>If a Nintendo Franchise isn't on this picture it likely won't get another game for 5-10 more years
How does this make you feel?
I'm already used to it
There's no point in getting angry if it's not going to any good
If it does calm you down or vent your frustrations good for you
>>336140853
>F-Zero is truly dead.
For fuck sake.
>>336140853
Why is Samus on there then?
I'm fine, gave up hope on Nintendo since the Wii U. I don't know how they'll make it past the NX.
Why does Nintendo keep forcing that ugly pink gopher?
>>336141186
It's to make gaijin feel secure
>>336140853
>pokemon is dead
JUST
I'm pretty sure that Fire Emblem will get a new game in the next couple of years, as will Pokémon.
>>336141218
Lottie a cute!
>>336140853
>Samus
Don't Metroid games sell decently every where but Japan?
>>336140853
>implying they'll kill FE at it's peak popularity.
>>336140853
Jokes on you they are going to milk the shit out of FE now.This is hell and I wish FE really was fucking dead. Fuck the path it went down.
We're never getting a Little Mac MMA game, are we?
There aren't any Pokemon on that picture so that theory is already wrong.
>>336140853
>Pikmin are always front and center on Nintendo merch and promos
>Olimar never is
>>336141572
Well the Pikmin are the constant.
>>336141186
Fed Force is why. Still a Metroid game.
>>336141405
Nintendo should combine Punch Out, Pro Wrestling and Urban Champion into a traditional fighting game IP like Street Fighter.
>>336141572
Is the game called Olimar?
>no Kid Icarus
please acknowledge we exist again
>>336141748
>traditional fighting game IP
no fuck off
>>336141804
>Nintendo delivers KI:U which is hands down one of if not the best 3DS game

Hate the player, not the game, if sexless weeabeards hadn't spent mommy's money on Awakening it would have died forever and Smash wouldn't be littered with anime characters
Weebs truly ruin everything, they're no better than furries

Smashbabby detected
>>336141285
Pokemon has really become its own thing at this point
>>336141639
>>336141795
Olimar is a main character in every Pikmin game though
And he's the protagonist of the best ones.
>>336140853
Darn, I like Pokemon.
>>336140853
Nintendo recently added Fire Emblem to their list of main IPs so they'll add Marth to this image at some point.
>>336142137
this looks like an eshop game
>>336142301
Shut the fuck up retard
>>336142269
ALL fighting games are shit.
>>336142440
Based on what?
The only thing that termines if a game is eShop (or DD/Cheap) is the content in the game, which can never be shown in a trailer.
>>336141572
Olimar is ugly as fuck whereas the pikmin have mascot appeal
>Fox McCloud is on there
Good. Here's hoping the backlash for Zero doesn't make me wait another 10 years for a sequel. Zero is hella fun to play, and if it gets the Tropical Freeze treatment, I'll be the happiest anon alive.
>>336142479
No, fuck you
>>336142536
>Olimar is ugly as fuck
No more ugly than Mario.
>>336142530
budget presentation values, artstyle, the generic stock sound effects and spess orchestra soundtrack
What Nintendo needs to make is another fucking Punch Out game, and fast. And make it longer than 2 hours to beat
>Wario Land Shake It! is the last ever Wario Land game.
>There will never be another.
Life is suffering.
>your favorite series had a proper ending
>don't ever have to worry about becoming mobile shit, not that nintendo would ever choose it
Good to see it acknowledged every once in awhile.
>>336141997
Seems to me Sakurai is kinda the only guy who cares about the IP.
The fact that Nintendo never bothered to make an installment for like 20 years until Sakurai stepped up to the plate kinda shows that. Ever since Sakurai said he didn't want to do a sequel and the game's promotional period ended Nintendo just kinda forgot all about it. In most of their ads for the 3DS they jack off about 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Animal Crossing, etc and yet I never see them mention Uprising. They don't even print new copies of it anymore. Never bothered to make 3DS badges or themes based on it either.
Replace Star Fox with Lucina and its 100% accurate
>>336141186
Because EPD may be making a 2D Metroid with Samus as the star.
>>336142931
>>336142024
>>336141997
Feels great, you shotacons are absolute cancer.
