About a 3D Mario game, isn't the new Donkey Kong being made by the Tokyo based Mario team?

I don't know for sure but I suspect it is. If that's the case we should probably not expect a new 3D Mario game so soon..

I reckon DK is from EPD8, but they've been quite quiet lately. Wouldn't be shocked if they've been working on two games at once (with help from a support studio or two).

Mario 3d sounds plausible 25/26. Smash was shown for how many years before released. 2 or 3? That isn't happening any time soon.

A new Mario in 2025? Now that would be fire but it probably will be 2026/2027

Master Chief Collection could actually pick up a following on Switch 2. Needs a few skins and some marketing push.

Good line up, lots of variety compared to PS5 launch and xbox series launch. But I will really wait for a new Earthbound, new Mario platformer, metroid 4(October), and of course a new Zelda. Gta6 might be impossible due to limitations on hardware but anyway i will play that on ps5.

Will there ever be a new Earthbound?

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Splatoon Raiders is not a reboot.

In to also say this.

Also the list is missing tons of games and has weird (extremely obvious) info listed as tho it's not widely known. Very strange

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Will there ever be a new Earthbound?

No. Itoi has zero interest in ever doing one.

 

[Lionel Richie]

No. Itoi has zero interest in ever doing one.

This and just so people don't come in being anal, Itoi IS the Mother series. Nintendo has indicated time and time again they won't do another game unless he's in. And he's not in.

Mario 3d sounds plausible 25/26. Smash was shown for how many years before released. 2 or 3? That isn't happening any time soon.

Smash Ultimate was revealed in March of 2018 and released that December. Maybe you're thinking of the rollout of DLC characters? That continued for a couple of years after the game launched.

That said, I don't think Smash is releasing this year, since Sakurai has been working on Kirby Air Riders.

Smash was announced in March 2018 for a 2018 release (released in December 2018), people were thinking it was a port of the Wii U version rather than a new game, cause it was too quick.

What changed? Where is DragXDrive?

 

[Scrawnton]

Eagerly awaiting Nintendo to provide me with some release dates for games after Donkey Kong launches. Market your games, Reggie.

The only interesting exclusive is Metroid Prime 4 and it can be played on the Switch 1.
