| naruball said: I have to disagree. I played Mario 3d land the last couple of days (last Mario Games I played were Galaxy for a few hours and Super Mario Bros 3) and I couldn't believe how little (imho) the franchise has evolved. I am reallly disappointed in them as a company, but hope games like X do well, because I believe that that's what the company needs. Enough Marios! More original ips. I don't want a Mario Kart, Mario golf, Mario soccer, Mario rpg etc. I want an actual rpg from Ninty. A new Zelda-like game without Link and without the same universe. Something original (or sort of original) like Heavy Rain. Maybe that's just me though. Baynetta and Wonderful 101 were steps towards the right direction as far as I'm concerned. |
I respect your opinion concerning the mario platforming games.
As for the sports games, I think it's important for Nintendo to offer some and I find the Mario skin quite appropriate for the arcade gameplay that Nintendo is aiming for in these games, just like how they use their franchises characters for their fighting game (Smash). When it comes to racing games, hopefully Ninty will revive F-Zero to offer an alternative to Mario Kart. Both in racing and sports games, I think they should keep their focus on offering the best arcarde gameplay experience and let the simulations to Sony/Microsoft.
When you say you want an actual RPG from Nintendo, I guess you mean one that doesn't use the Mario universe, but they did that with Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii and now X is coming to Wii U.
Not so sure about a Zelda-like game without Link and a Heavy Rain kind of game, I guess we'll have to wait and see what Miyamoto new IP is to see a new genre of game on Ninty's home console!
