F-Zero UX - WHY NOT? Give it to Sega again! Nintendo is practically having a love affair with sega right now! WHY NOT?



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

I blame everyone who didn't rush out to buy the perfection that is F-Zero GX.


I agree with you - I still play GX weekly to this day. But it is my understanding that it didn't sell so well

It... did not.

He doesn't want to make another F-Zero GX, with only better graphics, online multiplayer added, etc. It seems like he wants to be sure the next title in the series will add something significant in the gameplay. What's wrong with innovation and why does adding something new always have to be classified as a gimmick ? So tired of people using that word for everything.

The next F-Zero will come when the time is right, I like that approach alot better than the one they are using with the NSMB series.

Pretty much the only game I ever pre-ordered.

I demand another Bananaman racing game!

I could see the MarioKart team taking it on when they finish 8.

I kinda want Miyamoto to step down. Seriously, he's a great guy, and I appreciate all he has done immensely, but he is so out of touch with what fans want these days. Sticker Star is entirely his fault, Skyward Sword is his fault, no F-zero is his fault. No starfox is his fault. I mean, the guy is just a wall these days, preventing everything I want from Nintendo actually happening. I like the guy, but he isn't even making anything new anymore, and all he wants to do is stop things we want.

Just because you were disappointed by the games in bold doesn't mean everyone else was. And surely doesn't mean the person who had some type of control over them should step down.

I hope so, a late 2015/early 2016 release should be possible.

Well he specifically demanded features in those games that is disliked by the majority of the gaming community. (IE: Motion, taking turn based combat out)

Well... a gimmick tends to be a short lived trend or fad created with the sole purpose of luring a greater market of people, generally who impulse buy. The Wii was made to lure people who dont game. It was created to simplify the process so they are no longer alienated from enjoying games. Sales show it really didnt matter, except for the Wii Fit, Wii Sports and stuff like that. Moms everywhere were going Gaga for Wii fit until Microsoft launched the Kinect. Gimmicks have no practical use in the long run. It gave the Wii a good four years before the casuals went to the next trend. Nintendo tried to ride the tablet craze and that failed because theres no multipurpose use in buying a Wii U tablet. Smart Glass is a gimmick itself as far as gaming is concerned, but it will be accessible to more people than the Wii U is.

Why does adding a second screen with touch capabilities has to be a gimmick ? Why can't it be classified as an innovative way to improve upon the classic controller ? It opens up possibilities to make the gaming experience more enjoyable, that's what fucking matters. Jeez, only by playing RPG's on my 3DS, it was pretty obvious to me that it does make the gaming experience better. Why do you focus on whether it's trying to capitalize on the tablet craze or trying to appeal to casual gamers ? What about the fact that it can enhance the core gamer experience when used right ? Still, in a perfect world, the Wii U would have both the gamepad and the horsepower of a PS4, but just cause we don't have that, doesn't mean the gamepad is a gimmick and can't add anything to the gaming experience.
