for some reason I thought I typed global launch not release but I do think it'd get atleast an eshop release everywhere but its also not something I'd see them giving priority for a global launch sadly
I think Sakurai enjoys being self-employed to a certain degree and the development of Kid Icarus was apparently a pretty shitty experience for him but I don't think that's a reason for them to not try again.
New Pokemon Snap is "available now"...

Apparently, they didn't update the placeholder date, which is set to December 31, 2020.

I don't play racing games but I like Nitro Fueled's roster philosophy more than Mario Kart 8's
To be fair, Mario Kart 8 is a 2014 game, you can't really compare them :D
What do you all predict will be your most played game that releases in 2021? Mine will most likely be Monster Hunter Rise. I would say BotW2 but that will probably be released too late in the year to lead the pack.
So I have one of these guys:
which comes with the stand and not the mesh pocket, so I'm only able to fit in the two game card holders (8 games) + 1 game in the Switch.
I now am getting my tenth game, which means I need to get more cases, does anyone have this same carrying case that can also fit another (slim) card holder? Need ideas, would be fine getting a larger card holder and just carrying that separately from the carrying case, but thinking maybe there's enough room left where I won't need to do that.

That's kind of an indicator that game's getting a big revamp. Its name will probably get changed too and they'll create a new page for the game. I think this is the reason they "forgot" to update the date.
BotW 2 could release in December and it would still be my most played game of the year.
Even as somebody who prefers Crash to Mario, I think Mario Kart is better than CTR, at least Wii/8 are.
CTR loses too much by being in 30 fps to me. Mario Kart just feels much smoother to play in 60 fps. And I think track/roster wise they're pretty even, so CTR doesn't really have any advantages over Mario Kart for me besides the adventure mode which isn't a huge deal tbh.

To be fair though, maybe they had some ideas during development of Splatoon 2 or the DLC that they looked at and decided it was big enough to branch off into its own game. There's sort of precedent for that with Captain Road's Treasure Tracker. Or hell, it could be something as simple as designing something like the skate park and throwing around ideas for a Splatoon skating game. You're right that I doubt they sat down with the intention to figure out what sort of spinoff they could make, but I don't think it's unreasonable to imagine that ideas could have popped up naturally that led to the development of a spinoff.
Also Animal Crossing people make Happy Home designer which is a spin-off and I think they made Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival (not sure on this one), so there's precedent within the AC/Splatoon group already.
Yep they did Amiibo Festival. So that's 2 spinoffs made by the main Animal Crossing team.
As someone who's more of a fan of the Mario Expanded Universe (MEU for short) The Mario crossover games basically having zero reference to anything not from the main platformers besides like Diddy Kong and Funky that one time is real disappointing to me
if i cant have Luigi, Lanky Kong and Jimmy T all in the same game whats even the point of a Mario crossover
Just make the Splatoon spin-off a longer version of Octo Expansion. Everyone loved OE, so I don't see them refusing to build off that.
Didn't we hear that Nintendo are making mobile games less of a priority? My assumption was that we wouldn't get any new apps and they would just keep supporting the existing ones, but we'll see. If we got any more of them Zelda would probably be first in line.
Let me guess. You don't actually play as Mario. Instead Mini Mario toy robots with Cappy on.
And it's not the real DK character that he possesses. It's the Mini versions of them.
And it's not actually made by EPD at all. It's made by NST.
We're getting another god damn Mario vs DK game, aren't we. Man I can't get rid off this awful disease of DK pessimism...
Hmm. I mean I wouldn't complain if they didn't do mobile games lol.
Living out your nightmare lol
If Splatoon spin off is made by EPD (which it would totally be), it would be made by EPD5!
The 2D action game was specifically a recrutement for EPD Tokyo !
Partner Showcases are very explicitly for third parties, not second-party development partners. Only a true outside collaboration like Cadence of Hyrule would be viable for a Partner Showcase.
At this point it barely matters anymore. We got Hyrule Warriors news, Buddy Mission BOND announcement, Part Time UFO (Switch version is published by Nintendo) and Boxing Fit 2 (announcement or news, forgot) in Partner Directs.
Not that I expect a Fire Emblem announcement in a Partner though. They would rather announce it on Youtube and Twitter rather than in a Partner Direct imo. But at this point it's not clear what can or what can't be shown at a Partner Direct, apart from Nintendo owned studios' games. Many first party games have been shown in Partner Directs.
Age of Calamity, Part Time UFO and Buddy Mission BOND were in the last one.
I would like another Slay The Spire in a Nintendo character style. Or just bigger budget/production.
I said this a few days ago. Image and Form doing a Steamworld Heist, but for Metroid. They make Steamworld Dig (which is their Metroidvania) and I love it. Steamworld Heist is different though. It's a 2D turn based tactics shooter type of game. I think it would crossover very well with Metroid.
So Donkey Kong turns 40 this year. I assume Nintendo is gonna focus more on celebrating Zelda's 35th anniversary, but I'd still like it if they gave tribute to the game that made them viable in the video game industry!
At least personally, I'm gonna be playing through all the Mario universe platformers this year to celebrate, instead of just running through the mainline Super Mario games like I usually do. This includes some... games of dubious quality such as Wario Master of Disguise and Yoshi Topsy Turvey!

Age of Calamity is certainly the odd one out. Those other two games are non-Nintendo IPs; Part Time UFO was originally published under HAL's explicit "non-Nintendo stuff" HAL Egg brand. AoC was just an update though, not an announcement.
Repeating the same horror scenario over and over again to work yourself into a desperate state is what we do here.
Buddy Mission Bond is Nintendo published.
I'm not one for this type of thing, but I think Miyamoto should be celebrated by Nintendo. Everything he's done for the company. At his age we don't know how long he will live and I don't want any regrets. I wished Nintendo would celebrate him for all he's done.
Nintendo published doesn't mean Nintendo owns the IP.
Partially.
It'd take just a few seconds to go and fact-check the game's copyright info and see that yes, they do co-own the IP with Koei Tecmo.
I'll also note that Nintendo JP's page for Partner Presentations seperates Part-Time UFO and Buddy Mission BOND from the other games in the presentation and outright lists them as "Nintendo Titles"
Eshop games from Nintendo I would like to see is classics from the Famicom which didn't got any sequels with reimagined 2D artstyle (think something like the Ghost N Goblins. Not the same artstyle, but you get me. New 2D art style, not 8bit based), with a few gameplay twists/additions.
Ice Climbers but with better level design and a little bit more actionny, Mach Rider with some kind of upgrade system to become permanently stronger, and other games such as Murasame Castle (still waiting for it on the Famicom and NES app by the way, same as Mach Rider), Balloon Fight, etc...
