Sabi doing leaks. Some Batman Shadows Edition. Telltale I guess? Maybe this is what Geoff was talking about not getting what was rumored

The artstyle will be about the same but a different development team will have different ideas for art direction so I think Retro will mostly start from ground zero.
I find it hard to believe Retro studios will not basically start from scratch. It's going to be their designs and philosophies now. They should have an idea what art direction they want.
Sabi is annoying. The event is in 5 hours. You're breaking NDA for a drip of clout for an announcement that nobody should be surprised that you have, considering the event is, again, in 5 hours.
Tbf this was probably a good leak since there were higher expectations on Batman, but yeah let's hope the real big stuff doesn't get leaked.
Is there a precedent for continued work on games that are being withheld?
If MPT does exist and it's been held back this long, I'd be less pleased if it were a straight port. I don't mind waiting a bit longer for a game when it's delayed to make it better, but I'd hate if all the time it's sat on it's just being left as is.

Yeah I'm kind of expecting Nintendo is just sitting on it and not doing anymore extra work to it
Probably not. Next year will be a crazy year for me on a personal and emotional level.
I'm glad you had fun with the speculation while it lasted.
Yikes, I mean i can understand if it's held back a couple months at most, but when it's more than a year it feels like a bit of a p*ss take.
Do either of you feel like Nintendo (or whoever they've contracted to do the port) is still improving/polishing during this time, ala Pikmin 3 in preparation for Pikmin 4? Or are they really sitting on a finished product, as they are apparently wont to do?
with several companies going the distance to actually remake old games, Nintendo doing jack with MPT would be a slap in the face. I'd rather they tackle them one at a time and give them each a solid effort than give us a rerelease or the Wii trilogy.
edit: Nintendo did it themselves with LA - so we know they have it in them
I don't think Anything unannounced will appear at game awards from Nintendo.
we'll get cranky kong and be happy about it.
I half expect a new animal crossing trailer.

I would love it if they updated some of the models and textures .. maybe threw on some normal maps and a new lighting system and called it good. I'd be fine with that
I guess it depends on the quality of the work already done. If the character models all looked good and were rigged well there's no reason they can't be tweaked visually to fit the art style Retro wants to put out. I'm guessing things like environmental art will be a bit more different comparing between the two teams but even still, things like rocks, cliffs, trees, barrels, missiles, etc. can probably translate quite easily to the rebooted project with minimal changes.
Things like level/world design, game mechanics, story, presentation, music, etc. would all likely need to be done from scratch but I don't really see a reason why they can't reuse at least some of the existing assets. I guess we could find out when we eventually see the game's credits.
The Bayo double-pack begs to differ. I'd say it can go either way.
I don't think Mother 3 is ever happening outside of a full remake where they can redesign the magypsies
Yup Come on guys. Its just like Bayonetta 1&2, which were announced close to the Bayonetta 3 release. Is that so hard to understand?!?! So obvious.
Damn you.
Very nice! Looks like we're in for another GOAT year, 3/4 for Switch.
Thanks for giving some comments regarding this, btw. It's very much appreciated!
I feel like Nintendo is trying to position Metroid Prime as a top western franchise this time whereas Bayo was aimed at a particular segment.
Reggie used that gif recently.

I don't like Zelda or Mario that much, that would be a meh year for me. I need some ape action in my life. 2020 will belong to the ape family!
That'd be a crazy amazing year. BOTW was my favourite game on Switch so far, SMO is fourth. Having both sequels in 2020 would make me so giddy!
all that's missing would be:
mario kart
splatoon spin off
arms 2
3-4 switch
mario + rabbids 2
I'm hoping for a Metroid 5 this year. We know a 2D Metroid was in the works in 2017, and I really hope it's not another remake.
Also I can see Paper Mario happening, and probably a Super Mario Party 2.
Add all that to BotW2, Odyssey 2, and a couple third party Nintendo published games (like MUA3) and we're looking at a great year.

We've already got Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition so that covers the Xenoblade spot from 2015 lol
Prime 4's timing will depend on quite a few things;
What, if anything, could be salvaged from the first go round with, presumably, Bandai Namco?
When did Retro officially take the reigns, and make MP4 their main focus? They announced the change Jan 25th, was Retro already days/weeks/months in, or literally starting that day? (and were they working on anything else that could've split their resources at the time that I assume got shelved? If so, when?)
And moving into 2021/22, what is the timing or likelihood for Switch 2's release? Should this be a cross gen title like BOTW?
...I just really want some HD Metroid, man. 2D or 3D.

Apparently the Batman Shadows Edition guy also leaked The Wolf Among Us 2 revival with low-quality gif footage. That's exciting for Telltale fans.
None of us know how much they were able to salvage from the original project but a 3 year dev cycle isn't anything out of the ordinary even when you're not starting completely from scratch.
I'm saying it might be less than 3 years.
AFAIK nobody (reputable) actually rumored BotW2 being there, right?
Nope. As of now we have ZERO rumors of any kind of Nintendo game at the Game Awards
honestly it looks like outside of this little oasis in NintendEra and die hard Zelda fans, no one is even really predicting BoTW2 to be there?
That's the feeling that i get from Twitter, anyway.
Either way - what's the countdown look like? 4 hours?
too bad imma be asleep