>>336142931
uprising was going to be a star fox game before sakurai realized that he could use kid icarus after brawl
>>336142301
Not in Pikmin 3
>>336142440
It was going to be on DSi
>>336140853
Yeah right, Fire Emblem isn't on there and Nintendo declared it a "major IP" not too long ago.
>>336143326
Did you even play Pikmin 3? He was absolutely a main character.
>>336142850
ended on a high note
>>336141572
Considering Olimar wasn't even playable in the main story of the latest game in the series, it makes sense.
>>336142137
Her shoulder balls are just floating above her shoulders. They didn't even bother to make it look like they are part of her armor.
>>336143296
No, he realized Kid Icarus fits the gameplay mechanics better.
I'd like another KI, but Iwata is dead so it's probably not going to happen.
That and casuals hated the controls.
RIP Kid Icarus, Wonderful 101, and Star Fox
Modern gamers couldn't handle you
>>336143296
Not really. The development of Kid Icarus Uprising basically started out as Iwata going up to Sakurai and asking for a brand new original game from him (Brawl just came out) for the upcoming 3DS. Sakurai came up with the idea for a game that switched between air and grounded levels and Iwata said he could use any old Nintendo IP for it. Star Fox was one of the considerations but ultimately Sakurai went with Kid Icarus as he felt it fit the game better.
The game was never a SF game early on, it was just a blank slate and SF was one suggestion they didn't go with.
Fire Emblem says hi.
>>336140853
>F-Zero is dead
>but Animal Crossing isn't
I FUCKING HATE JAPAN
>>336141572
Olimar's ass was dragged to Earth three times now, forcefully too. Give his ass a break.
>>336140853
>>336143737
F-Zero GX was too perfect
they'd love to make another one, but they don't know what to do next
>>336144183
When the fuck did Ninty adopt this "No normal sequels allowed" bullshit?
>>336144458
It's just Miyamoto, and only sometimes (see Pikmin 3 which is a very natural progression from 2).
>>336144183
I think that is a commendable attitude. Instead of releasing a clearly inferior sequel, they're (I hope) trying to figure out what to even do.
I understand the pain of passionate F-Zero fans. However, you guys know deep down inside that a game like GX cannot be surpassed with the mentality of modern gaming trends.
Just cherish GX, lads
>>336144961
Aren't Toshihiro Nagoshi and the team that used to be AV and that worked on GX endlessly stuck on Mario & Sonic now? They could still get them to work on another one.
>No Fire Emblem
They said at the investors meeting it's now one of their top franchises worldwide. Hence Fates, #FE and FE Mobile.
>>336145184
This image is from a few months ago I think. It's the one where we first saw the new TP Link render used to tease TPHD before it got officially announced.
>>336142430
>implying it won't be lucina
>>336144581
Honestly, Pikmin 3 felt like more of a progression to Pikmin 1
>>336145184
>Awakening was do or die for the series, could have been the final game right there and then
>hit the ball so far out of the park that it's now considered a major IP
This could happen to your favourite franchise as well. Anything can happen, so just keep believing boys.
>>336145342
Well, it took cues from both, but the biggest mechanic is the three-captain gameplay which maintained the progression from two that Pikmin 2 had (and which was in turn a progression from the one in Pikmin 1).
>>336145605
>Chibi-Robo had one shot and blew it
>Star Fox had one shot and probably blew it
>>336145184
None of the mainstay FE cast has enough charisma or charm to appear in such promotional art.
>>336145605
I'd rather it be the last then it go the same route Castlevania did. Fuck you and fuck modern FE
>>336145605
>FE 15 is already in development
>Just less than 5 years ago it was on it's deathbed
oh how the tables turn
>>336145852
Lucina. Regardless of what you think, she's extremely popular and pretty much the new face of the franchise.
>>336140853
No FE, we already know something is in the pipeline.
>>336145898
You're an idiot. As of now Fire Emblem is a lot better for the right reasons(Gameplay) than the stagnant wheelspin it was in for the longest time.
The fact it's more successful now is probably the most well deserved improvement in sales for any franchise.
