Jeff Grubb confirming. It's a 2-step reveal. On the 16th will be almost 100% hardware with little to say about software. It's expected to launch by summer.

Kind of a shame, what I'm most looking forward to is new game announcements. It's been 8 years since Mario Odyssey and I need my 3D Mario fix.

If you didn't try it, "Bowser's Fury" was a lot of fun. It's annoyingly packaged with "3D World", although if you haven't played that it's also a good 3D Mario.

3D World + Bowser's Fury

What they need is another Super Mario 3D World, that isn’t a port from a previous system. Bowser’s Fury is a half game.

Odyssey is fantastic, but 3D World is a pitch-perfect three-dimensional adaptation of the original platformer.

I'd like a more Mario sunshine/64 style game. The movement mechanics were sublime in sunshine. That itch hasn't been scratched since, even by odyssey, which came closer than the galaxy games.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Makes sense, when Sunshine was made the only other 3D Mario was 64, so it used the same formula on a larger and more elaborate scale.

But then something unexpected happened, they made bonus levels that were capsule worlds that looked a lot like classic Mario games. And players wanted more of that so the Galaxys were basically that, fleshed out into full games.

Odyssey is a natural progression of Galaxy’s formula. But 3D World is not a natural progression of Sunshine, its New Super Mario Bros. in 3D.

It would be nice to get more 64/Sunshine-type games.

I want more Animal Crossing 🤞 I'm hoping with it's success for New Horizons that we don't have to wait 12 years again for the next one. A new Mario would be good too though, Odyssey was a lot of fun.

This holiday season for that one then, with Mario Kart allegedly coming at launch.
