Come to think of it, a new Nintendogs game released in 2020 at the peak of the pandemic would have been silly popular
True but we had Animal Crossing to fill that niche.
@@aclstudios I know! I think the same exact audience would have eaten Nintendogs too!
I would love to see a comprehensive video that overviews each of Nintendo’s studios and what they primarily make and then the IP’s that aren’t so fortunate
I second the motion.
Nintendo has Nintendo EPD which is an internal division in nintendo itself, which is broken into 11 production groups. Then retro, ndcube, monolith, next level games, NST, NERD, nintendo pictures, ique and 1up studio as studios/companies that develop or help with development. its not hard to look at that, its all available in wikipedia or nintendo wikia.
@@ausgod538idk if the intent was to show that doesn’t need a breakdown vid but 20 different studios falling under different umbrellas and directions very much sold me on the need for a breakdown vid
I'll look into this. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@nintendoforecast yeah, I love all the individual videos, but I feel like you have such a good grasp on the Nintendo studios I would love to see all that information consolidated into one longer video 🤷♂️
I'm truly touched by all the ARMS-love in this comment section ❤
I’d really like to see an analysis on the Odyssey team. To my knowledge, they haven’t released a game since 2017, what are they up to?
Probably the biggest 3D Mario game ever made lol
probably are working on a 3D mario since then
The next Mario Kart will either have a large presence of other Nintendo IP or it's going to have a track editor/uploader. But Battle Mode is going to be 'Battle Royale' mode.
Putting Min Min in Smash shows Nintendo has confidence in Arms as an IP. Not having a follow-up on the next system would be odd.
Ice climbers, kid Icarus, game and watch, and f zero all got characters while the series were completely dead. Smash bros means nothing for a Nintendo series.
@minecrafter3448
Not true.
F-Zero 99 came out not too long ago and is doing well.
They even brought back Endless Ocean.
No franchise is truly dead for Nintendo.
@@minecrafter3448 Ice Climbers and Game & Watch were retro inclusions and was never meant to signal a revival for those titles. Captain Falcon was around since Smash 64, when F-Zero was still getting new games. Sakurai made a Kid Icarus game a few years after putting him in Brawl.
@@vianabdullah2837 I’m talking about palutena and dark pit, I know pit was added before uprising. Also, did you see how f-zero x sold? It flopped hard. GX recovered a bit, but it still wasn’t a big success. Nintendo still tries to bring back the game and watch ip sometimes, I really think they were adding it in as a modern series inclusion. I shouldn’t have mentioned ice climbers, they go right in with rob as retro easter egg inclusions for long time fans.
@@user-be3qc7re9o For a franchise to be revived it first has to be dead. F zero was dead.
Arms 2 would be a dream come true, my beloved underrated switch game
brilliant video on the topic I always love how well-researched and put-together they are but when you compared arms to a tech demo it was as if a dagger had been thrust through my heart
I love Arms. It does model new tech but I don't mean that as a bad thing. So does Mario 64.
Professor E Gadd for next Mario Kart
Arms sequel LEGS
With how good mario kart 8 deluxe sold and how long its been im expecting MK9 to be life changing XD
Nice
Given that Nintendo now definitely recognises MK as its biggest series and, especially if the Switch successor ends up being backwards compatible (meaning people would just be able to stick to MK8DX), I think the long silence from the MK team could indicate a title that's bigger than we've ever had-the SSB Ultimate of the Mario Kart series, so to speak.
I've been speculating that they've been working on remaking every single track of the series in high-poly, and what we got in MKT/BCP is simply a portion of what they had done up until then. Improving the quality of those models mainly through better textures, shaders and lighting (and also simply existing in a game MADE for the models' artstyle, as MK8DX definitely wasn't) would take far less work than remaking the entire models from the ground up once more, and Tour already contained more than HALF the tracks across the series, over 100, which is genuinely impressive-and it even had datamined signs of more tracks existing than what we ended up getting! Mario Kart 8's attempt at realism was cool back in the day, but in the end, I don't think that realism suits the series at all and only made the base game's tracks age far worse far quicker, so I think a more polished cartoony look would both help them save dev resources (letting them make far more courses in a more reasonable amount of dev time) and also return to the series's roots like with SMK and Double Dash!!. Plus, if Mario Kart becomes cartoonier again, F-Zero could coexist with it a lot more easily, with the latter getting the more hyperrealistic graphics instead.
