I basically use it as a second PS4 I've played so few PS5 games. It's also a joke you still can't use PS4 controllers on a PS5 game, would be the easiest patch ever, PS5 cont has no actual gameplay features, but instead I'm forced to get two PS5 controllers to play Tekken 8 locally. Even the Series X still supports Xbox One controllers.
I mean they maintained relatively heavy support for 3DS leading up to and even after the launch of Switch. It was a similar situation with GBA, and it's because they weren't sure DS and Switch would be successful. I think they'd be wise to do that again, especially if they're gonna have a more invasive gimmick (Wii/Wii U) as opposed to passive ones (DS/3DS/Switch).
Mario should be there day 1 or they're fucking up. It's time for a 2D Zelda too. As for a new IP, I hope it's something more significant than Arms and Wii Sports, more like Pikmin, something that feels like a true new pillar franchise. I know Wii Sports is popular and kinda continuing, but it doesn't come to mind when thinking of Nintendo franchises like Star Fox, Mario, Zelda, etc.
I have a soft spot for ARMS. It isn’t great, but it definitely feels like it could be if fleshed out more with a sequel. The main issue with that IP is that I am pretty sure the Mario Kart team made it as 8 Deluxe gave them a break from Kart hell. Would love for it to return and see what they can do with it. It was successful, so why not at least try to give it some legs. They just need to pick a lane of either hardcore fighter or party fighter and stick to it. ARMS was way too wishy-washy in that regard.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart 7 and Melee were all year one of their respective systems. Melee and 8 Deluxe being fairly close to launch.
Most likely 3D Mario will be launch along with some new IP that will probably be the next Wii Sports, party game thing. Throughout the year I would expect we get Splatoon 4 in summer as, once again, it is a game that thrives when online is heavy. We will likely get Kirby and Fire Emblem as they have quick 2-3 year turn arounds and make for great filler. End of year will be Pokémon and Metroid, leaving Nintendo with at least 4-5 heavy hitters. I also expect another title from a niche IP, probably WarioWare, to appear.
I have nothing against it, but I think it's too weird and the art style really isn't very appealing imo.
I have no idea how I forgot Melee, my first NGC game. I stand corrected, but MK8D doesn't really count imo.
That'd be solid enough I guess but that's a long damn time for another Zelda, isn't it? I know BotW was last year but it's been like a decade since the last original 2D Zelda and half a decade since the LA remake.
I get you. I'm more excited about games in the abstract than about actually playing them anymore, but sometimes there's a special game I'll tear through. It helps if they're short, I find.
And it's still huge.
There is Rise of Ronin, a game developed by Team Ninja and currently a PS5 exclusive (for now) which will come out on the same day as Dragon's Dogma 2 (March 22).
you mean like they did with IV on pc and V on ps3...?
i finished 5 on ps3 and didnt find anything bad?
I can't wait for the PC version to be 300gb, demand an SSD, unavailable on Steam for the first year, and incompatible with Steam Deck when it finally does release.
That first year was stupidly good. 2023 was no slouch either.
Tears of the Kingdom was kinda bad
If you take away the subjective opinion, and yes I do agree with you there, sales of these three are still outstanding
