At least you didn't call Spider-man niche so it's not that bad :p
Like Mario leaps in the new 2D Mario platformer with hand drawn art style I can only assume you confirmed with that comment?
Sure do! Like this one:
Which makes zero sense, because Nintendo announces games for release ~5 months or less in advance all the time. Super Mario Maker 2, Labo, Arms (all of which were announced in January for Q2, btw), Super Mario Party, the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remake they literally just announced...and none of those are Wii U ports. Hell, they announced Ring Fit Adventure barely a month out. Nintendo is not a "announce every game years in advance" company, so I don't see why you would act like it's impossible that they'd announce something new for Q2. Hell, judging by the last three years, we should expect them to.
I wasn't just referring to internal teams though. Next Level Games, Game Freak, Sora Ltd., and Intelligent Systems (even with Koei Tecmo's heavy support) are all working on DLC. Monolith Soft is working on XC: Definitive Edition and eventually their new IP later down the line. Retro Studios just restarted Metroid Prime 4 last year, so they're busy. Grezzo just came off of Link's Awakening and will likely take some time to tackle a new project. Animal Crossing takes up most of the Splatoon team's time, so there isn't likely to be anything Splatoon related either, and EPD in general are fairly focused with work on BOTW 2, Super Mario Maker 2 updates, and Mario Kart Tour as well as just having completed Ring Fit Adventure and Brain Age. Alpha Dream went bankrupt so they're out.
There's a lot of Nintendo's development studios that are either already working on known projects, DLC, or are actively coming off of larger ones. I just don't know how much surprise that we can realistically expect. Like, there are obviously some candidates for surprises, but I don't really expect this year to wow us with new announcements like last year given where we're at and what we already know.
Yep, I agree.
MP4 and Pikmin 4 are the only titles we know that have development problems, but perhaps there have been some more. We also suspect at least one canned project at Retro too (although a part of me is still holding on to a DK!)
Add in the delays we saw to FE, LM3, and AC - and Yoshi, but sense that was ready and just strategically moved.
Dont take this as negativity by the way - I think they've clearly stumbled on numerous problems (not surprising with 3DS teams moving onto Switch) but have still done a great job at keeping the slate steady - and driving some solid 3rd party partnerships too.
I dont think it's a case of "what could or should have been" either. I think there's a bottleneck in the road ahead, and we'll see a very strong H2 20/H1 21 as a result.
I also have the feeling that if Mario 3D world did release in January like many of us thought, and if Nintendo sprinkled a few smaller original games like boxboy or Tetris 99 (it could still happen), or even Sports Story, the general perception of H1 would have been somehow better.
I'm with you regarding games experiencing delays, reboots or cancellations internally, though it's hard to estimate to which extent.
3D World is probably the most Nintendo looking game in existence if their theme park is anything to judge by, so like the theme park I think it'll be out in time for the Olympics.
Do we know for certain that Monolith is doing XCDE? They are also working on BotW2, I believe.
So if I think the lineup is bad, I'm not allowed to say so to avoid triggering Animal Crossing fans? Didn't know folks were so sensitive.
I know it's not an objective truth, I just think the game (that type of game) is crap, to me. Therefore the lineup sucks, to me.
Not gonna lie this thread always becomes very hard to read and endure after Christmas and throughout of Q1. I partially blame Nintendo for not spreading out their releases better and partially the impatient people who almost 3 years later still don't understand how Nintendo operates.
Certain folks here also leap to wild conclusions elsewhere on Era *cough*MC threads*cough*
Yep, I think that's true too.
I think it's a mixture of inevitable development challenges and, frankly, Nintendo being very decisive with their release slate - in that, they are first and foremost focused on growing the install base. Which makes absolute sense, of course, but a few extra bones chucked in the general direction of the mass first party consumers wouldn't go amiss!
Trials of Mana, and Xenoblade which is very likely. Then there is also The Outer Worlds for Western stuff. Of course there is two big DLCs with Fire Emblem and Pokemon.
Yep, this is true too. I don't know whether its necessarily something they would have aimed to marry up from the get-go, but certainly the closer the two are in a release schedule the more likely a senior marketing person is going to see the opportunity.
That said, don't expect these things to naturally be seized upon. The guys marketing the game probably dont know the guys marketing the theme park - at least, they certainly wont be chatting day-to-day!
The Outer Worlds is coming too, probably sometime in the first half.
If we keep believing, maybe something will eventually happen.
"I don't like it", "I'm disappointed" =/= "this is crap"
I don't come to ResetEra to get the same hyperbolic takes I could read on 4chan or Gamefaqs.
In Europe it releases on february 28th, I don't know about the release date in the US.
Outside
Honestly I'd add DLC to that list too. Not the same as a retail release of course, but DLC expansions seem to be getting a bigger focus than ever. First half seems to be padded by new content from Smash, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, and Luigi's Mansion.
How is my thinking the lineup is bad hyperbole? So you're saying I must either stop believing the lineup is bad, or quit posting my opinions? Way to elevate the discourse.
Here I'll rephrase it to make you happy: I'm disappointed in the first half lineup because it is very bad, although I am truly happy for folks who enjoy things such as AC.
As someone who's beaten trials of mana several times, and is day one for the remake
I hope people aren't propping it up a bit much here lol.
I mean it's great (at least the og) to me, but there's a lot of issues with it. It's just not a Xenoblade 1 tier
just trying to avoid backlash that has happened several times in the past when smaller games kind of occupy a month to themselves
I think it's late 2020

Feels way too early imo for a game we haven't seen gameplay.

You're still doing the same thing, doing a value judgement.
You won't change your stance, and I won't, so let's stop arguing.
Oh please ! Old console sprites and folders for all ! 😅 I spent too much money on 3DS !
Out of curiosity, are there any more RPG's coming this year from Nintendo? You say that the other two genres/categories outlined here will get more additions, but not the RPG category.