That being said, I do think it would be a good move to also rerelease Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in one way or another, on the current Switch. It got somewhat gutted in the BCP pretty consistently, with none of its tracks making it into the entire first half of the pass, and one of the GCN traffic courses seemingly getting replaced with Moonview Highway, so perhaps that was done intentionally with the idea of "we're giving them the gamecube tracks in due time anyway"? Plus, having its unique two-player modes easily playable anywhere with the joycon feels like a perfect opportunity for this game. I think it would make for a decent 2024 holiday title, or perhaps a few months earlier if they decide to also add online multiplayer to it, to get people to extend their subscriptions especially with nothing major we know of coming out late this year.
mario kart 10
mario 3d world seiwlecbro
are definetely motherfucking launch titles bro
I love your videos and how much insight you provide to us, but as a non-native english speaker, I would like to see mainly the quotes and some info being more displayed on screen instead of just the keywords.
An Arms 2 with a more fully developed single player would be something I'd absolutely pick up for the Switch 2, and 7 years - even with the Booster Pass - feels like enough time to make two games.
A video breaking down what New IP Nintendo have put out in the past... Decade or two, not sure what would be a good time frame for that... Compared to various other publishers would be interesting considering this is something Nintendo often gets criticized for. Especially if you used that data to do a forecast on what we can expect for the Switch 2 in terms of new IP.
Interesting concept - thank you!
What about that Lego Mario Kart?
arms was criminally underated and suffered greatly due to the net code perhaps with Nintendo systems there's hope for a sequel for the switch's successor
I want nintendogs VR on the super switch i cant have a dog right now so thatll be really nicw
All we need is an epic new up before we bid farewell to our beloved Nintendo Switch ❤
Somehow your videos remind me of Machinima, back when it was still a thing
I hope we get Mario Kart Ultimate with all past tracks in the series for the Switch 2!!
wasnt lego mario kart game already confirmed?
No please no
T-That's not a real Mario Kart game
@@sahaprocks7751 just toys?
the fuck
Mario Kart tour is not a real game i dont wanna hear it. Excited for Mario Kart 9 tho.
Willing to bet that if they have a second title in development itll be cross-gen and appeal more to casual audience. We've already gotten Pokemon Legends Z (unless GF are unimaginably stupid) and a new 3D Mario basically confirmed as Switch 2 launch titles, and if they're like previous titles they moreso target the hardcore demographic. I think its likely that Nintendo will focus on casual titles for Switch 1 while keeping the stuff their hardcore audience really wants as Switch 2 exclusive, since one group is much more likely to early adopt than the other.
Game freak loves to put pokemon games on outdated hardware due to the larger install base, they like to ride off the success of others rather than carry console sales themselves when they can. It grows the Pokemon brand more.
3D Mario, while very likely, is not confirmed in the slightest. Pokemon often still releases on old hardware as minecrafter3448 has already pointed out. It's also 2025, not early 2025. Could be anytime in that year
Highly doubt Legends is Switch 2. Gamefreak have always released on new hardware after the old hardware is out.
Mario Kart Ultimate is a given
Ultimate? That’s a terrible name. X and 10 are both good names, although I hope it isn’t the rumored crossroads.
@@minecrafter3448 Mario Kart World?
@@Jdogtoocool eh
Mario Kart: Peaches Pussy (2450) on the Switch 74
With the booster course pass it wouldn't be that interesting of a concept
If Nintendo next console flopped harder than WiiU era what's gonna happen to your channel?
It’s literally impossible for a flop that hard to happen, even just the hype we have now would be enough to outsell the Wii U
You do realize Nintendo has more than enough cash to handle a bad console generation, right?
They did it with the Virtual Boy and Wii U.
@@minecrafter3448 ps5 xbox series newiphone15pro pc handhelds are killing Nintendo
@user-be3qc7re9o reggie said it himself back in 2017 Switch was Nintendo last resort at the console gaming business after the flop of WiiU meaning that they cannot afford another situation. You can google it yourself
@@Rizky-Gumilar that’s real funny, but be serious
