Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT8| Begun, The Nintendo Has

I was really thinking and hoping we would get something Mother for Switch. Earthbound Beginnings and Earthbound still haven't released online. They could be saving them to celebrate and release them sometime this year.
My hope was all the Mother games would get fully remade.

you probably already know, but just in case when you're buying the spray you need one with a tiny little nozzle that you can place under the plastic hood.
Yeah I'd love to know what plans Nintendo has for the DK series, it could really go anywhere at this point.
Remaking 3 full games requires plenty of time and resources, I mean we got only remake of Zelda AW that Nintendo is selling it for $60.
And you can't really remaster NES/SENS top down game (I mean you cant but will still look bad), you need to do full remake like Zelda AW is.
they don't have to remaster them. just a rom collection like the one mana got would have been fine. of course a full remake is a bigger deal with bigger sales potential, but since it's just 3 games and with Itoi saying there won't be a 4th, i think all three games in the series deserve to be playable in one place.
Don't do this. Pls.
This is almost guaranteed to be fake, but if it were real it could possibly explain why Earthbound is conspicuously absent from the SNES online app.
This isn't happening, but if it did I wouldn't worry about it coming to the west at this point.
What was the last time a nintendo game didn't come to the west? The wii era?
Let's pray for the best with the Famicom Detective Club remakes!
Super Mario Odyssey, Smash Ultimate, and of course Breath of the Wild.
Well, it came West, but the new Brain Training didn't release on US. Also the Famicom Tantei Cub remakes are announced only for Japan.
4Chan leaks are the best leaks. There is alot of junk on there, but sometimes 1 in a million times there is a true one on there and then everyone goes 'Aah its fake'' , but after the announcement it is revealed that is was correct :P
Wait, what?
I've always had the impression Nintendo/Epic/whatever is in charge of those things did almost everything right from the beginning, so it actually was NOT the case?
Honest question.
I've talked to a few devs, and they seemed pretty fine with it. Not sure what he means.
Theres no native support for UE3 though, maybe thats what he's thinking of.
2016, with the Momotaro Densetsu game on 3DS that Nintendo had made.
So far, all first party games on Switch have been translated into English.
Eh. UE4 was Switch compatible, but that doesn't mean it was the best it was ever going to be. And even if it were completely compatible, that does not mean every game that uses it would run fine on Switch.
It wasn't until Epic was a few updates into optimizing Fortnite on Switch that UE4 really started performing well on the console. It's actually what Square Enix says caused the delay for DQXI, they just had to wait until the engine got better.

We asked the RPG giant what's happening with the Nintendo versions of the game.

UE4 didn't have official Switch support until early 2018 IIRC and it was really only when Epic brought Fortnite to Switch that they started taking it seriously.
It obviously wasn't unusable before that(Snake Pass came shortly after launch) but I imagine lot of developers just wouldn't have wanted to bother.
Notice how the only actual facts in that Mother 4chan rumor is only things derived from previous stuff. "Link's Awakening artstyle", "clay like the original art", "ties with hobinichi project". It's always one of the bigger tell something is fake, when it doesn't say anything new.
Breath of the Wild
Splatoon 2
Smash Ultimate (Or Mario Kart 8 if they don't like fighters)
That one did look quite rough, though. I can see where SE's DQXI team were coming from when making the comments on having a better UE4 version running on the Switch as the game's necessary foundation.
UE4 has been a godsend for switch (and honestly, japanese developers in general). Octopath, Yoshi, DQXIS, etc.
i hope SMTV impresses as well.

I mean, yeah, they could put them through Nintendo Online similar like they been available on previous Nintendo platforms through Virtual Console service,
but I would think they want to make big physical current Switch release instead of small eShop release, and remake is only option for something like that.
Yeah, agreed.
I mean, we now live in a timeline where the 'Synder cut' exists (albeit, not in the form many were expecting), so anything is possible, but this 'leak' has way too many red flags:
- The timing is way too convenient, suddenly emerging after the PollyAnna Hobinichi book was officially announced.
- Link's Awakening artstyle is an easy jump, as everyone (myself included) would make that assumption.
- Specific date for the announcement seems very unlikely (especially as it's, again, an easy date to throw in - the last day of what would have been E3)
It all reads like a person trying to make it sound as plausible as possible.
Regarding insiders, I got the impression that after Mother 3, many insiders have backed off Mother related rumours due to how rabid the fanbase got around that time.
I still suspect there *is* some form of Earthbound Remake on the cards (and the games are conspicuous by their absence on the Nintendo Online service, which – for me, at least – is a sign that Nintendo has something planned, much like the Donkey Kong titles), but this specific rumour isn't it.
you're probably right, but i think they could have gotten away with a $40 rom collection (physical and digital release) :/
personally i think the reason 1 and 2 aren't on NSO yet is because they have some plans for the series on switch.
Agree, absent of Mother/Earthbound and DK games from Nintendo Online is very strange,
Nintendo definitely has "some" plans regardless them.
My point also, they most likely have some plane with those games.

about DKC... the obvious move is doing a trilogy remake, Crash/Spyro style. just remake the games in the 2.5D style of tropical freeze.

Nintendo doesn't care to do anything for DK lol. That's probably a Microsoft thing or just wanting to spread out the bigger SNES titles. Earthbound I can definitely see something bigger is going on there.
That would also explain why these games are missing from the SNES online app.
that's just tradition
remember when they never put Earthbound on the Wii VC
do MS/Rare have any ownership over the original DKC trilogy? i thought that was only for the original Rare IPs like Perfect Dark/Banjo/etc.
Yes, Phil said it in an interview how Microsoft worked with Nintendo for getting the DK games. So, Microsoft has some slight ownership.
Just the fact that the games display the Rare logo means Nintendo would have to get a licensing agreement with Microsoft.
I don't think the timing of the releases matter much to Namco. They released Naruto UNS4 two years after the Collection, still anything happen I guess. Plus Tekken 7 is still getting content, it would be easier to port the game as while whole package.
Spyro and Crash are 3D games, DK SNES Trilogy are 2D games,
there is no need for remake, remaster (1080p with few extra touches) would be more than enough for them.
SNES era (even NES era) 2D platformers, aged quite well.
They were not available on Wii VC, but they were available on Wii U VC.
DK Trilogy games were on Wii and Wii U VC, so hardly could have something with Microsoft.
Thing is, that they already released all best NES and SNES games long time ago on Nintendo Online, only Mother/Earthbound and DK games basically left.
interesting. the probably could work out something if they wanted to, just like they did with DKC1 on SNES mini, but maybe they can't be bothered :/
...are you sure? those games are made using pre-rendered sprites and are honestly kinda ugly. i doubt a remaster would be good enough.
