Switch Rumor Archive Redux (Read posting rules in OP)

Didn't Nintendo basically clarify that older games will definitely be coming, but they just won't be branded under the VC name? I doubt they were just referring to the online enhanced NES games.

I wonder if we'll essentially see "classic game collections" that have all of the games from the classic consoles.

It's on the Nvidia Shield of all things. Nintendo has a working emulator for the X1. There's no way they're going to waste something like that just for China. Personally I think Gamecube and Wii games are the only things they're going to sell on the eShop. The rest will either not be on the Switch or par of their online service.

Rumour: According to an article referencing an IGN Forum, Retro Studios will reveal Open World Star Fox (2018) and Donkey Kong Country: Wooden Fury (2019) at E3.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude a Star Fox game from Retro Studios would be lit even if I am skeptical of it being open world

On Team Fake tho

Comic Obsessed · May 9, 2018

At this point I'm just going to wait instead of trusting anything that appears, E3 is only in around a month anyway.

WOODEN FURY???
I'm dying.

Deleted member 1839 · May 9, 2018

That sounds too good honestly and the fact that the next Donkey Kong is "Wooden Fury" ? Yeah that's 100% grade A bullshit.

corasaur · May 9, 2018

At least call it "arctic heat" or something jesus lol.

What kind of name is "Wooden Fury"?

That rumor is hilarious but deserves credit for the creativity of name selection.

Tikis are made out of wood

King K Rool isn't

Please don't be true

Grains of salt, but it would be funny if this Lylat thing is what Ms. Rogers was referring to, days ago. I think she deleted the tweet since then, but she said something to the effect of "a classic Nintendo IP in a new genre" for a weekend thoughts post...

_Malus_ · May 9, 2018

An open world Starfox game made by Retro would be too good to be true...

Liam Robetson also posted an image of Star Fox hinting at an upcoming reveal, so something similar is possible.

Lelouch0612 · May 9, 2018

Reminder that it is not really new for Retro.

The Prime series is exactly that, taking an existing Nintendo IP, Metroid, and putting it in whole new genre, FPS.

justiceiro · May 9, 2018

Well, as star fox fan, it hurts that you know its fake because they caledl it "the biggest switch game of 2018", but the idea is mostly generic and stupid anyway. Excpet for the vehivles, that sounded kinda dope.

Lol, I like the last sentence of the original post:

"Bonus: Shin'en Multimedia are working on F-Zero. Story mode, arcade and online."

Sure they are.

Anyway: #teamfake

Deleted member 26156 · May 10, 2018

Open world Star Fox? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Not a chance.

Yukinari · May 10, 2018

I think Shinen working on F-Zero is more real than Star Fox getting another chance.

Everyone has been screaming at them saying their game feels and sounds like F-Zero (Fast Racing Neo has the GX announcer) so they need to just fucking make one.

It's like the poster got tired after making up all of that Starfox stuff. I would have enjoyed reading more detailed fakery on F-Zero

rando IGN forum rumors are 4chan level (worse?) reliable rumors. don't waste your and our time with those.

also: LOL at those titles ...if you can't tell they're fake then ...wow

Don't worry, they'll make a different DKC without K.Rool.

Pokémon · May 10, 2018

The leak doesn't mention Super Mario Switcheroo so it must be fake.

K Samedi · May 10, 2018

We have been getting hints of a new Starfox so Retro working on it would be dope. Nintendo EPD just doesnt know what to do with the franchise so handing it to Retro to make it somehing big seems like a good idea. They did it with Metroid and Donkey Kong and that turned out great. Going with what Emily Rogers said about what Retro is up to I think this rumour is actually plausible and it does sound ambitious and surprising.

Some people are really naif.

It's literally impossible for a person knowing all these stuffs unless they work for Retro Studios in the higher-ups (especially because the timeline and the "intention" to reveal/release the game are not something everyone working there could possibly know).

Also, there's no way Nintendo is going to present at E3 a DK game to be released on holiday 2019.

At least call it Wooden Furry.

The Prime series is not a shooter series though, it is a very clear 3D iteration of the same game concept that Super Metroid used.

Wooden Fury...

EXPANDED DONG! (Lol)

It might feel natural today but at the time it was considered as a strange take on the franchise.

The fact that it was made by a studio with no pedigree didnt help either.

Servbot24 · May 14, 2018

Sooooo

Eurogamer agrees there is a Star fox game but says it's a racing game. It sounds like a different genre although it could possibly be a racing game with open world elements.

Does that lend credence to the idea there's DK game as well with the rumor from a couple days ago, or is it just coincidence that rumor guessed Star Fox?

Nah, that was some open-world, partly on-foot, exploration-based claim. It also had a different title. And that one is def fake.

The port shouldn't have occupied more than 20% of their workforce and for probably less than a year.
