I know this kind of thing has been discussed before and debated relentlessly primarily in the Switch topic but why not have a place to talk about what we expect the Switch successor to be like as I think its fair to say we are probably closer to it than the Switch launch. This quote from Ubisoft about Marrio + Rabbids SOH has me thinking it might end up being another backwards compatible console, particularly if you look at all the stuff in the recent Direct. I can't really see us getting to the end of 2025 (at a stretch) without a new console and I can't see Nintendo choosing to put so much effort this late in a console's life if there wasn't. I think either Thanksgiving time next year or maybe early 2025. I also know it won't happen but I want them to call it The Switchatwo. Scientific Wild-Ass Guesses for those that don't know

I would assume so. Google has phased out the Android name in all but the OS itself.

The colour of that liquid raises questions

I guess they're just being pragmatic. I'll leave.

Good god I'm old

It's still dead:

Did I buy you that when I was in Japan in 2009 or was that for someone else?

Yeah that's kind of what I was getting at here Just seen this which makes a nice point: I can't see this coming to any Mario Maker though. The variety of things in place seems like it would be out of scope as it's specific to this game, so wouldn't work on other art styles. Which I know they did a bit for the NSMB style but seems more extreme here? The art style alone would be nice, but then would feel a bit like a half-fulfilled promise.

Oh yeah but they could have new special abilities.

Three good boys!

But the elephant, stretchy and rock ball thing don't have icons. Maybe the other characters do have special abilities that we've just not seen.

His face is in the character list in the top left, unlike other power ups. Could be an actual character but maybe other players can jump on and let the Yoshi player control them?

I say bring back the double mechanic just for Poochy, teamed up with Oatchi. Two good boys together.

It's no wonder. It's only been what, 8 or so years since Europe got an actual release of it? I played it for a while but never finished it. Might pick it up.

New track and new characters in the next wave:

The new art style and animation does look great. Not interested in another 2D Mario game personally but some interesting stuff in there. And nice not to see two Toads! The internet is going to have things to say (and make) about this:

"Wonder Seed" 😩

And another Wario Ware!

24th October

Metal Gear 😱

The DLC drops later today! Might have to unpack my switch.

At least there will be some games towards the end unlike the Wii.
