Future of Nintendo's Flagships

The future of Nintendo's flagships are CAUSUALIZATION!

:lol:

jakehouston88

yeah cause we know how casual team ninja can be

I want New Super Mario Bros Wii more than the other 3 games but all should end up being good. I have a slight concern for Super Mario Galaxy 2 because it might get critcised for being to similar to its predesscor.

The need to revitalise Zelda imo. use wiimotion+ and use it well Change up the boss fights (any boss fights you walk into you know the magic number is 3) Bring in Orchestral music, Voice Acting Create a dynamic world (I found TP SOOOOO static) Dont have weapons for the sake of weapons. Change up the formula. Because this is how a zelda goes Collect 3 items, pivitol plot change, collect x more items, beat gannon. In addition on a smaller scale its, Find weapon in dungeon. Beat boss with said weapon. I would prefer some things that really made you use your full aresenal. Have epic boss battles that have multiple phases requiring different tactics and skills.metalisticpain

I would want this with the addition of some more story elements.. hell, even maybe some RPG elements.. Action RPG's are all the rage these days, the Zelda universe would lend itself well to the genre :-/

Donkey Kong died when RARE left. Star Fox doesn't seem to be on their priority list. F-Zero would either end up casualized or be too unsuccessful because it would be so freakishly hard. And Pikmin is in the works. They *need* new IP to take full advantage of the "motion" controls. Without it, they are just making new ways to play old ideas. Which really isn't anything to shake a stick at. Its good, but not what Nintendo has been known for in the previous three generations.

About the bolded text.You did not play Mario Kart Wii, did you? That game was as HARD as an F-Zero game as I might add, and it's not even supposed to be that hard

3 of Nintendo's most overused franchises.:P

For me, it's probably The Legend of Zelda Wii, though Zelda is my least favorite of the 3.

Metroid isnt used enough in my opinion haha

Maybe because im a huge platform, I cnat get enough of them.

Oh and Retro wasnt a different company. They're owned by Nintendo, Team Ninja is just a weird combination.

Tht1Guy7780

But an awesome one at that. I love Metorid but can't play them because I don't own a Wii, I think Metroid intrests me more than anything else Nintendo has done. It is just so awesome. The first game was perfect (the only one I've played).

I honestly only own my wii for Metroid. No lie. Zelda never changes. Oh, I like the Virtual Console a lot too.

As long as Zelda Wiidoesn't disapoint like Zelda TP, i will be fine...I liked TP, it's just there was so much copy from OOT, and i didn't like the hyrule field... From what Miyamoto said it should be fine. I imagine, what you do will be the same (Have three weapons out at a time, and Z targeting. That stuff)), but level design, boss battles,music, and PLEASE! PLEASE! Let there be differentequipment.Each Zelda gives you the Fairy bow, hookshot (and its various copies)and bombs (and its various forms). While all these may be necesities, i feel like this is all the good things zelda has given us! There havn't been any other good equipment besides those items! Comon Nintendo! Give Zelda an Item that is used all the time that is different besides those!! In TP they couldn't think of another item for you, so you know what they give you? A second claw shot!

I'm very iffy on the new Zelda game, I want it so bad but Link without a sword???, that's like Snake without cigarette.

New Metroid looks hot.

Don't care about Mario.

The games with the best chance to cause uproar and cheer are MOM and Zelda Wii. SMG2 will be more of the same. More of the same is a damn good thing since SMG has a concept that can expand forever and was only minorly tapped into. I think MOM will be the game but it will either flop or absolutely draw in anyone who plays it.

They never said anything about playing the game without a sword, Shiggy just pointed out that Link is holding no sword in the picture.

Why would he push for M+ combat if there was no swordplay?:P

can we please stop calling metroid the other m "MOM"...it

sounds wrong.

Shinobishyguy

No, MOM is its name and that's how it'll remain :P

They all look equally amazing. SMG2 will have a more difficult edge, Zelda Wii will use motion plus and Metroid will have 3rd person/first person combat (this is what I have dreamed of since seeing the intro to Super Smash Bros. Melee.)

You'll only have to pay $50 and MOM will entertain you all night;)

It's terrible...

At least the rabid fanboi's have stayed away from this thread, I assumed anything with Nintendo in the title would lure in the horde:D

It will take about 10 hours or so to beat MOM and over 20 to explore every part of MOM.

OMG TEH CONSPIRACY?!

"MOM" is the the game I'm more excited about on that list. SMG2 should be good, but I have a sneaking suspicion lightning won't strike for a second time. Not to say it'll be bad, but like most direct sequels won't quite capture all the magic of the first.

But for real, i wouldn't mind Nintendo exploring their other first parties or creating some new IPs.

Where's Pikmin 3? Starfox? Kirby? A new Mother Game?

[QUOTE="TaMuK711"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] MOM, wow, that's funny.:P

I spit out my drink, thank you for the laugh XD

[QUOTE="TaMuK711"]Do they really need to create a new IP? They have so many old ones just sitting on the shelf that would do very well with a revamping. We still haven't even seen a Donkey Kong, Star Fox, F-zero, or Pikmin game yet, and people are clamoring for a Kid Icarus revival. I think with all that, the Wii _____ IP is the only new thing we're going to get out of Ninty for a while:P

foxhound_fox

you know R&D1's main priority is one or two games and hardware

so you aren't counting Monando, Captain Rainbow, Disaster, Endless Ocean, Dynamic Slash, Tact of Magic, Cosmic Walker, Elektroplankon (2005 or so new IP i believe)

And you say the don't have a new IP to take full advantage of motions

THAT GAME you say they need to make just scored 8.0 on GAMESPOT! Wii Sports Resort, Wii sports is a brand new IP this gen and has revolutionized the industry and the sequel is highly rated, and from personally play its very good and fleshed out

Are you going to ingore Uncharted, Ratchet, Resistance just coz they aren't interally developed by SCEA, SCEJ?

You can't count out all of the development studios ninty owns, thats just unfair.

Then i wonder how many new IPs stricly SCEA, or MGS has made this generation. Not lionhead, not insomniac, just Microsoft Game Studios, and Sony Computer Entertainment of A, E, J.

Since you want to just count Nintendo R&D1 which like i said, concerns itself with one game or so, and then with hardware

I think Metroid and Zelda will be big. SMG2 won't have the same magic that the first game had but it will still be a great game.

Actually just happened in the Wii forums, resulting in a locked thread.. Who can honestly say Nintendo is kiddy, they obviously use subliminal messaging to trick people into making sex jokes.
