| Shaunodon said: Is it possible Metroid peaked with Prime? Sure, but I don't see why it's not just as possible that Prime 4 could take it to new heights, or at least get back to where it was. It's not like gamers have just forgotten Metroid exist. |
A good portion probably have since Nintendo let it rot for 7 years ...
I don't deny the possibility that Prime 4 could take it to new heights but I remain dubious about that prospect when it hasn't kept up itself up with recent audience and Metroid is what anyone would describe to be a stagnant franchise ...
| Shaunodon said: Mario Party an irrelevant series? Even for those last three titles the sales were hardly terrible, and only one of them was a main system title. Switch being far more popular and having easier access to multiple controllers, will make Mario Party a much better prospect on the system if they at least make a decent game this time. |
Sales weren't so bad for Island Tour and 10 relatively speaking but the last release was performance of mediocrity ...
What the game doesn't need is more accessibility than it already had in the past, what it needs are similar demographics and that remains the biggest question yet ...
| Shaunodon said: I thought saying that Nintendo are simply on the right trajectory and that we should wait for 2018 before we worry about game shortages, made it clear my expectations are pretty modest. |
Nintendo doesn't have to worry about game shortages if they want the Switch to perform like the 3DS did, it's about them reaching the highest potential and they need new IPs for that ...
| Shaunodon said: I'm not sure what you're hoping from the system or seem to want Nintendo to dramatically overhaul, but I'm pretty satisfied so far with what they're doing and just seeing where the Switch may go. |
I think the Switch is doing decently so far but let's not deny that it has current ceiling ...
| Shaunodon said: I don't expect them to release two BOTW/Mario Odyssey quality games every year (as if anyone could), but as long as we get one or two exclusives close to that level every year, some other 'lesser' exclusives, perhaps a few more big ports (Smash, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta1/2, Xenoblade1/X), and enough support from other studios to pad out the release schedule, I don't see why they can't keep the momentum rolling. |
Well I do since Nintendo just released 4 of them on Switch ...
I expect no less than two flagships if Nintendo wants the Switch to maintain current pace and especially in a tme where Nintendo's biggest 3rd party games are weaker than ever and it's harder than ever for 3rd party's to pump out high production value exclusives for the Switch ...
