Expecting Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby Return to Dreamland, Octopath 2, Advance Wars, and surprise release date for Silksong. And Ive never played Hollow Knight or really care about it at all but I just have a feeling.

Really? I wouldnt expect the Silksong release date. But I guess a lot of people are My main games I want dates for are Tears of the Kingdom and Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Silksong would be cool, though I only recently played Hollow Knight when I got a PS5 But its been fun So, Ill probably get it

All I care about is fire emblem not being a wifu simulator.

XCX port hype

I wish But that might not come My roommate mentioned how they would basically have to rebuild the whole game And it might not work as well without the Wii U gamepad, tbh

super mario rpg 2

Yet another Pokemon Spinoff, Superman 64 HD, and half a dozen more unnecessary platformers that would've looked cool in 2002.

And no Prime 4

As fun as Engage has been, we do need the DLC for last year's game of the year yes.

My understanding is that the Switch actually isn't powerful enough to port it. X pushed the WiiU to its absolute breaking point, such that without rebuilding it entirely from scratch (to avoid having to run a WiiU emulator on top of what the game requires), the Switch can't handle it. The Gamepad functions would be missed (along with WWHD, that was a game that benefited hugely from having a gamepad map), but it wouldn't be the end of the world to not have them. Still, though, I'm not holding my breath for a port.

I'm mostly just hoping for Xenoblade 3 DLC news, especially anything about the final part. I'm not expecting much, though, since wave 4 isn't scheduled to come out until December and there's still wave 3 to announce. I don't remember when Torna was first announced, but I'm guessing it was closer to its release (possibly around E3, for a holiday release).

I would like Engage to get a NG+, as well And fixing the trials

same on xc3 dlc

it was an absolute goty for me, possibly a goat

I held off on committing to calling it a GOAT right after finishing it because of recency bias, but that was like four months ago and my opinion hasn't dulled at all, even through plenty of discussion with people who want everyone else to hate it. I've been following Harry McEntire's playthrough of it on Twitch, which I pretty much never do for games like this (if I watch any game being streamed, it's something where I can enjoy seeing build variety), and it's just as amazing watching it through again and is actually making me want to do a NG+ run so I can go through it again. Wave 4 will be a day 1 buy if I haven't taken the plunge on the other two batches before then (which I might, because I just want more Xenoblade 3).

Somehow, I dont remember playing a lot of Xenoblade 3 because I had others games that also came out around that time. But it was somehow my most player game last year I think I either didnt play my switch much, or played too many games, which split the time up

It'll be a launch trailer for Tears of the Kingdom and then a bunch of indie weeb stuff. Also the next DLC tracks for Mario Kart.

Zelda more than makes up for it but I'm really not expecting much. I don't really feel like I need to see anything more about it, it's just a matter of waiting until May.

Also, there's little to no chance we'll see anything about Metroid Prime 4 (I'm convinced it's cancelled, it's been like 6 years since we've heard anything) or Pikmin 4. And definitely no chance of them revealing a new big project. I hope I'm wrong but I doubt that I am.

I think Pikmin might actually have a good chance, probably

Source?

Honestly, I hope they show some farming sim games. Seems like a pretty untapped market atm.

I don't remember where I saw the point that there are technical issues preventing a straight emulated port, so that may have been me reading between lines, but some quick digging is bringing up several articles that reference an interview with Takahashi from 2018:

https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/10/18/monolith-soft-says-a-xenoblade-chronicles-x-switch-port-would-be-too-expensive

Basically, a rerelease would involve remaking enough of it that it's prohibitively expensive and kind of a gamble for the series' worst-selling entry. That it's the worst-selling isn't necessarily X's fault so much as it is the WiiU's (in terms of how much of each system's install base owns each game, X is actually the highest in the entire Xeno franchise by a huge margin), but it's still a very different game from the other three and would not be a cheap port. Maybe something has changed since 2018 (like Monolith learning how to milk every drop of performance they could out of the Switch for 3 and being able to apply that to port X more efficiently, or DE showing that there's plenty of potential for a Xenoblade port to outsell the original with a stronger release), but I kind of doubt it.

I do, however, expect an X port on whatever Nintendo's next system is, especially if the post-3 direction for Xenoblade is to pick up where X forgot to end. Presumably, making the game work won't be as difficult with an extra generation of oomph behind it.

It was my most-played game, at 207 hours. My second-most was Xenoblade DE (140), and my third-most was Xenoblade 2 (111, probably including Torna). I had a bit of a theme going last year.

Shitty.

I'm marginally more sympathetic to Nintendo doing that than publishers whose games are riddled with DLC, microtransactions, battle passes, and other predatory monetization that completely dwarfs the revenue from the initial purchase price regardless of what it is, since then at least there's some ability to legitimately claim that their revenue hasn't increased to cover increased production costs. Marginally.

Went directly into a game nice
