E3 2019 is upon us! :P

Seems like there has been several really big leaks already for Banda Namco games. 3 in particular. The entire internet has blown up over it.

Yeah, I have Code Vein paid off.
Also pre ordered
DQ XI S
Astral Chain
A Switch version of Bloodstained
Fire Emblem 3 houses

There already is a trailer for it on youtube. Do you mean another trailer?

I think we have an idea of what will be shown in terms of stuff like Luigi's Mansion 3 and such...and I get the feeling Animal Crossing for Switch will have a trailer but be delayed till 2020...so, with all that in mind, I'm just going to throw out things I'd like to see, even if there's no chance of them happening. I have interest in all these things, but some are higher than others...

Higher
-New 3D Castlevania that builds off of Castlevania 64 and Legacy of Darkness and features the game elements dropped during development from those titles.
-New 2D Castlevania that takes the map structure of Dracula's Curse with gameplay built up from Super Castlevania IV.
-New 3D Zelda that is based on Breath of the Wild but has a much more meaningful structure to it with key items. i.e. Do this, and not this.
-Hybrid Heaven 2 by Konami
-A sequel to the 3D Bionic Commando from 2009 from Capcom
-New Mega Man or Mega Man X that's full 3D, correcting the problems with Mega Man X7.

Middle
-3D Kirby equivalent to Mario 64
-3D Kid Icarus equivalent to Zelda: Ocarina of Time
-New Strider from Capcom
-New Metal Gear by Konami that isn't a weird spinoff. (A remake of the MSX2 games might be acceptable, too.)
-New Ghosts N Goblins from Capcom (or else a console port collection of the Gold Knights mini-series or the franchise as a whole)
-New 3D Bomberman adventure in the vein of Bomberman 64 and/or Bomberman Hero
-New Mega Man X
-Castlevania Anniversary Collection 2
Lower
-New Banjo Kazooie that isn't some odd spinoff
-New HD 2D Metroid
-New Wave Race
-Mario Maker 2 adds Super Mario Land 2 mode
-Winback 3 by Koei
-Spy-Fiction 2 by Access Games

Kid Icarus!

I think Kid Icarus is about exploration on the ground and flight/shmup mechanics in the air. This is obvious in Uprising and subtle in the NES title. I played through Uprising once and beaten it, and I played through the NES game many times and even the FDS version.

In the NES game, the only time Pit is in the air is at the final stage, flying with all 3 sacred items equipped, ready to fight Medusa and rescue Palutena in the process. So in the NES game, it was 90% ground and 10% air. It already felt too much like playing a Metroid game but with adjusted mechanics. It is also known that both NES Kid Icarus and NES Metroid used the same "2D platform development scheme" which explains why they are similar in some ways off the bat. Like for one, the Komayto enemies in Kid Icarus look like Metroids from Metroid.

In Uprising, I felt it was roughly 50% ground-based combat and 50% air attack. I don't recall ever being completely overwhelmed by too much of one type of game play or the other. With all this in mind, looking back I feel it was a healthy mix of game play. The only major learning curve was the controls which is really not a factor in the big picture.

I agree. I think if there will be a successor to Kid Icarus Uprising, the successor should essentially continue where Uprising left off. What I think all this should entail is the following:

Nintendo should bring back most if not all of the crew responsible for Uprising (which includes Sakurai I believe?), including any of the following if they do genuinely exist: prototype designs, game play mechanics proposed that then were rejected, learning experiences from the entire duration of Uprising's development, and other ideas the dev team had. Start work with a solid baseline and see how things pan out for a "Project Uprising 2".

Thank you for sharing this! Regarding the fan-made game, it can definitely work as representing ground-based combat and exploration for a future title. It would be a step back from where Uprising has been going if this was the only kind of game play. I will admit though that the game looks good

I will first preface that I played Uprising a little after the time it came out for the 3DS, which is somewhere between 2012 and 2013, so I will be going by whatever I can remember.

Uprising's ground sections were mostly combat and had simple exploration incentives, such as hearts that can serve a similar purpose as from the NES game, and food items. These items would be tucked inside treasure chests within the land areas that may not be easy/quick to reach unless some exploring is done. I remember a ground level with a castle (in ruins?) and I carefully moved around the perimeter outside of enemy vision to get a certain treasure.

I don't recall obtaining weapons from these chests out in the field. Anyone can feel free to correct me. I think weapons primarily, if not only, came from the Fiend's Cauldron where the more hearts are placed in the cauldron, the more difficult the next stage gets but with a greater or more rare weapon/item prize as a result of completion.

So really my use of the word "exploration" is relative. Uprising is definitely not at RotN's or even SotN's level of exploration, but at least it's something compared to the NES game. And that is precisely where that fan-made video comes into play when discussing some Kid Icarus future title.

I still believe it shouldn't lose the general structure of Uprising. But what I think it should have to set itself apart from Uprising is exploration at the level of the fan-made game plus a little more. Better yet, add another dimension of complexity by introducing some exploration incentives up in the air. Pit can do more up there than just blow stuff up and chat with Palutena at the same time.

RichterB, Clear

Uprising had paths that offshoot to dead ends with vehicles, one-use items and even weapons that you could get, sometimes by defeating enemy waves, and sometimes those same paths were alternate routes through the same level, they would also provide you with fun banter that you would miss otherwise.

Clear, yes there were special treasurefish enemies that you could kill at certain points in the level to get extra weapons without just reaching the end, you just needed to beat the level, you also gained them from treasure chest sprawled throughout the stage. You could miss these fish if you weren't paying close attention so there was an incentive to go off the beaten path at least.

I agree on the upping level design while also keeping the fast-paced combat to feel like an old/new Kid Icarus hybrid, also what you did mean by gameplay ideas that were made then cut? I'm curious about that.

I really hope no one here was excited for Shenmue 3 on PC because it just got confirmed as an Epic Games Store exclusive.
