Nintendo General Discussion |OT18| Is anyone else’s thread collecting dust? (Trans Rights are still Human Rights)

[MaitreWakou]

Without even checking the copyrights, anyone familiar with how Nintendo operates when it comes to brand new IP made in collaboration with their usual third part collaborators know it's gotta be a co own IP. I didn't had to check and I knew they would at least partially co own Buddy Mission BOND's IP.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Ok everyone, I have spoken (chat) with Brazil. Those were hints from him.

 

[Imitatio]

Party hard!

 

[9-Volt]

Yeah, Nintendo likes to do co-ownership of IP's, which means they own the IP in the end.

Because of this "co-ownership" thing, we can't have player avatars on Switch from franchises like Kirby, Fire Emblem and Pokémon.

 

[Imitatio]

Fire Emblem

Now I'm sad again.

 

[MondoMega]

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...

I heard something like this before, but I don't really trust that info. Nintendo getting different indie devs to work on a series of reimaginings of black box NES titles. Don't think it'll actually happen, but hey, it'd be neat!

We have Kirby avatars.

HAL always plays nice with Nintendo when they want to do crossovers; Kirby had a Mii Costume in Mario Kart 8 too!

 

[Calvertutrp]

I wish Buddy Mission was getting more of a push if only for how much I thoroughly enjoy Yusuke Murata's art in basically everything I see from him and I'd love for him to collab with Nintendo more

I'm playing Control and ... I can't help but wonder how this video game limits itself by being "typical AAA videogame". Like, you have a world full of paranormal phenomena but the enemies are typical TPS soldiers (possessed by an entity). A mini boss is even the typical "Big guy in armor and a gatling."

It is a good game but that is "too videogame".

I'm a huge fan of the SCP Foundation and yes, this game is inspired by it but it "gamifies" it and makes it all a bit generic. Telekinesis, pistols, shotguns, the typical dodge ...

It reminds me of Infamous Second Son. A game where you have incredible powers to be a superhero ... which are things like "Throwing grenades that are actually smoke powers" or "Sniper rifle but it is a power" or "Submachine gun but it is a power".

The specificity of "brand new IP made in collaboration with their usual third part collaborators" seems like it's setting me up for a No True Scotsman here, but I'm sure you can find examples of new IPs published by Nintendo that they don't co-own. Bravely Default. Daemon X Machina. Whatever else.

Regardless of all of this, we're not going to see an installment in a Nintendo IP like Fire Emblem announced in a Partner Showcase. The whole point of rebranding Directs that way was so people would stop expecting first-party announcements.

Those are games that Nintendo only published outside of Japan; you can throw in Octopath Traveller and Fitness Boxing too; it's a totally different case.

Nintendo are publishing Buddy Mission BOND in Japan (and right now that's the only region the game is being released in at all).

Those are very specific case. Those games aren't Nintendo games in Japan, just deals for Nintendo to publish it in the West.

I was with you until you said Mach Rider and Murasame Castle.

The former needs a Jodorowsky-esque take on Mad Max starring canonically female Mach Rider directed by Suda.

The latter has to go to Hideki Kamiya Kenji Saito at PlatinumGames for a character action revival.

WayForward can get Urban Champion Resurrection tho!

Mach Rider El Topo or The Sacred Mountain (is it the english title of the film ? I assume it is. Only know the french title, La Montagne Sacré.) by Suda51 I'm all in.
And yeah I always was in for a Murasame Castle revival by PlatinumGames ever since Kamiya mentionned wanted to work on it lmao

[Glio]

Thank you! So, it could be interpreted as BOTW2, a remake of Holy War in Fire Emblem, some spin off of Splatoon focused on the Octoling, a 2D Metroid and remake of Pearl / Diamond. It's really nothing we haven't heard rumors about before but it's interesting.

No, just that they were hints. It's still good to know and if all goes well we can get all 5 of the hints this year.

The Holy Mountain actually. Some good shit, even though I hold Jodorowsky the person in very low esteem.

Give me the confidence of an insider to piggyback off existing rumors and rake in the Internet clout if one of them turns out to be right.

Oh yeah sounds better, thanks !
Have to say I don't know much about the person.
Only watched El Topo, Holy Mountain, and the documentary of his version of Dune that he was supposed to direct. Glorious stuff, and while it portrays him as some kind of a spiritual creator, which speaked to me a lot, it did also portrayed him as a tyranical father (El Topo becomes very ambiguous once you re watch it after knowing that)

The new Archive thread is strictly for hard evidence, like rating boards, store listings etc. No more hints and tease from insiders.

I wonder if that specific artwork of Samus means a new 2.5D game, rather than Prime 4.

Hi everyone! Just checking in. Back to work (therefore checking out this thread all the time) Monday for me. But I thought I would stop in. We getting hints?? I feel like this is gonna be a good year.

More like new 2D Metroid by the same devs as Samus Return, MercurySteam. It's been pretty much known by insiders for a while now.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Splatoon is the only one that I can't conclude what it is. The other 4 are fairly obvious.

 

[MatrixMan.exe]

So Metroid, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Zelda and Pokémon this year? And maybe DK? Seems almost too good to be true....

I feel like Splatoon is a series Nintendo is itching to do more with, so I think it could be almost anything. My guess is like a co-op thing. Or a Battle Royale.

Mainly some weird comments he made years ago but it doesn't really matter anymore. The man is quite irrelevant today and his films will outlive him.

We had no proper DK hint from a renowned insider yet. Even if we did, it's best to set expectations low, quality of DK games is nothing but a roller coaster ride.

 

[Derachi]

Soooo do we have a poll for when we think the Direct is? I have a feeling it's gonna be February but I'm hoping it's this month.

 

[Ozzie]

Man oh man, a brand new FE game this year and it's going to be a FE4 Remake? I'm way too excited now. I just hope IS develops it instead of KT. FE needs have a better engine.

A new 2D Metroid is pretty much an open secret at this point; only a matter of time.

Wouldn't complain about a Samus Returns port in addition to the new game though!

Imma go out on a limb and say that DK will come out March 2022 (unless BOTW2 is delayed). Gotta save some games for later. 2021 will have more than enough, and DK could get lost in it all.

That, and the DK coaster in Japan should be opening in 2022. It's early in construction now.

 

[Dekuman]

Has Mercury Steam don't anything since Samus Returns?

 

[Kevin360]

Almost 4 years into the Switch and we haven't seen anything Metroid. I had the same feeling with the Wii U, and bought a Switch thinking that, "Surely, we will see Metroid soon!"

Good thing the Switch is a great console all around, even without fulfilling my deep desire to play Metroid.

Idk if DK would get "lost," it has the potential to sell a lot. More than Metroid and Fire Emblem anyway