>>336143454
the picture was before that announcement though
>>336140853
>No FE
>No Pokemon
>No Xenoblade character
Those three will get more games, I promise you.
>>336140853
As long as DKC, Xenoblade, and Pokemon still get pumped out every now and then, I will be fine.
>>336146497
Despite what people may feel, Wii Fit is a fucking huge franchise as well. We'll see some kind of evolution of it on NX, for sure.
>>336140853
I gave up on video games and Nintendo. I just come here to shit post with image reactions; so in terms of how I feel it's pretty liberating. I finally don't give a fuck. Feels good
I'm just glad Donkey Kong is back in the fold. The wait was worth it.
I do however think we'll get an F-Zero, at the least Captain Falcon will make an appearance in a racing game. I think Mario Kart gave us a glimpse that F-Zero may still have something left.
>>336140853
Happy that Kirby is getting recognition. Great series that people overlook.
>>336140853
Fine because I wont be getting hyped at all for the next one if it ever does come. This one was so fucking shitty I couldn't contain my anger.
Add insult to injury they gutted the Console version that also happened to be on the worst platform they have ever produced .
>>336146903
It's probably since it's the safest series Nintendo has that never tries to push anything too different in favor of sticking to what it knows works.
Ironically, that's exactly what makes it the best Nintendo has right now.
>>336146735
I think Mario Kart 8 on 200cc is as close as we'll get to F-Zero.
>>336146903
Kirby was never good
>>336146735
I feel like DK's gonna go back into limbo now that Retro is supposedly working on a new IP.
That already happened to the series. When Rare left to join Microsoft, Nintendo didn't know what to do with it so they just threw it around to random studios like Paon or Namco creating weird spinoffs like the Bongo games and King of Swing/Jungle Climber. It wasn't until the series was given to Retro Studios where we finally got a proper Country game.
>>336142631
What's the Tropical Freeze treatment?
Latest sales data for y'all
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/sales/software/index.html
Mario Kart is currently Nintendo's best selling franchise, having been consistant for the last 2 gens.
I'm fairly sure we'll get Mario Kart 9 in NX's launch window.
>>336146497
>No FE
Well, naturally. That's been bumped up to at least B-list major franchise, if not A-list by virtue of the fact that Nintendo's biggest guns pretty much need their own tier above A-list. Plus they already announced a mobile spinoff.
>No Pokemon
Licensing nightmare. Does well for Nintendo, but I figure it's easier to just do promotions for their in-house franchises.
>No Xenoblade character
It's more of a thematic franchise unless you just want to stick Shulk as the face forever. And Monolith is working on something else but they do plan to eventually go back to Xenoblade.
>>336145184
>it's now one of their top franchises worldwide
It's only sold like 8 mil over 20+ games. and all spinoffs involving it flop hilariously (Xzone, #FE, ect)
>>336147390
I really hope not. That would be such bullshit
>>336147492
Pretty sure The Pokemon Company would do their own thing if Nintendo didn't have an invested interest to get 3DS games made.
Have you seen how many mobile and other shit games they've released this year?
>>336147434
I wish there was a way to see the games after Windwaker.
>>336146435
>Spot the waifufaggot
Kill yourself autist, I didn't care about weebshit emblem before Awakening but at least it wasn't a glorified dating sim.
>>336146021
Waifu material =/= Charm and Charisma
Most of the characters in that promo are over ten years old and still loved to this day.
>>336147390
This is bad for DK good for Metroid. It's time for Metroid to go back to EPD haven't got a 2D Metroid from Nintendo in-house in years.
>>336145852
Marth
>>336148349
Roll with Marth then. He's been around 26 years and Japan seems to love him, which is all that matters to Nintendo.
>>336147428
Making a sequel that fixes the complaints most people had about the first game while keeping everything that was good about it.
>>336148436
Problem is, for better or worse, Yoshio Sakamoto is kinda the main driving force behind the in-house developed Metroid games and he's mentioned he's not very interested in making another one. I think the team that made Fusion and Zero Mission disbanded awhile ago, too.
No one at the company seems to be interested in making a proper game, unfortunately.
>Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, even goddamn Toad is up there
>No Wario in sight
>>336147678
Just look at Prime. Three good games while Retro was on it, now they're off, and we're getting a weird handheld spinoff. I could easily see the same happening to DK unless some other studio steps up to claim it.
I'm conflicted. I want to see Retro move on since they're clearly talented and can accomplish a lot, and it's probably best that they not get shackled down and unable to spread their wings. At the same time, I want my Metroid and my Donkey Kong.
>>336147741
TPC is owned by Nintendo, Crestures inc, and GameFreak. Nintendo only owns part of the Pokemon brand, but it's not actually a Nintendo IP and they have no real saying in what or how the games are made.
>>336148697
And now I get why Miyamoto and Kimishima were touting new blood and successors for the past few years.
>>336148802
At least finish off DKC to make it a trilogy. Then it can go dormant for 15 years again
>>336148802
I'd like to see an original Retro IP. Metroid and DK were so full of great ideas but they were a bit tied down to their history.
>>336146497
These are all strictly Nintendo-developed games in the OP.
Literally no one fucking cares anymore. Nintendo is shit and every new game is shit nowdays.
I rather enjoy old classics like F-Zero Climax or Mother 3 than see them fall like Metroid, DK and Fire Emblem. Yeah you read me, DK Returns was shit and you know it.
>>336148626
>while keeping everything that was good about it.
So, not much then? No wonder it's called Star Fox Zero.
>>336148802
Monster Games made DKCR3D and co-developed TF, so they could easily have the franchise handed off to them and be somewhat safe we'd get something similar quality-wise.
I'd like Retro to go off and make their own new IP and not be stuck in License Hell like Next Level Games are.
>>336148802
I kinda like the idea of Playtonic taking the helm. Most of their team consists of many of the veteran Rare employees who worked on the original two DKC games, so in a way it'd come full circle. But it'd be best to wait to see how Yooka Laylee turns out before considering it.
>>336148697
I'd like to see them give the next 2D Metroid entry to Good-Feel. They've done a spectacular job restoring the Yoshi platformer series to its former glory, and they did alright with Wario Land Shake-It too. I think Good-Feel is probably the best 2D platformer developer Nintendo has at the moment, they're probably the best bet at bringing Metroid back to its former glory.
>>336140853
I'm so sick of seeing those little squid shits. Bottom of the barrel character design
the worst thing is that Nintendrones love it, a sequel or port is all but confirmed. Just goes to show how far Nintendo has fallen
>>336149586
It's best left in the hands of Retro. They make excellent 2D games, and they're certainly more cut out to make a Metroid game.
>>336141804
>there will never be an open world kid icarus game
>>336149652
It's loved because the gameplay is good and it's the most modern game Nintendo has produced thanks to the young staff behind it. It's a breath of fresh air compared to the tried-and-trusted style the old established fucks like Miyamoto roll with.
>>336143460
>>336142639
Look, I found a super retard. What do I win?
>>336149441
I don't think Playtonic need Nintendo. Old Rare always seemed to chafe under Nintendo's leash.
>>336143460
No response because you're right. kek
>>336140853
I wonder if the next version of this image will feature Fire Emblem.
>>336142137
She looks sort of cute
>>336146634
There's no way they'd be foolish enough to attempt to chase after that market again
Glad Pikmin made the cut.
Sad Wario didn't, but at least DK did.
Otherwise, not a bad lineup. If we actually got serious focus on them, like how Metroid did during GCN/GBA era, that'd be crazy.
>>336149298
Nice meme, here's 2 (you)s
>>336142269
Or he could just be a fan of punch out. Like I like fighting games but I like punch out as well.
Welcome aboard!
You are the new CEO of Nintendo.
What are our plans for the future?
>>336140853
>he buys nintendo games other than mario or zelda
>he implied that he would love to see nintendo put ressources in 'other game'
>>336150409
Lets make a game based entirely on what the fans what and see how that goes.
>>336150301
can you please not jinx things, anon?
>>336140853
I don't have a sad Wario image, so have an angry one instead.
>>336145801
>really liked zero, only hated how short it was
>mad butt hurt it's getting slammed so hard by critics and will give nintendo the wrong idea effectively killing SF for good.
