It's probably not intentional, but it sounds like even Baba is bored of Berseria and wants to get past it.

Is he even on Tales anymore? I don't remember him being featured at last years Tales Festival like he has been in past years, and the same goes for the recent 20th anniversary event. His name really hasn't been attached to the series since the fallout over Zestiria.

Yoshifumi Hashimodo's is in with Rune Factory

RF5 please

Yeah, I didn't realize he ended up with Marvelous despite Neverland going bankrupt. I'm glad he landed on his feet somewhere.

I feel like Sakuari is probably gonna work on something new, not necessarily a new IP or anything like that, but just something he's never done before. I would personally love to see him take another dead Nintendo IP and revive it.

Duck Hunt if he follows the Brawl→KI:U logic(if there's logic).

 

[Choppasmith]

On one hand, Sakurai deserves a break. On the other hand, some kind of Uprising sequel/HD Remix would be great for NX. On the OTHER hand, maybe he'll work on another franchise reboot and that would be AMAZING.

 

[random25]

Bayonetta x Kid Icarus, Sakurai teams up with Kamiya and develops it.

It will be Pit's first step to adulthood.

 

[Cerium]

No, it'll be child abuse.

I still can't believe Lily Bergamo was cancelled and turned into...Let It Die.

What a damn joke.

Atlus’ Katsura Hashino (Persona series)

We’ll safely release Persona 5 in 2016… I think.

Oh God. It's not even funny, Hashino.

 

[jmizzal]

Sakurai Kid Icarus 4 NX plz

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Resident Evil 7 coming in Fall 2017 brehs

Please. Would immediately become my most anticipated game.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Okay Suda, sure. Finish The Silver Case for Vita first.

RE 0 HD is the only remaster among the ones I mentioned. RE 2 Remake is being built from the ground up so doesn't qualify as a remaster in the same vein as RE 0 or REmake. It's also a pretty big project.
They've been pretty open about RE7 being in development. Also, it's been 3 years since RE6 came out. RE6 came out 3 years after RE5. It's common sense that they're working on RE7. They don't make an RE2 remake before RE7.

This still doesn't change the fact that for now both REmake 2 and RE7 are just names and nothing else. Now, if they show something like a trailer then we can count and talk about them. But until then, they don't mean anything.

But honestly with how this gen is turning out to be with delays and all that, deep down I wouldn't really feel comfortable getting my hopes up for actually playing either of them until we have solid release dates.

Spoiler

(pun proves the point)

Duck Hunt if he follows the Brawl→KI:U logic(if there's logic).

The KIU thing was a longer saga of Nintendo seeking external developers, them not creating pitches Nintendo was satisfied with, then Nintendo signing with Sora to get something done for the 3DS.

 

[Regiruler]

Kid Icarus with free flying and more open combat would sell NX consoles, I'm pretty certain.

Fuck no. Kid Icarus needs to remain on rails.

 

[finalflame]

Hashimoto is where the hype is for me. Can't wait to hear more.

 

[Zalman]

If Sakurai wanted something less stressful, he could always do an HD release of Uprising. The game deserves it and would heavily benefit from it.

I think he's the type of guy who wants to move on though.

 

[Vibranium]

Fuck no. Kid Icarus needs to remain on rails.

Huh. I liked on the rails for the 3DS, but on console it would be cool to çhange it up in my opinion.

Maybe Sakurai is reviving an old IP or has a brand-new idea though, which would be even better.

 

[Newtype-001]

Im ready for the surprises. I hope square has a new mid sized ip in the works.

 

[Golnei]

Alternatively...

It worked for Little Mac, after all.

No, it'll be child abuse.

I don't know, she's pretty good with kids.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

whatever Sakurai wants to make, Im sure he can get the funding.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It all makes sense now, sakurai is leading the next Metal Gear. He took out snake, so that he could bring in his creations next time with smash. That's pretty clever.

 

[Akibared]

RE7 please!

Didn't you say you'll stop mentioning Snake if he wasn't confirm?

Don't know if it makes it this year, but they should announce it.

 

[tonyh24613]

Not made by Sakurai, though. Also a Rosalina spin-off made by EPD seems more likely to happen.

 

[Aostia]

Sakurai will work on FE if he will still develop for Nitendo

 

[Hatchtag]

Wasn't KI:U started as a prototype without Kid Icarus characters, a la Smash Bros without Nintendo characters? I wouldn't be surprised if his next project starts similarly. Plus if he could get Kid Icarus to sell decently, he probably could get the majority of their IPs to.

 

[Diffense]

Kid Icarus Uprising eventually became a million seller which was a nice achievement for a dormant franchise. IMO, it sold on its own merits and did more from the franchise than the franchise did for it.

I'm guessing that he'll be working with Nintendo again and probably making something for the new hardware. Heck, that was probably in the planning stages while he was busy with Smash updates.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Kid Icarus NX would be my dream title honestly.

Just port Smash 4 over to NX and make it cross-play at launch, we don't need a new Smash yet

Didn't KI:U start as a Star Fox game?

 

[Nocturno999]

Please be excited forever.

 

[Jackano]

In a previous thread I was afraid Sakurai will not necessary work with Nintendo for his next project.
However the way he says it's already decided, make it feel like it's Nintendo again. So, what a relief!

Last time he took care of a forgotten but known IP for the new Nintendo hardware. Obviously his next game is for NX. I feel like that could be Kirby again, or even Fire Emblem. There is no smoke without fire, IMO it's very possible he is doing a FE spin-of.
Other than that it's pure guess.

 

[TheDinoman]

Fuck no. Kid Icarus needs to remain on rails.

2/3 of Uprising wasn't on-rails. The stage design for ground segments were typically linear, but not "on-rails".

Didn't KI:U start as a Star Fox game?

Not exactly.

The process for KIU's early development process went like this: Iwata wanted Sakurai to make a new non-SSB game for their upcoming handheld (which ended up as the 3DS) and Sakurai came up with an idea for a action game that would switch between aerial and grounded combat, and Iwata suggested they could use a pre-existing Nintendo IP for it. Star Fox was one of the considerations, but ultimately Sakurai went with Kid Icarus as he felt that property and universe fit the style of gameplay he was going for.

So he briefly considered to make it a Star Fox game but ultimately chose Kid Icarus. It wasn't initially a SF game that wounded up being reskinned into KI halfway into development, if that's what you're asking.
