Why was I dreaming about Mike Vick showing up at the Nintendo spotlight though???
The "goal posts moved" because the discussion went from talking about the Pikmin team to how other teams could work on other games.
Relax.

I'll take the Platinum collection with Bayo 1, Bayo 2, and W101 then. All 3 of those games at a nearly locked 60fps needs to happen.
Now we're talking.Please give us Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 3
Have you tried Disgaea yet? That's a game that's been giving me strong FFTA vibes since I started playing, though I will admit a new FFTA would be more than welcome.
Pikmin soon to become dead franchise confirmed.
Except no stylus.
That's the real question. I guess Madden is getting announced as a Switch exclusive

I think I've successfully lowered my hype to "If they show anything new that I'm interested in I'll be excited" levels. I really want Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade so at least that's covered.

This.
Damn it, I forgot about these guys lol. Didn't they get bargain-binned like everywhere? I wonder if Nintendo wants go down that road again.
You forgot one other crucial thing. Kirby has historically sold wel compared to budget. Fire Emblem was well on the way to gettig shelved until Awakening showed it had sales potential with an updated formula.
So you have to have this combination of things, a developer/producer who has an idea/vision for the ip and sales. If Prime 3 or Other M had lit up the charts then there would be more projects.
Lastly, look at all of the other games that have been made in the vein of both Metroid and F-zero. Nintendo can easily look at this and determine a couple things. First they don't need to mine those markets since there is a lot of people serving them. Second, what could they even bring outside of the ip that so different that it'd generate enough business to be worth the investment. Lastly, how do those two things marry up to what else could've be done with that money.
This is why Nintendo doesn't always make games in "bankable" ips. Those Ips aren't always as bankable as we believe and Nintendo doesn't always feel like there is enough they can do to differentiate themselves from now crowded markets to make it a profitable venture. This is also why we're getting games like Arms and we got Splatoon. New areas to work, growth potential, a way to provide news terms to what people thought were set in stone genres etc. Those types of projects provide the most opportunity for growth.
So for older ips they really gotta have legs. We all have to admit that sadly Metroid doesn't have that kind of appeal atm.
Not the latest one, but yea they're good but I prefer FFTA

I am relaxed. Do you have any thoughts on the rest of my post or do you agree with me?

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I want Kirby's Dream Course 2.
You could get away with your finger with a game like this. You're drawing one line at a time to begin with, and it's not exactly asking you to be Rembrandt.
I mean, it's hard to say whether or not you're right. I have a hard time believing they have zero ideas for those franchises when all people really want is a return to form. I know Miyamoto said at some point he'd bring F-Zero back when he had a way of reinventing it, but why? It's not like they reinvented Pikmin with Pikmin 3, or Mario Kart with the anti-grav stuff, it barely changes the gameplay at all.
I suppose I agree that you're post is definitely plausible, the thought of it being true is just irksome, that's all. It's like Nintendo is both very protective of their franchises, but also won't take risks on them at the same time.

Speaking of Kirby, we haven't seen the 3DS game that will be released at the end of the year,
How many minutes it'll take from the 30?

I sort of see what that guy is saying about doubled up games, SM3DL/SM3DW, porting Yoshi, DKCR 3D coming out around the time of TF. But those 3ds ones are so similar to the Wii U games. This pikmin platformer being so different than how pikmin mainline plays puts it in a completely different box I think.

0 minute since it is a 3DS game and the presentation is only about switch games ;-)

Please give us Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 3
Devil Survivor 3 as well please.
It'd probably make the game feel a lot more tactile, though. I wonder if Nintendo will ever bring DS virtual console to Switch, by virtue of how DS games and touch interaction in DS games, were made for tapping and long drags of the stylus, not the sort of casual swiping the iPhone ushered in with its scrolling physics combined with adoption of capacitive tech
I have no problem with a new Pikmin per se, but I think it falls into the category of Nintendo games that are very cartoony, colorful, family friendly, minimal narrative, etc., which are dominating the first party Switch lineup right now. Nothing wrong with that style of game, but I think we need some more variety right now. A revival of stuff like Metroid, F-Zero, Eternal Darkness, etc., or new IPs in that vein would be good for the system.

Come on Tropical Freeze Deluxe!
Surely that's not too much to ask for!

Only in the aesthetic department. YWW is very much a direct sequel to the YI games, whereas KEY is the typical experimental Kirby game that kinda plays like one, but diverges rather sharply.

Couldn't a new F-Zero be built upon Mario Kart 8's engine? They already have a perfectly good Mute City and Big Blue track to start with and the assets from those could be used to create other tracks.
It just seems like SOMETHING could be done.

As someone who loves fft and ffta and spent hours trying disgaea 5? Not at all.
I guess that rules out a new Metroid since we got Prime 3 just under 10 years ago!

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
*vomits*
I dunno, despite their differences (and there are plenty), Disgaea 5 made me think of FFTA more than any other franchise in the genre. Sending squads to do quests for you? Check. A robust infinite mission system? Check. A ton of items to collect? Check. A super flexible class system? Check. Maps with elevation? Check. Over the top, awesome spell animations? Check.
Sure, it lacks the classic fantasy charm and the robust story the FFTA game had (and replaces it with a shitton of stuff), but personally I was really reminded of it while playing.
It has a very similar art style but the gameplay is pure Yoshi's Island, for the most part.
Epic Yarn has a very slow paced and relaxing gameplay type. It's so nice.
Amazing Mirror, The closest Kirby's ever gotten to a bad game. It's not a good game mind you, but its also not full on bad.

Wait is there a rumor of a Kirby game on Switch?

I'm in on this too.
I agree. I HATE THIS GAME. But they could do something good with the formula, I think.
The true Metroid 5.......
Thing is they said the game would be an action game focused on multiplayer. I don't see a traditional RPG being that.
Edit:
No. There is a 3DS "action multiplayer" Kirby title coming this holiday season.
