Default Prime's Alex Carlson lets his inner Pokemaniac loose, explaining why a Pokemon MMO isn't just a tremendously profitable idea for Nintendo, but also an inevitability.
"It’s become what is easily the most requested form of entertainment that anyone has ever directed toward Nintendo. In fact, it’s right up there with the Final Fantasy VII HD remake in the “most wanted video game in history” argument. It’s not something limited to just giving the gamers what they want; it’s also a no-brainer to making Nintendo’s future in the console race much more stable and respectable."
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
There are many worlds out there brimming with wondrous creatures ready to help you on your adventure beyond Pokemon.
Temtem is actually really good as a single player experience or as a co-op game. Played the shit out of it when it released
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
If one of the duties that Iwata took over from Kimishima includes direct overseeing of the Pokemon IP, then perhaps it will happen sooner rather than later.
Nintendo needs money, and if several million people will buy garbage like Pokemon Rumble, then all the more people will buy a full fledged MMORPG and pay a worthwhile monthly fee.
With a Wii U/3DS combo like Monster Hunter, it would work well and keep the hand held powerhouses relevant.
*In before the:
'I don't want this, so Nintendo would be stupid to make one, even though hundreds of thousands of people play illegal, weak versions, and hundreds of thousands more refuse to play the illegal versions but hope for the best'
people.
Not sure about an MMO (Would like to see it in action before judging were it to happen) although a fully fledged pokemon game on the Wii U i would gladly welcome.
In fact why we cant play 3DS/DS games in general on the Wii U is beyond me. Come on Nintendo! There are opportunities that will bring the Wii U back to relevance but your not taking them damnit >:(
i think the reason why nintedo hasn't made a pokemona is that i believe MMO'S that aren't big in japan just look at the sells for dragon quest 10 and final fantasy 11
That WouLD bE WICKEd
Aww, I want a Pokemon MMO in 1080p, but the WiiU says no :(
Probably sounds somewhat like this:
