Metroid Prime 4 is never coming out. They entertained the idea of releasing it, even let some devs kid design some box art and some test footage as a joke, but the fact is we were NEVER getting MP4.

And that's a good thing!

It's just going to be the Mario 40th. They will announce it on the 10th and it will air on the 12th. It will be sometime in the afternoon, unlike regular directs. 1pm PST/5pm EST. You can expect to see a trailer for Mario Movie 2, a port of Galaxy 2 for Switch 2 (because Mario Movie 2 involves Rosalina) and finally a teaser that a new 3d Mario game is in development and will release in 2026.

The general direct will be in Sept, but I don't know what week, the only thing I know is that it will have a big focus on Metroid Prime 4.

I sooner expect to start pissing chocolate milk. Why are the autists who love posting their imagination as official news so obsessed with Galaxy 2 by the way? If we we're gonna get it jt would have been with 3D Allstars. There will be no Allstars 2. Get over it.

Super Mario Bros released in Japan Sept 13th, 1985. There is no point in having a direct a week before and then celebrating. A direct then is 5AM for Japan, early for sure, but on the day of the anniversary.

Takahashi briefly addresses that Retro did indeed hit a snag on the game and that they are delaying it before moving on to something completely different. That, or it'll just be a Mario thing. Or maybe even nothing at all since it's alleged to air on a Friday at the latest, a day that they never do

They didn't want to load up on animation. They want as many different styles as they can, to show that they have different kinds of movies that various kinds can enjoy. Live action was preferred for Zelda because they don't want to seem like it is specifically for kids. Zelda movie is targeting teens. They will likely go for much the same if a Metroid movie is ever made. The DK movie will be your other animated feature because it is seen as more silly and thus kid friendly.

Wildcard prediction but I think we will see a switch 2 upgrade for 3d world including new characters, namely daisy with her super mario run double jump, toadette with some higher speed stats and lower jumps than mario but still not high jumpwise and not as low speedwise as toad, and dk with a scaled back version of his bananza moveset
>>
>>719606813
I kinda feel like we'd know about remasters of 2/3 by now. Either that, or that they'd be announced before Prime 4. But the fact that Prime 4 was properly revealed with no remasters of 2/3 in between the one of 1 makes me think Retro just moved straight to 4. And as much as I'd like to say that a release date for Prime 4 is an expectation, I'm still bracing myself for it to just be about Mario

Nothing matters until they bring the price down. It’s just not going to sell at $500+. There’s a reason they stopped bragging about sales after the second week.

Once the price comes down I want to hear about Smash, ideally with a new director and a priority on making the online play enjoyable.

As much as the Switch needed an upgrade, I still maintain that they have a bigger software problem than a hardware problem. There was a serious lack of new games on Switch 1, and it’s not like they can just port up games nobody played from the previous generation this time around. I’d love to see some “New Classics” announcement, where they commit to releasing smaller 16-bit scale games every few months to maintain a stream of new content. Bring back the “handheld tier” of games.

Correction: they shipped more switch2s to retailers than switch1s for the launch window. Even Nintendo hasn’t claimed sell-through numbers. Why do you think they increased the price of Switch1? Tarriffs? LMAO those consoles were manufactured and imported a year ago. They need to make it look like less of a value next to the new system. Nintendo is not a stupid company. They know exactly how much they can squeeze out of their millennial manchild core audience, and they know that as soon as they are forced to cut the price, every one of the suckers with buyers remorse will immediately pivot to a “well it was totally worth $550 to me” cope.

>Why do you think they increased the price of Switch1? Tarriffs? LMAO those consoles were manufactured and imported a year ago
To offset the tariffs on Switch 2, retard?
And btw, you don't ship millions of Switch 1 consoles a year in advance. You'll have to pay out of your ass for storing them for that long. Unless you mean Switch 1 has been collecting dust on retailer shelves for a year. In that case, you are a retard.

They already did make Switch 2 look like it has better value by not dropping Switch 1 price.
So many people here were saying for years that once Switch 2 is out Nintendo will drop the price of Switch 1 and I always told them that's counterproductive because it will make Switch 1 look like a better deal when they want to sell Switch 2.

