    • @squiddler7731
      @squiddler7731 7 місяців тому +32

      I disagree, but maybe that's just me. I feel like switching between kid and squid is as core to splatoon's identity as jumping is to mario (since the entire point of the inkling form is that you need it to paint more ground in order to swim through, and your weapon is how you interact with the world). The interplay between swimming, shooting to paint more ground and then swimming through what you covered is what makes splatoon's movement so fun and interesting in the first place, so while they _could_ make a game around not having that, it'd be a really weird choice for the series's first spin-off.
      I do like the idea of us getting splatoon spin-offs though. Even if I think a traditional platformer-type singleplayer one is somewhat unlikely (we've gotten 4 of those now, going on potentially 5 with Side Order already on it's way).

    Just wanted to say that an "ancient" version of the Unova region set after Legends Arceus would be New York City during or shortly after the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge (or, perhaps more accurately, the Skyarrow Bridge, its Pokémon world equivalent).
    The approximate time frame of Legends: Arceus is a lot more recent than people would expect, due to how isolationist Japan was prior to the mid-19th Century and how rapidly they modernized in the mid-20th.

    • @matthewmuir8884
      @matthewmuir8884 6 місяців тому +21

      Adding to that, the time-frame of Legends: Arceus bears great resemblance to the colonization of Hokkaido around the dawn of the 20th Century. The Sinnoh region is based on Hokkaido, so it makes a lot of sense.
      Incidentally, the anime _Golden Kamuy_ takes place in Hokkaido at that time period.

      Of course, it was a "frontier region" in the same way that the American West was a "frontier region"; there already were people there. And that's true for Legends: Arceus as well: the Diamond and Pearl clans in the game are loosely based on the Ainu: the indigenous population of Hokkaido.

Only 2 pairs of remakes have been released on odd numbered generations, the first remakes and the pokemon go tie in, all the others have release every second generation. FrLg were also the only remakes ever to be the last game on a console, and let's go is the only "remake" to be the first game on a new console so bw remakes now of all times would break every trend they've had so it feels unlikely to me.

      @@ColgateMannNext year? I said this year. Did you forget we are in 2024 now? (Though personally it's 2048 for me cause I fucking say so lol) And yes I can say it concretely. Game Freak has a pattern, one year is spin off, next is remake, and the next is new gen, then repeat. As a person with the INTP personality which is logician, meaning I operate off logic unlike 97% of humanity, and as one who's hyper aware, and has a 141 IQ which is low end genius, I tend to see all the little things the masses don't. I have a bit of a sense for forseeing some things. Some may call it lucky, but there is no such thing as luck. Pokemon Day and it's Direct is next month, I invite you to return to this chat after that Pokemon Presents and you may say "You got lucky...." lol While 2025 would be the 15 year mark since Black/Whites release, they COULD do B/W remakes in 2025, but that would mean this years game would have to be a spin off such as a new mystery dungeon or something. Not impossible, but unlikely. Gen 1-4 has been remade. Gen 5 is next and will probably be the last remake, as it's the last DS Pokemon generation, the last 2D sprite Pokemon game.

    I'd say it's unlikely that the system will cap at 1080p when the point of the scaling tech is to push the image to higher resolutions on lower-powered hardware, but then again I've seen Nintendo do weirder things to fit their own internal logic.

    • @ItApproaches
      @ItApproaches 7 місяців тому +4

      If the system is similar to the Switch with a dock, how can it upscale the image on your TV? It could work for handheld mode, but not on your TV. Nintendo is the type to try to lock things in and leave them there. I personally see no reason to ever go past 1080p 60fps. Humans are never satisfied, always gotta go better, what was once OMG AMAZING will always fade and your ego will turn to hate it and want more, like a drug, the effects start off strong, then fade and you need a higher hit to get the same feeling. This is an addict at that point.

    • @SetsuneW
      @SetsuneW 7 місяців тому +6

      @@ItApproaches I'm not sure I follow your point. Look up how Nvidia DLSS and other image reconstruction methods work. They take a smaller rendered image and use complex algorithms to construct a higher resolution image without as much of a hardware hit as rendering the target resolution directly. Nintendo's already used a software version of this idea with Nintendo Switch Sports, and the repeated word is Switch 2 will have hardware components dedicated to this functionality. So the Switch 2 makes a 720p or 1080p image (or lower), and then uses this hardware function to optionally output a 1440p or 4K image that looks like it was made at that resolution, or a close approximation.

    That concept for Super Mario Future is really interesting.
    Mario could have moves where he launches himself into the air by smacking the ground or lunges forward by throwing the hammer like Thor. And since the hammer’s futuristic, it could also have some feature that allows it float in midair and be jumped on like Cappy, allowing the devs to maintain all of odyssey’s moves in this game. They could even pull moves from the rpgs such as the ability to “golf” enemies or objects with the hammer or to swing the hammer in circles to do a “tornado” style move. Not to mention the numerous ways the hammer could affect combat or puzzles.
    Nintendo’s gotta make this into an actual game.

IF, they want to make a third game, then that would be after Prime 4, and years away, like 3 more years.

Anyways, it will be years before Retro Studios can release another DK still being busy with Prime 4.
