nintendo has been listening since BOTW tf

[@Kawaiivee]

One thing that I think that could also be fun for nintendo would be the inclusion of specific IP characters for 3rd party games that come out on multiple platforms. Do any of you remember that you could play as Link in Soul Calibur 2 and Mario, Luigi, and Peach for a basketball game? I don't think Nintendo needs to promote their characters anymore, but it'd be real interesting to see stuff like that again.

[@KirbingusThe64rd]

I genuinely almost cried when they showed Mario and Luigi: Brothership It had been 9 years since Paper Jam, and 5 years since Alphadream's death, but Nintendo finally, FINALLY resurrected the series is the best possible way And Mario Party: Jamboree looks INSANE. It seems to be exactly what (at least I) fans want in a MArio Party Game. It took NDCube, 12 years to finally learn how to make a Mario Party Game

[@heinermorales895]

The funniest part of the M&L trailer for me is about 2 weeks ago, I saw a trailer for an M&L fan-game (Chronicle Hunters) that feels like it wears its inspiration on its sleeve, in the same way Pizza Tower and Bug Fables did It's got the same vibes as the OG Superstar Saga (complete with being sprite-based) but I'm still happy to see a new team taking over Alpha Dream's role with this Direct

[@Sayyble]

I've seen stuff like that the makers are the same people that did the RPG remake. And a good chunk of AlphaDream just work for Nintendo and other companies they have Apparently the main director works in MonolithSoft so A.D is still around.
