True. But it is still selling. Why would Nintendo release a sequel and cut off the legs of this evergreen? Much more likely would be a Splatoon 3 since the second game's sales have slowed down and it's not getting updates anymore.
I support this!
Could surprise Switch remasters/ports from the Wii U be in the cards for late 2019?! How often are games like that announced just 2-3 months from release?
It took thirteen posts for someone to suggest an outlandish idea that nevertheless gets me unreasonably excited. :(
GameXPlain knew about the direct. They didn't whip this up in 17 minutes lol.
They're one of my favorite things about Directs.
my dream is a remake of the first two games in one game
After I made my post I pulled up a gameplay video from Youtube. I haven't seen the game in probably over a decade, but watching this video put a huge smile on my face. I don't care if it's nostalgia or not. I want more. That is probably wishful thinking. I don't think many people other than us (lol) are clamoring for more Eternal Darkness. Hell, that game Denis Dyack was pitching on kickstarter years ago as a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness couldn't get funding and was canceled. Not many people care unfortunately.They fully own the IP. Shadow of the Eternals was pitched as a spiritual successor, since Dyack doesn't have the IP.
Outside of the combat the game really does hold up surprisingly well. The magick system is really cool still.

To be fair, Funky runs his shop from Tropical Freeze with his parrot. He is dating Klubba from Donkey Kong Country 2, who is now a successful businessman after investing his 75 bonus coins. Klubba is also semi-dating Kalypso, a secret agent for K. Rool who now goes by the undercover name K. Pop. Klubba disagrees with Kalypso's pro-K.Rool beliefs and helps the Kongs. Kalypso comes around at the end. Everyone breaks up because a toxic dynamic develops.
Candy Kong has a girlfriend. She and DK are good friends. Enguarde and Squitter are back.
Wrinkly and Cranky Kong kiss. Mayor Pauline renews Wrinkly and Cranky's wedding vows at New Donk City Hall. Wrinkly dies permanently at the end of the game, her soul finally at peace. But she will be back in Mario Kart 9 and future Donkey Kong games.
There will still be Funky memes, but they will take a backseat to Lanky and Wrinkly memes.
Wasn't there a Nintendo exec that kinda hinted at wave race last year?My dream is and always will be a new Wave Race.
But I also wish Nintendo got inspired by the recent nostalgia-wave of Crash Racing and so on and just did a remake of Wave Race 64, with that same sweet soundtrack and scarlet sunset, but in a glorious new packaging.
None of that will be in this direct of course.
Can we have both please?
don't worry, Federation Force 2 will tide you over
Ok, I'll bite - why is MML3 apparently coming? I refuse to get hyped unless its a legit rumor ;)
Oh god if we really got this. I'd be so damn happy
BST? I'm sorry, Brexit means the UK loses its spot in the title. CEST or bust.
The big rumor of a publicly cancelled game being revived on the Switch. Some think it's MML3, some think it's Scalebound. They all forget though that the rumor states the game is a ways off from being announced.Ok, I'll bite - why is MML3 apparently coming? I refuse to get hyped unless its a legit rumor ;)

Pathetic.
That's the direct announcement video, not the prediction/discussion video
They've only posted about the Direct getting announced. No predictions video yet.
