An Irritated Zippo Roasts Fake Rumors.




Hello. I'm back. Before I can get to things I actually want to talk about, there's some nonsense we need to clear up. I hate drama, and this is probably going to be the only time that I acknowledge this shit, but people have been asking my thoughts and I guess it's time to put them out there.  I didn't want to talk about it, but this made me very crabby. 

Let's tackle the first one.

A few days ago, I was made aware of some "rumors" going around, the first video I saw about this came from a YouTuber known as RGT85 (Ugh. Yikes.) covering some alleged report from from a YouTuber named Nintendo Prime about Next Level Games doing the rumored remaster of F-Zero GX.

This is complete and utter nonsense. NLG is doing no such thing. This F-Zero GX remaster is being handled by a Japanese studio. 

Next Level is currently working on three projects, one of which is a follow-up to Luigi's Mansion 3. F-Zero is very much not one of them. This makes literally no sense and how it's gotten this far is mind numbing. It's dumb and wrong. 

Next. There's another alleged report coming from some literal who Famiboards poster with no track record who goes by Professor Chops. They go on to claim that Vicarious Visions was at one point was making a Donkey Kong Game. 

I'm sure you've already figured this out, but this is complete and utter bollocks. Anyone worth their salt should have sniffed this out as being bullshit immediately. 

Even the troglodytes over at Reddit's gaming leaks and rumors discussion aren't buying this. That says something.

Nothing about this makes any sense, the timeline does not remotely line up, and this shit gets even more ridiculous when this dummy goes on to claim that this was 3D, it's very, very clear by the post that this noodle brain has something against the notion of Donkey Kong remaining as a 2D game, claiming that it isn't "ambitious" enough for him. 

If this was "common knowledge" to insiders and people with knowledge on the situation, it would be out there. This is hogwash. Pun intended.

I have some "bad" news for you, Pork Chops. 

Once again. The game is 2D. It'll be a fusion of elements from Country and Jungle Beat. I'm very, very sorry (I'm not btw) that reality is going to smash you in the face like DK's massive fists, but it is what it is. I simply reported what I heard, and I will make no apologies about it.

No, there is no open world DK game in development, and there probably won't be for a hot minute.  YouTubers did what they do best and reported these dogshit "rumors" with no fact checking. Embarrassing.

Also, Nintendo Prime, if this was your strike to get into the world of gaming insiders (something I still don't recommend btw), then you struck out horribly. Try again. 


(This is sarcasm by the way, please don't.)


Basically, TL;DR:




With that outta my system, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight.

    The name "Donkey Kong Freedom" alone was a major red flag. Smacks of being a fake rumor name. I'd maybe trust the rumor a bit more if the Vicarious Visions founders leaving to establish Velan Studios lined up with when the DK game was moved in-house, seeing as Velan's first game release was a Nintendo one (when else has an outside studio started out by working with Nintendo). That would make me think that Nintendo followed the founders to Velan, but they left when the DK project was supposedly very early in development, so...no reason to think open-world DK is coming

    Famiboards believe in fake rumors unless it's against you. Typical contrarian detractor culture in inside discussion. 😛

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...
