Yeah, going to need some sources for those.
BotW most likely is true, but really sceptic about the others.

BotW most likely is true, but really sceptic about the others.
Why? E3 would have been their only real opportunity, but Odyssey was a big focus of that Direct.
I think I'd personally have been less excited about the idea of a 3D Donkey Kong game when Odyssey was already on the horizon. But if it's revealed in the January direct? That has much more impact, no?
BOTW couldn't launch sooner since it was announced for a simultaneous Switch launch. I imagine the Wii U version would've been ready for November 2016 pretty easily.
Nintendo themselves said Mario was basically finished at the reveal. Mario is a big title, good enough to push back to ensure a good holiday season.
Mario and rabbids was a 3ds game before it was rebooted. Also, these games where never 'Done'. They may not have been in full production crunch mode right up until they went gold, but at no point where zelda or Odyssey not being worked on until release
I believe that an interview back at the Switch Showcase in January 2017 mentioned that Odyssey was almost complete as of then.
They revealed Tropical Freeze at the same event as 3D World just a few years ago.
Gotta agree. Look at Mario & Rabbids. That was revealed at E3 and came out a couple months later.
That's a 2D and a 3D platformer though. They play very differently.
To me this would be like announcing Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing in the same year.
Is it bad that I want Nintendo to announce the revival of a dead third party franchise that never previously appeared on their systems just to see the meltdowns. I'm talking about a Bayonetta 2 level announcement. Now that would be an entertaining direct. But I wonder what franchise they could possibly do. Devil May Cry? Too similar to Bayonetta. I know. Vaniquished 2.
I'm pretty sure two AAA platformers would be regarded pretty well together.
They announced Kirby and Yoshi like three minutes apart also.
We already have heavy rumors of DMCV being a thing (possibly with Sony's help).
Oh I don't care if Devil May Cry 5 is actually in development or what systems it appears on. In my twisted mind, I only care about watching the glorious meltdowns.
Really? Many of those people work in the gaming industry so many of them would actually know of its existence. Well, technically we already do.
I remember all the rumors about how Beyond Good & Evil 2 was gonna be Switch exclusive, good times.
Pretty much. Now, if Retro's game was some kind of huge, open world game, it would make sense to hold it so that it doesn't release alongside BOTW, Odyssey, and Xenoblade 2.
It's DK64-2, guys.
When Metroid Samus returns was announced i was like WHAT YEAR IS IT?

Been away for a bit, has there been discussion on this?

They have a proper name and an actually defined studio structure.
Nintendo EPD 3 could gain or lose a lot of staffers to other EPD divisions depending on the year whereas Retro's staffing levels only change after hirings and quits.
... But they're also 5/5 in great games.
Yeah there are a lot of factors. They're consistently great, they're the only significant Western studio Nintendo has, etc......I just think actual names makes speculation a lot easier for people.
SPD 1 is a real name!
Maybe that's true, but I mean Monolith in the last 4 years put out 2 games and have assisted in another 2. Retro has zero credits.
That's just not normal for a studio that has gotten as much praise as Retro.
there is never going to be another Bayonetta 2, unless as you said, DMC 5, but thats not gonna happen, Vanquish is actually a much lesser known game and Mikami was behind it, i was thinking something among the likes of Metal Gear Rising 2, Evil Within doesn't have the same critical reception.
A new From ip would be huge, but its not gonna be Souls 4 or Bloodborne 2
Actually Monolith's got a LOT to their name in those 4 years:
Own:
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Project X Zone 2
Assisted:
Splatoon
Splatoon 2
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
7th Dragon III (Interface work only)
Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (was mainly by Monster Games)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
And that's no earlier than Dec 2013!
This is the level of pettiness I can totally get behind!
I honestly can't think of many franchises that are recently dead but beloved like Bayo was. Maybe if they somehow brought back Turok or Dino Crisis as exclusives, I can see an uproar being made about it.
For me it's because the Prime Trilogy are some of my favorite games of all time. I'd say Prime 1 is my favorite, and 2 is in my top 5.
Aditionally, if I loved 2D platformers, DKCTF would be too. It's easily the best one I've played.
If anyone's gonna make a big new game to compete with western ones besides Nintendo EPD themselves, it'll be Retro. The Prime games STILL hold up this much later as a technical marvel.
I have the issue. It also lists Bayonetta 3 and Fire Emblem (Switch). Those were already formally announced, but it may indicate them being shown during the Direct.
good....
I'd be content with a 30 minute direct of black screen and a 1 second image saying pikmin 4 switch.
Maybe through hollow knight release date in there to be extra nice....
That is absolutely telling then. That's totally thread worthy. The Direct is 5 days away, wouldn't be surprised if journalists have gotten to play some of them already.
Someone should go ahead and make the thread.
Oh man, what if they repurpose Turok as a Monster Hunter replacement?
I'd love to see anything Turok honestly. Who owns that IP, Activision?
Edit: Wikipedia tells me Disney owns it?? Yeesh what don't they own these days
Arlo writes for Nintendo Force now. He'd always discuss Pikmin 4 regardless of the phase of its (in)existence.
Disney Interactive Studios published Turok (2008), but I do not believe Disney owns the IP. The Turok comic book trademark is owned by Penguin Random House. Although Dynamite Entertainment published last year a new series called Turok:
Also, Nightdive Studios published (and developed) remastered version of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil in 2015 and 2017 respectively. It could be that Nightdive Studios controls the IP in terms of game software while Penguin Random House controls literature.
HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING (?)

I don't even like much of the music but PopERA is the best.Will talent win with this new Direct?
Stay tuned
Nintendo Force could just write an article about "here's what we want in Pikmin 4 and Bayonetta 3" next issue.
That's why I'm not making a thread about it, just passing along the information.
Pikmin is a weird series to get 4 games. I mean it's good, but I've never gotten the feeling that it's that popular or successful.

Ah so it's one of those multimedia IPs where it's very unclear who owns which license. Well thanks for that research!
Turok could be a pretty good IP for a monster hunting game to be honest. Just look at his hood in that comic. Very much doubt it's happening though.
It's never been popular but Miyamoto likes it and they can probably justify making it by saying that it's never been on a popular platform before.
I would expect the next Pikmin to be semi-outsourced with Nintendo leadership like Samus Returns.
It's one of the most interesting IPs the company has ever done so it can't die.
Maybe:
1. Kirby Star Allies
2. Yoshi Cut Out World
3. Smash Port
4. Wave Rave New Thunder
5. F-Zero Gravity
6. Paper Mario 2000 year door
7. GTA 5
8. Dark Souls
9. Dragonball FighterZ
10. Fallout 4 or NV
11. Bioshock Collection
12. Donkey Kong Country 4 (with CGI Look)
13. Zelda Collection
14. SSX3 Remake
15. Burnout Paradise DX
16. Call of Duty MW
17. Animal Crossing Paradise
18. Daytona USA 3
Now that would be epic lol
