time to speculate Next Level's next game. I still think they're assisting on Metroid Prime 4
Donkey Kong Country Returns 3 so Retro can finish their IP and Metroid Prime 4.

The art wasn't the big issue.
Also the game didn't chart because the movie was popular, it was because it was so bad people wanted to experience the actual game to get the bad taste from the movie out of their mouths, or at least that's what some people have said.
Not that any of this matters, I was just pointing out that remaking the game now to capitalize on the movie hype is a non starter.
I could see it.Donkey Kong Country Returns 3 so Retro can finish their IP and Metroid Prime 4.
I could see it.
It's been a previous discussion, but to me DK is still Nintendo's 2nd biggest platformer mascot, but its immediate future seems murky in comparison
It would be crazy to not have a new DK game during the switch's life.
so It'll happen imo, the question is What and Who.
What form (2D, 3D, or different gameplay altogether)
Who developing (Monster Games, Retro after MP4, NLG, Internal Nintendo, Good-Feel-unlikely, or a 3rd party collaboration)
what about next level doing that Single Player bigger budget (not AAA) game people clamor for here?
I keep hearing that echoed.
but then when NLG comes up it becomes "mario strikers" and "punchout" lol.
like wait what.
Speaking of LA, I wonder if Grezzo is basically 100% of the development with some Nintendo supervision, or if they ratio is different.
(we'll find out in the credits I suppose)
The reason for asking is I'm still surprised they are getting out an HD game (remake, but still) in 2019, after a 3DS port of LM in 2018, and a new 3DS IP in 2017.
That's pretty efficient.
And if they're doing basically 100% of LA, that makes me curious what the can handle going forward.
WhatI hated FF XIII, so I'm not really surprised. Also, the games are gigantic (the first game had around 40gb)
Bioshock, the one with Lightning, Snow, and the gang!
Was Xenoblade a new IP? I thought it was spun off from Xenosaga1) There's a reason I always say EPD because of their pedigree. Monolith Soft did make a new single player IP in 2010 with Xenoblade, but even then that's a while back.
It's a new IP. IP is purely a legal term, and it literally can't be treated as the same IP as Xenosaga since Bandai Namco holds the right to that.Was Xenoblade a new IP? I thought it was spun off from Xenosaga
It's a new IP. I played the all of the Xenosaga games and they aren't related. It might share some themes or imagery, but that's it. Xenoblade was actually called Monado The Beginning or something like that before they changed it to Xenoblade.Was Xenoblade a new IP? I thought it was spun off from Xenosaga
It's legally its own thing.Was Xenoblade a new IP? I thought it was spun off from Xenosaga
The new Plants vs. Zombies game looks pretty fun. Too bad it won't come to Switch because EA
Maybe Bowser just likes Apex Legends lolBefore E3 Direct, someone here noticed that Doug Bowser started following Respawn leads and Apex Legends official twitter accounts (Bowser's corporate account, he only follows those who related to Nintendo).
Maybe Bowser is trying to patch things up with EA? I don't know what exactly happened between those two but it was so bitter that EA refused some easy money. It's not gonna be easy to convince EA.

still banking on the medieval game being a Xenoblade X successor. possibly with more online stuff to do than just bossesLet's pray that Monolith truly does have a new single player IP coming atleast. It's good for us, the fans, and them.
😑 I wouldn't mind a XCX successsor. I'd prefer a new IP though.still banking on the medieval game being a Xenoblade X successor. possibly with more online stuff to do than just bosses
I haven't played Xenoblade X but from what I've seen unless it's some massive spoiler, I wouldn't say "medieval" describes that game...still banking on the medieval game being a Xenoblade X successor. possibly with more online stuff to do than just bosses
I feel like if retro was japanese, it would have 2. Agree about k.rool. He needs to be in a new main line dk game, either dkc or a 3d game, soon.It really is time for K.Rool back in DK. It sucks so fucking hard there isn't a dedicated DK team. Yoshi has Good Feel. Kirby with HAL and Mario with EPD. DK is left out. I want the DK games to stick with a western developer though. DKC was created by Rare and continued by Retro.
I would love if Retro became a 2 game studio and had one team dedicated to 2D/3D DK games. I feel like the IP is too big to not have a dedicated team or just something to have consistent releases.
It's not medieval so it would make no sense. It's a sci-fi game. I don't see it being any type of successor because I see a completely different battle system coming, and of course a new setting meaning it's a new IP with no ties to the "Xeno" name.I haven't played Xenoblade X but from what I've seen unless it's some massive spoiler, I wouldn't say "medieval" describes that game...
I'm talking from an online perspective. as in, what's in the medieval game is Monolith following up the online systems they built up for Xenoblade X, which felt like there was to be more mechanics but was cut. didn't one of the pre-release trailers show some player characters flying around the world?I haven't played Xenoblade X but from what I've seen unless it's some massive spoiler, I wouldn't say "medieval" describes that game...
>frostbite on SwitchIt seems Plants vs Zombies is indeed coming to Switch, as the guy who leaked the trailer claims.
>frostbite on Switch
I'll believe it when I see it. this being first but not Fifa or Madden makes me doubtful
Any chance of Xenoblade 1 coming to Switch? I desperately want to play the game, but I'd rather not play it on Wii/Wii U VC. Those are stored away.
Man, I wish the virtual console was still a thing.

Is the September Direct usually where they showcase their biggish games for next year?

reads like production manager.Oh boy Retro just added they're looking for a Director of Development.
I guess MP4 isn't coming out until 2030. Jk
But is this a regular Director for a game? Or a different type of Director for developing staff?
given Good Feel has done 2 yoshi's and the port, they're more the same level as Retro.It really is time for K.Rool back in DK. It sucks so fucking hard there isn't a dedicated DK team.

What do you mean?Guess EA isn't completely opposed to Switch support, which makes their stance on The Sims 4 even more strange...
The guy who leaked the Garden Warfare 3 trailer said he saw a Switch logoWhat do you mean?
I've ben browsing up and down the front page looking for an announcement of something, but to no avail. What did I miss?
Oh I see.The guy who leaked the Garden Warfare 3 trailer said he saw a Switch logo
I mean, that's 100% an EA move. they're only doing enough to say they aren't Dreamcasting the thingOh I see.
Hope it's true. Though maybe it would be fun to post in a thread where some people would adamantly tell you that EA is 100% correct in not putting Garden Warfare on a console with Splatoon userbase.
DK is the IP that has suffered the most in sales numbers due to Nintendo's handling of it. It was a pretty consistent 5+ million seller in the 90s and on par with Mario and Zelda as one of their biggest first party franchises. Now we are seeing it sell roughly on par with Kirby, a series that sees several more titles and promotions.
They inconceivably don't invest in it at all for as iconic of an IP as it is. In the 2000s I wouldn't say they did great with it, since there were no new mainline games, but at least they put in an effort with all the spinoffs. EAD, Namco, Paon, and Rare were all doing games in the series. Now it is confined to Retro who's Metroid game won't see the light of day until at least 2022.
Dkcr sold by far more than any kirby game, nearly 6 million...and 3 mill for the port.DK is the IP that has suffered the most in sales numbers due to Nintendo's handling of it.

currently, DK is selling less than, or just as much as Kirby is what he was saying. In totality.Dkcr sold by far more than any kirby game, nearly 6 million...and 3 mill for the port.
for sure. DK can definitely be near a 10m franchise again. It just needs the right entry.,DKCR sold over 5 million on the Wii though. The potential is there. I firmly believe a new DK game on Switch would sell closer to 10 million than 5, especially if it's a 3D platformer.
