I would ask them if I could.
But then again, this Namco. I have zero trust in them and you might be right, DS2 might have never existed. Tales of Arise isn't coming to Switch after Vesperia, Kakarot isn't coming after DBFZ, I wouldn't be surprised if there is no DS2 at all.
They mentioned The Stretchers (and the M&L remakes, if the 3DS is included); I was just trying to get clarification on the other game they were referring to.
Nintendo should remake Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World. Don't bother making new 2D games in those series either.
Don't even joke about that shit. Yoshi's Island is basically a perfect game as is.
Super Metroid is my #2 of all time, and as a huge fan I personally don't think it needs a remake. But I don't think a remake would be a bad thing for 2 reasons:
1.The original is available on the SNES, Switch, SNES Classic, N3DS, Wii, and Wii U. A remake wouldn't undo that and I'll still have my pixel perfect 1994 game.
2. Since it's such a well designed game, adding new HD art style and $60 price tag is fairly safe, easy money for Nintendo.
If Nintendo is wondering if there's a market for 2D Metroid on the Switch, a Super Metroid remake has the best chance of proving that. It's relatively low risk, but if doesn't sell well, then there's not really a market for $60 2D Metroid games.
So in short, if an SM remake keeps the franchise strong, fine. I think that it makes sense for their business, even if I don't think the game needs remaking.

You're good to make one! Too much responsibility for me to keep up with an OT. Haha.
Edit: Also, Muzy private messaged me back in the day to make OT2. I don't think anyone's feeling will be hurt if you make OT3.
Now imagine that same game, but done again, by Arzest! Of course, they'd bring back the music team from Yoshi's New Island.
Yeah I love Yoshi's Island. It took me awhile, but I realized it's better than Super Mario World.
There's a chance both could hit in the same year, knowing Nintendo - they did just push NMSBUDX and Mario Maker 2 in less than 6 months.
I don't think Muzy will care if you make a new thread on your own, but I'm not Muzy, so I must maintain at least some level of uncertainty.
I'm willing to wait, sure. If somebody else hops in, I only hope that they use the title "Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT3| Nintendo Direct Speculation Trilogy HD," the rightful winner of the strawpoll as far as I can tell
Yeah, they could do anything at this point. They did pretty much release Metroid Prime and Fusion the same day.
So is January when we should expect a new direct? I'm looking forward to Xenoblade Definitive Edition and Animal Crossing New Horizons. Any rumors or leaks recently?
Would be a pretty weird decision though to cannibalize your own tiny franchise for no reason whatsoever.
If there's a general direct in January there's only 2 days it can be. It'll either be January 15th (Wednesday) or January 16th (Thursday).
IIRC Muzy needs to request the thread closed, right?
lol I have the 15th as a pie-in-the-sky suggestion in my OT3 draft
omg page 400! it's been fun.
still tho, it's kinda sad how this thread has kinda killed the 1st party thread.

heck of a pair of directs tho
the E3 direct was meh besides smash and zelda
The 15th is the most optimal date.
As I've said before in the past 5 years NO general Nintendo Direct happens in the second half of a month. 5 straight years of Nintendo Directs and none has even been later than the 14th of a month. The 15th is a Wednesday and 16th is a Thursday. Thursday is over half the month, but since they do Directs on Wednesday or Thursday I figured it'd be fine. The 8th or 9th could possibly work. It is CES week so they don't do general directs during that time, but they did do the Mini January 2018 Direct then.

in theory the 1st party thread would discuss production teams and directors, and producers and such, while the Direct thread would strictly focus on the marketing side. In other words, the 1st party thread would speculate on what games are going to get made, while the Direct thread would speculate on when and how we'll find out about them. Unfortunately, that line is quite vague.
This was the best Nintendo Direct Speculation topic so far because we had very good directs during this time period.
