DLSS is going to be massive for the NS successor being able to have the fidelity of one output while not actually running at those settings is a feature that's unreal it's impact in Death Stranding is something else.

Poor Mother at the end , the accuracy.

The Metroid one 

Well I guess I know what 3 games I'm playing after I finish Final Fantasy VI, The Talos Principle and Majora's Mask 3D.

Where is Ryuzaki now? 

I haven't heard from him in ages, did he say third parties would always sell better on PS or something?

Not a bad idea, actually. Do you mean the old arcade games or the DKC-trilogy? Or even both, perhaps?

Then there's also the Mario vs Donkey Kong series. Has anybody played one of these?

Well next year is Donkey Kongs 40th anniversary...however its also Zeldas 35th anniversary, so he might get the shaft again

The encouraging thing about the Mario Direct, at least for me, was that even after announcing 3D All Stars, the 3D World port, and Mario Kart Live, they've still left November and December clear; you'd think if they had nothing else major for the holidays, they would've slotted one of those three games into the November position. Maybe, just maybe, they actually have a big holiday game after all.

My hope for big Holiday title is Monster Hunter, yes a 3rd party

I still believe on 2D Metroid and old school Fire Emblem

Those along with Pikimin, Scam Trilogy and other Mario toys are more than enough for a very strong Q4 in software sales

The deadline however is this month. If October comes and nothing is confirmed then it means no big holiday title :/

Well if they have a big holiday title, then Bravely Default 2 and No More Heroes 3 needs to come out soon in order to not get buried. Although I have a feeling that NMH3 might be delayed.
