I'm pretty sure that famitsu thing was just generic PR fluff not pointing to anything specific.Feels like it'll be Partner Showcase, similar to last year that happened much later than usual (E3 week). Not to mention, this rumor:
[Famitsu] "A number of highly anticipated titles are scheduled to be released by third parties" on Nintendo Switch (Current Fiscal Year)
https://www.famitsu.com/news/202305/31303939.html What are you expecting? Will Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake finally make a reappearance? Is the Switch finally underground enough for Yakuza? Bloodborne?!
Fair enough, still feel like it'll likely be a Partner Showcase to get through contractual obligations without Nintendo showing their hand too much for Switch 2.
Didn't BOTW get all of its dlc announced before it came out?
Didn't they announce BotW's DLC before the game even came out? If anything, they're late.
Would be nice. I'm not sure what to make of the video though because he seems pretty non-committal. Paraphrasing but he basically said sounds like something is happening but don't be surprised if it doesn't.
He didn't really say that though? He just said it could be a partner or a mini direct, not that he thinks it is one. He also said it could be a proper direct.
2D Mario I feel like would wait for the Switch 2 and be cross gen but everything else there is plausible
2D Mario honestly feels like the kind of game Nintendo would use on the current Switch as its last huge seller to ride the system into the sunset, especially since they almost certainly have 3D Mario waiting in the chamber to be the Switch 2's marquee launch title.
If anything, this is good news to me; hopefully this means that when they do announce a DLC, it will be meaty. Or I could be wrong and we get shrine hunt 2.0
Though considering Nintendo's recent history with July directs, we should all be expecting that
I honestly think we'll get Prime 4 before the remasters of 2 & 3. I've mentioned this numerous times, but the fact that Prime 1 Remastered was shadow-dropped after Nintendo sat on the game for nearly 2 years makes me think that Prime 4 isn't too far off.
Are there any actual rumors regarding the Zelda HD duo? I'd heard/seen varying degrees of rumbling about the others, but not those.
The game was already promised for the Switch 1. And if Nintendo didn't go back on their word for BotW on Wii U, they definitely won't do so now.
We essentially know Prime 2 and 3 were *planned* to have full remasters of the same scope as Prime 1, and we do know Prime 1 wrapped development quite some time ago. I'd be shocked if we only got upscales, and the otherwise random timing for Prime 1's release (they sat on it for ages only to release it 3 months after the 20th anniversary) tells me that release date was informed by some kind of milestone being hit for Prime 4.
I mean I'd love if I didn't have to buy a new console to play it, and Metroid is by far my favorite series, but I won't be counting on what Nintendo's plans were back in 2017.
