I was walking my dog the other day, as I cope with the ongoing COVID lockdown in my province. Technically speaking, I shouldn't even be out since not being allowed to go on walks or to parks is a part of the lockdown. But I digress, my dog was a good puppers, so he gets what he deserves, inneffectual measures be darned. I was thinking, during my walk, about the Nintendo Switch Pro, and how Nintendo plans on upgrading the Nintendo Switch 25 Million annual sales to 30 million sales, and how they'd garner that 30 million sales in a year without Animal Crossing.
Now, I've seen the speculation that it could be BOTW2, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4 and the likes, but I really think as Nintendo fans we would do well to think bigger than just Nintendo doing the predictable "good moves" we see. It's Nintendo after all, the guys who refuse to give us Mother 3, but instead give us Super Mario Bros. 35. Who refuse to give us a port of Super Smash Bros. Melee, but give us Balloon Fight on every console. So surely they're going to do something we don't expect, heck maybe our small brains are too tiny for us to even be able to speculate as to their true plans. It's well known, after all, that Nintendo is actually a supercomputer powered by the connected brains of Shigeru Miyamoto, Shuntaro Furukawa, Masahiro Sakurai, Aya Kyogoku, and Kenichi Imaeda.
This supercomputer goes to predict and inform the staff of Nintendo of all future market conditions and creative trends. This is how Nintendo does things such as getting in on the Battle Royale trend months before other publishers are even aware of it, with entries such as Tetris 99, Super Mario Bros. 35, and Pac-Man 99, exclusive to Nintendo Switch, free to all Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Nintendo Switch Online costs just $3.50 USD/month or $20 USD/year, and gives access to over 130 games with the subscription. Redeem the code SUNSHINE on the eShop to get less than 50% off on your Nintendo Switch Online subscription at checkout, as well as a beautiful red message stating "The code should be 16 digits long". Offer available worldwide except Quebec.
Now, with this in mind, I'd like you, fellow Nintendo fans, to consider with me that the next title is not a new IP, but also isn't a rehash of anything existing. Instead, what if Nintendo's goal to reach 30 million units is to be achieved by a game that pits players against one another using the characters we all know and love from Nintendo's vast repertoire of games. Doing contests of 1v1, this would be the most ambitious project by Nintendo yet. Now, you may be thinking "doesn't this sound familiar"? And I must commend you, comrade, for your astute observation and expansive knowledge of Nintendo and Nintendo accessories. This does, so far sound like it may be too similar to Super Mario Bros. VS. However, I would like to propose one further idea to add icing to the cake: Nintendo's ambitious 1v1 competitive game to pit fans against each other is a racing game. One that takes place in a cyberpunk future, wherein all humans and animals have somehow become marine animals that evolved to traverse and live on land.
Now you don't have Mario as a human, but instead you have Mario as a sea cucumber. It doesn't just have to be Mario characters either. We could see, for instance, wonderful time-honoured characters like Star Fox return as a plecostomous, or Spyro as a beluga whale. Truly, the possibilities are endless. And this type of idea, this type of creativity, is what I implore to extend upon you, my Nintendo compadres. This sort of unique, entirely original ideation of non-derivative works. Heck, if you wanna get really out there, I fully support that decision. Like what if Peach was a lungfish, or Zelda a swordfish.
Anyways, so this is my proposal and prediciton as to what Nintendo's planning to do. I hope it's inspired you to really think outside the box, because this E3 Nintendo will be pulling their ideas from beyond the boundaries of your imagination, and I'd like to see more people on board with me.
P.S. If Nintendo wishes to use this idea, you're free to, I simply ask to be included in the Special Thanks section of the credits. Also, if you can, name it Racing With Mario And Friends In A Post-Marine Future Time: The Wreckoning of Azstoth.
