Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

it seen that Vicarious Vision was developing a 3D open world Donkey Kong game before it got canceled, and Nintendo EPD 8 got part of this game(this is a update on the rumored next 2D Donkey Kong game)

What will happen first?

Nintendo contracts Koei Tecmo for a Fatal Frame VI or will we get a collection of the first three games?

apparently Squeenix is running a sale for a few titles. NL just posted a PSA.

@Ryu_Niiyama

Mmm, Star Ocean is 60% off until the end of the month.

I might have to nab that instead of holding my coins for Paranormasight.

Tough call.

I now own a Pro Controller, my life is complete.

I can't help but think Nintendo's going to announce Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass the week beginning April 10th for the 15th anniversary of MKWii. Also it's the week before Disney Speedstorm launches and Mario Kart competitors tend to release around whenever there's something happening with MK8 Deluxe.

Don't do this to me...

You mean the 15th anniversary of Mario Kart 64, surely?

@Grumblevolcano That's too soon for the next wave. They like to space out the DLC for the most part (FE Engage has been the exception rather than the rule) and we just got Wave 4. Wave 5 most likely launches late June/early July. I don't think they care about anniversaries nearly as much as you think they do.

@Grumblevolcano Nintendo doesn’t really care for the anniversary of individual games that much. Or at least celebrating them with new announcements. Bigger franchises like Mario are an exception, but that’s not just celebrating Mario’s first appearance. It’s celebrating the franchise as a whole. Same with the likes of Legend Of Zelda. If they did care about individual game anniversaries that much, Metroid prime remastered would have released last year, same with fusion’s rerelease.

And remember, wave 2 came out in August last year I think? Sometime around that. The announcement was near the tail end of July. So that’s far too soon for an announcement. June at the very earliest I believe would make more sense.

@TheBigBlue Even if Nintendo did do anniversary stuff for individual games, there is absolutely no way in this universe Metroid Prime Remastered would have launched on the same date as the original.

Sure, November 18 2022 was a Friday, so it'd line up, but there are two big reasons Nintendo wouldn't do it.

@IceClimbers I was thinking announce not necessarily release, possibly like what they did in September for wave 3. If Nintendo want to stay completely silent about TotK (which is starting to seem more likely), there's probably going to be a bunch of DLC announcements in April alongside giving Advance Wars attention.

I can see them green lighting a new game just to help fill a niche like they have done on with Bayoneeta. I've all but given up on Nintendo doing any collections, well except for Prime 2 & 3 lol

Yes lol

Who here owns a physical copy of Team Sonic Racing for the Switch? Not even woz the Scott does, at least I think so.

@Buizel Nope, we are getting old.

Definitely one of the few times recently they've put out something on there that I might actually want to get. Though it's not in the AU store (yet) unfortunately

@TheBigBlue I do lol
