Posted June 21, 2009 Suggest a Nintendo franchise and developer to Reggie Fils-Aime, and he'll do the rest. Possibly. Speaking to Kotaku, Nintendo of America's head honcho Reggie Fils-Aime has asked gamers for their input. "In the same vein of Team Ninja working with Nintendo to re-imagine Metroid," he asked, "what other developer they'd like to see partner and collaborate with Nintendo? And on what franchise?" With Team Ninja working on Metroid: Other M, a title which seemingly has a new take on the series' gameplay, what other franchises would you like to see in a fresh light? Final Fantasy's Square-Enix team on the next Paper Mario? Burnout's Criterion taking on Mario Kart? Surely there can be no higher power on Earth than Reggie who could make these things happen... Well, what games do you want? Excite EVERYTHING by Criterion. Excitebike goes back to its semi realistic roots as Criterion brings out a new game in the Excite-series. Dirtbikes, trucks, snowboarders, jetskis, rallycars and other vehicles compete against each other over varried tracks. The variety of vehicles and the surroundings cause for spectacular situations and complete mayhem. Gumshoe by Namco Gumshoe is an old NES lightgun game where you play an ex-FBI agent whom is trying to save his daughter from a Mafia don. The Wii version will play a bit like Killer 7, where players can walk on rails, and by pressing a button stop his character. However the main character in this game will walk forward by default. The action scenes will be similar to Namco's Time Crisis games, with the exception of the view being behind your character. Cel shading, some sort of graphic novel drawing style, gritty realism? Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2009 Zelda: Square-Enix I have said before on these forums that I would love S-E to have a stab at a Zelda game especially if they put in the same time and money that they do when creating a main series Final Fantasy game. It would be nice for some epic cutscenes/FMV and voice acting in a Zelda game for a change. I want something that will bring some real emotion from me and with FFVIII, FFX, FF:Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts being able to do that then clearly S-E are the guys for me.

Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) ooh ohh ohh... Star Fox, F-Zero, WaveRace, 1080, Donkey Kong, Mario Golf developed by...... Nintendo! Lazy bastards, develop your own games! But seriously, if Nintendo are gonna balls around with their casual titles for the forseable future then yeah I'd rather they outsource these franchises, than us never see them on Wii! But not sure who I'd really trust with many of Nintendo's franchises after Namco took on StarFox, and Nintendo shoe-horned StarFox into Rare's dinosaur planet. Capcom supposedly do well with the portable Zelda's, but could they handle a full console version?... Edited June 21, 2009 by Retro_Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2009 F-Zero GX was made by Sega AV. So F-Zero WX by Sega AV team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2009 I really want a new Donkey Kong game. The first and last full 3D DK game was Donkey Kong 64 and whilst a lot of people claimed they didn't like it, it must be one of my favourite plat formers. I'm not sure who would develop it though as a Donkey Kong game in my eyes is only properly done by the amazing Rareware who are indeed, not that amazing anymore. But like Retro_Link said, what happened to Nintendo just making them anyway?! Oh yes, far too busy on New Super Mario Bros. Wii :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 21, 2009 Thing is, it's hard to know which teams would be good with Nintendo franchises. I'd go so far as to say that the reason people are excited about Metroid is not because Team Ninja are involved, but more because it looks great, Sakamoto's involved and it's a traditional, 3rd-person Metroid. That said... F-Zero GX was great, so Amusement Vision deserve the next one (perhaps tone down the Story Mode, eh? ) Flagship should be reformed to do all the 2D Zeldas. Four Swords Adventure really "got it", more than Phantom Hourglass, I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Kid Icarus by Bethesda. Zelda: Square-Enix I have said before on these forums that I would love S-E to have a stab at a Zelda game especially if they put in the same time and money that they do when creating a main series Final Fantasy game.

Wouldn't that kind of ruin Zelda. I mean, do you really want to control the entire game with one button and the analog stick. Plus they might screw up the story from what Miyamoto has in mind for the timeline. If Square are doing anything with Nintendo, it should be Mario RPG 2.

Posted June 22, 2009 square enix to try pokemon... I want someone else to give it a try That would either turn out really good, or really bad I would think. But a pokemon game taking place in the main pokemon universe with a different type of story would be welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2009 A Zelda by Team Ico or BioWare. Hell, a Zelda by UbiSoft next gen so they can get it looking as fine as Assassin's Creed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2009 Armor Project to do Zelda. (Although I would rather have Yuji Horii do a new IP, but it would be mad to see his work in a Zelda game) and R&D 1 on Pokemon. and Tri-Ace team up with monolith again to make Baten Kaitos 3 xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 22, 2009 Yes, because Zelda has the deepest attacking system going for it Better then what Nomura-Enix could pull off with it's button mashing to the next cutscene galore. And saying that Zelda series ain't as deep as what FF VIII, FF X and KH have is quite a laugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) A new F-Zero by Amusement Vision A new Star Fox by what's left of the Lylat Wars team A new Excite Truck by Monster Games but made ultra-crazy and with online A new Pikmin by Nintendo A 3D Pokémon game made by BioWare with the first 150 Pokémon and real-time combat A new Zelda by Nintendo (I disagree with the Squeenix bit - I don't like any of their games. Although that may change as they'll be publishing the next Hitman and Tomb Raider) Kid Icarus by Retro Studios A 2D Zelda (made by the Minish Cap guys) and Metroid (by the main Metroid team) on the DS Get Valve to make anything for the Wii Edit: For you Squeenix fans...what about Paper Zelda?

Posted June 22, 2009 Not to mention that Twilight Princess looks much better than the first Assassin's Creed, which was one bland building C&P'd a few thousand times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2009 Well obviously they wouldn't just skin Link into Assassin's Creed. Although that would be a big enough change from the usual Zelda guff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) I think the problem with Zelda is that most people want it to be very traditional so that there are throwbacks to the older games, but when this happens they complain it isn't original. I don't think it's possible to have both - although other factors could remain the same i.e Hyrule etc. Thinking about it Bethesda would do a great job on Zelda for stuff like castle town where people serve a purpose other than continually repeat 1 line. Plus they do make pretty epic games. Edited June 22, 2009 by dwarf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, and then about a year after it comes out they can release a GOTY edition including the patches that stop the game crashing every time you approach a quest slightly differently.

If Square Enix were to make a Zelda, they'd probably keep the traditional combat system, but make the graphics and cinematics awesome, plus they'd add LOADS of sidequests and extra equipment. Plus Miyamoto doesen't have a timeline. It got thought of afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 22, 2009 Do we really think Shigsy has any Zelda timeline in mind whatsoever...? I say get Square-Enix on the phone and see about making that Mushroom Kingdom Hearts a reality! AV did good with F-Zero GX as we all know, but if Reggie was to let the loose on the next installment, I'd want to make sure they sort out the music! Get the Stamper Bros. to make DKC4!!!!!!