>>336150301
You forget they were making a whole console devoted to Quality of Life.
Now that Iwata is gone it seems they're focusing NX more on games.
>>336148626
DKCR had helluva alot better reception than SF Zero. Ironically it even has a higher metacritic score than Tropical Freeze.
>>336150409
Drop home consoles, move all resources to handheld.
Make an episodic Wario point & click adventure game.
Pokemon game every year.
>>336148802
I hate that Metroid Prime caught on so much that the series probably can't escape it. It's such a fucking disjoint from the 2D games with how plodding and slow the movement and platforming is. She's barely more mobile than Robocop.
>>336150778
>You forget they were making a whole console devoted to Quality of Life.
I think at this point everyone forgot that, actually
We've spent so long waiting for them to release their first mobile app and speak up about the NX that their QoL stuff hasn't even been on the radar
>>336140853
Seeing Mario and Luigi next to the Inkling girl makes me wonder how they would look if they were depicted as wearing real plumbing clothes.
And no I don't mean a 1:1 copy of actual plumbing uniforms. They could still wear the classic buttoned on overalls and M/L hats. But I mean fuck, their shoes have neither laces nor velcro/whatever. And their clothes and pants don't have any texture so you can't even tell they're wearing jeans and you only recognize them as jeans through association.
I mean. Simplicity is fine. You can make Mario with just a few pixels just fine, or blocky with just a few polygons.
It just looks kind of odd next to the Inkling girl What with her comparably highly detailed shoes. and everything.
>>336151127
They had a really exaggerated denim effect on their clothes in Brawl.
>>336150708
>>336151350
True enough. Smash actually answers my question.
>>336151127
Brawl is the closest to "realistic" Nintendo characters will be.
Kind of ironic that Smash HD went for the more cartoony look that is closer to their normal style.
>>336151127
It's a nice idea, but it would be like adding stuff to Mickey Mouse at this point. They're too iconic as basic.
>>336140853
>no F-Zero
Welp
>>336151127
They wear boot so if there are laces or buckles they'd be underneath the pants.
>>336148697
True, but his team is bigger now due to EAD and SPD merge, I can see one being made due the teams being one. Members of each teams can join in another if one team runs out of man power.
>>336147295
Wrong, Kirby was always good
>>336150978
This.
Metroid Prime is fucking great, but it's sort of eclipsed the main games in terms of mainstream appeal. The worst part is that they've more or less done all they probably could with the Prime series, barring any radical changes to the gameplay.
>>336151506
>>336151536
Brawl is a really ugly looking game in hindsight.
I know it was on the Wii but a mascot fighting game shouldn't look so desaturated and grimy. It's like they let Zack Synder direct the game. I can't even imagine what characters like Duck Hunt, Pac-Man, WFT, etc would of looked like if they were in Brawl.
>>336140853
what a hilariously stupid thing to say when Pokemon and Fire Emblem aren't on that image
>>336151848
>The worst part is that they've more or less done all they probably could with the Prime series,
Tanabe (in an attempt at blatant damage control) mentioned that he has some ideas on how he'd continue the Prime series after 3.
>>336140853
>If a Nintendo Franchise isn't on this picture it likely won't get another game for 5-10 more years
Why? It's more like the characters in that picture will likely have a new game within 1-2 years or recently had a new game (Star Fox). That picture has nothing to do with the next 10 years you fucking mong.
>>336140853
does this mean will get a Spla2oon?
>>336151943
It looked desaturated and grimy to let Snake fit in more.
What the fuck is Splatoon doing there?
>>336151848
I'm surprised we didn't see a Prime on Wii U. They could have had gimmicky gyro scanning and prettier graphics.
>>336141018
It hurts anon it hurts
>>336145801
>No original like Chibi Robo never ever
>>336152092
Within the launch window I'd say.
>>336151945
Those are both 2nd party games, if you want an excuse.
>>336141018
To be fair. I don't expect anything Metroid for a long time either and Samus still made the picture thanks to this shit >>336142137
>>336145801
>Star Fox had one shot and probably blew it
I have no doubt that Zero is performing better than Pikmin 3 (another Miyamoto darling we already know is getting a sequel), it sold through 30% of its shipment in Japan.
