But surely there'll be something. Like a one more thing?

 

The logo for a new F Zero game? A glimpse of Metroid? Superman 64 coming to Nintendo Online?

 

Or Mario will ride a jet ski so we know a new Wave Race is coming?

 

They already said no game news.

 

So nope.

I don’t think Nintendo even make games anymore at this point. Those first two years of the Switch seems a long time ago now. 

I mean, there have been loads of games, with quite a few more to come that we know about.

They’ve been half arsing it for years now. A drip feed of B titles and WiiU rereleases with the constant distant prospect of a new BOTW. Shame as for it’s first two years they were on top form.

One of those isn’t even Nintendo developed and the other two of those are definitely B titles. 

Splitting hairs, and none of them are B titles. They might not interest you personally but that’s Nintendo for you.

People are always weird about Nintendo, like expecting new mainline Mario or Zelda games every year yet ignoring the fact that what makes them so special is that they take their time with them to make them what they are. 
 

Don’t get me wrong I find them really frustrating when they release something like Mario Strikers which plays beautifully but is so barebones it’s taking the piss, but then they put out XC3 in the same time frame, a game which is so fully featured, and Splatoon 3, and it’s just utterly confusing. 
 

But yeah saying there’s been nothing since 2017 is bonkers, more so if you’re criticising them for Wii U ports considering a fair few came out that year compared to none this year.

Nintendo are just a frustrating organisation.

 

Wildly innovative and creative but also frustratingly conservative and repetitive.

 

Some series churn out updated versions every few years with little innovation.

Some series require an almost complete reinvention from one entry to the next.

Some series get new releases with no new concept when DLC/patches could have been more appropriate.

Some series get DLC to add new content but never a new release to offer new concepts.

 

The result is that they're both easy to love and hate. And often as an individual you can think both about them.

 

I love that they're their own thing. I love that they make some of the most amazing and polished games. I love that their games don't bow to grey/brown aesthetic and that everything must be a "mature" and violent experience (but actually just a pre-pubescent teen boy fantasy).

 

But at the same time, I'm sad that there's been only 2.5 new 3D Mario games in a decade (and 7.5 in 24 years). The half is for Bowser's Fury: an incredible thing imo but smaller than what they've made in this space before. And two of these are 3D Land/World which some people don't really consider part of the same lineage. Whilst I appreciate their dedication to quality and innovation w.r.t. to mainline Mario games, I'd take just a little bit more of it. I wouldn't mind smaller experiences. Take that Odessey engine and let a few creators run a bit wild. A remix of sorts.

Splatoon 3 definitely isn’t my GotY, nor the best competitive game I’ve played since glory days WoW.

 

It’s also sold fuckall. So hopefully they won’t be supporting it for much longer.

In terms of Mario games they’d have to be crazy not to follow up this movie with a new one. That’d make for a pretty profitable one-two punch, you’d imagine?

 

All these marketing screens for the movie are making me ready for one, anyway. If it wasn’t for the word ‘MOVIE’ you’d fully expect these to be marketing for a new game.

Both XB3 and Kirby aren’t Nintendo developed, right?

Monolith Soft and HAL Laboratory respectively. Nintendo bought Monolith in 2007 and HAL haven’t released a game for anything other than Nintendo systems since the 80’s. It’s as close a partnership as you can get.

Really? Fuck all?

 

You're broken more like. Driven home by the hope they stop supporting something. What an odd and sad take.

 

As of 30th September (21 days after release) it had sold 7.9 million copies. 13th on the system overall.

 

For comparison:

  • It's the highest selling game in Japan this year
  • Splatoon 2 has, in five years, sold a total of 13.3 million. 7.9 million copies in 21 days seems like a pretty good start to me.
  • Only 3 other Switch games not attached to Mario or Pokémon have sold more copies (Animal Crossing 40.1 million, Ring Fit 14.8 million, and Splatoon 2 13.3 million)

It's a success. Especially when you could argue it's cannot have been that expensive to develop considering some of its similarities to the second game
