I became a fan of GS and the company after playing the IP’s games on NSO and buying and playing a copy of Dark Dawn, the last entry in the series to be released by them. I have even found myself quoting their principles taken from their website. The one where they quote famous people from history to explain what they want out of new employees: https://www.camelot.co.jp/wp/ Not to mention, as a hobbyist game dev, I actually look up to them.

That said, I feel like Camelot is not being put to best use by Nintendo. I realized that sometime after seeing the reveal of Mario Tennis Fever in the last Direct. Don’t get me wrong, I think the game looks great so far, and because of the inclusion of its adventure mode, I would be curious to learn more about it and see if it’s what I’ve been wanting for to come out from the team. It’s also worth noting we have no confirmation that the title’s being developed by Camelot, but the game certainly looks like their signature style so far, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

I personally would like to see them make games that best take advantage of their utmost level of creativity. To me that was something like GS. If they’re not gonna make a new Golden Sun, I would at least like to see them work on something else that’s varied in creative endeavors. You know, like something that has a world, characters, unique exploration, etc..

I get that they’re a rather small team and Nintendo’s not gonna raise their number of employees. But I actually think it would be all the more worth it if Nintendo did raise their number count. As much as I love Nintendo for their IPs, despite the company’s few flaws right now, I actually think they could benefit from having GS or another IP of different gameplay in their lineup of existing games. You know, more variety, for people that may not be interested in every franchise.

I don’t mean to sound negative or mad writing this post too. This is just something I found to be slightly disappointing and am curious if anyone else feels the same way.

1. Post a tree, preferably with a picture attached.
2. Present your case: give clear and specific reasons you believe your tree of choice is the most iconic.

We may not get a definitive answer, but hey it might to some interesting discussion.

With that, here's my nominee: Woody from Mario Party.

We had a fun time developing these, and Dave was kind enough to show them off during the stream.

While I am thoroughly enjoying what is, I can't help but notice some glaring exclusions: the Cruis'n games, the top gear rally games, and the Rush games!

to me, these games are symbolic of the experience of renting games on N64, as an early adopter, especially the first of each in their series'. I loved these games and I often pine for them when I just want an arcade racer to kind of lose myself in.

how do you feel about these games? any other games that y'all feel are still missing from NSO 64?

I’d also like the collectors book but they said in Direct they don’t know when that’ll be available.

I watched the direct today and was excited. I planned on buying Prime, Fever. The DK DLC, Fire Emblem, RE 8, RE 9, Galaxy 2, and maybe the Pokemon games, the FF 7 remake, and I was even thinking the Dragon Quest Games and Stardew as I hadnot bought it. Then I looked up prices and started realizing that this was way out of my price range.

I was thinking to myself, half of those games are old so it wouldn't be that expensive and then almost every single game was 10-40 dollars more than I expected. The DLC was something I thought would be 5 bucks and it is 20. The Pokemon DLC is 30!!!

Honestly I didn't buy Galaxy 2 back on the Wii because I was poor and had to pass, it was a 50 dollar game so I assumed that it would be 40 dollars for the two games, but it's 35 per game in the bundle. 40 for Galaxy 2 alone. FF7 is a key card so that's out. I watched that direct and said I think there's 8-10 purchases there and after the sticker shock I think I am getting Prime 4 and Fire Emblem if it's
like 3 Houses, and just waiting until RE 9 is cheap on PC. I got RE7 for 20 bucks, so maybe Nintendo just talked themselves out of me as a customer.

Don't get me started on the Virtual Boy. 100 bucks might make sense if it was a quality headset that you used like the Oculus by sliding the switch 2 in, provided every VB game was on a physical cartridge for game preservation. But 100 bucks for the same awful design from 1995 and you still have to pay a premium subscription to play the games. This might be the worst move Nintendo has ever made

Is anyone else feeling the same way?

I was so excited after Cyberpunk, thinking I was going to be using mouse mode to play games on my huge TV from here on our, but the PC is just so much cheaper for games. 65 minutes and after all that I might buy 1 or 2 games because there is no value anymore.

Could we at least get sales?

Sorry I don't have more money, but horrible corporations ruined the economy out of greed, and now apparently you're one of those companies.

I bought over 600 games from them and every system including the Virtual Boy. But now I seriously am wondering if my Switch 2 is going to continue to be a Balatro machine due to cost. I am already eating just rice Nintendo and polycrisis is just starting.

I didn't even bring up my electric bill... I hate the future.

I need to trauma dump here about not getting a shy guy game ive been waiting forever
guys please tell me your ideas so i know im not alone...

Please...

10 minutes later my Switch 2 had downloaded the original PS1 FF7 that I had bought for £7.99 several years ago. I wonder if Nintendo has confused the 2 games and this could cause problems for anyone preordering and ending up with the original game?
