I'm expecting DLC or some kind of Season Pass for Mario Odyssey.

I think Mario Odyssey will get DLC, but I'm expecting it to be announced much closer to the game's release like with BotW and Mario + Rabbids.

 

[CharminUltra]

Kid Icarus: Clawed for Switch.

"Say bye to your hands all over again."

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Does anyone have a list of what was revealed in last September's Direct? That might be a decent baseline for what to expect.

Off the top of my head:

- Hey Pikmin
- Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World
- Super Mario Maker for 3DS
- Mario Sports Superstars
- Zelda 30th anniversary amiibo
- Galaxy 3DS

It was 3DS-focused because, really, there wasn't much to talk about on Wii U. But they did sneak in a stealth Skyward Sword VC release.

 

[Neiteio]

Yeah, I simply cannot see Sakurai jumping right into another Smash after just finishing 4. The man needs his breaks from the series with how it keeps almost killing him!

Whatever this was for, I feel it's something brand-new.

Kid Icarus Uprising had rifles AND mechs

Kid Icarus Uprising 2: The Jmonification Has Begun, confirmed

 

[javac]

Tropical Freeze Deluxe lets go!

 

[Strings]

Just don't announce a Colour Splash port.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Sakurai needs to be making Uprising 2. I know, I know, he said he wouldn't make a sequel, just like Kojima said over and over that such and such was the last Metal Gear game.

https://www.polygon.com/2016/9/1/12749220/nintendo-direct-nintendo-3ds-news-roundup

- Mario Sports Superstars
- Hey! Pikmin (or just Pikmin 3DS at the time)
- Ever Oasis
- Yoshi's Woolly World 3DS
- Mario Maker 3DS
- Picross 3D 2 Western release
- Tank Troopers
- Skyward Sword on Wii U

So not too much, but things are definitely different this year.

If it's DLC, Nintendo should just wait until after the game comes out. They only get criticized for "not giving us a full game" when they announce it prior.

 

[Neiteio]

"Sakurai, your trailer for Smash Switch starring Chris Tucker was so epic it destroyed five city blocks."

"Sorry Chief, it won't happen agai--"

"One more screwup like this and I'll take your badge! You hear me, Sakurai?"

"Sorry Chief"

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I hope they do. Game was good, with great writing.

 

[TheDinoman]

Sakurai needs to be making Uprising 2. I know, I know, he said he wouldn't make a sequel, just like Kojima said over and over that such and such was the last Metal Gear game.

It has been a good five years since he said that. Not to mention that at the time, the guy literally had Smash Bros. on the horizon to work on, so of course he wouldn't be thinking of doing anything else at that point, lol. So you may never know...

 

[DecoReturns]

Just don't announce a Colour Splash port.

I would take a Color Splash port.

Great writing and music.

All around charming game.

 

[Mory Dunz]

I wound up comparing the credits for Robobot and Rainbow Curse, and there isn't a huge amount of crossover between the staff (around 1/3 max).

you what?

i mean....dang.

 

[LotusHD]

Just don't announce a Colour Splash port.

Heh, agreed

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

If another Kid Icarus happens, no Hades, no buy. Still probably my favorite Nintendo villain in a while!

Spoiler

Why couldn't we have got him in Smash instead of Hot Topic Pit?

 

[Neiteio]

I'd take Color Splash, but not Colour Splash. The extra "u" is completely unnecessary. The founding fathers left England because they were sick of this inefficient way of writing.

And not to mention he usually goes back and fourth between making Smash and then a different project. After Melee he made Air Ride, and after Brawl he made Kid Icarus, etc.

Pls include Returns Deluxe too

Dark Pit was already an alternate costume with voice clips (ie the Koopalings) so it was easier to convert him into his own character slot. Just like Lucina.

I honestly can't think of another game outside The Wonderful 101 that had such great banter between characters. Hades was absolutely amazing. I especially loved the Aurum ark in the middle of the game when everyone was all buddy buddy... Good shit.

 

[McGruber21]

I agree that Uprising 2 really should happen on Switch. I loved the world and the mechanics of the first one, and it was my first time playing a Kid Icarus game. I just think as a character, it feels like Nintendo could really care less. The core gameplay and world are so strong it would almost be stupid not to try this on Switch.

 

[Takat]

Maybe the record video function will be come available?

Pyrrhon is the greatest comicbook joke character ever, he'd make a great assist trophy

 

[MTC100]

How about saving SAVE FILES on SD Cards FIRST?!

Asking for video recording features, when you can't even back up your save files is like asking for a car when you don't even have drinking water...

Yeah, I know. Just voicing a major disappointment with the roster...

Aurum Arc Hades has some of the absolute best lines in the game, and that's saying something!

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

It's just a random place holder name I made up. However, I do think Retro's new game will be a completely original IP.

I think it is new IP or Nintendo has quietly acquired the game license to 007. Let Retro reinvent FPS as Rare did one upon a time.

Why

That doesn't play to their strengths at all.

Neither did a 2d platformer like DKC once upon a time.

They can reinvent an FPS if they wanted to without a super expensive 007 license.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Retro doesn't need 007. I want them to come up with their new IP. Nintendo isn't going to spend money on 007. I want Retro to either work on another old Nintendo IP or come up with something brand new on their own.

They already did that with Metroid Prime.

I see Neiteio is in good shape, today.

Somehow I didn't yet think about the fact that we may have a StarTropics 3 announcement Wednesday!

Hmm... Could just be an auto tag thing by YouTube?

Since the game has Nintendo 3DS in its title, and so does the Direct description?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Hmmm.

 

[Irishonion]

Probably too much to ask, but would like a tokyo mirage sessions port to switch.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I personally think Retro and 007 would send a strong signal to western third-parties. Also would be a more mature franchise for Nintendo. Metroid could also be that in HD.

I also think another Ubisoft game is confirmed for Switch. Maybe PoP Sands of Time HD, R6S, or Division. I know your all laughing.

I hope they address the online voice chat and app!

 

[DMONKUMA]

Well Wednesday's a good day anyways. Good deal on platinum rings coming up.

It sends a strong statement: "Retro is just Rare now"

It was definitely there at one point since I checked as well
