlus seems to love adding new stuff to most of their rereleases in general. I know Monolith Soft isn't confirmed to be developing Xenoblade Definitive Edition at the moment, but I'm guessing they're handling it themselves or at least heavily overseeing it. Monolith added extra content to Xenoblade 2 that wasn't mentioned in the season pass announcement, so I could see them wanting to add some new things to Xenoblade 1 if they're in charge of the remaster.
Other development teams might prefer to focus on straightforward ports depending on how much time they want to spend working on rereleases compared to working on new projects.
OP
OP
Yo you must have missed that we already know they're adding an entire new map to Xenoblade in the form of the unfinished Bionis Shoulder that was only visible in cutscenes and accessible through hacking the Wii ROM. That is HUGE.
Oh I know. I meant that Monolith seems like the sort of studio that would want to add new content to a remaster if they make it themselves, with the extra content in Xenoblade 2's season pass being a recent example of how they've overdelivered on content.
I doubt Bionis' Leg, new outfits for Shulk and Melia, and a new Monado design would be added if Monolith wasn't working on the remaster themselves. If the remaster was being handled by an external studio, I'd expect something closer to a Twilight Princess HD situation with Tantalus. I'm just saying "if" because Monolith's involvement hasn't been officially confirmed yet.
OP
OP
True. I actually meant substantial additions and what could be more substantial than Funky Kong :p
In all seriousness, their additions have varied a lot in scope and Xenoblade seems to be the biggest by far. Makes me curious what their approach is.
Ah, I forgot about those.
I never finished Xenoblade X but... do you think they could resolve the cliffhanger with an extra chapter or two? Or does it need an entire ass sequel?
I ask because I hope Monolith Soft's next game is XB3 and not a sequel to X, but I do want X fans to have the story finished. Hopefully a port with new content can satisfy.

Emily said yesterday it's the new IP from EPD/Mystery Game #4. Evidently, it's not just "Switch Fit". I imagine it involves some kind of gameplay/story/characters that makes it closer to Splatoon than the likes of 1 2 Switch.
A new character/power-up seems like a bigger addition than local multiplayer, but that's subjective I guess. Although at least NSMBUDX includes the Luigi DLC and Nabbit, as well so it's still a bit of a jump over vanilla NSMBU.
