Nintendo's Insane News Explosion Part 2.





Okay, here we go. Going to do things a bit differently. So here's part two of this shindig.

The remaining huge Nintendo announcements:


Nintendo Switch Online Price Hike:

This just happened, and I'll be frank here. 
Absolutely not, Nintendo. A thirty dollar price increase just for some N64 and Genesis ROMS is indefensible, and anyone who bothers to defend this slimy shit is an embarrassment to this hobby. 

No. fuck off.


Anyway, off to more exciting, positive things.

Bayonetta 3:



Finally. Four long years arduous years of waiting, and we finally get to see gameplay of the game many thought was going to be vaporware. This game has had a  nightmarish development, let me tell ya. That's a story for another day. 
Anywho, It looked pretty good. Combat looked as solid as ever, I'm really liking that it's going for a more technological vibe, and I'm digging Bayo's new look. This has truly been a long time coming, and I'm happy to see the witch back in action.


Kirby and the Forgotten Land:



I just...wow. Kirby is finally making his full 3D debut, and I couldn't be more hyped. I'm actually stunned by how good it looks. This game has a development cycle of about five and a half years, and it shows. The team thought long and hard about how to properly translate Kirby into 3D and they've done an immaculate job. I'm genuinely curious to see how all of Kirby's copy abilities will all work in this new plane, and I think people are really going to be surprised by how natural it feels. The game is gorgeous, and I'm very intrigued into what happened to what looks to be an empty Planet Earth. As of now, this is my anticipated game of next year, no question. It's a wonderful way to celebrate 30 years of the pink puffball, and I'm popping out the champagne and confetti in anticipation.


Sora Is In Smash Bros.:



Still a week later and I can't even believe it.

I'm in utter disbelief that my dream character happened and my brain has tried to convince me that this isn't real. 

But it is. He looks incredible, top to bottom. It's like Sakurai and his team just took KH1 Sora and threw him into Smash. Bless Daddy Sakurai for giving all of his iconic outfits.
Sora and Banjo in this game alone made that $60 dollars worth it to me. Everything else is just icing. Hallow Bastion was the perfect stage choice. This was a perfect way to end a game that can be summed up as a sheer and utter miracle. I've watched that trailer and have gotten teary eyed every single time I've watched it. 10/10.

Also. Mario is a keyblade warrior now. 11/10.

This article once again got too long, so I'm going to end this here and in a few hours, I'll have my thoughts/rundown of some huge Nintendo Switch rumors as well as a few tiny scoops of my own. 

Stay tuned.

The Next 3D Mario Is Ready To Go.

Image
  2024 is here, and after an insanely long six years of waiting, I'm now hearing that the next 3D Mario, set to launch with Nintendo's brand spankin' new console, was finished over the holiday season. This is standard Nintendo practice, many of their big games are done well before release. As was said before, this is EPD Tokyo's first full attempt at an open world game, and the game is said to look " Absolutely jaw-dropping". I can confirm a few other new things as well: Donkey Kong will appear in the game in some form. I'm unsure if he's playable, a boss, or an extended cameo of some sort. Given how Mario and DK have appeared as a pair in pretty much everything as of late, which includes the movie, LEGO sets, a remake of Mario Vs. DK, and now in theme park promotions, it only makes sense to continue that trend.  Luigi, Peach, Captain Toad and Pauline will all appear as well, though I'm unsure what roles they'll play in the game.  The other, mu...

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

Image
We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Mario Kart X Will Release In 2025.

Image
Now that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has finally come to an end, in spectacular fashion I might add, now the question being asked is "Well, what's next?"  Well, I finally have some more insight on that. The tenth (no, not ninth) installment of the Mario Kart series will release in 2025, which will be Switch 2's second year on the market. The intention is to release the title sometime before the system's second holiday on the market.  The title is being developed primarily by Nintendo EPD Production Group 9, with Bandai Namco Studios once again co-developing.  Additionally, Nintendo are sparring absolutely no expense with this game. This is apparently one of the most expensive games Nintendo has ever put into production. The next 3D Mario title is said to be "absolutely dropping" and this apparently looks even better. The game's visual fidelity is said to be a very high priority for them, meaning the game is gonna look good, damn goo...
