The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

They work for Super Mario Sunshine in Super Mario 3D All-stars. I just used GTA as an example because it's one of the very few games to take advantage of analog triggers on PS and Xbox.

This vid shows how such controls used to be implemented.

Also of note, Resident Evil Veronica and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 will come to Nintendo Switch 2.

You know what? Let's make some crazy predictions! Predictions that this Direct cannot POSSIBLY live up to! Because why not? Let's set those expectations sky high!

Spoiler

I think it's pretty likely that we will get that rumored Ocarina of Time remake for this holiday. That's probably the most likely thing Nintendo could announce. It's possible that could be the only Zelda-related announcement. Other than maybe seeing a bit of the casting or a scene from the live action movie.

We'll probably see a little more of the new Fire Emblem game. Maybe we'll get introduced to a few more of the characters.

It's pretty likely that they'll start rolling out DLC for Mario Kart World. The only question is in what form it'll come in. "Traditional" DLC that just gives you new areas and tracks? Limited-time "Events" that change the courses and lands they already have, like adding different seasons or elemental effects? New collectibles? New crossover characters from other franchises? All the above? Who knows with Nintendo?

I think we'll see SOMETHING for Pokemon. Probably nothing big. But, maybe Colosseum will drop for NSO. Or they'll do a release of Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, like they did with Fire Red/Leaf Green earlier this year.

Kirby's going to get something. Because Kirby ALWAYS gets something. Maybe that rumored Planet Robobot remake will happen? It's probably a little too early for a brand new game. But, maybe we could see some DLC for Air Riders, though.

Hmm...I think something in the Mario-verse is possible. So...how about a new 2D Wario game? Why not? The hook for this one will be that there's actually multiple different currencies from different lands and countries that you can collect and exchange and trade between these different lands for different effects. Wario Land Currency Convergence!

Something Xenoblade-related may be possible. They already remade all the games, so unless they can start going even further back, I don't think it'd be a remake. But, it might be a little early for another new title. Maybe we could see some sort of spinoff? It'd be interesting to see a Xenoblade Metroidvania or a chibi-style Zelda like game or roguelike. Replacing the "Chronicles" name with something else. Xenoblade Memoirs!

We need something completely crazy. Something no one would expect. So...Nintendo announces they'll be making 3 brand new Virtual Boy games releasing exclusively on NSO! A port of the original Metroid, a brand new Tingle mini-game collection, and a new F-Zero game. Everyone is shocked and disgusted.

And the biggest new announcement....a new Kid Icarus game! Action focused. And the hook for this one will be that the Greek-inspired gods are warring against a new pantheon of Egyptian-inspired gods and monsters. Kid Icarus The War Pyramid!

Crazy predictions?

Metroid Federation Force 2/ Prime Hunters 2 - basically, Metroid Blast from Nintendoland realized as a full on proper game similar to Halo.

R.O.B 2 - Amiibo, mouse controls, WiFi and AI chip though leans on Switch 2 processor.

Disaster Day of Crisis remake/remastered

I really just want a new Star Tropics game.
