ITT: Underrated Nintendo games/series
I mean, come on, an amazing soundtrack, visuals that hold up to this day, and RICKY WINTERBORN. How is there not an HD sequel on WiiU?
>>319836654
Unfortunately for Nintendo, this game was 100x better
>>319836654
>How is there not an HD sequel on WiiU?
The Nintendo higher-ups basically killed NST because they hated gaijins.

>>319836654
>How is there not an HD sequel on WiiU?
Nintendo couldn't sell a sports/racing game without Mario in it so they just stopped trying
The N64 game was fantastic as well.
>>319836781
Good thing it was also on the Gamecube. It's also good since they both have different gameplay and achieve very different goals in design. Both games are fantastic, each in their own way.
>>319836781
Pic related is easily one of the best snowboarding games ever made.
>>319836654
>RICKY WINTERBORN
>not using ROB HAYWOOD
But Ricky is a close second, i'll allow it.
>>319838220
3rd one was hilarious
>>319838343
I only used Ricky because for some reason Rob had some super deep nigger voice.

Lets turn this into a snowboarding game thread.
>tfw i used to play the shit out of this
are there any other snowboarding "mmo" that are still alive?
>>319836654
Did you get the version with the bonus DVD that had the snowboarding documentary?
>>319839061
There are hardly any Snowboarding games at all that are alive.
>>319839787
well shoot, I think maybe the worlds due for a new one. snowboarding games are usually some of the most comfiest games.
Still itching for a new installment
>>319838350
Really? I've only played 1.
>>319839061
I played the shit out of Cool Boarders 2 as a kid. Definitely one of my favorites
Not better than undertale
>>319836654
>unlocking the rocket board
>>319836654
>Have their own Snowboarding series
>Mario appeared in a different Snowboarding series
>>319840750
Didn't Nintendo make a deal with EA BIG that Mario characters would be in each one of their games published on GameCube?
>>319841016
The only ones that did it were that and NBA Street.
>>319838220
Amped 2 was the shit with multiplayer.
1080 on 64 made me think that I'd actually be good a snowboarding.
>>319840750
Nintendo should do a new snowboarding game with their characters, shit would be fun as fuck with all the potential it could have.
Devil World
>>319836654
Custom Robo
Panel de Pon / Tetris Attack / Puzzle League
That series never really had a shot at surviving as a franchise when they changed its branding with each new release.
>>319843421
I miss that series
>>319844051
Intelligent Systems should take a break from all the Pushmo games it's shoving out annually to do a Panel de Pon game for Wii U eshop.
The past two for handheld were really low quality.
Disaster: Day of Crisis
a underrated gem for the wii, made by none other than Monolith soft, maybe not the best game by then but I liked it, didn't helped the game not selling well in other countrys so the Nintendo cancelled the North American release.
also honorable the Kyle Hyde games and Another Code series.
>>319844909
honorable mention* fuck just a little tired.
>>319836654
Soundtrack was GOAT for 13-year-old me.
>>319837328
Nintendo should go bankrupt
>>319836654
>How is there not an HD sequel on WiiU?
Because the Olympic games have snowboarding events.
And once Mario does something, there's no point in having competition.
>Even if a new Cubivore is made people would label it as a Minecraft clone