>>336152105
You mean that fantastic game that sold extremely well?
>>336152105
Its their most successful new IP in years, its getting Amiibos a year later, shitloads of merch and promotion in Japan...
Yeah, we're gonna be seeing Splatoon stuff for years.
>>336145801
Chibi-Robo is weird in that, and I'll prefix this by saying that the original is one of my favorite 6th gen games, it never really had any big acclaim or sales, and yet Nintendo still trots out games for it, none of which are like each other.
>>336152098
Was that ever confirmed?
It seems to me that Brawl's artstyle was done as an evolution of Melee's, which, admittedly, started the pseudo-realistic designs. But atleast Melee still had color to it.
>>336144961
A hd remake (not a half-assed one) would be enough.
>>336149586
>>336149802
This can't happen, 2D Metroid is out of Tanabe's jurisdiction and Sakamoto isn't going to travel cross country to see what is going on with a 2D Metroid games development. 2D Metroid can't be made unless it's developed by EPD or an outsourced Japanese company. Tanabe said multiple times that he doesn't work on 2D Metroid, so why does everyone assume Retro or anyone in their mom's pajamas can make one? Tanabe is in charge of Prime, no one can make one without his approval. Sakamoto is in charge of 2D Metroid no can make one without his approval.
>>336145801
Star Fox is supposedly doing well in the states. At least according to Amazon.
>>336146053
A mobile game.
>>336152296
Kirby is too, and he's up there.
>>336152461
Not releasing the NPC Wii version of Chibi-Robo outside of Japan was such a mistake.
The game was both already made for them and already translated.
>>336150727
>it's getting slammed so hard by critics
Why is that really? Do people nowadays really not care about scores and medals at all?
Star Fox Zero is pretty damn good. Play Arcade and get a perfect score. I dare you.
>>336152504
Nah. I think they just went realistic to try and show an "upgrade" over Melee, despite the GC and Wii having roughly the same processing power.
And then in Sm4sh they kind of turned things around and used the extra power to make really true-to-original models.
>>336151710
Anon, Tomodachi life sold more than expected. Now there's Miitomo, you can be sure his next game will fall in line with these. He is not the Metroid go to guy anymore, I'd be fine with that after his last game but the problem is there is no successor in sight.
>>336140853
>no fire emblem
>>336152724
What they made a 2D Metroid Prime
>>336152913
Tomodachi Collection was already fucking huge. No shit its sequel was gonna be big. The only surprising thing is how well it caught on in the west.
>>336149652
You have no taste, anon. They got popular initially for the design. It's cute and clever. The in game model is not that great, but there's nothing wrong with the base design.
>>336140853
>No Wario
Well...
If they don't announce a new Wario game this e3, Nintendo will die to me.

I always felt that was the problem with the way Nintendo handled Metroid. To them, there's basically two different Metroid series: the (mostly) 2D "mainline" games developed by R&D1 and/or Sakamoto and the 3D "spinoff/side story" Prime games made by Retro Studios/NST/Next Level Games.
It's a factor into why in Smash Bros., Samus's powersuit design is always based on Super Metroid/Zero Mission/Other M instead of the Prime games.

Technology fucked it up too, man. The regular people have some unfortunate expectations from AAA titles. Mario is a juggernaut so he can do whatever but most games have to transition. A revival Metroid as it was gets harder and harder every day. DS successor will be potent enough to go full prime with it. I don't see Nintendo going 2D or 2.5D anymore with it and a new traditional game is what I ever wanted from this series.
>Mario
>Kirby
I'm alright.

At least Brawl had a Prime stage to kind of acknowledge it exists.
>>336152913
Not what Tanabe said, what part of EAD and SPD are one and the same now do you not understand? It doesn't matter if Tomadachi Collection's team doesn't make a Metroid game some members who worked on Metroid will work with other individuals within EPD to make one. Also there will not be a successor to Sakamoto because he is still Metroid's go to guy, deal with it.

