The all-new spectacular 2015 gaming predictions thread.

But this is Nintendo hasn't even Iwata even said that Nintendo don't need to pay for exclusive content or something on those lines.

Thus, the ethical difference between Sony and Nintendo.

2.) Paper Luigi - I know, it's not the year of Luigi anymore but the last Paper Mario was a travesty and the series needs new life, a game from the same time as TTYD yet set from Luigi's perspective.

On a less serious note. Wealdstone Raider for Smash Bro's DLC?

Totally up for another decent Paper Mario-like game. Or rather, TTYD2, since they apparently can't be trusted to make something new that gets anywhere near that level.

And I'm hoping for a Capcom Smash pack to complement Mega Man (not very hard, mind). Bass/Amaterasu/Phoenix Wright anyone?

Also the Yacht Club dudes appear to be Nintendo fans, based on their Direct coverage etc.; I don't think they'd be financially-motivated; if anything, Shovel Knight's more likely to be a trophy in Super Smash Bros. 5 Ultra Hyper Edition; along the lines of the e.g. Rayman Legends and BitTrip Runner trophies.

Also some Monster hunter assist trophies & Sissel from Ghost Trick?

Why not? Felynes dressed as the Mario Bros., maybe.

If there not financially-motivated why bring to PS4, VITA and have exclusive content in the game for those systems, you would think they've made enough money from 3DS, Wii U, STEAM that they don't need to take Sony's money.

Aye but I'd like to see the monsters themselves show up, the obvious picks being Rathian & Rathalos.

Games will be released.

Based on the fact that games were released on Friday, I win this thread.

Serious prediction, though: Yoshi's Wooly World won't be as good as we hoped. I'm desperate to be proved wrong about this, but that's my gut feeling.

After this week

Not trying to be an arsehole or anything but those predictions were a wee bit safe.

Those ones were but not sure about things like my Sonic prediction is a safe bet.

Battletoads in Shovel Knight Xbox One Edition do I can get anything for that

Nothing on the next generation consoles, despite pleading from Wii U haters.  (Don't want to overshadow that shiny new 3DS, now do we?)

Erm. Apparently we're not hearing anything about it until 2016, but still. Black mark against my name already.

I think I've got Halo 5 & Rise of the Tomb Raider the wrong way round,

A quick update whilst looking for a old thread

Bloodborne is quite good, but changes to make it more accessible mean it is not as memorable as Souls. Haven't played it yet, but it sounds like I was needlessly pessimistic here.

Indeed you were as I now can't separate BB & DaS in terms of which I like better.

I was waiting for someone to bump this,

I updated mine a while ago but going back I made 40 predictions and I have myself 1 point if 100% bang on but with my SMGHD, I gave myself self 0.75 points and my total is 24.5points that I am right over half the time.

Are we doing this for 2016 as I really like doing these? I see there is one.

Ohh and Arkham Knight is alright but dilutes the gameplay a bit too much, You were right Drunka though
