Finally getting back to work on Half Life 3

Switch 2 on the horizon, eh?

So...Smash Bros. Ultimate + to come out holiday 2026 or spring 2027?

Literally just fix the online experience and that game will live on forever.

Well Nintendo is playtesting a Minecraft-style MMO so hopefully they've put resources towards better online play.

Considering their recent lawsuit, them ripping off Minecraft is hilarious

Lol that's a good one

that game will live on forever

And Melee fans will still refuse to play it for whatever reason

"Bro I can't wavedash in Ultimate."

You really don't see the competitive differences between the two? Lol

Not every game has to be an e-sport my friend, some games can be fun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well the people playing melee today aren't doing it for the 4 player all items on free for all mode. Most people who play fighting games enjoy the competitive aspect, in which the two are pretty different.

I always knew Sakurai worked hard to deliver high quality games, but after watching this video, it's insane.

Creating a whole YouTube channel with 260 videos just because he had a few free months. Doing the majority (pre editing) in just a few months, scripting and recording nearly ever video in advance.

Absolutely wild.

I don't think there was any tease. He is a game director, he is not retired, of course he is working on a new game.

As he has mentioned, once a game is ending, director is already working on pre-production of next game.

“I received a request to write a game proposal, which I finished at lightning speed,” he said.

Free slate auteur game from Sakurai? Shadow development and surprise release?

Kirby air ride 2, now with 49 player city trial

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You joke but I would kill for a new Kirby Air Ride game.

You wouldn't believe my disappointment when they had a Nintendo Direct years ago and threw a "one more thing" at the end which opened with Kirby Air Ride music and Kirby riding in on the warp star, only for it to be a Smash Bros character reveal. The video they put on YouTube after the fact opened with the Smash logo, but it didn't during the Nintendo Direct.

I would also love a Kirby air ride game... But seeing how they did multiplayer-focused gamrs like Mario tennis and golf, I don't want today's Nintendo to make it, if that makes sense.

He will be missed. Everyone of his games were the most fun out of anything on Nintendo systems. He deserves a good retirement
