I don't get it. Metroid for years has had fans screaming "WE WANT THIS SERIES REVIVED!!! PLEASE, NEW METROID NINTENDO!"

Nintendo finally announces 2 and the first reaction to one of them from the same fans is "lol why should I pay for it when I can play fan games :D".

I wasn't a fan of DMCA'ing projects but kinda making it valid now.

This point came up in the thread before, but honestly it's usually just cause they aren't the same voices you are hearing. You could see 10 posts on SA saying a game sucked, but wander off on twitter and see everyone loving that same game.

If it specifically was these guys who were complaining? Then yeah that's dumb, but I don't think that's the majority. I, for one, was asking for a metroid game as well and am quite pleased with the Nintendo announcements.

Eew. I just watched the Xenoblade 2 trailer and it made me wonder if I misremembered how much I liked the first one.

Do we know if it brings anything significant and new to the table? Or is it just different content with similar sensibilities, which were very refreshing way back when?

They tried a different direction for XCX, and a lot of fans didn't like it. They are now trying to stick to most of the same formula from XC for XC2, except for the art style which is obnoxiously anime. Unknown story and art aside, it will still probably be good like the first game was which still is a solid game.

The artbook and developer interviews on XCX point to the game being a lot closer to XB1 when development first began but things got cut pretty hard to get the game out the door and filling Wii U release gaps

Apparently New Donk City is where Pauline lives meaning it could be where the original Donkey Kong took place.
The desert level could maybe be Sarasaland?
I'm hoping there are references and visits to a ton of Mario worlds past, like Subcon, Yoshi's Island, Star Road, Giant Land, or even the world that gave Mario his medical license!

With Cappy's ability to possess enemies and get new powers, they could even let you relive old power ups in a limited way in these worlds. I'm excited by the thought of it.

E: Rewatching the trailer there was a rocket straight out of Mario 2, so I might get my wish.

My son wanted a Link amiibo - literally ANY Link amiibo - and so we went to five different stores last night and didn't see a single Zelda-related one anywhere. Not a Zelda, not a Link, not a Guardian, not a loving Bokoblin. But boy if you want an Animal Crossing amiibo it's a loving festival out there. But I've just signed up for nowinstock alerts because I'll be damned if I'll pay more than MSRP for a loving toy. Glad I pre-ordered the Bayonetta one for the wifey.

I'm stoked for Odyssey but I have to say that New Donk City looks ugly as hell.

The rest of the worlds look vibrant and fun. I'm not saying that the area won't have some fun stuff to do, just visually it looks ugly.

This. This so much. I've been wanting a sandbox mario for so drat long. The Galaxy games were incredible, but god drat 64 and sunshine were sooooo good. I couldn't really get into any of the other "new" classic style mario games that were released based on nostalgia, so I am glad they finally are coming out with Odyssey.

A week after release I tried to find a Zelda amiibo. Out of 8 stores I found a Bokoblin.

Nintendo seriously dropped the ball on that. They made 8 trillion Animal Crossing amiibos and a billion anime game amiibos, all sitting on shelves forever, but you can't find any version of Link, any BotW, or, of all things, Mario World characters.

How do you not anticipate that Waluigi, Mario, Link, Zelda, etc. are going to be big sellers?

In closing, give me loving BotW Zelda and Windwaker Link and squishy Metroid.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is still dated for "2017"
Traditional Kirby game for Switch "2018"
Yoshi game (supposedly like LBP?) for Switch "2018"
Metroid Prime 4 announcement "In Development" (nothing shown other than logo)
MarioxRabbids Kingdom Battle August 29th
Super Mario Odyssey October 27th
e: Game Freak announced that there was a "core RPG" Pokemon title in development for Switch also. No date or any other information about it.

I think that was everything which was in the 25 minute Spotlight. I may be forgetting something though. Everything had gameplay footage except Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Switch. It was literally just a 30 second reveal of the logo.

In the Treehouse they also announced a 2.5D remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus, titled Metroid: Samus Returns. There will be a new Samus amiibo released, along with a :3: squishy :3: Metroid amiibo. Also a special edition of the game with a soundtrack collection.

I saw a bunch of BotW amiibo right after launch - Zelda, both Links, even Guardians - to the point where I thought "Oh, they've finally hit the sweet spot for supply/demand." Now they're nowhere to be seen.

So I just preordered $60 worth of plastic toys from Best Buy :negative:

(As for Mario characters, they were overabundant on shelves, until they got marked down to clearance prices.)

That sucks I popped in to a random Walmart on a whim like a month ago and they had all the BotW amiibo except the Guardian.

Now I have Archer Link and Bokoblin.

The bokoblin is so hideous it's cute, like Gremlins.
