It is a bummer that the Mario sports games this gen have been so threadbare with their single player content. It didn't bother me with the new Mario Golf because hey all you need are a bunch of golf courses to have a good time by yourself but it definitely hurts the other games.

All jokes aside, Strikers does suck? I was excited and was going to go get it today :gonk:

That sucks. I guess I’ll just hold out for baseball (which will never come).

They're officially not doing an E3, but I strongly believe that there'll be a direct this week (it's when other companies are showing off stuff), followed by a treehouse or something similar, where they deep dive into some games. Two years ago, I think that was done with Origami King. Last year, they played the then-upcoming Mario Golf.

Skip it. The reason why they did those 1 hour beta tests is because the online play really only works when you have a mass number of people online. When there isn't Battle League is useless and there's barely any single player content. Wish ninte do allowed refunds

Out of the three switch Mario sports games, it makes sense that Golf is probably the best; it's chill and doesn't need anyone else to enjoy it (but is WAY better with friends).

I misread this as Mario Basketball.
But still, it'd be fun if they did it correctly.
But I agree, where is Baseball?

Given that they do a Zelda game every year, I wouldn't be surprised by either ww/tp ports, or Oracle remakes (grezzo's last game was the Awakening remake 3 years ago).

I could see an eShop Kirby game coming out, as an anniversary title and nso fodder.

Probably wishful thinking, but maybe a Metroid prime trailer for 2023 release.

What I'm really looking forward to is a deep dive on bayo3, which is practically guaranteed.

What else could they add to Strikers other than Cups for single player content? Career mode in a Mario sports game sounds weird as hell, it would just be cups but with extra dialogue and junk getting in the way of the actual games.

Actually now I’m imagining a mode where you’re a rookie Wario trying to make it in the big leagues and I’m sold. A super serious sports sim career mode a la FIFA or MLB The Show except you’re Wario eating Garlic and farting in the locker room in between games.

Yes that, tournaments, leagues literally anything else that isn't quick match and the cup modes. Even the Battle League available as a offline mode would be good. I guess the other issue though is the gear you unlock totals about 20 pieces per person and they all put a negative on your character, so you don't ever really progress

JUST PICK ONE. ANY ONE.
I enjoy Strikers quite a lot. Definitely don't get it if you need good single-player. I've already beaten all the cups on both normal and hard, and until the Battle League season starts in 9 days there's nothing else to do except play online. As I said in my earlier posts, though, I'm happy that Next Level Games focused primarily on delivering fun gameplay. The actual soccer part in Strikers is awesome.

You could say the same about Smash Bros, but thankfully they didn't just whack an online mode in and call it a day like most recent Ninty offerings

Mario Tennis had a single player quest thing where you had to gather pieces of a sacred tennis racquet or something. I didn't play it very much but I think it had unique missions, like hitting a bunch of emerging piranha plants etc. I don't think it was very well received.

I think to make a meaningful single player experience in these types of games, it's best to do it as an RPG with stat growth, like the old Camelot games. Then maybe import your character into online games (normalized to some standard so everyone's roughly equivalent).

Agreed. However I think the base gameplay is pretty good, again this is from watching someone else play.

Just beef it. Like the others. They can manage that kind of poo poo.

This feels wrong. Is there really a Zelda released yearly?

I still gotta play it at some point. There's just so many games coming out my backlog keeps getting larger. IIRC, Triangle Strategy is by the same team that did the Bravely games?

All except Bravely Default 2 I think, which was done by a different studio. Though I don't know how much of the actual team is the same between Bravely, Octopath, and TriStrat. Octopath and TriStrat also had other studios co-develop (Artdink for TriStrat). Same producer, though.

2021: Skyward Sword HD
2020: Age of Calamity
2019: Link's Awakening remake
2018: Hyrule Warriors switch version
2017: Breath of the Wild
2016: Twilight Princess HD
2015: Majora's Mask 3D and triforce heroes
2014: original Hyrule Warriors
2013: Wind Waker HD and Link Between Worlds

The last year without a retail Zelda game was 2012. But granted, that's only if you count the various hyrule warrior games and other spinoffs - if you don't, that's fair. But this pace of releases is why I assumed that WW/TP ports were impossible this year until BOTW2 was delayed, and now I think they're a lot more likely as a filler release.