And nothing of importance was lost

Nintendo needs to capitalize on it hard. Make a anime, idol spin off. Japan fucking loves it. It's their biggest new IP. It's what is keeping them relevant with the new generations.

nah, SFZ could've been amazing if they had just put more time into it. It just needed more branching paths with more differences between each path, and a fucking alternate Venom and alternate Andross fight. The actual mechanics and the base gameplay are totally fine.
I'm hoping that the next game will be a sequel that continues where the reboot left off, and isn't a rushed mess like Zero.
>>336153782
Tanabe has taken a liking to Metroid though.
>>336153391
This is true Nintendo treats Metroid as two different series. Metroid and Metroid Prime I never understand the reasoning to this but it may have something to due with different genres. MS seems to be doing it with Halo and Halo Wars as well.
>>336153958
Again two Producers, he likes Metroid because he's been the Producer of the Prime series since 2002. Just because Tanabe is making games doesn't mean Sakamoto will never return to them.
>>336153825
My hopes, you fucking feg
>>336153782
But he doesn't give a fuck about it anymore. Too afraid to take the blame again. Sakamoto will keep on doing these whimsical interactive games instead. The wish to make a new one will have to come from a different place, the problem is that place doesn't exist considering their current staff. They will need new blood or a external collab.
>>336153782
We shouldn't have to deal with it. If this were a smarter company they'd have already been vetting a replacement for him.
Who at Nintendo thinks it's a good idea to have this guy in charge of this series when his last two games underperformed, his last game was an unprecedented trainwreck, he hardly makes anything in general, and he doesn't even show any interest in working on the series?
>>336154075
As much as I would like a new Sidescroller Metroid game, given the choice I would choose Prime over Super.
Honestly I would love it if Nintendo invested in more new blood, both in the US and Japan. Especially if 3rd parties will continue to refuse to work with Nintendo hardware.
>>336152105
Splatoon is selling gangbusters for Nintendo.
>>336147434
I thought WW did a lot worse than that.
>>336154931
This this this, motherfucking this
The minute Capcom announced they were getting rid of their hostile takeover defenses, people lost their shit at the mere possibility of Nintendo buying them
Even if it's not a big studio like them, looking at a lot of the smaller indie devs (Yes, Nintendo, that means you'll have to pay attention to companies OUTSIDE of Japan for once) that have been making these surprise hits, like Shovel Knight, would be great.Nintendo should buy Platinum.
>>336154931
They should use some of the dosh to acquire small studios to fill different niches or revive old IPs. They desperately need it to avoid another drought. And more partnerships for spin offs too. If they could at least win over more japanese 3rd parties they would be in a better position. The west wants nothing with them from a long time now.
>>336149829
>that rumor or an open world, turn-based Kid Icarus RPG on the NX will never be real
death can't come soon enough
>>336154931
Didn't Kimishima say that they were doing exactly that? Good thing too, even Miyamoto is losing his touch
>>336155520
I still have hope Sakurai might change his mind and announce a sequel at some point for NX or the 3DS successor.
I don't think he will jump from Smash to Smash so let's pray.
>>336154327
I doubt he's afraid to take the blame the last time he spoke where to go next with Metroid after Other M, he flat out told journalist that it at the time didn't have any ideas of what to do next with Metroid. At E3 2014 Takahashi (Head of EPD) stated that they had ideas for the 2D series so that pretty much means Sakamoto finally had an idea. When he plans to reveal that idea is the question.
>>336154446
Unfortunately this is how some companies run, 343i fucked up so many times with Halo yet they are still in charge.
>>336154720
I would choose a sidescroller, no offence but I am Primed out.
It's pretty ridiculous to me that, given the over-saturration of 2D platformers on Nintendo systems, NONE of them are Metroid.
Really doesn't seem like we're asking for a lot with this.
>>336156147
This is what pissed me off the most. Top-down Zelda, 2D Mario, DK, Yoshi, Kriby all of this on 3DS yet instead of having EPD make Metroid: Dread, they make Next Level Games make Metroid Prime. Why?
>>336155585
>LosING
The last great Miyamoto game was Pikmin 2.
>>336152092
>not spla2n
its okay i made that mistake once too
