Does anyone think Switch will revive dead or dying Nintendo IPs? Switch is mid-life, even if it's the beginning of the middle. Most heavy-hitters are already on Switch or are announced.
I think we'll see Star Fox, Pikmin, and WarioWare on Switch. But I wouldn't call those IPs dead or dying.
I'm referring to these IPs: Chibi-Robo, Custom Robo, F-Zero, Golden Sun, Kid Icarus, Nintendogs, Pilotwings, Punch-Out!!, Wario Land, Wars.
I know that's not a complete list, as there are some IPs that only got one game throughout the years.
I think Nintendogs is a no-brainer. The Switch has so many different kind of players that would be interested in such a game.
Chibi-Robo saddens me. If it comes back, it needs to be like the original game and the Japan-only 3rd game on DS.
F-Zero seems pretty dead, but who knows.
Kid Icarus really needs a new game. Pit was revamped, and I'd like to see a sequel to Uprising. Better controls and graphics are a given. |
Depends on the IP. Nintendogs seems like a no brainer and I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened yet. I could see Pilotwings happening particularly more as a budget title. Golden Sun and Punch Out!!! I don't really see happening.
Kid Icarus seems to be the biggest opportunity. Although, Kid Icarus' controls were great and need no improvement. Git good.
Nintendo tends to front load their consoles with games in their biggest franchises and get into more niche stuff as time goes on, so there's a good chance we'll see at least some revivals. Personally hoping for Wave Race.

I have a feeling that because of the Switch's lifespan, we may get a bit of a whiplash cycle where we get some heavy hitters later than we'd usually expect them. We haven't even gotten an original Mario Kart title for the Switch yet, I imagine that will be coming within the next 1-2 years or so.
