IGN's terrible list of returning Wii games (on WiiU)

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/11/wii-franchises-we-want-on-wii-u

Am I the only one? Where is Metroid and Zelda? Where is Xenoblade? WHY THE HECK DO WE WANT A GALAXY THEME AGAIN!?!?

lol I am sorry, but if Nintendo puts Mario in space again I am going to flip out. :P

I agree, would love to see Xenoblade, Last Story return as a series like FF, Metroid (except in 3rd person, after playing Other M) & Disaster: Day of Crisis ...these are the games that I've always thought about & imagine if it was on a more powerful hardware.

Conduit Wii U. If HVS even gets a chance at another sequel (after the dismal sales Conduit 2), I'm sure they would love to use the Wii U to it's max, like they did with the Wii.

I just want the Wii U to come out already!

Whatever form Mario takes on the Wii U is going to be incredible whether its another Galaxy or not, so I'm not worried. But I would like another Muramasa!

I hear ya. While I am not saying the linearity of Galaxy is bad, I do miss the old sandboxy levels that require some exploring and thought of how to reach an area. Of course they could enhance them with some more modern platforming elements and such.

My biggest thing though is that I REALLY don't want it to take place in a Galaxy again. I hate the argument "He has been in space, where else can he go!?" Like space is the end all be all. I guess Zelda just cannot match Mass Effect, cause we all know space is the best :P.

muramasa is not a franchise :| vanillaware is working with atlus on a beat'em up for the playstation systems, if i recall.BrunoBRS

Anyway, that list is pretty terrible, but when I think about it, aside from the givens like Zelda, Mario, Smash Bros. ect., there really aren't that many other games I'd like to see return. Epic Yarn was ok, I just got bored with it because not being able to die really removed any pressure from the game and I got so bored I didn't even finish it, as good as the platforming and puzzles were. I really would like to see another Mario game with Galaxy-esque areas, but I want DK64 exploration in some areas. That's basically my favorite platformer ever, and for good reason. Obviously I'd like to see games like Xenoblade and Monster Hunter return as well, but Monolith Soft already has a Wii U game planned and Monster Hunter appears to be moving to the 3DS so those may or may not be a possibility.

:|....don't speak to me :P. I have not played TS1, but TS2 (and TS3, but not as much) are amazing games and clear spiritual successors. Maybe a bit more like Perfect Dark, which was a better game than GE overall.

I have not played Odin's sphere or Muramasa though lol. I thought about buying Muramasa, but never did.

You can tell just by looking at screens that Muramasa and Odin's Sphere are spiritual successors. They look like they could be from the same game, and you can tell they're made from the same people.

I respetfully disagree with you on TS2 (cannot comment on 1). I think it is the best one (though Perfect Dark 64 would be the best if it didnt have framerate issues among other archaic problems). I think the GE and PD influenced oozed in TS2. Had so much fun with all those games. I miss the agent sty1e FPS games. Stealth/action like that is just nonexistant now. It is either pure stealth games, or run and gun constantly.

Meh, Platformers are best when they are 2D IMO. The closer to 2D platformers a 3D platformer gets the better. When they opened up the levels in the N64 era, Level design took a heavy hit. The best level designs for this genre are easily all found in the 2d plain.

I rank the 3D marios as follows

Super Mario Galaxy 2>Super Mario 3D Land>Super Mario Galaxy>Super Mario 64>Super Mario Sunshine

[QUOTE="Sepewrath"] nay, sandbox levels are not "classic" Mario. Pikminmaniac

Then why have 3D in the first place if things are just going to be in 2D.

3D Marios should be open world like. If Nintendo is going to put out 2D Marios, then 3D Marios should have exploration. This way, there can be two different styles of gameplay.

There is a place for both no doubt. I am not hating on 2D (though I prefer 3D mario) My ranking would PROBABLY be:

Super Mario 64 > Super Mario Galaxy 2 > Super Mario Sunshine > Super Mario Galaxy > Super Mario 3D Land

The level design in 64 is awesome. I love that you can see where you want to be, but you don't know how to get there. So you have to survey the situation and do your best to beat it. The level variety in SM64 is my favorite. Sure Galaxy 2 does a great job no doubt, and obviusly has more variety in the amount, but not many are as memorable as most of SM64's levels. I also REALLY miss the HUB worlds :(. Sunshine is an awesome game, but lacks in evironment variety.

Xenoblade doesn't need a sequel, what are they gonna do? Sail the ocean to kill more "gods"?

Though of course we all need the last story II, I'm just sayin. That and another rune Factory.

My statement was for Pikiminmaniac. If people want tight platforming, then they should play 2D mario. The 3D Mario games should be more about exploration. Why have two games that do the same thing? The Mario games should be different from one another so that there is a reason to play them all.

Aye!