Many niche Nintendo games have so much potential
>>319844909
This didn't come out in NA right?
>>319845280
They just need to get their heads out of their asses. I swear this company is run by complete retards.
>>319845974
nope, Nintendo cancelled the NA release due to poor sales in other countrys, outside of Japan it was released only in Australy and Europe.
>>319846247
>Get excited when they say they want to broaden the recognition of their IPs
>Get pessimistic and assume it would just be Mario, Zelda, and Animal Crossing and nothing else
>>319836654
This and Wave race need to come back.
>>319846705
Miyamoto's forcing his Waifu Pikmin and ANimal Crossing is getting ALOT more attention than it used to. Besides that everything is the same.
>>319836654
>>319847340
>>319837328
>>319836654JUST GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE TO SAY THIS
>>319847498Pikmin and Animal Crossing are pretty good though
I want another sequel, and not a spin-off
>>319847498
>Samus in that image
Since when the hell has Nintendo treated that as one of their biggest franchises?
Is she just there to say "we're not strictly for kids, we have games aimed at teenagers too!"
>>319848086
To make the gaijin feel comfortable
Definitely an underrated series. And underrated genre
How can Nintendo revitalize niche IP for a modern audience?
>>319848525
those fucking tits dude
>>319848525
Totally agree, would love to see Pilotwings on the Wii U.
>>319848773
>>319848525
How was the 3DS game?
>>319848525
I always liked those designs.
They remind me of old stop motion cartoons
>>319848525
I'd kill to get a game with this level of comfy and no fucking Miis on a new system.
>>319848840
considering how hard pilotwings was pushed in Smash 4, I'm kind of surprised there's not one coming.
I'd really love a new one, where they make original characters again, rather than miis.
Or use 64/SNES characters
>>319849045
Pretty decent for early 3D models really.
>>319848959
It's solid.
It's not as fun for exploration, if only because it doesn't have that allure of being an early 3d game.
Having to use miis is a negative for a lot of people.but a 64 character does return.
>>319849119
How about SNES characters in the 64 style to coincide with the already existing 64 characters?
Just started playing this one after being in my backlog for ages. I had heard it was good, and it didnt disappoint. Gameplay feels very Zelda-ish, Story is very Shadow of the Colossus and setting is very Y's Origin.
Sauce is Pandora's Tower
>>319849262
I'd be down.
It would kind of work since the SNES characters instructors while the 64 characters are pilots in training.
>>319849421
YES i love this game. still have to beat the final dungeon. great boss fights, epic choir soundtrack, good waifu sim, what more could you want?
>>319849491Goose would make for a better mascot than Lark
>>319849624
anyone else think Lark looks like that Nintendo Power guy. Dont know his name.
>>319849624
Was there anyone who didn't play as Goose?
Anyone else play Geist?

Oh well, atleast WiiU still can play wii games

>tfw the age of comfy snowboarding games is gone.
Atleast this song still exists. shit was great.
where's the sequel, Tanabe?
>>319850175
>What is confirmed: Tanabe and Retro have been working together on a Genyo Takeda game. They also hired the environmental artists for Uncharted and Darksiders, officially as part of the team
>Guess work: What is left is star tropics (nes), Sheriff (arcade), and a gradius clone called fire bird (arcade) with a jump button. Take a good guess which game is it. I'll let you think about it yourself, no need to reply for me.

>Sequel never ever
Feels bad. Game was really fucking fun
>>319850175
>>319850252
I'm mixed about this guy.
Wasn't he the one who said Zip Lash wasn't 3D because that would be too confusing for kids?
>>319850364
I don't know.
I have no clue if Tanabe had anything to due with Chibi-Robo.
>>319849741
Fucking great game. I remember picking this up for pocket change when Gameslop was getting rid of all their GC games. The controls are kinda wonky at first but it's a really solid and unique FPS that is completely forgotten nowadays. I would kill for a sequel or even an HD remake.
>>319839061

Won't be anything like it ever again. Developer folded after the game launched and the US producer wasn't too far behind.
>>319849741
>This guy's story is that he and 2 other Ghosts died while hoisting a huge statue onto Volk's Mother's stair case. You, as Raimi would have to get rid of them and not be pulled into talks of Labor unions and how the coffee is never good anymore. They would then assemble as a team and attack you astrally, or attack your host. The team (an end boss) was to be the very same sculpture that killed them. I got pulled off the team around that time, and went to work on KUMAWars. Some of my Idea made it into the game, but I was really new to n-space at the time, so I'm honored that it may have gotten into the final game, albiet Subliminally.

>killing people with dishes and towels in multiplayer
Anyone played Sin and Punishment?
>>319850890
I played it briefly on wii VC.
I pick it back up.
Never played the sequel
>>319850947
>I pick it back up.
*I should pick it back up
all those series falling on the obscurity, seriously nintendo should do somehting about then instead of focusing on so much shit now, some of these actually have potential if they play their cards right.
>>319850890
fucking loved both games, would love to see a new game in a future
>>319851078
Any ideas that would guarantee a high chance of success?
Almost any Nintendo franchise that hasn't been in Smash is bound to be heavily obscure regardless of quality.
>>319841528
How about a Nintendo character snowboard game with Snowboard Kids gameplay?
>>319841528
If so then they should keep Ricky Winterborn
>>319843421
Apparently anime grils aren't appropriate enough for western audiences so they have to keep changing it to Yoshi/Pokemon/generic, but Nintendo Puzzle Collection was intended to be localized and if so I doubt they would've given PDP 2 the same treatment.
>>319851354
>dropping a pan on someone right before they cross the finish line
>knocking someone off course so they miss the lift and have to spend a good ten seconds spinning around to get to it
This is the game that turned me into a sadist.
We'll never get a sequel...
>>319851431
nah
>Had a blast with 1080 on the n64 as a kid
>Gamecube comes out, hyped for the new 1080 to come out
>Somehow forget about it, play other games instead and discover SSX Tricky one day
>Immediatly hooked, spent hours and hours on it, still playing it to this day along with SSX 3.
>Remember about 1080 on gamecube
>Decide to try it out on Dolphin, thinking I missed something great
"oh god"
>The controls
>The tracks
>The music

