"Nintendo boasts one of the most robust rosters of intellectual properties and franchises in all of gaming. No doubt, this is helped by the company’s long history (the big N celebrates is 125th birthday this September, but entered the gaming scene in the 1970s). " | Explosion.com
F-Zero has been a dormant franchise for a couple of decades now. In fact, if it weren’t for the obvious appearances that Captain Falcon has been making in Super Smash Bros. games, you could get the impression that Nintendo has forgotten all about the series.
Have a new F-Zero hit within the first 2 years of Switch 2 and watch it sell away.
Maybe Nintendo should learn to drop the prices on their games if they want more sales. I have seen games that are 4 years old on store shelves at full price.
We haven't seen a lot of franchise's from Nintendo. Mario will always stay as the shit stain of Nintendo. Mario games are fun and Kirby but some times you get tired of seeing Mario everywhere literally everywhere. They are playing it safe.
BY FRANKLIN: When putting together a list of the best remakes and remasters for modern consoles, I started thinking about many of the classic games that also deserve remakes. Some more popular games been re-released on digital platforms or ported with no updates to the original game, but a direct port is not as satiating as a remake. These games deserve to be remade from the ground up, or at the very least have a graphical refresh.
These are 6 classic game remakes that we want to see in 2023.
Nah. New games or gtfo. You want to play Super Mario RPG? Hop on archive and download it.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic already has a remake coming, though it has had a rough development moving from Aspyr Media to a Saber Interactive studio it is still set to come to PS5 and PC.
I will gladly take remasters and ports of older games, would love a remake of Link to the Past in the same style as Link's Awakening, I'd also love a remake of Super Mario RPG.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I respect the hell out of Star Fox for what it was setting out to do in 1993. You gotta love how feisty Nintendo was being, proving the naysayers wrong with their whole “bit wars” schtick. That doesn’t mean I have to like this game… as a game. It’s just not very good. It was a proof of concept, a big fat tech demo. If anything, we ended up getting Star Fox 64, one of the best games of all time (don’t at me) four years later, so that alone is enough to validate the original Star Fox‘s existence. It also marked the beginning of arguably Nintendo’s most neglected and disrespected franchise alongside F-Zero. One I sure hope won’t die with that disgraceful Wii U title as its swan song, its last hoorah. Happy anniversary, you weird, ugly, barely polygonal monstrosity. At the end of the day, we still love you."
I would love it if Nintendo finally did a Chorus type Star Fox game at this point. I think with their characters and their "Nintendo Appeal" - whatever that is - they could bring back Star Fox as a main franchise.
The Chorus game design, or even a Crimson Skies style to a lesser extent, would make for a great template to get Star Fox up and running again and get the franchise out of the rut it's suffering from.
Sure, they can go back to the SNES/N64 era gameplay but...really? Meh. Maybe they can use that corridor gameplay style for a smaller game, released between the big releases, or as Boss Levels at the end of each free roaming chapter for that added "Cinematic Flair".
Star Fox certainly deserves better.
"It’s just not very good."
You wash that filthy mouth!
--It really was something you had to be there for and experience during the early 90's, I understand haha
Earthbound
Super Mario RPG
I agree with Kid Icarus, F-Zero, StarFox, Eternal Darkness and Sin and Punishment. The other franchises I think Nintendo has done other recent games that are similar. But Nintendo could have a small team "WWHD" Kid Icarus Uprising onto WiiU with modified dual analog support and online multiplayer battles with some additional battle arenas and this game would be perfect...
Sin and Punishment was a on rail shooter, but I think the game mechanics could be modified to a RE4 style 3rd person cover shooting game. Eternal Darkness was so ahead of its time that it could just receive prettier HD visuals as well and be an amazing experience on WiiU. StarFox and F-Zero need a little more care and direction to bring them to today's gamers tastes. It's either the games just focus on what they do best and they could have major online multiplayer aspects while being eShop games. Or they really try and reinvent both franchises and do something radically different. Some people want StarFox to stick to space shooter element, but people say that StarFox is Nintendo's Star Wars essentially. If that's the case, aren't they selling the franchise short then? What if Nintendo partnered with a 3rd party company to bring a new StarFox that was equally part MassEffect and Rogue Squadron in one universe! Pure epic meltdown.
rather be playing Gradius,Contra,R-type,Einhande r, Battle arena toshiden .
Eternal Darkness for sure. Was such a creepy game.
I would gladly welcome another Startropics. The two games that came out were really great and I'd love a third one.
