Knowing Nintendo, I can't really see them working with massive teams. MercurySteam is ~100 people, Next Level Games is ~115 people etc. They aren't really in the business of making huge AAA productions in the first place, especially not with outside companies. With that in mind...
Gunfire Games seems to have a very Nintendo-like approach to game design and production judging by interviews with studiohead David L. Adams. Very focused on economical production and mechanics over presentation. At the same time, they make games that are very different from what Nintendo does in both gameplay and aesthetics so they'd be a good fit.
If Nintendo still wants to make F-Zero or revive Diddy Kong Racing, the team that made Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing Transformed at Sumo Digital would be my first pick.
I've also said it before but I'd have loved to see Nintendo work with THQ Nordic/Deep Silver. Volition (Saints Row) and Dambuster Studios (Homefront: The Revolution, former Free Radical Design people) would fill some glaring holes in the Switch lineup but I doubt that they would work on exclusive games with Nintendo.
Nice fan fiction you got there. Hope you find success with it.
I don't know if being drunk can lead to this, this is way to extreme. He/She must've consumed something way too powerful.
Wait, we're talking realistically here? I don't think we are, realistically Nintendo would never work with a western studio again.
Well really power doesn't matter when most third parties didn't even have a dev kit for the system till about 6 months before launch and even after. Like they really made some bone headed choices in how to approach third parties partly because they didn't want them at the time either compared to xbox/ps2.
So anyone know if Alexander Brandon is still working at Retro?

He has made som amazing soundtracks (Unreal, Deus ex etc) and would be a perfect fit for a Metroid soundtrack. Remember reading Metroid was even one of his big influences..

As we had discussed when this new originally broke, he was working in sound design for the majority of his recent career, not composing music. So assuming he's going to compose for a game of theirs should not be the first conclusion to jump to.
I just want something to come out before Yoshi on March 31st, which I'm not that excited for (I'm sure it'll be good, but nothing amazing). It seems unlikely we'll get anything from Nintendo before that date, but I'd love for SNES games to be added to Switch Online, or some indie games get announced that will be released late this month/early March.
It's possible we're getting an eshop title in February, possibly a Boxboy title.
WarioWare has always been a tech showcase franchise. Gimmicks are its identity at this point.

I love the WarioWare franchise (especially the first 5 with Sakamoto's team), and Smooth Moves multiplayer is one of the best party games ever.
So, assuming there's no unexpected sub-contracting or co-development like with Oracle of Ages or Wii Fit U, in 2019 EPD is likely to release:
-NSMBUDX (finished a while ago apparently, though)
-LABO 4 (likely already finished)
-Pikmin 3 port
-Animal Crossing
-Mario Maker 2
-2D Zelda
-Mario Kart Tour
That's a big jump from last year.

Yeah.. about that. Still, EPD should be on course to release much more in-house derived software this year. They did something interesting on the WIi U / 3DS. They had their prototype teams split-off development to contractors to finish (Steel Diver, Star Fox Zero, Wii Sports Club, etc.) That's an interesting approach moving forward.
Oh, I'm fully expecting at least one or more of them will be outsourced or co-developed.
I don't disagree with you, it's just that I love the initial WW GBA concept so much more.

Mario Maker 2?
the hell Tezuka and Miyamoto been doing since the remix 10 update for Super Mario Run?
It's going to be wild if the 3d Mario team pump out the next mainline game before the 2D team
Edit: damn...2019 is shaping to be solid AF. Looks my gcu is going out with a bang lol.

You mean a new 2D theme based on one of them or a 3D level maker??

I'll be busy for the rest of the year, so I won't have much spare time to participate on Era. So if you ping me or dm me -- don't expect a quick response anytime soon. I made one last final update to my post, and added eShop game #3. This is shaping up to be a big year for eShop digital releases.
Hope to talk to you all in 2020.

Your link doesn't link to your post.
Wait a second, weren't you a mod? Why are you a peasant now?
Didn't have time to be an administrator anymore. Needed more time for other things. With that said, I put in a lot of work and time into helping Cerium create this site (including the 2.0 update). So I hope this site and community continues to grow.
Thank you for the knowledge you brought us, and I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
Assuming that every "mystery title" is one that hasn't been announced yet, that's a lot of games to come, given that we already have Yoshi, FE, LM3, Animal Crossing, Daemon X Machina, and Pokemon 2019 filling out the rest of the year. I wouldn't mind if Nintendo kept some stuff for 2020 just to make sure that year has a full schedule, too.
Thanks for sharing this as always, Emily. I'm excited for those eShop releases and have missed them on Switch.
Emily said 4 was actually rebooted during its development.
Based on the rumours, my guesses...
The "Most likely" Nintendo-published game announcements for 2019. (70% chance or higher)
1. Mystery game #1 - 2D Zelda
2. Mystery game #2 - Mario Maker 2
3. Mystery game #3 - Nintendoworld or something of that ilk. Online focused whatever it is
4. Mystery game #4 - Has pokemon technically been 'announced' in the sense that it couldn't fill one of these slots? Otherwise I'm not sure
5. eShop game #1 - Boxboy
6. Mystery Wii U port #1 (2013 title) - Pikmin 3
7. eShop game #2 - Mario VS DK
8. eShop game #3 - ?
9. New Labo Kit - ?
The "Maybe" games for 2019. (The wild card titles - 50% chance or less)
10. Retro Studios secret game (this is assuming it wasn't canned) - Star Fox Grand Prix?
11. Metroid Prime Trilogy (assuming Zell's info and Imran's info are correct)
12. Mystery Wii U port #2 - W101 or SM3DW
So based on the info that has been shared with us, the best folks can hope for right now regarding The Wonderful 101 is that one of the unrevealed Platinum projects is a TW101 sequel that includes TW101 as an additional game like Bayonetta 2 did with Bayo 1, right? I don't really know if TW101 is a first party title but may aswell post it here.
I wanna see what the Octopath/Bravely dev team is making, too; Bravely could absolutely continue as its own thing or they could keep making 2DHD titles but I'd rather see something with the Bravely style before the next 2DHD title. This also reminds me: is Atlus even working on anything other than SMT V for the platform? I don't recall any other title being announced(There's the Persona 5 rumor)
I'm wondering if the ARMS team is working on a different game or sequel already, too.

They are, though they're probably working on something besides Mario Kart or ARMS right now alongside Mario Kart Tour if I had to guess. It's too soon for sequels for either franchise, especially on the Switch.
If by "miscommunication" you mean people interviewing and mistranslating Miyamoto.
I agree. We won't see Mario Kart 9 any time soon. Probably not until their next platform as a launch game.
If there also isn't mk8d dlc then, that would suck. Mk8 is incredible, but I literally can play the game with my eyes closed at this point.