All these games were highly rated
>this is a canadian according to japan
>>319851563
the fuck? 1080 avalanche was great unless you were just really shit then i don't know what to tell you
>>319851657
>while this is a American according to Japan
>>319851626
Thing is, no one talks about them or acknowledges them.
Even most Nintendo fans have never heard of them
>>319851657
>>319851738
NST is American.
>>319851797
oh.
>>319851563
Yeah Avalanch was handled by a different team, same with Wave Race.
They kept the characters though so at least they cared.
>>319851709
I don't think I was bad at it, I played for like 2h but had absolutely no fun with it.
Only thing I liked is that the tracks had more "life" to them compared to SSX tracks (wild animals, people skiing here and there).
>>319851797
>NST has been reduced to nothing but Mario vs Donkey Kong
>They are all rehashes with barely anything done to change the formula or even visuals
>The games have no soul whatsoever, little changes are present
>>319851749
Modern gamers
>>319836654
>1980 Avalanche
I don't get it, was there a famous avalanche in 1980? Google turns up nothing
>1080 Thread
You guys are alright.
Alternate outfit Winterborn is God tier.
>>319852073
Holy shit, you weren't kidding.
Well, most of the devs did leave after Project HAMMER went under.
>>319851749
Yeah, in fact everytime I mention a niche Nintendo game like Chibi Robo or Custom Robo they say shit like "that series its fucking garbage lel" so after that I assumed that every Nintendofag are underages or autists which only cares about defend Wii U no matter what
Wars is probably the most respected Nintendo niche series here thanks to those VS threads
>>319849941
Very fun game. Absolutely GOAT music, too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLp1qbqWBTY
>>319852418
Shit like this makes me wonder "If franchises like F-Zero and Pikmin never got a character in Smash, than would they appear in these kind of threads?"
>>319852396
Crosswords Plus is fucking never-ending. I have some gripes about it but I have to respect it
>>319852375
Forgotten nintendo games?
>>319852643
F-Zero: Definitely.
But Miyamoto fucking loves Pikmin, so I don't think anything would change there.
>>319851749
>Starfy
>Custom Robo
>Chibi Robo
>Golden Sun
Nintendo seems to outright try to kill these at every opportunity. I know Dark Dawn sucked but still.
>>319852879
They just don't put enough effort into them seeing them as not financially worth the risk.
Kid Icarus Uprising was made by Fucking Sakurai, Pit was known in Smash, and demand for a new Kid Icarus increased afterwards
>Japan loves Wrestling
>US loves Wrestling
>We live in an age where Pro Wrestling is synonymous with memes
New installment when?Even if it did happen it would just be Mii's and Mario characters
>>319852643
Pikmin? No. Pikmin got popular independent of smash bros and pikmin threads here on /v/ can usually be pretty active.
F-zero? Probably not. Even despite the fact that the SNES Launch Title was incredibly popular and the series in general is god tier, F-zero threads on /v/ are dead as fuck. It's pretty much relegated to being know as the game Captain Falcon came from.
>>319851550
That's Square Enix
>>319852418
Is that an official figure
>>319852879
Sadly Custom Robo its pretty much dead since the creator retired after Arena (He have a twitter and sometimes he talks about CR)
>>319853690
Yes anon. Bandai released like 3 sets of figures based in CR
>>319852330
Look again. It says 1988. Google it now
>>319853996
Anon, I would like to thank you for bring this to my attention
>>319851918
>tfw they didnt bring back Kensuke Kimachi
You just dont forget the character on the fucking cover
>>319848525
That was my first N64 game. Hawk's scream when he crashed was fucking hilarious.
