Started reading further for more leaks, this year is Nintendo relying heavily on remakes and 3rd parties to ease development. Star Fox is just the first, Ocarina of Time and Super Metroid are also supposed to be coming - with Super Metroid having a pixel art style I guess. This leaves Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave as potentially the last original titles this year based on the validity of Switch Sports 2. Duskborn may be this year, but the lack of info is concerning as to whether it will make it.

well with this direct, you've been half right. so far.
 
NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN! Releases "2026" with no gameplay footage and not even a proper "cinematic trailer" really doesn't give confidence in the state of the project. Furthermore, they already screwed up the art style of OoT on the 3DS, so this game is guaranteed to look bad. Also, Link's hands are noticeably low-poly. I don't play modern games, is that normal?

It's looking like no mainline Mario for the first TWO YEARS of the Switch 2, you'd think they'd at least throw a few bones for games long in the future so people can panic buy the console before the price increase.

From Nintendo's perspective, they already have heavy-hitting Mario and Zelda games exclusive to the Switch 2: the Switch 2 editions of BotW and it's remake, the Switch 2 edition of Mario Wonder, and Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2. This is a very "modern games industry" way of looking at things, Sony views Demon's Souls as the killer app of PS5 Pro, so it's not likely to change unless the whole industry goes through serious hardship.

I need clarification...so some games are not physical even though they come in physical boxes correct? This is where the key cards come into play?

Some are physical, some are key cards.

The key cards are basically just a code on a chip that unlocks a digital version of the game. Many publishers opt to use them because they are cheaper.

Something like Mario Kart World, for example, actually comes on the card when you buy it. While there are updates, the whole game is on the little card and it's playable out of the box without connecting to the Internet.

Well, they've killed the genre simply by making Super Mario Maker, re-rereleasing it, making a sequel for the Switch, making Wonder as braindead as they possibly can, and adding DLC as an Switch 2 cartridge. And this is ignore the digital exclusives.

And the turnaround for an 2D play former theoretically shouldn't be that long unless you're doing something epic. But this ie fucking Nintendo we're talking about, someone is probably shitting the bed as we speak

DK Bananza, MK World and Pokopia were pretty decent for the first year, but it seems the second half of 2026 is a bit uneven right now. Star Fox looks cool, but a new game would've been more exciting. I've no interest in Fire Emblem at all. Splatoon Raiders seems strangely undercooked just going by what little they've shown off in the trailers. The Ocarina of Time remake didn't show off  any gameplay!

i dunno. I'm hardly a doomer, but it's a bit of a mixed bag unless you're also dipping into the indie scene to compliment Nintendo's lineup.
 
The Direct rumor was that Nintendo are sandbagging 2026, and that wasn't wrong. No gameplay on OoT remake is by itself suspicious since it's the middle of 2026.
 
Japan might be the single most cucked and ZOGed nation in existence. At least when we make soy consoomer nostalgia slop, we make it for ourselves. When they do it, they're making it for a nation that nuked them twice. They know that they're completely dependent upon the dying American empire and that shakes them to their very core. They're terrified of what the Jews are doing to America because they know it's going to hurt them even more, so they're desperate to escape back to an age in which they could export any old garbage to America and we'd gobble it up. The soul of Japan is irreparably raped by the Zionist occupation of America.

I posted this in the Zelda thread but I'll repeat it here. They're using BOTW's font and shield design for the "Ocarina of Time" logo. Should speak volumes to the attentive gamer. This is likely an outsourced demake done in the style of BOTW, hence no gameplay, because people would see they are BOTW'ing yet another game ala Metroid Prime 4.

Nintendo thinks they’re living in 1993.
Having third parties was only half the battle; the other half is making them preferable over the competitor’s platforms.

You’re not offering a cutting edge console anymore.
Your offerings look a generation behind despite being technically a generation ahead.
Beyond the novelty of “oh wow they could pull that off on a switch?” there’s nothing to these ports. No bonus content, no exclusive content, nothing.

Maybe if these were all $39.99 at launch and went down to $19.99 after a year or so I’d be compelled to impulse buy based on the previously mentioned novelty factor, but no one is playing the Switch versions as their only versions. They’re a double dip that people already own on PC/PS.

You are not the Super Nintendo and your competitor isn’t the Sega Genesis & the Turbografix 16.
You’re not even the Game Boy either. Game Boys were cheap and accessible.
You’re Super Nintendo pricing with Game Boy gameplay and fidelity. If it wasn’t for that mustachioed man and the yellow rat you’d have gone bankrupt long ago or gone the way of Sega.

Edit: I was gonna use the N64 instead of the SNES because of all the N64 remakes they’re releasing, but the N64 had shit 3rd party support and was no competition to the PSX which was raw dogging them hard culturally and financially.

Honestly, there'd be no difference in output between right now and a world where Microsoft managed to buy Nintendo back in the day. They make the same three shitty games again and again.
 
A whole lot of doomposting going on regarding Nintendo recently.

Not to say that skepticism isn’t unfounded mind you, as I’m not sure how long they can coast by on third-party ports.

In terms of the games they themselves announced, I’ll have to see more information regarding things like the OOT remake. Other than that, I am honestly looking forward to a few games like the new Fire Emblem and Xenoblade.
