Nintendo AAA Tities : what comes next?
- Thread starter PenultimateFantasy
- Start date
Yeah true. I'd kill for any official Paper Mario merch. We can hope the series returns to its roots ala Mario Party.
Next year's E3. This year we have lots of announced games to see. I expect some surprise or announcement of course, but something like Zelda needs more attention.
And I think the next thing we will see will be a new game (from Monolith/Retro). And I don't mean a new franchise, I mean a new game, either if it's a new IP or a new genre for an existing one.
I'd say Metroid definitely is not a major franchise. It's only big in fan expectations
Besides the announced stuff, its like 90% sure next year will have a Pokemon game too, since with the release of SWSD they will have their production pipeline set up for at least a remake and a third version before they maybe take a year off for gen 9.
With Mario Odyssey being 2017, a Mario Odyssey 2 in 2020 would make sense too, while a BOTW would probably take another year or so.
AC wont get another release on switch after the one this year i think.
Mario Kart does not really need a sequel when you consider 8DX is now the top selling game on switch, and isnt slowing down sales wise.
2D mario just got NSMBU, and will get MM soon, so that front is also served.
2D zelda is getting the Awakening remake, but maybe they will use said engine to make a new one too.
As for new IP, Monolith is working on something, but that is probably some time in the future.
I would love to see the Splatoon team take on Splatoon in a different genre thb.

Sin & Punishment 3 developed by Treasure and Nintendo.
New Fatal Frame developed by Tecmo and Nintendo.

Sadly treasure is dead or at least doesn't develope games... S&P 3 would make this E3 perfect though...
Nintendo could reassemble the team for one last try though couldn't they? *Sniff*
Since everyone else is facetiously misreading the spelling error against the OP's intent, allow me to be the first to answer this honestly: the next Nintendo adaptation of Titus Andronicus will probably be a return to form for Paper Mario, because which other series would come closer to letting you bake your slaughtered brethren into mushroom pies?
Does Camelot even have the staff for another Golden Sun game now?
Anyway, I'd imagine that we'll get another round of 3D Mario & 3D Zelda games. And Splatoon 3 may have to wait until next-gen, we could get a spin-off in the meantime.
Screw Camelot lol, they aren't the only studio that can make a RPG.
They've made enough mentions of wanting new IPs and bolstered by the success of Splatoon I imagine we'll see one or two more projects in that vein.
Monolithsoft's new projects are also presumably getting a significant resource boost following the success of Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade 2.

I'm pretty sure we'll see another 3D Zelda on Switch using BotW's groundwork. Monolith has also got something cooking. I don't think we'll see a big EPD developed new IP for a while but I could be wrong about that. In the meantime we got Astral Chain as a new IP. That looks pretty ambitious and is owned by Nintendo.
Samus, Peach, Zelda, Pauline, Rosalina, Bayonetta, Daisy...any of them really, could have their own AAA game. Whatever Nintendo does next, I'm looking forward to it!
I think bringing back the Wars IP would be cool, though highly improbable. A new Advance Wars to continue the core series, maybe experiment with an RTS game in the same universe, and maybe even reboot Battalion Wars(modernize the gameplay a bit) or do something similar to it.
Hell, a shooter with an emphasis on local/splitscreen multiplayer with a bunch of novelty modes(stuff like COD's one in the chamber, gun game, sticks and stones). I think Nintendo having a "party shooter" would definitely be cool and fitting for their MO.
Again, highly unlikely stuff but it would cool to see something like that.

This year we'll get info about Retro's new IP. I doubt we'll get it this year because I think Animal Crossing will be this year's big Nintendo game.
