WWHD and TPHD makes pretty substantial use of the Gamepad as well. Not being to (for example) manage the inventory while I ride Epona through Hyrule Fields is a big downgrade, IMO.

Witcher 3 + all the expansions are in the cart no? Game is bigger than NieR iirc.
I argued the same half a year ago and everyone told me its gonna be smaller on Switch (and not like Nier 1 is such a big game, it fit on one 360 Disc, they could just make that one a download)
I think most of that is the prerendered cutscenes either way.
Also the DLC in the Game of the Yorha Edition isn't bug, so it doesn't even weigh in on the size.
edit:
yep, just checked, the cutscenes are 25 GB, and the game is also 45 gigs without the DLC.
Sure, there is nothing impossible about it. But packaging it with the first Nier? That's too much.
The problem is beyond the story. It has a great premise with the colony ship and rebuilding and settling on a new world.
It fails in it big time. Like there is absolutely no world build after the initial contact. There is no development on the city. The natives "cities" are comprised of individual huts and caves.
It's just really really bad.
XBX and XB2 are nothing but really badly prolonged fetchquest ques.
My attempt:
Will Happen
- Mario 3D World (very different from Odyssey)
- Xenoblade Chronicles X (fans have been screaming for years and Nintendo doesn't have much open world-franchises)
Strong Chance
- Pikmin 3 (would mean delay for P4)
Moderate Chance
- Color Splash (good game, but gamepad-dependant)
- W101 (Kamiya said he wants it, so maybe)
Low Chance
- Wind Waker (already port)
- Twilight Princess (already port)
- TMS (very niche)
- FF5 (time for a sequel)
- Wooly World (too similar to recent Yoshi)
[/QUOTE]
Rubbish. You can tell a story however you want. XBX has bombastic cutscenes for its main story and fleshes it out in its great, in-depth sidequests. I loved it. That's not saying I wouldn't want a more substantial main story, too. ;i
❤
I'd slide Yoshi to low chance since we just got its sequel. I don't think demand is high enough for a Yoshi game for them to port Whoolly world, especially since it was ported to 3DS even more recently.
yeah the premise was cool, its what most remember from X plot for good reason
NIer 1 on 360 is like 5.1 GB, thats peanuts next to Automata.
Yeah I agree there, I don't see why they'd need to pump up the value of it that much. It would do fine on its own.
I just don't think the storage space argument is really valid anymore.
I really want/need Wind Waker and the 3DS Zelda remakes ported to Switch. I expect the former, probably not the latter.
Let me have a go at this:
Guaranteed Port:
- Pikmin 3
Possible Ports:
- Super Mario 3D World
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
- The Wonderful 101
- Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
- Wii Sports Club
- Xenoblade Chronicles X
Sequel instead of a Port:
- Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
- Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars
- NES Remix
- Paper Mario: Color Splash
- Pushmo World
Not Happening:
- Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival
- Devil's Third
- Dr. Luigi
- Game & Wario
- Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush
- Nintendo Land
- Pokémon Rumble U
- Star Fox Zero / Star Fox Guard
- Wii Fit U
- Wii Party U
- Yoshi's Woolly World
I don't think that will stop Nintendo from porting them. The Gamepad was a huge part of Mario Maker and that got a sequel
To be fair even before insiders spoke, Pikmin 3 had strong chances for porting because we dont have nothing Pikmin related on Switch.
Both WW HD and TP HD are perfectly playable only with Wii U gamepad, while (I think) that same couldn't be said for Color Splash.
Talking about potential Zelda WW/TP HD ports, after BotW, Zelda is more popular than ever, so Switch users would easily by millions copies of WWTP HD,
on other hand we could just get new Paper Mario game and call a day.
Color Splash can be played exclusively on the GamePad; it just handles it really weirdly.
No matter what, they would need to make some adjustments.
Looks like i will be staying of the twitter and era for like one day before Direct because at that time Sabi will start to leaking it.

Up until this moment I didn't realize that my ass was a more valuable body part than a kidney. The more you know.
I just think if someone has a great ass they should part with a kidney first

I swear to god, if this hurricane kills me before I get to see the Direct I'll be so pissed
Being ported already doesn't mean anything, especially when stuff like Hyrule Warriors and Resident Evil 4 are on Switch. And yeah, we clearly aren't getting them soon, but we're talking about what ports could happen from now until the end of the Switchs life right? WW HD and TP HD are perfect filler for when Nintendo has blank spaces in the schedule they need to fill.
I don't expect Metroid Prime Trilogy to be released until less than 12 months before the launch of Metroid Prime 4.
I dont think its point only about fillers, but also about sales of games, Nintendo is having serious profit from selling ports/remasters on Switch,
we talking about small investment with big profit, and WW/TP HD would easily pass 3m in sales.

We got WWHD and TPHD to tide us over until BotW released and obviously that was well over a year. 3 full games in HD should be perfect to tide fans over until MP4.
I mean I still 100% believe it's coming, it's just not a Wii U game so it wouldn't be on a list of potential Wii U to Switch ports.
So regarding that paper printout "leak" from a few days ago that was seemingly confirmed due to Ice Age's release date announcement, people in the other thread are saying that Ice Age's release date had been known on Amazon since February. So we still have no confirmation if that list is real or fake.
I would really want Nintendo Land 2 to fulfill the potential of the series and make it an actual theme park builder, where you construct your own Nintendo Land, and all of the rides contain their own mini-game.
They released Bayonetta 1 + 2 at the start of 2018 though, and they must have known that Bayo 3 wasn't coming until after Astral Chain at the very least.
They charged more for a Tropical Freeze port than they did when the game newly released 5 years ago
I can see Dr. Luigi coming as an e-shop download when Luigi's Mansion 3 launches. Bundled together with a regular switch special edition as well.
Tbf, the port did have an extra Funky mode. Perhaps they thought Funky was worth additional $10.
Right? Like it's so dumb. I think people just want to rationalize why we haven't gotten it and have no other reason.
Why the hell would Nintendo release it right before and give people burnout? It should already be out. In fact, if it's been done for a while like the rumors state, it should've been out in a slow part of 2018 or the first half of 2019 with a big spotlight placed on it.
Thats three 20 hour games, give people time to settle down between the Trilogy and Prime 4 or they will get burned out.
Sure you want the games still on peoples minds for the sequel but you also don't want to have them be like "eh still haven't finished the second one or gotten to the thord one, I will buy 4 later"
Also Bayonetta.
