Damn that's a good point lol. I forgot Captain Toad has DLC now. So maybe there's a chance for Super Mario Party to get dlc. I'll probably give it until E3 too. I could see a September Direct announcement too.

Yeah I do agree the ship has sailed for Odyssey since it's a primarily single player offline game but SMP is still relatively new. I'd even say they could still do a big DLC package/expansion for MK8D at this point considering how much that game has sold and will continue to sell, but Odyssey's ideas are going to be in a sequel and not DLC.
We have some evidence of Zelda for 2020 and I would say 3 years should be enough time to develop a new 3D Mario if they use the existing Odyssey base. I also wonder if Yabuki and his team or the directors of Splatoon will attempt a new IP again, both were quite successful and seem to have loved working in those games.
What would be your bet if they go for a Splatoon Spin-Off? I'm personally split between RPG or some kind of rhythm game.
Yeah I don't see a purpose of bringing MK9 to Switch. They can focus on some dlc. That Mario Kart team I want to see do more things like ARMS. Work on other IP's or new IP's and some MK dlc.
Related to the Platinum purchase thread, as long as Platinum and Nintendo have a constant stream of game partnerships like Astral Chain, Bayonetta 3, & Wonderful 101, I'll be quite happy. They don't need to buy them. Maybe a Next Level Games like exclusive partnership, but I'll be more than happy with having a consistent flow of 1-2 games at a time. I loooove what they're doing showing with Astral Chain
It's honestly not in Nintendo's interest to release all those games in one year. I know we got BotW, MK8D, Splatoon 2 and SMO all in 2017, but I think the circumstances there were very different — Nintendo needed the Switch to be a success and fast, and they already had multiple games that started development on Wii U that were pushed back for more appealing hardware.
A Mario Kart 8 dlc would be good for the beginning of 2020 since those are dead months. It's good spread out the "reasons" have Nintendo online. If someone sees MK8 dlc in the beginning of the year, then another online game they like get dlc a few months later then more dlc for another game at the end of the year, it'll make them decide to just get the year subscription.
Stuff like Tetris 99 is good. It's an exclusive for online members only. More of that is good. Just pace your exclusives and dlc and people will want a full year of the subscription.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Imran mentioned on the Kinda Funny Gamescast that Nintendo is reviving a game that was "thought to be dead," that was "very publicly cancelled." I honestly have no idea at what this could be, unless it's Project HAMMER back from the graveyard.

A crashmo/Pushmo game was cancelled.
Tho I don't think it's that one. But it is something IS mentioned.
Sadness?? This is going to create some nice discussions now. Time to do some research!
Yeah I highly doubt he's talkin about some eShop game...
Wonder if it's even a Nintendo IP / first party game. It doesn't mention if it's first or third party.
There aren't many games that Nintendo very publicly cancels.
Not to mention, that game was never publically cancelled, because it was never publically announced.
Project HAMMER is definitely at the top of the list if it's Nintendo. I can't think of any other games Nintendo has canceled.
There's Retro Studios projects that were canceled, but that was forever ago like Raven Blade.

After a bit of research, there just aren't that many options for publicly-cancelled Nintendo games, so Project HAMMER is at the top of the list. If it really has been revived, though, why? From Liam Robertson's reporting, the game was fundamentally unfun.
I just had a thought. What if it's Scalebound? That would be insane. That game was "very publicly cancelled," and Nintendo has good relationships with both PlatinumGames and Microsoft.
Imran never stated if it's first party or third party. He just says Nintendo revived and it was officially dead. What would Nintendo revive that was third party and dead?
It can't be some garbage like Steep. It has to be something bigger or something like a Bayonetta 2 how Nintendo came in for that. What third party games were in a Bayonetta 2 state, but officially canceled
Idk Imran seemed kind of happy. He could've just been happy in general, but I wonder if he's happy nintendo revived what this game is.

Steep was announced though?

Edit: Nevermind, misread.
Scalebound is good if Nintendo and MS worked something out. What about Star Wars 1313. Is that something Nintendo could revive?
It's a joke about a game that was publicly announced and cancelled. Of course it isn't steep, nobody will win there.
What if the Steep Switch port was revived and remade into a new 1080° game?
lol
Just look at this list. I'm looking at current gen systems like Xbox One has Scalebound or maybe Star Wars 1313. Agent from Rockstar? Sadness?

Another important factor is that Imran thinks the revival is unexpected. (I'm unironically calling Scalebound for now since that's the most public video game cancellation in recent memory.)
Him saying something that's very much "officially canceled" really gives Scalebound the edge. That game everyone knows was canceled.
"A title that's dead and buried and no one would've expected". This is how I feel with Bayonetta 2. It's something way out of Nintendo's realm of work and I think this game Imran is hinting is the same league n

Yep. Mega Man Legends 3 is also possible, and probably more plausible since Nintendo wouldn't have to wrangle the IP from Microsoft and could just work something out with their buddy, Capcom.
Oh man I forgot about Silent Hills from a few years ago. This EXACTLY fits the "Bayonetta 2" mold of something Nintendo would revive. It's a horror game and Nintendo doesn't do those. Plus it's a bigger IP.
Nintendo showed Konami how Bomberman could sell and I used to think this meant Nintendo could get more out of Konami.

Maverick Hunter by Retro studios lol
Honestly, Nintendo doesn't officially cancel a ton of games. It's always internal and we find out super later on or some one finds out about it through research.

Yep. Liam Robertson jumped on the Microsoft X Nintendo train a week or so ago. Maybe a joint revival of Scalebound for Switch, XB1/next-gen Xbox, and PC will be announced at E3.
That could fit as well, but Kojima is close to Sony, so I would expect SIE to be reviving Silent Hills, not Nintendo. Then again, Imran said the revival would be unexpected...
Has a situation like Scalebound being rebooted by Nintendo ever happened before? MS owns all the rights to the game and the assets. Not to mention it ran like ass on Xbox so even if Nintendo somehow revived the project it would have to be seriously reworked. I can't imagine it being worth the effort when they can just fund another original Platinum ip like Astral Chain. It has to be Megaman Legends 3.
They're going to revive the scrapped OG Xbox remake of the original Banjo-Kazooie.
Please. The original idea they had for it would've been cool
the characters would slowly realise they were in a remake of the original game, and would try to alter how the events of the game played out.
My order is
1) Silent Hills
2) Scalebound
3) Megaman Legends 3
4) Project HAMMER
5) Sadness from the Wii

Scalebound is impossible due to Microsoft owning the franchise and all its assets made.
Ravenblade
Megaman Legends 3
Project HAMMER
Are the most probable revivals I can think of right now that aren't complete left field like "omg I could never have expected EA to work with Nintendo on an exclusive Star Wars 1313" (will never happen lol).
Star Wars 1313, Silent Hills, Scalebound
Ain't gonna happen
Ravenblade
Megaman Legends 3
Project HAMMER

It's the Bandai Namco Metroid Prime 4
Sorry Ravenblade is a joke answer imo. Some near 20 year old game that didn't even look good I doubt imran would talk about. You're telling me all of a sudden he knows what Retro Studios is working on? We've had tons of discussions on how quiet they've been and Starfox is probably fake.
At this point, I'm just going to assume that Metroid Prime 4 is the only Retro Studios game in the pipeline until we hear otherwise from Nintendo.
Jet Set Radio by Headstrong that was pitched for Wii?
Cry On by Mistwalker and Cavia fits also.
