Nintendo direct wants/predictions
I crave Luigi’s mansion 4
Pikmin 4 switch 2 edition
Something really exciting and fun and perhaps even brand new.
Free Tomodachi life updates and or switch 2 edition or just some acknowledgement of its success lol.
Kid Icarus. I have always wanted to get into this series, and I never played the 3ds game so whether it’s some sort of remake of that or just a new one I would be greatly excited.
Smash bros ultimate switch 2 edition, 120 fps and res bump for $5… if they actually added content… maybe a new solo game mode? Idk if they would add new characters but maybe something new to do.
Maybe animal crossing? It could perhaps be time? I always thought it would be a year 2 or year 3 game for switch 2. So an announcement or teaser would make sense. I have truly no idea what I want for a sequel. I’ve played every game in the series and personally I really liked new horizons. For us decorators it was super awesome but not a lot to do outside of that. where new leaf outshines new horizons was in its social gameplay with its online features), aesthetic, and soundtrack. While I do enjoy the island aesthetic of new horizons, new leaf’s was more versatile. I overall do prefer NH. Which is hard to admit I really love new leaf and miss some aspects of it dearly but that game is rougher to revisit than i thought. (I still have it lol) Especially the version you revisit. Like OG new leaf vs welcome amiibo update are night and day bro. The QOL features in that update were huge. So yeah idk I just need a NH with some more NL aspects and aesthetic and Sountrack and bro it’d be peak.
Idk if we’ll see any gen 10 stuff… I’d like to but who knows… maybe a remake! Idk what though. If it’s like bdsp I don’t want it haha. I’m not even entirely against another “let’s go” game as long as the controls aren’t weird again. Like we know unova is not on the recent horizons. I don’t remember if the leaks said anything about any other potential remakes… I know people speculate HGSS. And I’d be stoked if they did it with respect lol. But I’d be so sad if it’s bad remake of that game.
Ah the big obvious rumored one… ocarina of time and personally… I’m not very excited for this idea… unless it’s a really really different reimagining of ocarina of time I just idk. I don’t think it’s what the switch 2 really needs right now. However I’m not entirely against this. Why? Because with the existence of OOT remake… the natural conclusion of using those assets to then make a Majoras mask remake is more likely and more up my alley lol (why I slightly prefer that game, who knows lol both are amazing but majora? 👨🍳💋) so again I imagine it will be very pretty but if anything else I listed shows up I will be greatly more excited for it. Again great game I just think the original and 3ds version are already pretty great! And the switch 2 is selling fine but it needs some social momentum and OOT just isn’t gonna do it for anybody who isn’t already a Zelda fanatic ya know?
And couple more random ones… bring me a really fun Mario sluggers. Do it. You dropped the ball with strikers… but it’s time to hit a home run and take me back to the mushroom kingdom ball diamond. It’s time
Oh DELTARUNE, duh. Tobiath Foxine it’s time to bring me chapter 5. I neeeeeed it lol. I’m ready…. Sort of… who knows what heartbreak is about to unveil itself… well I’m at least ready for more amazing bops I can listen to.
I would imagine and hope for FREE Mario kart world updates? But I fear it’s just gonna be straight up paid dlc. I bought the dlc for Mario kart 8 on Wii U (Well then I rebought 8 deluxe on switch) but I never got the dlc for the switch version. It wasn’t necessary to play the tracks online so meh. But world needs a bunch of FREE updates before they even attempt paid dlc. If they go straight to paid I am just flat out never playing that game unless a casual gamer friend wants to try it out but like no. I’m still always a little 🤢 about that game. Especially when I think about how the devs and Nintendo said this game is worth the $80 price point and OUT OF EVERYTHING they have released this year? Mario kart was the worst. Metroid 4 better than that mindless drivel. Yes some of courses are cool, yes the mechanics can be fun, (and soundtrack is always a banger) but the free roam mode which was some big selling point sucks, they ruined the online mode and said fuck you play our way, deal with it and we said actually. We’ll just not pick up this game again. Like I’d love to see how many people actually play this game. Like fuck I’ll just go back to 8 deluxe. It’s still there. Alive and well. So yeah they just better release a big huge free “we’re sorry for that” update and maybe that will fix things. Cause imo. Mario kart world isn’t that beginner friendly and has a high skill ceiling. People would argue drifting in mk8 is more difficult but I disagree. Also trying form some muscle memory for these tracks is hard so yeah idk. That game is a huge let down, but I’m not some Mario kart fanatic they are truly party games in my eyes and nothing else but when you sell it for $80 all of a sudden, I got to at least start looking at it with a critical eye like I do other games in this price range. So I expect big things for this game but I fear they will continue to let us down. (Or just admit it’s not worth $80 and drop the price to $60! Then yeah, I’d be less critical with this game haha)
What else hmmm oh! I imagine we will see duskbloods stuff.
Then hmmm idk what else. Phoenix wright? Professor Layton? Who knows. All possibilities. Maybe I don’t pay attention too closely to those series, mainly just throwing out thoughts so I guess I’ll end there….
Oh this probably won’t happen but themes! Themes for switch 2… PLEASE. Fuck throw the OG switch a bone and give them color themes like there’s no reason there can’t be a blue or pink theme on the OG switch. Then maybe switch 2 can have the more 3ds-esque themes with characters and more interesting backgrounds and music change. But they’d rather make Mario kart world worse before they do something fun like themes
