I wouldn't say Miyamoto is completely out of the mix, but he's barring himself from getting too involved with the newer projects beyond supervisory help. Which is good. The light design touch was always his best strength.

the whole thing about his new position is that he doesn't have to have oversight over every little thing anymore and that he can jump on passion projects when he wants.
I hope it's sooner than later.
Miyamoto also likes story, he just doesn't want a lot of story in Mario games.
Reggie specifically mentioned Metroid when discussing franchises people should ask about again a year from now to see if they've made any progress on announcing games in a franchise during that interval, so I expect some form of Metroid game to be announced in the near future.
Aonuma mentioned last year wanting to make some kind of game involving a thief. But, it's unclear if that would be a Zelda-related game or not.
I'm not sure what I want more, a Gerudo thief Zelda spinoff, or a new IP.
The context of that interview suggests it would be a new IP. He mentioned Nintendo wanted him to make one.

Takahashi and Koizumi confirmed that several new IPs were coming from Nintendo.
I really want to see a full fledged Nintendo made action rpg game, not botw like rpg, but a normal one

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
If I'm not mistaken, that was an LKD rumor, and LKD ended up with a horrible track record on software.
Regardless of LKD, I do expect Xenoblade X to be amongst a few WiiU ports. I'd rather see Xenoblade 1 though, get me up to speed
That's what I'm referring to.
To me it sounds like he's going to compromise between the 2 requests and make a spinoff set in the Zelda universe:
I have nothing against spinoffs of course, but to me a brand new IP is a lot more tantalising.

100%?
100%. However the chances of a new Metroid being good are significantly lower.

They've been working on one since before Federation Force. I think that's pretty clear with how FF expands the Prime universe and leaves the story on a clift hanger.

Was it really all that horrible? The XCX and Splatoon ports, and Mario/Zelda dates are the only ones I remember her being definitively wrong about.
I think her hardware stuff was on point, software wise it wasnt. (at least thus far)
She said Monolith was developing a new game and that Xenoblade X port was being done by someone else.
I'm pretty sure she and Eurogamer corrected themselves and said that Zelda would be the launch title after all and Mario coming later. Which ended up being correct.

She also said that the last Smash amiibo were being held back for the Switch port, and look how that turned out.
Her hardware facts were 100% right, but I can't think of anything she got right software side, other than things people had already guessed/assumed.
I feel sorry for her though, because it was just down to a dodgy source, but at the same time what she was doing was a big risk. She was also positioning herself as a leak journalist, but she wasn't following the kind of guidelines that actual journalists do follow like keeping schtum until you have quality sources that corroborate. When you compare her to the likes of Kotaku, there's a really big flipping difference in the quality of the journalism.
Was that a leak or speculation on her part? Looking over her claims she mostly got things right (with some misses, and some TBD).

I guess it's true that the software leaks she got right were confirmed by others as well, often beforehand. A lot of them are still unconfirmed as false though (like XCX port, BGE2).
I'm still holding out hope for BGE2, it sounded too random to be false and then the timing of all of the BGE character art being released was pretty telling. I guess the issue will be whether or not it's a Switch exclusive/timed exclusive.
Anyway this is about Nintendo's first party teams so I apologize for the digression.
For example, here is what Laura said about Switch launch day software
-3D Mario (and a demo of it would be available for the press to play in events in January)
-Splatoon port (and maybe as a pack in game)
-Mario Rabbids RPG
-Skyrim
-No Zelda at launch
-Just Dance 2017
And all of this (excluding the Just Dance stuff I think) according to her was corroborated from a source withing NoE. So someone was either playing with her, or feeding her false info on purpose.
She did say Monolith was working on something new (but that was not shocking at all) and that turned out to be Xenoblade 2. And she got the Rayman Legends port right too
Again her hardware stuff was 100% on point, but so far, software leaks are not in a good place, especially for first party stuff which is the focus on this thread
There is still stuff she leaked on the software side that could happen tho (the Rabbids thing is so crazy that must be real)
-3D Mario (and a demo of it would be available for the press to play in events in January)

Stop this. She got almost every single claim wrong about the January event and would've been banned like the other leakers if she posted on this forum.
I agree, her leaking mistakes were aggravated by the fact that she didn't hold back with revealing everything she heard. It seems to me more to be a question of inexperience: she is a relatively green journalist, and people like Schreier and Phillips are more experienced and therefore report less but more accurate rumours. It's a learning experience for Laura Dale, shame she took it so hard (due in part to the reactions she got, as well).
She threw her sources under the bus and posted their company of employment on Twitter.
No, she said Zelda would be at launch at least in NA and Japan.
Alternative facts.
The only leaker who got the event right was on 4chan, and Laura called that leak "entirely false."
fabricated backlash

