Yes...don't get your hopes up
Until it happens with a Developer no expects and dreams of the series returning to greatness are crushed once and for all!
But it's dead. And will stay dead. Nintendo did it themselves.

I dunno. I am sure Mario Kart will sell well just because it's Mario Kart. But I don't see people getting especially excited about it specifically. No amount of new tracks or characters, or even a new battle mode, compares with something like new character reveals for Smash Bros (which that game basically runs on).

Metriod isn't dead. Calm down.
Q2?
Huh...
Who wants to do the closed thread in the making? 😁

Abandon ship people if you don't want leaks.
Unless Laura got some updated info on Smash & Mario Kart, Smash 4 Switch is coming within the first 6 months of the Switch's life, while Mario Kart 8 Switch is coming within the first 3 months of the Switch's life. As far as Laura has told us right now (& likely as far as she's confident in at the moment), Splatoon will be the only Day 1 enhanced Wii U port.
Yeeeeeees.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
Why would you do this?
I mean...Japanese and American Metroid is dead.
Maybe it's time to have a European Metroid?
I'm a glutton for punishment.

Mother 3 would be godly.
Exactly. The entire point of Ubisoft developing this game is to make the Rabbids more popular. People will buy this game because it will feature Mario. Releasing actual real Mario on the same day would kill Mario X Rabbids and upset Ubisoft to no end.
It's one of the best games of all time, localized officially for the first time since its original release 11 years ago.
Why wouldn't anyone get excited ?

Its kind of wrong to see that as shitty. A majority of people never picked up a wii u so this is essentially a line up of all new games. There will be some wii u owners unimpressed but they are a small amount of the potential fan base.
Well shit, that explains why it never turned up after both Emily & Eurogamer heard about it.

Makes sense to me: originally planned for Wii U, then moved over to Switch.
EarthBound Beginnings was weird enough. I don't know if I can embrace a new name for Mother 3, lol

They'll probably call it Mother 3. They made that joke at E3 plus if they are not planning on making another, just leave it for the fans
What, Mother 3? The thing that was never promised for Wii U by Nintendo?
MP: Federation Force's final cutscene teased a new game, likely a Metroid Prime 4 (there's some speculation about the character who

that chase Samus ship in the
Imagine, a brand new Metroid Prime.
Do you remember the Prime, Mr Frodo ? It'll be spring soon. And the Flaahgra will be in blossom, And the Metroids will be nesting in the Phazon mines. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the space pirate with screams. Do you remember the taste of space pirate?

Exactly. If nothing else, this vindicates Emily Rogers a bit more (as this was one of the scoops that people grilled her over for supposedly being wrong, when it was actually moved to the Switch).
With how many times this rumour's cropped up, this is really "I'll believe it when I see it."
As mentioned earlier, it's entirely possible that it was slated for last year on the Wii U, but Nintendo decided to move it to the Switch to generate more hype & sales potential.
I hope they'll make a trailer as fucking cool as the one they made for Earthbound.

It's a good thing Mother 3 is being released.
That way we can play the trilogy before Mother 4 is announced...(do it Nintendo)

Yup, I always said that they moved it to Switch. I'm glad that my prediction is right if the rumor panned out.
