This makes too much sense. It would be a great way to introduce new players to the series and it would reduce the waiting pain for fans.

They looked great but what I meant was super ultra melt your face high detail resolution farmed out to twenty different studios because you need a million and 2 pieces. As per my example.
It's all people ever talk about because we'll never know until they tell us and then it's out within 6 months and then 3-4 years of silence again.
A lot of the worlds were pretty small and a ton of the moons were what I would describe as "copy paste" moons where you do the same basic (sometimes very simple) activities to get multiple moons.
This sounds like a weird criticism when talking about Nintendo.
They've been pushing like crazy for 60fps for more than a decade, which is somehow baffling as well considering they could have opted to go for 30fps during the Wii generation, to lessen the huge visual gap between that and PS360.
But they chose not to and continue doing so, and frankly, I'm happy to see them prioritizing frame rate and tight controls as much as possible.
(mind you, the same could be argued for the Switch too!)
We will most likely NOT get a new MK exactly because Nintendo likes money.
MK8D is among the best selling Switch games as it is, what makes you think Nintendo wants to spend money developing a brand new title when they can continue selling one that (almost) nobody played and thus IS, in fact, basically... the New Mario Kart?
the earliest we will see a new MK is 2020.
Nintendo Kart? Maybe 2019.
And by the way, we didn't progress to far since mario Kart 8, MK9 wouldn't look much different.
Im getting a bit more nervous about this year.
I had a wii U. Im not aware of any First Party Game this year that Im interested in (Except Fire Emblem).
There were just to many Kirby games in the last few years, and only canvas curse hat a unique new art style.
If they don't announce something, they probably expect third party's to hold 2018 while they work on there 2019 line up.
For now the first half only has Dark souls and some indies for me.
Regarding MP: I don't expect it 2018, and Im not sure if the trilogy would be a good idea.
On the one hand, it could boot the interest in MP4, on the other, if mp4 is to removed from the gameplay of the old ones it could end in a backlash for the 4. entry.

I like the Switch and Nintendo did a better job in terms of hardware and software. It seems like they have the first time in their history a longtime strategy.
But I think they still don't understand online services. And I don't think that they will do it right in switch lifetime.

I meant in terms of budget. People have this weird perception of Metroid Prime being some ultra high-budget game series which makes no sense with a fiscally conservative company like Nintendo.
The opposite is also true I think, I mean, this is no subpar stuff outsourced to an obscure developer.
Nintendo is clearly allocating budget according to its sales expectations: I have no idea about Metroid Prime 4 by the way (basically all we have is a logo) but Prime 1-3 and probably Other M too seem mid-to-high production values stuff to me... mid-to-high for Nintendo. :-D
Sure. I think it's close to those Bethesda "boutique" games like Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Prey etc. with the added benefit of no platform license fees.
Maybe instead of the Mario Kart team making Mario Kart 9 or ARMS 2 for Switch, they might do a new F-Zero game....
Finally bring F-Zero back!

I wasn't talking about Nintendo but companies in general. Nintendo has always been the cut above, opting for stability when they can. Kirby, though, is a decision by HAL. If Nintendo made the game, I doubt there would never be a 30fps Kirby game (I also think they'd be far more imaginative than HAL's games, but I digress)
Fair enough, that surely is something I can agree on!
But I also have to add that people should temper their expectations: it seems to me they *never* learn, as clearly shown by the recurring threads about widespread, or even standardized 60fps... but that's likely just me getting older and older (and grumpy, lol)
Yep, that seems a reasonable guess... heck, it wouldn't surprise me if we discovered it's actually less.
NateDrake said media got/going to place some games under NDA from Nintendo. I'm hoping Mario Tennis Aces is one of them and we get more info.
Oohhhh I like this piece of info. I want to see Daisy in action, hopefully in a new tennis visor!
Stop. That makes sense with the open spot in the Nintendo Direct page in Japan. It would've been filled in February...
Edit: Now I'm confused about the 5.0 update because that was fake unless I'm not reading the tweet properly.
Lmao some dude put the "Batman sign" out to alert Marcus Sellers. This dude goes around acting like he has sources is a meme at this point.

if you read every 10th letter of that tweet it spells mother
Wasn't the 5.0 update a fake? Or am I misreading this tweet?
that's exactly what people said about jesus in the early days.
IGN people unenthused: Donkey Kong Odyssey
IGN people enthused: Super Peach Galaxy
Cinematic linear 3D Platformer over 3D open world platformer as a genre O_O
Peach over Donkey Kong as a character and character potential O_O

I mean there will be a 5.0 update inevitably. So yeah it was fake but 5.0 has to be soon regardless.
Weren't all those rumors about the 5.0 update fake?
I do have hope we get a Direct on February. Get the hype train rolling!

He is saying that the real 5.0 update was delayed to February, that's why we had a Mini Direct in January
I see what you're saying. This 5.0 update is kind of big and if it's real that's two weeks. No other insider here got this info? It'd be nice if someone could say they heard this or not.
Oh I get it now, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
It's honestly a no brainer move, from a business perspective. Relatively low cost for return, compared to a brand new game and it would give many people an introduction to the series.
It would be somewhat baffling to see Prime 4 release without the trilogy. The only way I can see it not happening is if Nintendo does change the marketing and title away from 4, to more of a soft reboot of Prime. If they want players to realize they are doing something different with the series maybe don't give them a giant reminder of what Prime used to be.
Regardless I do think though Prime trilogy will happen at some point.
Well the first 6 months are big "pass" for most Wii U owners. Although to be fair Bayonetta 2 sold like ass on the Wii U, so maybe we see people buy games they passed on before.
I think 3rd party titles and whatever new first party stuff they have will be strong enough in the 2nd half for most people to be okay overall with the year.
...should we tell the romans to... you know... do something about it?
Peach is scrub tier, Super Rosalina Universe pls. Space Mom deserves her own shit
I mean just because that 5.0 update was fake doesn't mean another one is.
I mean, the will be a 5.0 update
Until we get more rumors from credible sources than just 1 unknown source in regards to an upcoming Nintendo Direct, I don't want to waste time looking around.
The insiders have all been silent due to the ninjas, I bet. They seem to be upping the game, since we got no indication of Nintendo Labo.
R-reset the clock?
12-15th does make sense, if they want to (and should) promote Bayonetta before it releases.
we've reset the clock to less reasons than a twitter that's probably bullshitting. and Bayonetta aint gonna get much promo aside from "Bayo will be out February Whenever". probably with less than 30 seconds of footage
It's bullshit.
They don't even talk about firmware in Nintendo directs anymore.
This thread stopped being a reasonable place a long long time ago.
I really enjoy the educated/informed speculation about what Nintendo's development schedule could look like for the future, what developers could conceivably be working on, but I think all the "endless Direct/E3 megaton hypetrain" "check out this unsourced twitter rumour" "is Retro/MP4 actually DOOMED???" talk is really taking things offcourse from what was originally intended.
Agreed. Pre-Switch, this thread was pretty slow but it was mostly fairly well educated discussion about internal projects building off of whatever insights Ninja could get us or when new stuff was made public. :/
I think now we're just starved for news and looking for the place to discuss the tiniest rumors because apparently we can't in the actual Switch rumor thread
this thread is just nintendo shitposting general now. nothing wrong with that. there's only so much to talk about what the 10-15 teams/studios are up to
