Leakers are suggesting that in February Nintendo will hold a Direct focused on Nintendo Switch 1 upcoming titles. The leakers are saying that there will be one final major first party title reveal that is not a remake/remaster for the system.

Under the assumption that Metroid Prime 4 remains a Switch bound title, that would mean 2025's swansong year will rely on that title and this unannounced game which has already revived the earlier speculation about Star Fox returning.

So...Switch port of Star Fox Zero it is!

I’d be happy with that as I found it unplayable on the wiiu

Same. I got about halfway through it before giving up.

A quick port with suitable up-rez, those ghastly motion controls removed and minimal dev costs would be absolutely easy low-hanging fruit for Nintendo in the dying days of the original Switch.

It will be an horizontal scrolling shump developed by ex-Cave and ex-Treasure staff, and called Star Fox VI. Four selectable Arwings belonging to the original Star Fox team, Krystal goes down the drain, with Wolf O'Donnel as a secret character once you complete the game on normal.

Don't threaten me with a good time!

I got an email from Nintendo inviting me to the Switch 2 Experience. Ooh and, indeed, wooh!

[wakka]

Aww, I got the opposite! That's good luck though, well done!

[egparadigm]

Ah, shucks, sorry you missed out!

[wargame]

Got a email to for my day, very excited now.

Sony: "PS2 has now sold 345 trillion units!"

By the time NS2 launches Nintendo should roughly be at the point of just needing another 7m units sold to take the crown

[wakka]

Yeah I reckon it's assured they'll manage it, personally.