>aonuma's formula
you delusioned uncultured fuck, this is Miyamoto's hakoniwa minituare garden playground sandbox design. Aonuma just sucks his pal's dick and they together realized that vision in Breath of the Wild. But guess what, dungeons, item progression, and better story telling and plot can coincide with the new formula.
>>
>>719618495
so far they've only done

mario kart
DK 3D platformer

so they still have plenty of scope to add new entries in every since one of their series for their new console

it's really fucking weird that they launched switch 2 without having made almost any games for it

Are they adding more games to get free Switch 2 performance boosts?

LMAO you couldn’t be more of a stupid faggot. No wonder you believe fake 6M sell-through that hasn’t been updated since week 2.
>>
>>719618728
Unlikely. That'd require the devs (KT, IS, whoever developed LM3, etc) to update their games themselves, and their dev teams most likely disbanded already.
Also why Smash didn't get an update. Only house Nintendo stuff gets done + Pokemon.
Animal Crossing might get an update but like who really gives a shit
>>
>>719603683
All I want is gens 1-3 of Pokemon on Switch/2. I don't know why this is a difficult thing for them. Nintendo has a service in place with GB/C/A and they're doing an official smogon now so save stated/cloned Pokemon shouldn't be a problem. Fuck, I don't even care if they don't have Home support.
>b-but sales on new slop
They released 1 and 2 on 3DS. Next gen still hasn't been announced and all they have is ZA who's sales wouldn't be cannibalized by ROMs.
>>
>>719618728
You'll have them dripfed slowly through the entire generation with multiple unpopular games getting priority for seemingly no reason and you'll be thankful.
>>
>>719603683
I don't blame people for expecting but I feel we should've learned long ago that the best thing is to expect nothing when it comes to Nintendo. Hard to even say when the last time they had a solid direct was.

Hopes:
> Third parties feed, I mean A LOT, Switch 2 need to be feed it with this, and seriously I hope Silent Hill 2 (Bloober says that want the system like a Horror games home, and release Cronos on it, sooo...) I expect Expedition 33, Resident Evil´s released, FF, Kingdom HEarts, Metaphor, Tekken 8, GTAIV, RDR2, etc...
> first party games at least one more for this year.
> MOre GameCube realeased games
> No more Key Card
> SUper MArio Special Direct announced
> MKWorld DLC´s DK related
> Splatoon Raiders info
> MP4 release date

FEARS:
> 25 mins about DLCs shit (MKWorld or BAnanza)
> More Key CArds at 70$
> 30 mins about Pokemon ZhiAts...

Expectations:
> shit ports again and again
> FFVII Remake shits

>>719621108
Key Cards were a pandora's box I wish Nintendo didn't unleash. Even if they make cheaper normal carts, devs are still going to cheap out and use the key cards.

wtf are they doing? the general audience has lost what little hype and intrigue they had and even the hardcore fans are shrugging their shoulders, exhausted. what little they’ve shown of this game looks very ‘okay.’ pretty good movement mechanics and shooting, but basic braindead enemy AI and what little they’ve shown of the puzzles looks like wagglan shit. fuck

If September only gets a Mario Direct, especially if it's basically only going to be a whole bunch of shit except for new games, then the panic and uneasiness/impatience is going to skyrocket. Which wouldn't be totally unfounded IMO.

this would be huge if they could somehow enable creation of mario 64 levels.

>>719621916
Nothing's going to kill Christmas sales, but I still think sales are going to get extremely rocky after the holiday season. Especially depending on what all they announce soon. I know they're going to aggressively push Tomodachi Life 2 as basically be their substitute for Animal Crossing.

This is why sandbox gameplay was such a horrible idea for Zelda - it's conditioned players to be spoiled brats who now think that not having devtool level powers from the start of the game or being allowed to do whatever you want whenever is "stuffy" or "outdated".

There's only Rhythm Heaven and Tomodachi Life. I doubt there will be many more. Maybe the long rumoured FE4 remake.

Other than those and Splat Raiders (which could be a Switch 2 exclusive), are there any other confirmed 2026 releases?

It's not real. I believed it myself, but I eventually realized that it came from Sigurd's prominence in Engage. I choose to believe in a brand FE game though.
