Fused King Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Mario...but BACKWARDS! Move him right to left! Turn the entire genre on its head!! Hehe, , smooth, reaaal smooth, but it got me thinking: How does one re-invent the platform genre and still be able to put it in said category? It is a question I really hope Miyamoto and pals are pondering, for 't is NINTENDO who, among other things, pioneered this genre, and Miyamoto was there (and still is) to watch it all go down. A good starting point could be fusing all sorts of platformer heroes into 1 platformer and see what happens when visions, ideas, gameplay mechanics, and visuals merge. Or....... maybe that already happened: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Mario...but BACKWARDS! Move him right to left! Turn the entire genre on its head!! That would actually fuck with my mind. I like the direction Nintendo are taking with Skyward Sword. Seems like a natural progression for the series. They should have done something similar with Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, as I particularly liked the upgrading system that they used for the Razor Sword in Majora's Mask. It's something that they should do more often in their games, as it gives more emphasis to try out the sidequests and it's just great for variation.

Hamishmash Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 3 brand new Nintendo franchises. Something like Wii Sports... something that really shows off the hardware and is accessible. Then something middling... a kids/family adventure game. And then a hardcore action game for older players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
