Topic: Switchmas Eve Rumors and Speculations Thread

[Evan_B]

Honestly, I'd rather see a continuation of XCX's story with a "remastered version" including several new chapters that extend the ambiguous plotholes. I thought Takahashi stated he wanted to make his next game different from a story and visual standpoint? I think both the original Xenoblade and its sequel have vastly different "moods" so I trust that the result will be something fabulous.

I understand your reasoning in regards to the unification of the platforms, but Project X Zone and XCX are games of completely different scope and likely resource management. Expecting two rather grand RPGs from Monolith in close succession is a risky proposition, as they are great engine builders, whose tech has been utilized by Nintendo in many games. They'll need to help out with creating some of the groundwork for Nintendo's efforts on NX before they can consider tackling even one of those games.

That's true, especially if NX is as powerful as rumoured. Both the Nintendo support studio and the main Monolith Soft studio have had urgent hirings since October 2015.

Hot off of google translate this would suggest whatever they're doing next is an RPG with a city, which shouldn't come as too big of a surprise really.

I know this won't happen but it would be really cool to have a spiritual successor to the Dawn of Discovery Wii game.

[Stratos]

That was a fun game. I'd be down for more strategy games like that.

From Emily:

Here is what multiple sources close to Nintendo are telling me about 10k's hardware rumors: The gimmick is made up. GPU is wrong. Power level is wrong." "The specs on NX are good, but a lot of the information being shared in this thread is incorrect.

I was told that NX has good specs, but the info in this thread on the GPU and power level is just not correct. Sorry to burst everyone's hype.

At some point, we had to get back to the ground. It was fun, though.

[Soren]

I'm braced enough to know that half of what was being said on that thread was bunk anyway. This is purely for entertainment purposes at this point.

[supermario2k]

So realistically we should just be expecting Wii U 2.0 but not calling it Wii U. Oh god what if they call it Wii NeXt. I will boycott the thing it if has Wii in the name at all I don't care if it's PS5 level specs and has every damn game I want.

Could you do us a favor and start your Nintendo boycott like, now, and forswear any media or forums that have anything to do with Nintendo products?

[Khushrenada]

I think I know what I want Nintendo's next console to be called!

[Evan_B]

The Nintendo "A Formal Apology to Ian Sane"?

That's a little harsh, why so hostile?

[King of Twitch]

Because you're playing games for the wrong reasons.

[supermario2k]

it was a JOKE!

I was making fun of the people who wouldn't buy Wii u because of the name. Lighten up.

[pokepal148]

I don't think you understand what the name has to do with people not buying it.

[Ian Sane]

The Nintendo "A Formal Apology to Ian Sane"?

They can make it sound cooler:
Nintendo Reconciliation
Nintendo Reparation
Nintendo Penance



All I ask is that they don't use Wii again or use some made up word that has us all going "Huh?  The Nintendo what now?"  And don't use "New" in the title.  Just pick a word that sounds like it has something to do with providing an entertaining experience or playing videogames or just sounds cool and could not be confused with something else.  I think it is hard to think of a good name but it's pretty easy to not use a terrible one.

[Khushrenada]

But I think Wii 3 has a nice ring to it.

[nickmitch]

I hear you. I would be baffled if they chose to use the words "New" or "Wii" in the title, myself. I understand they need to remove themselves from that branding.

Thanks for being a good sport.

This fall, get ready as Nintendo and Third Parties join together to create some smokin' hot make-up sex all over this current console generation. Making up is so hot to do. The Nintendo Reconciliation. Coming for a conjugal visit to a basement nearest you.

Wii're Sorry

Ha ha ha! That gets an up vote from me. Nicely done.

Just to take and ruin that joke a bit, Nintendo can later release an upgrade like PS4K and call it Wii're Even Sorrier.

[Spak-Spang]

Wii Wiilly sorry 4 U.

Shortened WiWiiS4U.
