    Clearly this is the one where they show off Metroid Prime 4, right? And the new F-Zero? 🙂

    My uncle at nintendo told me that they’ll finally tell us how to teach Pikachu Surf so we can find the Mew under the truck.

    I’ve been so attached to Tears of the Kingdom that I’ve barely even considered other games. What an open world masterclass. I feel like I could spend another hundred hours in that game and still find some interesting spot hiding somewhere.

    I’ll still ride the copium train hoping for a Wind Waker HD port or something similar. New Mario game would also be pretty neat.

        Lol I’ve been considering doing the same. I still have WindWaker for GameCube but I want to play the HD version

    I’m excited to see what they’re going to showcase. The rumor mill is running rampant on Twitter that a new 2D Mario game and an SNES remaster will be shown.

    Assuming these are true, I hope we’re getting a 2D Mario that isn’t a “New Super Mario Bros” title since that franchise is nearly 20 years old at this point. Give us something new. Call it “Super Mario Bros. 5”, even. Just something that isn’t part of the “New” series.

    As for an SNES remaster, Super Mario RPG in a tilt-shift style Link’s Awakening remaster would be lovely. A Chrono Trigger remaster in the style of Octopath or Live a Live would also be lovely.

    But ultimately I’ll just wait it out with hopeful optimism that they have some good stuff in the pipeline.

      Yes! Splatoon is so underrated outside of Japan. I’ve really been enjoying the game and would love to have a big contentful dlc to work through

    According to leaks, there’s going to be a new 2D Mario game (It will not have “New” in the title, thankfully) and a “remake of a SNES Classic” (I believe it’ll be a Chrono Trigger HD-2D remake).

      a new 2d mario that’s not an nsmb title? that’s hype af honestly.

      my hopes:

      • more info on fashion dreamer (curious to see how nintendo responds now that the marvelous showcase happened and clarified officially)

      • a comment/bit on pretty princess magical garden island which is literally releasing the day after the direct

      • some other new girly/femme game would be nice, though I know nintendo is kinda shying away form that

      • I’d like to see a 2d zelda too.

          have you not heard? style savvy was murdered by nintendo. Syn Sophia, the developers of style savvy, wanted to make a 5th game and got shut down hard by nintendo. They then did a complete ip rebrand and struggled to find a publisher, at which point marvelous stepped in. It’s called Fashion Dreamer and is planned to be a continued fashion series by syn sophia. It’s basically style savvy, in all but official ip/branding. Same dev, same goal (fashion game), etc.

          Given Nintendo’s hard rejection, Style Savvy is dead for the foreseeable future. And if Fashion Dreamer does well (which it should if all style savvy fans buy it which they should if they like style savvy), Nintendo might realize it’s good to have style savvy and revive; but if that happens I sincerely doubt syn sophia will return to develop them.

          tl;dr: style savvy is dead, and nintendo murdered it. a revival might happen if Fashion Dreamer (marvelous/syn sophia game) does well, but if it does revive, it almost certainly won’t be syn sophia developing it again, so not really the same.

          Buy Fashion Dreamer if you like Style Savvy

            Oh no, I hadn’t heard! Definitely putting Fashion Dreamer on my list, then! We need more “girl games” that devs have actually put effort into.

      I would be down for a CT remake and I think it’s eventually inevitable, but it would blow my mind if they gave the Dread treatment to Super Metroid.

    My dream announcement is a new golden sun game or a remake of the first 2/3.

    Beyond that pipe dream, I always get excited to see the buzz around things like this!

      I would love a Golden Sun port or new game! I LOVED the one on GBA! Such a fun puzzle rpg. It did have a TON of dialogue though…

        Yeah, it was campy and long winded at times, but the puzzles were great, the class system was unique and creative, and the music was second to none. It’s a small magazine and a small community altogether, but I’m proud to be the moderator.

    It feels like we’re getting toward the end of the switch life cycle, but sales are still strong and Nintendo probably would love to hold onto this install base they have. Wonder if we get some acknowledgement of that life cycle or potentially a new console soon.

      Honestly I hope it’s just a Switch 2. I know Nintendo likes to really think outside the box and do different things with their consoles (DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch), but the Switch is basically the coolest gaming device ever. When they showed that the controllers came off and there was a kickstand so you could play Mario Kart with friends wherever, it blew my mind.

      Just update the hardware and fix the joycon drift, and I’ll be happy.

      That would probably require cooperation with square, which would finally open the door to proper sequels. I’d cry. (No shade on the paper Mario and Mario and Luigi games, they are great series in their own rights, just not the same.)

    I’m pretty excited to see what this ends up having. Nintendo has already done a lot of the big obvious things with the Switch, which leaves the window open for lesser used IPs or more unique game concepts.

    Or they can do sequels, which is still pretty exciting since it’s a chance to improve on what are already some really strong titles.

      tbh it seems like nintendo is doing the opposite of that. they used to have a lot of random smaller games/ips, but it’s been feeling like they’ve been centralizing into their few core IPs and nothing else. like, we haven’t even gotten a 2d zelda on switch yet (grezzo did LA remake but that’s not really a new game).

      I’m getting older and feeling the same way about a lot of things, but I still can’t wait to have time to check out the new Zelda game, and I have no doubt it’s going to blow my mind. :)