She did what?
https://twitter.com/laurakbuzz/status/819793167473987588?lang=en
Oh and good thing she herself compiled all her bogus rumors in one Tweet so that we can compare it against reality.
By the way, I blame her for the "Splatoon 2 is a port" meme.
Another "insider" claimed the same thing. Said the 4chan leak was entirely false and got banned for that.
Pretty sure that was doctor cupcakes. I don't remember and can't find any tweets from her about it.
Not quite. This is the bingo card she made before the event. The one you posted was outdated even at the time. https://twitter.com/LaurakBuzz/stat...ning-day-for-nintendo-switch-rumor-reporters/

Watched a video game concert last night and met David Wise. Asked him what he's up to and he said he's 'not allowed to say'
Vague, but could be DK? Can't imagine him being fussy over a NDA for an indie title

Should we get a moderator in here to decide exactly how much credibility we should be giving Laura Kate Dale? Because I think we're getting pretty far off topic at this point.

I have noticed less Miyamoto, which i think is good. I
Mean no disrespect to someone whom i greatly admire but it almost seemed as if he was on of the factors holding nintendo games back from much ambition beyond gameplay by insisting that simplifying was the way to go. The reason i like mario galaxy one over two is because it feels ambitious in its story telling and scope for a mario title, wheras in two and the 3d games these aspects were greatly
Toned down. That being said i still love 3d world but its certainly a far cry from the interesting things galaxy 1 was trying to do from a narrative and scope perspective. Also its good to see these younger guys and gals stretching their legs (arms) with cool new ground for nintendo like splatoon and even though im not particularly interested in it, arms

I find it surprising and nice to see leaks happen, and Jason to say "I can confirm I've heard this as well" he's obviously holding stuff back which he doesn't feel he has strong enough evidence to release.
My favourite was the "Versus XIII is cancelled and is being rolled up in to a new project, FFXV". It caused so much outrage because people didn't want it to be true, and then it was revealed that Versus XIII was just being renamed to XV and people were like "you were wrong you were wrong".
And only much later did we realise that kotaku was right. VERSUS XIII was scrapped. XV was an entirely new game, made to resemble Versusxiii, with only certain bits taken for the new game. That's probably my favourite bit of gaming journalism.
This was Emily's bingo sheet before the January event happened. Just sayin'
Anyways lets not get too far off topic.
I think it's up to the individual how much credibility they want to give to her, but I agree let's drop this topic.
I do think the Rabbids game is real, pretty interested in seeing how that turns out.
I'm pretty sure Miyamoto was much more involved in Galaxy 1 than he was in Galaxy 2 or 3D World. Although he did tone down the planned story in both Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2.

Did you literally just ask him "what's up" and he responded to that with "not allowed to say"? That's hilarious if true.
Anyway there's been a lot of smoke over the past couple years about a new Diddy Kong Racing, and with Diddy now still absent from MK8D I wouldn't be too surprised to see that announced. And I believe the original OST was composed by David Wise.

Yeah, to be honest, it was awkward as fuck because it was literally a "not allowed to say" response ha.
It makes sense. To be honest, I'm surprised someone isn't taking the majority of video game composers and checking their previous/current work and checking for gaps like people are doing with studios. It would probably reveal some useful information given a lot of Nintendo composers are linked to specific franchises.

I can't see a Diddy Kong Racing game happening due to Mario Kart's popularity, but I think something similar to a Donkey Kong country game but with more of an emphasis on the whole DK crew would work really well if different levels were tailored to the different traits of the characters?
Almost like a team-based Donkey Kong game given the Switch's focus on multiplayer titles would be SICK.
I've never played Tropical Freeze btw, so I don't know if they've done something similar before. Seems like a gap though? Almost like a tag-in / tag-out co-op game. Did anyone ever play those Micky Mouse games on the megadrive that were similar for an idea of what I've got in my head?
yay!
Damn.. with Zelda out now, it will set a very high bar indeed.
I've come very late to the Nintendo scene, will I need to have played previous games at all?

An NDA is an NDA. Doesn't matter if your dev buddy asked you nicely not to talk about it or if a huge company is behind it.
No and that goes for all their series.
At least not for story reasons. You need to play them because their quality ratio is ridiculous.
