What Nintendo franchises need to be on the Wii U for your purchase?

[QUOTE="KBFloYd"]

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]And it will most likely miss the Wii U.

nintendoboy16

your confusing most likely with less likely...4 systems to 1..

but starfox is on the 3ds...a port but its there...idk...the history shows it will most likely be there imo.

[QUOTE="KBFloYd"]

what about rehashed zelda?

Slashkice

Eh, maybe.

so you "might" get a wiiU this year? or are you getting the one or the 4.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Well, I'll put it in perspective: a single Mario Kart game sells more than the entire Metroid series put together.

Nintendo knows Metroid doesn't sell well. But at the same time, it needs Metroid around, because it exists to diversify its portfolio, and it fills a void in its forst party lineup that no other game fills.

Its anniversary being ignored is indicative of nothing in the end.charizard1605

Being said though, the fact that Metroid was fairly popular up until Other M while Nintendo still avoided that series 25th anniversary and just did eShop re-releases and cameos still sound worrisome, leading me to think it's likely missing another console. Thus, I stand by that part of the statement.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]I don't know, Char. Ninty has some pretty suspicious behavior around it. The fact that a generally lower selling series (Kirby) got it's anniversary and the generally higher (by a bit) selling series, save for that one game (Metroid) didn't is telling of something.

Metroid was never that popular Nintendo franchise outside of the US anyway.

It's mostly the American audience that is fond of the series while in Europe and Japan it's less popular and recognized.

But a new high-quality Metroid sidescroller or first-person adventure/shooter would be nice regardless.

[QUOTE="MirkoS77"]A new Metroid would pique my interest immensely. nintendoboy16

I'd actually be happy for one on the 3DS, or even a portable Super Metroid. 

I don't support underpowered consoles so nothing.silversix_

I want a Metroid. I know it isn't popular and I know they may not want to make one, but it would make me very happy.
Why isn't Metroid popular though? Controls were always awesome. The world is awesome. Being a nongeneric FPS is awesome.

I have a Wii U. But like many of you, I really want a Metroid game badly.

Nintendo doesn't have enough franchises I'm interested in for them to be enough to buy WiiU

open world pokemon game.

open world pokemon game.

TheShadowLord07

I tend not to get this one. What exactly would be gained from putting pokemon in 3D on a console in terms of gameplay? Do people want it to mimic the gameplay from the main series or do they want this to be an entirely new game?

Definitely Metroid, and something much improved to negate Other M. Also a new F Zero.

Another conduit, that game they touted as being xbox 360 level graphics on wii but turned out to be sub ps2 graphics.

A Xenoblade inspired Pokemon game wouldnt get you hyped?

Wind Waker HD.

It had Mario on Launch.

I would love to see a new Kid icarus game like Uprising on the Wii U. I imagine any sort of control issues would be taken care of, then they would just have to expand on what the 3dS game had, and keep the same endearing characters/dialogue and the game would be fantastic

Last I heard though Sakurai only had plans for one KI game, and then disbanded the team that made the game or something along those lines, so I guess I can't get my hopes up. Would still be awesome though.

Outside of that I would love to see a new Metroid. Whether it be more like Prime in exploration and puzzles, a side-scrolling game like the originals, or even abother actiony game like Other M, I would be satisfied. or to get a bit more obscure, another Star tropics would be pretty exciting.

I already own one but I am anxiously awaiting a new Metroid and a new Starfox!

[QUOTE="the9thinning"]Wow, people are actually answering. I thought this thread would get bombarded by trolls. I haven't been on GS in a while. Has the Ninty hate died down a bit? And to answer the question, nothing, since I already have one.charizard1605

That's a shame. :(

Nonsense. No one is bitter about Nintendo. Their direction is their own problem. We're talking about potential customers here, and when push comes to shove, people have very short memories when you offer them something they really want.

It's justified criticism. Nintendo are making stupid decisions time and time again and it's only blind fanboys who are still with them.

The Wii U hardware is current gen with a tablet controller. There is no such thing as a game that would make me want a Wii U. I already have a PS3 to cover current gen and it has a huge library of cheap games to pick from.AmazonTreeBoa

but a PS3 can never have a Metroid.

Then clearly the reason why you don't own a WiiU is because it doesn't Sony Exclusives.
