Nintendo has the most iconic game franchises of all time, thanks to Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and many more. However, there is some third-party franchises that I think would work wonders as part of Nintendo’s legacy. Here is a list of games and game series that I think Nintendo could do astounding things with. Some are plausible while others are downright bonkers.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Sorry, but no, i do not want to see Sonic bought off of SEGA. SEGA has it's own style and if Nintendo bought Sonic then it wouldn't be the same, the game designs would be different.
There is also no chance of this ever happening. Sonic is the face of SEGA, if SEGA was to sell Sonic they would finished.
I honestly don't think Nintendo would need to buy these franchises to earn advantage from them. Sonic Lost World, quality aside, sold well enough and it's not like Capcom is doing anything else with Mega Man beyond his Smash Bros. appearance.
Nintendo doesn't need to own these franchises to benefit from them.
The only one here I really agree with is Mega Man. Bayo is Kamiyas' baby, that's not going anywhere, Sonic is still a major mascot for Sega, LBP is Sony and MicroCraft probably isn't going to any more platforms.
