The Game Awards’ official Twitter account having posted a survey to its followers, asking them which game from Nintendo they most expect to announce next. This resulted in an incredible amount of responses, revealing the diverse and passionate wish lists of the gamers’ community. The answers depicted what the players mostly wanted to see soon from the famous publisher, ranging from long-vanished franchises to highly awaited sequels.
The Game Awards account just threw out this question and the internet went bonkers. It is a straightforward question, isn’t it? What is the next game you want Nintendo to announce? But to the gamers, the answers were a complete history of and a total chaos of the gaming industry. The replies are a total chaos in the best possible way, a messy scroll through decades of gaming history and pure, unfiltered hope.
In fact, big names were already there right from the beginning, showing their faces. Zelda. Only Zelda. George Rivera just shared a single picture of Link and wrote the modest request “Zelda plz”. It’s not even particular! Just… more Zelda. Give it to us. That’s the feeling. Still there are the details: a new 2D Metroid is being called for by Christian Maccise, which is what we all are after now that Dread is done. And Super Mario Odyssey 2 is a huge one, with several people simply posting it out like a prayer.
Then it got really crazy. Pollock’s the forgotten franchises were resurrected. F-Zero. A continuation of Kid Icarus Uprising. Wario Land. EARTHBOUND. People are vocally asking for Earthbound anything and the fanbase demonstrates its endurance and they are starving. User Tyler Outland had a complete list: a single-player sequel to “brothership” (must be Mario & Luigi), Luigi’s Mansion 4, a new Smash Bros with a better story, and a new 3D Mario. This guy really wants the whole feast.
And then there was the Switch 2 of it all. Some replies just entirely skip the game and ask for the console. “Nintendo switch 2 tour 2” by COLORGEIST is a whole mood. Like, just announce the next hardware already, we are ready. Others are already visualizing it, Blackwings Wolf is wishing for a new Star Fox on Switch 2 that brings back Krystal and introduces Marcus McCloud. That’s some forward-thinking lore right there.
The pandemonium really starts with the deep cuts and some… other stuff. One user, mah_boi, went on a full rant asking for Criminal Girls 3, Moero Chronicle 3, and Omega Labyrinth 3, finishing with “I just wanna touch my anime women on a touchscreen 👉👈” and a request for Dungeon Travelers and Senran Kagura ports. Sir, this is a Nintendo channel. But hey, dreams are free!
You also have the ridiculously funny negativity. “Legend of Bankruptcy,” tweeted ARAARASHINIGAMI. And Mekyi merely sighed, “Anything that isn’t too expensive (it’s not gonna happen, is it).” They know. They all know.
You can’t have a Nintendo thread without a Breath of the Wild argument. A whole sub-thread appeared between users AnAverageGamerX, Drussell1994, and DragonSireMods discussing whether BotW was good, if it was a good Zelda game, and how it connected with an old tech demo. “Good game but not a good Zelda game no dungeons, all the bosses had the same design, weapons breaks after 10 hits,” asserted Drussell1994. It’s the same classic argument that’s been going on since 2017, just in a Twitter reply chain. Never change, gamers.
Some ideas are just pure, beautiful chaos. “Super Mario 3D Maker” from xWicked_ Racer. A “Mario is Missing remake” from Mark Bailey (with a winking tongue emoji, so he might be joking… or is he?). And Ghost Light came in with a complete manifesto: a new Super Mario Bros. with old-school 3-lives-only, no-continues difficulty and a demand for Mario to become a “true modern-gen graphical showcase.” They even tagged Nintendo America. The audacity! We love it.
The enormous volume and variety of responses indicate one thing with crystal clarity: the Nintendo community’s demand is absolutely gigantic and incredibly varied. Players are not merely awaiting the next installment; they are hopeful for whole lists of classic titles to be revived and for present-day series to make their next major leap. This is not just a wish list; it is a glimpse into the past of several decades of love for Nintendo’s realms, characters, and the exact kinds of magic that only they can provide.
