This is my assumption as well. Really, they should port and upscale anything from 3DS that will sell. This includes OoT 3D, Majora's Mask, A Link Between Worlds, and Samus Returns. For a release schedule that has been a little thin, these are all excellent fillers that they can treat as major releases. lol
True. This is the last gen I'm willing to re-buy ports because we need to save GameCube/Wii/3DS games and modernize them with widescreen, HD, updated controls, and ability to play it on the TV. I think just porting everything over would be brilliant.
Not unlikely considering skyward sword is just a remaster, ocarina of time probably the 3ds version remastered and it's the 35 anniversary of the franchise.
A franchise is 2 or more games. Astral Chain is a new IP that was half-owned by Nintendo and half by Platinum, I'm not sure who owns what now. Nintendo published it and owns the publishing rights. I have no idea exactly who funded what or if they work with them in the same manner as they do HAL or Intelligent Systems since they have a long storied relationship with those. Maybe they did, but I can't find any information on it.
There won’t be a substantial Direct until their E3 Digital Event imo. It’s May on Saturday, far too close to E3 now. I think we’ll get a Zelda focused Direct in August with Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD ports announced for September and maybe a BotW 2 update depending on when it’s coming.
we will see but I really doubt it. look at mario and it was its anniversary too, we only got all stars...
I can provide the information on that.
Mario's anniversary lasted the whole fiscal year (the celebrations were planned for April before the pandemic happened). So as well as all stars the anniversary included Paper Mario: Origami King, Mario 35, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit and 3D World + Bowser Fury. I'm not saying Zelda will get that much but it wouldn't be at all surprising for Zelda to get a bunch of different games in the current fiscal year.
Droughts and Nintendo are pretty common tbh.
Yes, many games are funded by several parties, but they would also state it so in the first place. Not in the case of Astral Chain.
The Virtual Boy title remake is enough for me to say that it's an obvious fake. Theirs other things but that's the big one.
Switch doesnt even have netflix after six years. Full. Blown. Crisis.
Salty about what? I don't game on nintendo platforms so I don't know what a drought is. I've too many games to play.
Now you know how Switch owners feel right now!
Outside of a couple of things this isn't even that exciting. I'm expecting the line up between now and the end of 2022 to be way better than what's listed here.
Ok, so regardless of how exciting this leak is - has a leak as big as this one ever turned out to be true? And I mean 100%, not just a couple of games that anyone could've guessed.
The only one I can think of is the Capcom leak.(there's have been Nintendo presentation leaks in the past, but only a day or so before they happen). Apart from that, no.
True, you've sure got a point there!
Seriously. In fact, the only reason I'm tempted to believe it is that it is such a letdown. In spite of a few gems, I'd really hoped for better than that.
Now that third parties are finally embracing Switch I do think we'll get a much better lineup going forward (especially when compared to a terrible 2020).
I dunno, with the technical gap widening quite a but this year, I think it'll keep getting table scraps and enhanced editions of PS3/360 games, but we'll see.
Yeah I would love this, lots of seemingly great games locked to hardware I own but never want to use, and I'd rather play on actual hardware over emulation if the option was given. Kid Icarus: Uprising in particular is a real shame to still be locked to the 3DS, would've been a perfect game to port to Wii U.
Yes maybe that's a but too far, but I think its safe to say that ma y third parties are now onboard on Switch and therefore the lineup will be stronger going forward than it has been in the past (especially when COVID is dealt with). Games with huge files sizes like COD will probably still not make it, but if 2021 so far is anything to go by then most third parties will be putting out Switch projects fairly regularly.
At the pace games are released now, I don't feel like much is missed in terms of third party support. PS360 games are almost as good as PS4/X1 games once they get some enhancement treatment, and let's be real: Switch is never going to handle full ports from PS4/X1. I would almost prefer to play the PS360 greatest hits enhanced, full HD, and 30/60 fps than to get poor man ports of current stuff.
Drought what? I just got super mario 3d world, Monster Hunter rise, Kingdoms of amalaur re-reckoning, Bravely default 2, Outer worlds, and a bunch of indies. All came out in the last 1-3 months.
I'd rather get the ports than not at all. Switch's library this year has been improved by the existence of things like Crash 4, Little Nightmares 2 and Persona 5 Strikers.
