I'd also like to see Nintendo branch out more in terms of collaborathing with outside studios; many great games from their past have resulted from such partnerships, such as Mario RPG with Square, F-Zero GX with Sega, Astral Chain with Platinum, Sin and Punishment with Treasure, Metroid Dread with Mercury Steam, etc. I'd love to see, say, Diddy Kong Racing 2 by the old ex-Rare team at Playtonic. Not only can this help bring a freshness to some of their IPs, but as games become more intensive to create, they're going to need to work with external partners to ensure a steady flow of software. |
If not Playtonic, then perhaps someone Playtonic knows through their stint as a publisher who can do Diddy Kong Racing 2 justice. Or Sumo Digital, who did Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed, so they can just build on that with Donkey Kong Country characters. |
Sumo would be a good pick too, Sonic All Stars Racing 1 and Transformed were excellent.
It would be cool to see Playtonic do modern takes on a lot of their SNES/N64 output, like how Impossible Lair was a wonderful modern take on 1990s Donkey Kong Country.
Their relationship with Platinum should also be a priority.
