| Cobretti2 said: For me a lot of great franchises were lost with RARE but Nintendo never really built similar new ones to replace them. Perfect Dark, Killer Instinct, Blast Crops, Banjo etc. Don't really have new equivalents. Would love to see something in this space. |
ME TOO!! I know they can easily do a stand in for Jet Force Gemini using the Splatoon 3 engine, and a new 3D Donkey Kong as a stand in for Banjo (assuming Microsoft isn't having a new Banjo-Kazooie game made that they want to bring to the new Nintendo system). Killer Instinct would be a tricky one to replace since I don't know if Nintendo has any game engines that can do a traditional fighting game. Maybe it could be a sort of gritty revival of the obscure NES game Urban Champion. Perfect Dark's equivalent may be the Metroid Prime franchise, considering they're both gritty sci-fi FPS games with a badass female protagonist, but Metroid Prime is a lot more open ended and has more emphasis on loneliness and horror. Yes Perfect Dark had some pretty scary moments, but nothing involving the likes of Ridley or Dark Samus's more visceral form at the end of Prime 2.
