reactions to the fact that Nintendo's best 3D team is making the legendary "fucking Donkey Kong" is going to blow the original "fucking Donkey Kong" backlash out of the water imo

Must not have had a busy H1, huh?
lol that was also an attempt at the sort of overtly fake/unrealistic job title these things have

I don't know how they manage to be unrealistic and disappointing. I think it probably comes down to a lack of creativity

Some salty DK backlash could be entertaining
you think you want it now, but trust me you don't

Why would it? Didn't people learn anything from that kind of stupidity last time?

Anyways, I asked previously, but didn't get a response - What evidence is there pointing to the 3D Mario team making a 2D Donkey game?

I, for one, am very excited to make the "EPD Tokyo working on fucking Donkey Kong" thread when the announcement happens.

None.

One of the EPD teams was hiring for a 2D game in "the Mario universe" or something, some people have for whatever reason extrapolated that to indicate it's a Donkey Kong game. I can't remember exactly if it was the 3D Mario team or not but I guess it was.

much like with pikmin 3 deluxe, I'm going to be absolutely fucking pissed about donkey kong until it's announced and I think it's neat

edit: for context, I thought the name "deluxe" was dumb and also kind of wanted a trilogy instead

Kind sir, will you tell us if Mario Kart 19 is happening?
The only thing stopping Mario Kart 19 from happening is climate change in the next 50 years.

next year is not a skittzo year



we're looking at style savvy, pokemon snap, old ports, 3d kirby, donkey kong, nintendogs, i dunno fucken mario sports



there'll be breath of the wild 2 though



and splatoon 3 (not a spinoff)

Everything but Style Savvy and DKC interests me actually. Especially Pokemon Snap. And Old Ports (TM).

You might not like the games personally, but a lineup of...
  • Breath of the Wild 2
  • Metroid V
  • Donkey Kong Country 6
  • New Pokemon Snap
  • Monster Hunter
  • 3D World with substantial new content
  • Pokemon Remakes
automatically makes 2021 rival 2017 in terms of quality. And there's still a lot left out in terms of possibility and third party.

wait, so I was debating you and you had inside info the whole time? -_-
Hey, i'll try to make this as clear as possible without saying anything specific:

I don't know for certain if EPD Tokyo are working on Donkey Kong. That's my interpretation, so I could still be wrong and Odyssey 2 is up next from them.

Plus Splatoon something and No More Heroes 3 and probably Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime Trilogy and Bravely Default 2 and SMTV and so on...

Gonna be a mammoth year for software.

I haven't heard "Max" yet. Sits pretty well with me actually - I'm in favor of 2, Max or Plus in terms of revision naming.

Also it better not be Breath of the Wild 2. Ef that, give my phone a new acronym to memorize

The BotW sequel is guaranteed to be named Breath of the Wild 2

in Japan! We have Triforce of the Gods 2 as reference after all.

I know it's been prominently discussed, but Yabuki's Team (Mario Kart/ARMS) has got to have something next year, right? If it's still too soon to do a new Mario Kart, what if they try something similar, but mechanically unique with a new Diddy Kong Racing perhaps?

My favorite part is the Mario furniture being the last update for animal crossing. Has that 4chan "line item that was directly contradicted by a recent interview" feel.

2022 probably. Not a good idea to have so many titles in one year. 2022 won't be as slammed me thinks.

Bayo 3 has to be next year, right? I can't imagine it having a 5+ year dev cycle unless it was rebooted or it's scope has somehow ballooned massively.

I hope it is. The fact that this game is being produced from the ground up by Nintendo makes me very curious what it's budget and scope will look like compared the the second game which was partially developed before Nintendo stepped in.

GTA5 on Switch is the most unbelievable thing here.

I would think so, it has been in development for a good minute now. The fact that it's taking so long does interest me a little though, I get the feeling that they're going for something a little more ambitious this time around.

that one could happen, they technically never gave indication as to how long support will last

the thread's had this fight before

actually though
