Would You Watch A Zelda Movie By Laika Studios? (Different Animation Style, I Know, But Still)
In light of the recent talks about OOT's redesign to look like puppets, I wonder how the Zelda artstyle would translate to stop-motion animation?

Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave has the most diverse cast of characters across all Nintendo titles?
Playing through the game right now. I love seeing so many different characters of different races and color. Can’t think of any other Nintendo game with such amazing set of diverse characters!

I never thought I’d buy a Nintendo console
After more than 30 years of gaming on PlayStation and Xbox, I’m finally getting a Switch 2 to go alongside my PS5 Pro and it’s all because of the recent announcement that they’re remaking Ocarina of Time.
I genuinely haven’t been this excited for a game in a very long time. Not even GTA 6 has me this hyped. There’s just something about this game that brings back that feeling of what gaming used to be for me.
I’m really looking forward to experiencing Nintendo’s world for the first time and becoming part of the community. It feels like I’m about to discover a whole new side of gaming, and honestly, I can’t wait.

I’m at a point with Nintendo where I truly believe that every franchise will come back in some form at some point
They have been getting more and more ballsy over the past 5-ish years and almost every single franchise has an entry on one of the switch systems
Series that currently have new entries on one of the two systems:
Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Mario Kart, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Famicom Detective Club, Mario Golf, Kirby, Yoshi, Mario Tennis, Picross, Pokémon, Pokémon Snap, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, Luigi’s Mansion, Pikmin, Mario & Luigi, WarioWare, Mario Strikers, Clubhouse Games, Brain Age, Big Brain Academy, Pokémon Trozei, Pokemon Stadium (Champions is in the same category as that game and its successors), Princess Peach, Rhythm Heaven, Wii Sports, Wii Fit (Ringfit is absolutely a Wii Fit game), Endless Ocean, Mario & Sonic, Bayonetta, Tomodachi Life, Xenoblade, NES Remix, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, BoxBoy, Detective Pikachu, 1-2 Switch, Arms, Nintendo Labo
Games that currently have a rerelease on one of the systems:
Wars, Mario RPG, Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, StarFox, Another Code, Miitopia
Games that have no representation on either system:
Game & Watch\*, R.O.B., Punch-Out!!\*, Clu Clu Land\*, Excite\*, Balloon Fight\*, Wrecking Crew\*, Kid Icarus\*, Dr. Mario\*, Play Action Football, StarTropics\*, EarthBound\*, F-Zero\*\*, Pilotwings\*, Waverace\*, WarioLand\*, Panel de Pon\*, 1080°\*, Custom Robo\*, Sin & Punishment\*, Doshin the Giant, KuruKuruKururin\*, Golden Sun\*, Legendary Starfy\*, Donkey Konga, Jam with the Band, Polarium, bit.Generations, Mario Baseball, Chibi-Robo\*, Nintendogs, Elite Beat Agents, Tingle, Pokémon Ranger, Wii Play, Wii Music, Personal Trainer, Style Savvy, Art Style, Flipnote, Fossil Fighters, Wii Chess, Pokémon Rumble, Art Academy, Wii Party, Fluidity, AR Games, Steeldiver, Pushmo, Dillon, Mii Plaza
\* Rerelease on NSO
\*\* F-Zero 99 is in a weird spot as is Zero Racers
Now do I literally believe ALL of these series will return? No, but I do feel confident that by 2036 aside from the ones that are very exclusive to one console (ie AR games or Mii Plaza) most of them will be represented on a switch system in some way shape or form

I remember that Golden Sun was a hit back then. Why didn't Nintendo continue this series and threw them under the bus with Golden Sun DS Dark Dawn?
Title said it all, Golden Sun and especially the character Isaac was really popular among nintendo fans, some even wanted him for smash bros.
I still wonder why Nintendo didn't grab this IP because it has so much potential. Even after 20 years i still can remember that it was an awesome game.

Why don’t they remake Earthbound / Mother
I feel like it’s gained some popularity as of recently with all these smash players, Nintendo has been pumping out remakes as well so I don’t see how one more could hurt especially if it’s EARTHBOUND…
Not sure if it would do great though, I’m just curious as to what you guys think. I personally think it could be an amazing Switch 2 exclusive.

On This Day On This Day in Nintendo History: Art Style: INTERSECT
On this day (October 2) in Nintendo history...
- Art Style: INTERSECT (known as Art Style: DIGIDRIVE in North America) was released in 2009 for DSiWare in Europe. In this action/puzzle game, developed by Q-Games, your concentration and reflexes are challenged. Direct differently coloured cars through a crossroad so that only cars of the same colour occupy a road. This will generate fuel, which is ignited to propel the precious Core away from the approaching Spike. Earn high scores to win medals and even unlock new visual themes and music tracks. Play in Button Mode, using the Control Pad to direct cars.

What if Nintendo made a Donkey Kong 64 Remake for the 3DS back in 2012?
I know everyone feels like ”Nintendo needs to keep remaking more N64 games for the Switch 2” after Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64 got remade Twice, but Nintendo tried doing that in the 3DS‘s First Year and just kinda stopped aside from Majora 3D.
I remember thinking we were going to get Donkey Kong 64 3D back in 2012. Maybe Grezzo could have done it or another developer like them. It could‘ve easily removed all the “Rare” elements, like their Logo or original staff credits, Also get rid of the Jetpac game or Rare Coin. But all the character voices and Music could have stayed.
It also could have had some new elements, like 3DS updated graphics, a map for each World on the bottom screen, maybe add an extra World, and add Dixie Kong as a playable character and have her get Pink Bananas and Coins. Imagine how great it could have all been. But Nintendo just wasn’t interested in green lighting that. So I don’t think they will go all “N64 Trigger Happy” in this Switch 2 era.

What does everyone think of a bunch of n64 remakes
I know Nintendo has done a lot of n64 remakes but this is my hope. I hope they do mario 64 to complete this and these games are all remade by outside studios while nintendo works on the next mainline games. oot remake already was an outside studio but personally I feel like a n64 remake would hold us over for almost all titles for a year. It also seems that Nintendo is doing soft reboots on all the titles personally I want to see more wild era link not a reboot for that yet but with ss bros and mario I think a soft reboot is a great way to continue because we all know there's no topping Odessey and ultimate with just

I’ve been looking for a Nintendo 3ds XL for a while now. I know that on eBay there are countless offers, but they are either too expensive or just overall shady and I don’t wanna get ripped off. Any suggestions of where I can get one?
