Yes. Launch title for NX console.

I know a guy who knows a guy which is friend with the cousin in the 3rd degree to the woman who takes care of the trees were the dog of the janitor of NoA pisses when he walks it.

I hope so. Hopefully it launches F2 "start" like it was clearly designed for.

Of course next system we will have:
Mario Kart 9
Super Smash Bros. 5 or whatever
Splatwoon

Absolutely. I'm expecting 8 on 8 squid battles with a plethora of maps and modes available at launch. I'm also expecting voice chat and a esports mode where it is 4 on 4 teams. Obviously this will be the system after NX or at the very end of NX's life, even though it was promised at launch.

But the real kicker? Pants.

Of course. The game has a 10% attach ratio and that could rise to 15-%20, so it definitely deserves a sequel.

Yes, of course. It's selling well and they can add a lot of new things and ideas.

There is a 1% chance it will never happen.

If a game sells well, expect a sequel..

of course.
so many things to add to the game.
8x8 teams
3 or 4 teams against each other

guarantee that if they hadn't started on a sequel before release, they have by now. The whole 1 million in 1 month guarantees them making a sequel.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it as a launch NX game.
