[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"][QUOTE="locopatho"][QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] I'd say, like Metroid Prime, let SMG end. SMG1 was a masterpiece and an SMG2 (which felt more like an expansion pack) wasn't necessary (not to mention, it doesn't even have a bigger punch compared to something like how Sonic 3 had a bigger punch than Sonic 2).

SMG2 was "unnecessary" in that it didn't really do much new, and was just more of the same for the most part. But it was more of the same of one of the best games ever, so hard to complain too much! I do think they should do a different Mario from Galaxy 3. Hard to know where they can go from here. I would LOVE some more mountain levels though, remember the really vertical levels in Mario 64 that take like half an hour to reach the summit? Such an accomplishment to reach it!

SMG2 was literally a bunch of ideas that didn't make it to SMG1. Aka Yoshi and their powerups, new powerups including Cloud shrooms, tougher level design, and a leaner presentation overall.

That freak of a cloud shouldn't have made it in... his comments were inappropraite...

[QUOTE="locopatho"] I think they drove Ratchet into the ground this gen, like what happened to Crash and Spyro after PS1. Glad Jak and Sly avoided that fate.

Right. even Jak's spinoff Combat Racing was fun IMO. Oh man, I had so much fun with that game. Speaking of Sly, I have to pick up Sly4.

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"] I had a lot of fun with 3DLand, :) but I never really played the Galaxy games. I enjoyed how they ditched the life bar.

It was just so terribly dull. I realized after playing it more, the only reason I was continuing was because it was a 3D Mario game. Just random blocks floating in the air. I also hated how they incorporated things from the 2D Marios like size being an indication of life. Tbh though, I don't know why the life system still exists in Mario games. Reaching 0 lives just feels archaic in the way the game does nothing but boot you back to the menu only to give you more lives.[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"] To be honest, SM3DL wasn't even that bad of a game, considering it is a handheld platformer. Ratchet and Clank All 4 One, now that is what you call disappointing.

It wasn't "bad" (just exaggerating there), but it was dull and it felt crummy to play. Thing is, I know a better handheld game can be made because SM64DS entertained me for years. I have 149 stars and loved every (well, most) second of it. I'm not a huge RaC fan, but I really loved ToD for all the planetary exploration (I'm seeing a pattern here). I was enjoying CiT, but I have absolutely no enthusiasm in getting past Axiom City. The game's don't have strong shooting mechanics, but at least ToD and most of CiT's beginning made this bearable by allowing for fun combat scenarios without pushing combat on the player too much. Axiom City is just a straight up shooting-fest in dull, dark blue environments against the same enemies again and again. Yeck. As for All 4 One, I bought it for $4, and played it with a friend. It definitely felt low budget and I'm probably never going to play it again, but at least it had that great "tree bark burger" joke.[QUOTE="locopatho"] They shouldn't have rehashed the "blow up garbage" stars. That was lame. Apart from that they really did top it.

I can't actually remember them doing that in 2, did they? I think I beat those levels with my niece then since the second player can actually do something this time. Those levels were pretty bad in Galaxy 1 though.

They did. I hated them in Galaxy 1. Literally couldn't believe they brought them back. Rehashing/revisitng boss fights, fine! The worst stars in 1 tho? No perfect 10 from me cos of that :P

1 doesn't get a 10 from me because -Awful camera at times -Awful controls at times -Dreadnought Galaxy These are the only things I didn't like about the first Galaxy immediately after I collected my 120th star. The list grew slightly bigger after I played the second game. Also, not to say this in a rude way, but could you link me those levels in 2? I swear, I remember every level in the game except these ones. I think one of them involved Fire Mario right?

I don't understand.. you know Sony and SE is two different companies right?

I'm also not happy with SE but Sony has been working with developers for games like Demon's Souls and Ni no Kuni.... two titles I would take any day over the current Nintendo exclusive offerings.

Try telling me those games are all about cinematics :P

Pikmin 3 would be the number one reason to own the WiiU for me. It's the next installment in my favourite gaming franchise which has been absent for almost 9 years now.

I was already convinced to buy it at launch though because it's a Nintendo console and there hasn't been a single year yet where they were by far the best first party developer in the industry.

BF4, GTA5, MGS5.. Oh wait.. Nevermind.

Maybe a realistic action story driven game with superb gameplay that makes use of the tablet and with online/co-op/multiplayer game would make me switch on the Wii:U once in a while.

That's the funny part of opinions, we both have different ones. Demon's Souls I believe was Atlus, and Ni no Kuni was Studio Ghibli. God of War and Uncharted, on the other hand, definitely puts far too much emphasis on cinematics as opposed to gameplay. Granted it has some impressive set pieces, but somehow, it feels souless. Square Enix is facing a similar problem, especially with the recent FF games.

For me it was just because of the transit time, the hub world, and the Luigi play through being too much of the same.

I already got one, but I would have chose any of the above tbh. If I had to choose one though it would probably be the new Mario game.

More than anything though I just want to see a new strong IP from them. It would probably compel me the most since I know it will be interesting at least from first glance if it ever did happen.

I already have a Wii U, but the most exciting thing on the horizon as far as I'm concerned is definitely Project X, so I voted toward that in the poll. Honestly though, most of the poll options would compel me to buy/keep the Wii U.

Would take a multitude of games coming out. 

Pikmin, Wonderful 101, SSB, Zelda, X, and the other standard fare Nintendo titles coupled with a price drop would get me on board. I'll probably buy one once it has accumulated a library. Monster Hunter and NSMB are not system sellers for me.

Kotor III. After getting burned with the Wii, I am taking an indefinite hiatus from Ninty. It'll be the first home console I haven't purchased. Used to be the Zelda/Metroid/Mario combo would be enough, not anymore. Sticking with one console from here on out. PS and their PS4 will be my console going forward.

Uh...nothing, really. Or at least nothing that I can think of. I'd buy it if I felt I wanted to own and play one of them, the games it already has would probably do but I just don't feel like getting one right now or later down the road.

pikmin 3 is tempting me but what would actually drive me to buy one would be somewhere along the lines of another metroid prime, donkey kong 64 sequel, 2 or more new completely original IPs by nintendo, and most importantly: NINTENDOGS 2: THE REUTNR :D::DD:D:D::D:DD:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I don't know. I've grown tired of their huge sellers (or I'm just outgrowing Nintendo), but an amazing Metroid would help my interest immensely. So would a new Zelda IF they actually brought it into the next-gen and made it look like that tech demo. Not to mention throwing away its predictable formula and make it fresh and exciting. Wave race would be nice, as would a new Fzero that didn't involve wind-up toys. Of course, any new massive IPs are needed. But I think most of all, Nintendo needs to start viewing its audience as adults.
