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.
I think one reason for this might be that Miyamoto seems to really care about Pikmin. (I do, too).

I doubt that they would not name Fire Emblem when it will be revealed in this direct.
Never on their consoles? Hmmm, that's a hard one considering most multiplats either debuted or had spin offs later on. I mean, if we're talking strictly never ever, Valkyrie Profile or Star Ocean would do the trick for mass fuckery in the JRPG category for sure, but if we're talking about wider appeal, I guess an exclusive proper Prince of Persia would get the blood boiling.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.
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!

More like people have this weird conception of them as this first party Nintendo studio that one day will come up with this super amazing adventure game tailored to the western audience instead of these "kid" games Nintendo is known for.Retro continue to be an extremely talented studio but I'm convinced one of the reasons they dominate discussions as much as they do is because they're one of the few internal Nintendo teams that actually has a proper name.
Fates didn't have a title when it was first announced in January 2015. Wouldn't be impossible.I doubt that they would not name Fire Emblem when it will be revealed in this direct.

I've been thinking about a Klonoa revival recently, mainly to coincide with the movie that's supposed to be happening.Never on their consoles?

If we're talking in general? I think Klonoa or Castlevania are gonna be revived on Switch, maybe both, with exclusivity.

Just to put things into perspective.. a lot of people want a new IP from them, right? Even if it was a meaty one, tell me what kind of reaction said IP would get if the game that took 5 years to make had the art style and characters from that artist who posted some freelance work on his Instagram account a few weeks (months?) ago?
I can tell you right now, it'd face a similar fate as Tropical Freeze.
It's about time someone said this.
I've thought people have had unrealistic expectations of Retro since after Returns launched.
I mean... Many people want more games from Nintendo with the production values and tone of BotW or SMO/SMG.
That's pretty normal.
The one that made my blood boil was back in 2011 people were throwing the MK team under the bus and saying that the DKCR MK7 track and all the redone old tracks were better than anything the MK team did.
That's why I said "meaty"I mean... Many people want more games from Nintendo with the production values and tone of BotW or SMO/SMG.
That's pretty normal.
It is pretty normal. I've seen people want some AAA mature western focused title from Retro. Is it likely? Time will tell but I doubt it.
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.
I don't think this game has to be more mature than BotW (BotW is actually extremely sexual so Retro's game could be less mature) or more focused on America than BOTW for people to be really excited for it.
That's not really realistic. Nintendo's a suprisingly efficient developer, but even their AAA titles take time to make. BotW was in development for 5 years. Oddyssey was in development for 3. Big AAA games take time to make, so you can't keep expecting Nintendo to make Blockbusters all the time. They need smaller projects to balance it out, which is how games like Splatoon and ARMS were born. The original Splatoon IIRC, was developed within a year, maybe less.I mean... Many people want more games from Nintendo with the production values and tone of BotW or SMO/SMG.
That's pretty normal.
This!Pikmin 4 is my most anticipated title currently. Really hope to see it.

Mario and Zelda are two of the most critically acclaimed and commercial successful franchises the medium has to offer. Furthermore, they both appeal to a global audience. Nintendo is not going to throw that kind of budget behind a "new IP" from Retro Studios. We are more likely to see an ambitious 3D Donkey Kong platformer with high production values than a "AAA shooter" or whatever the fuck else people are asking them to make these days.I mean... Many people want more games from Nintendo with the production values and tone of BotW or SMO/SMG.
That's pretty normal.
Most people would be satisfied with art similar to Mario or Steven Universe I believe as long as the graphics and dialog and gameplay looked very good.
Its that as well, but mostly I am surprised Nintendo never tried to follow through with Namco for continuing the revival after the great remake on the Wii. Its one of the rare franchise that are very Nintendo like, both in terms of game design and presentation, and I feel a full Nintendo/Namco collab for a new entry can alleviate some shortcomings of previous entries(mainly game length). Its the 20th Anniversary, so no time is better for it.I've been thinking about a Klonoa revival recently, mainly to coincide with the movie that's supposed to be happening.
Guys, this isn't a shit post but is there even an announced direct ? Or is this 94 pages of hype train?
This. I think people are going to be disapointed if they're expecting some gritty western AAA style game from Retro. While I personally would be interested in seeing that if only for curiosity sake. I gaurentee you that whatever Retro's working on is going to be far more unique and stylized that these "AAA Western Game" fantasies people keep yammering about.More like people have this weird conception of them as this first party Nintendo studio that one day will come up with this super amazing adventure game tailored to the western audience instead of these "kid" games Nintendo is known for.

It'll be announced either Monday or Tuesday. It's been heavily rumoured and basically confirmed by EA/Amazon/Insiders.Guys, this isn't a shit post but is there even an announced direct ? Or is this 94 pages of hype train?

I don't think there was more money spent on SMO than Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon was made by a previously bad developer that had never released a game that lived up to expectations ;)
Nintendo Force, a sort of spiritual successor to Nintendo Power magazine (but not in any way affiliated with Nintendo of America like Nintendo Power was).
We'll take an in-depth look at it, evaluate more modern ports to the Switch like DOOM and Bayonetta 2, and then report on . . . well, some things we aren't able to say publicly here quite yet! (But early 2018's going to be pretty exciting for Switch fans . . . )
