Getcha Mario Scoops Right 'Ere!

Image
For those who didn't want to scroll through all of my predictions for this year, this is for you.  What I've heard:   I've heard that there is another Mario sports game in development. This time developed by Bandai Namco, who's last installment in the world of Mario sports was Mario Sports Superstars for the 3DS, where they handled the Soccer and Baseball sections. I do not know the sport that they're tackling at this very moment, but my personal prediction would be a new Mario baseball game.  The big one. This is the 30th anniversary of Nintendo's most popular series, and they're planning to celebrate it in a big way, apparently. I've got more details on the next Mario Kart: Logo by my friend and talented artist AstroseedP. What I've Heard: This new game will feature more guest characters and tracks than the previous Mario Kart game. I can reveal three franchises that will be joining Mario and his friends on the circuits this go round: Those being A...

Zippo Predicts 2022 In Gaming, The Finale. (With Scoops!)

It all comes down to this. This is article number fifthy. Let's-A-Go. Breath of the Wild 2 Will Release In November: Some people will never believe it, but I strongly believe that the much anticipated sequel to Breath of The Wild is nearing completion and will arrive in stores in time for the holiday season. I predict a full blowout in June. Unless something catastrophic happens, I believe this actually is a pretty safe prediction. First Look At The Mario Movie:  Can you smell it? Direct hype season has once again arrived, and with it, the first Direct of the year is approaching. I predict in this early year Direct that we will get a peek of the of Mario movie. Not a trailer, but character designs, renders and concept art. People will be surprised with how faithful and on model Illumination's take on the cast of characters actually is. No Generation 9 This Year:  Big surprise. I strongly believe there will not be another mainline Pokemon title this year. Legends Arceus has fan...

Part 3, here we go!  Let's try this again. Apologies for the long wait and the issues. It's been a long day.  Some of these are absurd, so hold on to your butts. Sly Cooper 5 Is Coming:  As was reported last year, a long awaited new installment in the beloved Sly Cooper series is in development. I predict that'll be announced in a Sony showcase this year.  Additionally, it'll be a soft reboot not made by Sucker Punch, but it'll be closely monitored by them. I think a 2023 release is very likely.  Kingdom Hearts IV Will Be Announced: Haha, just as I was finishing these up, the Grubbster drops his scoop.. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Kingdom Hearts. It's obviously going to be a big deal, following off of the heels of Sora being in Smash. I believe the game will start after another time skip, with the gang still searching for Sora. The trailer will be all CG, and vague as possible. Sora, Riku and newcomer Yozora will all be playable in this installment. ...

Hey, I'm back with more predictions, here we go. Mortal Kombat 12 Is Coming Soon: Saying Mortal Kombat 11 was a huge success would be a huge understatement. The game sold like crazy, and the story mode once again impressed many. That said, there's been a lot of discussion over whether or not they would be tackling a new Injustice, MK, or something else entirely. I think WB is making them play it safe, and made them go with a new MK as their first game of this new generation, as well as a big way to celebrate 30 years of the franchise. I predict that every single non guest character from 9, X and 11 will return, and I expect the story to be a giant, crazy mess trying to explain all of it. I can't wait. Kirby Air Ride Remaster: I'm going for a big one. The pink puffball's 30th birthday is soon approaching, and while his debut in 3D will surely be the main attraction,  I think there's more. Air Ride is a game fans have been begging for HAL to return to, and I belie...

Hey, Happy New Year to everyone! I wish everyone good health and fortune this year. First article of the year. I thought it would be fun to predict how the year will turn out. I'm gonna split this into multiple parts, because there's just way too much to predict here. Keep in mind most of these are just for fun, and a few of them are educated guesses. Also, those Star Wars and Spidey articles are done, just gotta fine tune them a bit before they go up. Witout further ado, let's get it going. Logical Predictions: Fire Emblem Genealogy Remake: As of now, there's a remake of a previous Fire Emblem game in development. Thing is, I haven't been able to find out which one. I'm gonna go ahead and predict that the fourth game will get the Echoes treatment. It's never seen an international release, so that's gonna be very exciting to FE fans. Resident Evil 4 Remake Will Be Announced: Let's face it. RE4 remake is one of the worst kept secrets of the last f...
