Originally created to share Nintendo friend codes and talk about the Nintendo Switch, this topic has now been broadened to the discussion of all things Nintendo. I'm still keeping the list updated here, so if you want to be added or make any changes, please PM me and I'll adjust the list.
Never would have expected them to add Blaster Master: Enemy Below! That game has been on my to play list for way too long. I started it once but only made it to the 2nd world. Maybe having access to it on the Switch will help me to finally play through all of it.
How beautiful are those SNES graphics? I remember wishing for more realism back in the day, but most 2D sprite games released today struggle to hold up to the high standard of some of the better SNES games.
Watching the Guerilla Collective Showcase...just had a trailer for Quest Master. Looks like somebody got tired of waiting for a Zelda Dungeon Creator from Nintendo
I finally just beat Shredder’s Revenge last week. Not that it was hard at all (maybe too easy tbh), but it was a nice “pick up later and continue” game for me and I loved the overall experience.
I’m also a bit disappointed in the lack of any new levels, but I am curious as to what that new game mode is. I can’t seem to find any details on it. Is it just single player but with all the characters backing you up or what? If whatever it ends up being is fun enough, it may make up for the lack of new levels somewhat.
> At this rate it's basically trending into Beyond Good & Evil 2 territory.
When was development restarted on MP4? 3-4 years ago? Then Covid. I'd give it another year presuming we hear about the Switch successor before calling it that.
> At this point if MP4 is announced as a launch title bundled with Switch 2.0 I’ll

I'm guessing Switch 2 will launch with a new Mario or Mario Kart, or will release very soon after. If I had to bet Mario Odyssey 2 with a Bowser Fury flair.
I'm usually aware of when we're due for another Direct, but this one completely surprised me! Can't wait! I'll post my obligatory ongoing want list:
1) Mario Kart 9 - MK8 came out in 2014! I know they ported it to the Switch, but still, it's time for some new Mario Kart! I'd love to see them go full Smash Kart in the next one, bringing in way more characters from non-Mario games. Not so much for the characters though, I really don't care who I play as, I just like that it would open up tons of new level possibilities. Unfortunately, we won't be getting a new Mario Kart any time soon since they're only halfway through the Booster Course Pass, but it's still my top want. I want a brand new Mario Kart, danggit!
2) 2D Zelda - Not a port or a remake, just a brand new 2D Zelda game without any (stupid) gimmicks.
3) Donkey Kong Country 4 - More like the original trilogy, not Returns/Tropical Freeze. I know this is incredibly unlikely, but it's staying on my list anyway.
4) 2D Mario - something new that breaks free from the tired NSMB formula. A 2D Odyssey with Cappy could be great!
5) 3D Mario - I'd be happy with 3D World 2, Galaxy 3, Odyssey 2, something similar to SM64, or something brand new! I do think the next one will be a sequel though.
6) Yoshi's Woolly World port - Besides TP:HD and WW:HD (which I do think will find their way to the Switch eventually) this is the only Wii U game I care about that hasn't either been ported or gotten a superior sequel. It's one of my favorite games, and I would really love to have access to it on the Switch.
7) Pokemon, Let's Go (Gen 2) - I loved the unique mechanics of the first one, and really hope to see more gens clremade in a similar way.
8) F-Zero - I had dropped this one from my list for a while after playing Fast Racing Neo and being very disappointed. But, it's back on the list now because I'm sure Nintendo would do a much better job.
9) Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons remake - After playing the Link's Awakening remake, I wanted them to remake these two games in the same style. Now, I'm not so sure that style makes as much sense for the Oracle games. They're a bit darker/grittier than LA, and don't have the whole dream aspect. Either way, I'd love to see them remade!
10) 3D Zelda ports/collection - Ideally, we'd get a collection of all the pre-SS 3D Zelda games, so the 3DS versions of OoT and MM, TP:HD, and WW:HD. But, it's Nintendo, so I know that's asking a LOT. It's hard to see them not releasing TP:HD and WW:HD as stand-alones, we all know they'd sell like crazy. So, I don't really know what to expect, I just know I'd like to see these games become available on Switch.
11) Metroid Prime 2 and 3 remasters - I had hoped they would just remaster the whole trilogy all at once, but obviously that didn't happen. Now, I'm hoping they'll remaster the 2nd and 3rd games as well, and then I'll play through all of them.
12) 2D Metroid - I'd be fine with a brand new one, or a remake. I thoroughly enjoyed Samus Returns and Dread, so I want 2D Metroid games to keep coming!
13) DS/3DS Player - something like the GBA Player, but for DS and 3DS games. Not exactly sure how this would work, maybe some add-on to the dock that could communicate with the Switch wirelessly, so the Switch itself would be the controller and bottom screen, and the add-on would display the top screen on the tv. It's not perfect, but I think it could work, and it would be great to be able to play ALL handheld Nintendo games on a TV.
Out of those, I think my top wants that are actually realistic things that could be announced tomorrow are either a 2D or 3D Mario, Metroid Prime 2 remaster, and maybe a new 2D Metroid. We're still getting more waves of courses for Mario Kart 8, so 9 isn't coming any time soon. That will probably be on the Switch's successor. Tears of the Kingdom just dropped, so I definitely don't see a new 2D Zelda coming out anytime soon, and probably not the Ages/Seasons remakes either (although I do believe those are coming eventually). I'm still hoping for another Pokemon Let's Go, but that would be announced in a Pokemon Direct, not this one.
REALLY hoping for a new Mario game, it's been too long! I'd be thrilled with 2D or 3D!
I know it's wishful thinking, but I'd swim in my own stool for an HD-2D Mario game. I don't see them ever doing a traditional 2D Mario game again, and I really don't need another "New" SMB game with its floaty controls, but an HD-2D Mario game with a similar graphics style to Octopath Traveler would be a new gimmick for the series that they haven't tried. I think it'd be worth a go for sure. Just imagine running through a SMB3 or SMW-style level but with the foreground and background playing into the atmosphere even more than they already did, hiding secrets and whatnot? A man can dream.
Really love that they wait to announce these until near release. People hype up everything, then complain when it doesn't meet unreal expectation. I can see the YouTuber hype train going full speed right now to get crap posted...
It'll be Pikmin 4, a well rumored game or two, third party stuff, NES Online/DLC update and a surprise or two.
No hyping up here personally, it’s just fun to share what I want to see. As long as you’re not the type to get pissy over video games, and I’m not, everything should be peachy haha
> I’ve heard rumors of a snes game getting remade and it possibly being Chrono trigger.
> I would lose my mind
Sea of Stars is coming out this year, which was inspired heavily by Chrono Trigger. Maybe CT is being remade too, idk, just thought I'd mention that lol
just saw that. Nice! I thought it was supposedly gonna be July, but honestly nobody knows what or when Nintendo is doing stuff these days. We got some good stuff from other companies this month. Can't wait to see some stuff from Nintendo to cap it off!
> In just about 12 short hours, all your wildest dreams will come true.
