Nintendo's New Groove: An Alternate Nintendo Timeline

[The Gamer Sunflower]

While things are looking up here in Nintendo, there’s a downside for Nintendo. They want to go deeper, as their games, their anime, and their movies so far won’t even cut it by a notch. They’re planning on a Nintendo theme park known as “Super Nintendo World”, new animated series and movies based on their IPs, plans for a Super Mario graphic novel series, a return to what they have worked on before stepping into the video game industry (minus the love hotels), rebooting older franchises, and more!

Also, something, something, DLC expansions for Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Also, Ubisoft celebrates Rayman’s 25th anniversary by releasing Rayman Redemption!

Also, DeviantArt doesn’t make Eclipse mandatory (I should have said that DA accidently shuts down Eclipse, but that would be really weird, even when put out of context). And the 2016 president was not Donald Trump, but a man named “Gilbert Sullivan”. He’s known for convincing China to prevent COVID-19 from happening, has prevented World War III from happening, so on, and so forth.

Ok, about this alternate timeline of mine, people have been wondering about why my timeline can cause some *clears throat* problems. That’s because of one thing. I think it was rather complicated to explain the details of what’ll happen, so...

Come to think of it, I wasn’t sure about what to think about in this threadmark. Got any ideas left for me?

That would be a wonderful future isn't it?

 

[MegaToon1234]

That would be a wonderful future isn't it?

Yeah!

 

[The Gamer Sunflower]

Yeah!

Anyway, what is this "Touhou Reboot" like in your Timeline?

 

[MegaToon1234]

Anyway, what is this "Touhou Reboot" like in your Timeline?

I haven’t decided yet.

 

[FireDragon845]

Gilbert Sullivan

We do not deserve him, he's too good for us.

 

[MegaToon1234]

We do not deserve him, he's too good for us.

Why was that?

 

[FireDragon845]

Why was that?

Just a joke.

 

[MegaToon1234]

Just a joke.

Oh, ok.

This is it, gents. This is what I have worked on!

 

[MegaToon1234]

Wow! 35 years of a certain big red icon? You know who I’m talking about.

It’s been 35 years since Super Mario Bros. came out on the ANAVS back in 1985. In case you don’t know, Super Mario Bros. is the starting point of the Super Mario series (even if Donkey Kong is where the Mario franchise as a whole started), but Super Mario Bros. 2: The Legend of the Warp Zone is the turning point for the Super Mario series. Right now, let’s look at the games announced for this event!​

• Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.​
• Mario Kart AR: Home Circuit (known as Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit IOTL)​
• Super Mario 3D All-Stars (contains Super Mario Castle World, Super Mario Star Palace, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Regions, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 now with enhanced graphics and such!)​
• Super Mario Bros. 35​
• Super Mario Odyssey 2​
• Super Mario One-4-All: Definitive Edition (known as Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury IOTL) (NOTE: This won’t come out until 2021.)​

Also, there’s LEGO Super Mario, a new Super Mario graphic novel series, collaborations with any piece of media, so on, and so forth.
Also, a little off-topic, but I consider having Yooka and Laylee and the other characters from Yooka-Laylee be part of the Banjo-Kazooie series ITTL.
Things got very big for Nintendo now! Everyone is impressed by how Nintendo is doing ITTL, including Atari! No one can ever beat them! Well, except for Sony and Microsoft, that is.

I wonder if there’s anything else I should add...​

Is anyone gonna do some more work on these?

Remember this?
Well, about the animated movies, any ideas on what'll happen to DreamWorks, Warner Bros. Animation, and other animated movie companies ITTL?

 

[FireDragon845]

Well, for one, finally make The Iron Giant 2!

 

[MegaToon1234]

Ok, anything else?

 

[MegaToon1234]

Well, it’s that time. Since 2020’s coming to a close, let’s end this year with this threadmark!
Right now, Nintendo never shuts down the free Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament thing (or whatever it was called) since they learned that the Super Smash Bros. games was also a competitive game series. Also, they are impartial towards fan games, mods, tournaments, music, etc. (thus explaining why they were releasing the ports of two Super Mario fan games from Mario Fan Games Galaxy known as “Mario Sky Sumo Deluxe'' and “Toad Strikes Back Deluxe!”), but they’ll never shut most of them down, unlike they did IOTL, so they’re kinda like Capcom around fangames, so... (I think there’s gonna be some controversy around that subject........)

Spoiler: Author's note

I’m very impartial around Nintendo’s DMCA thing, but they were taking it too far with it. Also, ITTL, Nintendo takes down rip-off games rather than fan games.

Anyway, let’s get to the DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so far.

1. Hornet (Daytona USA)
2. Quote (Cave Story) (3rd-Party)
3. Ayumi Tachibana (Famicom Detective Club)
4. Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot) (3rd-Party)
5. Alex Kidd (Alex Kidd)
6. Monster Hunter (Monster Hunter) (3rd-Party)
7. Koro (KoroTimes) (3rd-Party)
8. Min-Min (ARMS)
9. Steve (Minecraft) (3rd-Party)
10. Funguse (Super Mario)
11. ??? (3rd-Party)
12. ???
13. ??? (3rd-Party)
14. ???
15. ??? (3rd-Party)
16. ???
17. ??? (3rd-Party)
18. ???
19. ???
20. ??? (3rd-Party)

What’s that? 20 DLC fighters? Well, ITTL’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there’ll be twenty DLC fighters! Now, as for the ten mystery DLC fighters? More details will be explained later on.

Oh yeah! There’s one game announced in E3 2020, but I never planned to add it into the E3 2020 threadmark, and it was Pac-Man x Sword Art Online: Legends Collide (To promote both the 40th Anniversary of Pac-Man and SAO Season 3 Part 2). Also, that aforementioned game was released somewhere in Q4 2020.

Also, The Last of Us Part II either got cancelled or delayed or something, Fortnite becomes lost media as of 2019, Super Mario Odyssey 2 has a new DLC expansion thing in the works, the winner for The Game Awards was completely different, and as for the others? Well, Nintendo has announced some new movies, including a Super Smash Bros. movie that’ll be released in 2024! Oh! And also, Super Nintendo World was opened earlier (due to no COVID-19 ITTL).

Not only that, there are also gonna be some anniversaries for some of Nintendo’s IPs, such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo, Golden Sun, and more! Also, Yoshiaki Koizumi is now in charge of the Super Mario series after Shigeru Miyamoto moved on to other things after the Nintendo Revolution era was done. Not only that, Masahiro Sakurai is no longer the director of the Super Smash Bros. series after the release of Super Smash Bros. Blast due to having him and his team work on more games for the Kid Icarus series, but he can still leave some ideas for the person who’s now the director of the Super Smash Bros. series.

And now, for the big event happening! On December 10, 2020, Satoru Iwata (who is still alive ITTL (idea by @SomeBritNamedThom) has announced that he will retire from the Nintendo company, and so everyone at Nintendo (as well as Sega, HAL, Game Freak, and other gaming companies affiliated with Nintendo (as well as Atari (who was once part of Nintendo between 1983-1996)) waved goodbye to Satoru Iwata as he’s retiring, and it has been an end of an era for Nintendo.

Thank you master, your quest is over.
We present you a new quest!​

Thank you EVER so much! I couldn't appreciate people using my ideas more! (Though, mainly when I'm not going to use theses ideas in my own works, but still.)

Cool!
