An NDcube hiring brochure has been posted on Twitter and fans suspect that another Mario Party is on the way. Or is a F-Zero reboot coming?
Nintendo subsidiary NDcube is hiring, which means that new games are on the way!
Speculation about a new release started on Twitter, where a photo of NDcube’s 2021 recruitment brochure caught the attention of fans. The brochure featured the company’s popular titles (which were mostly Mario Party games) alongside a mystery game in the upper right corner.
What is most notable, however, is the accompanying text. “Let’s play a new game together!” the bubble says.
Subsequently, rumors began to circulate about a 2021 release for NDcube. The most popular theory is a new Mario Party, as it is the company’s best-known franchise.
However, recent speculation suggests that an F-Zero remake may be on the way.
What does new recruitment for NDcube mean? And what future releases could they have up their sleeve?
Here’s what we know about other great Nintendo titles coming in 2021.
New Mario Party for Nintendo Switch
Nintendo party games are extremely popular and a staple for the Mario franchise. However, NDcube’s latest release, Super Mario Party, was received as underwhelming.
Critics have criticized the lack of plaques and repetitive aesthetics of the game, with some fans claiming that NDcube has completely ruined the Mario Party series.
Consequently, fans went to Reddit to discuss the recruitment brochure. Most of the comments were not at all excited about another disappointing game and asked NDcube to improve their boards, spaces and content.
With Super Mario Party and its predecessors so infamous and lackluster, it is uncertain whether a new party game will win back its fans. The lack of content is one of the worst criticisms a video game can face.
Ultimately, if a new Mario Party is underway, developers need to pay close attention to fan comments to be successful.

New F-Zero Reboot for Nintendo Switch
Does the name F-Zero sound familiar? If you had an SNES or a Game Boy Advance at that time, you will probably recognize this little racing game.
The premise is simple, but effective. Choose your character, get into a vehicle (or “F-Zero machine”) and beat your opponents to the finish line!
Despite his adoration, a reboot of F-Zero may seem a little unusual, considering that his last international release was in 2001. So why do fans think he will make a comeback?
Recently, the F-Zero GX producer expressed interest in launching a new F-Zero under Nintendo. He believed that classic games were a good alternative to Mario Kart in the 1990s and early 2000s, and a remastered version would likely gain a lot of popularity.
Considering that the franchise looks significantly better than recent Mario Party games, a reboot of F-Zero may be what NDcube needs.
Admit it, a new F-Zero would look great on your Nintendo Switch screen – or a possible Switch Pro. Especially if the rumors about OLED screens are correct.
