Andy Tudor (Project CARS) seems to have a really good feel for the WiiU's specs, hardware and development. I figure if he can pull off a great car racing game, he could do the same for jetskis, dirtbikes, and planes. He's also a rare voice of WiiU optimism, in the UK no less (one of WiiU's worst performing territories)

We have heard NOTHING from Nintendo regarding what they'll do with these series I wouldn't be surprised if they have nothing in the pipeline yet.

Nintendo shouldn't let someone this talented slip through the cracks. Fully fund Tudor and Slightly Mad in a similar arrangement as Nintendo has for Platinum Games. To me it's just painfully obvious that Andy Tudor is the best guy to be at the helm for these IPs.

What do you think?

That would be pretty cool.

lets wait till we can play project cars... we dont know how good it is.

Personally, I think having Nintendo fund some game development by that studio, none of Nintendo's existing IPs really suit it. Instead, I'd suggest that they do something similar to what they did with Platinum Games, with expectation of a new IP, owned by Nintendo but with the understanding that Slightly Mad would be the developer of all future entries in the franchise.

Their skill is in realistic car-based racers - while I'm sure they would be adequate at making games around other modes of transport, and would be capable of going for the less realistic styles of Nintendo's current racer franchises, it's much better to go with their strengths, and have them work on a realistic car racing title. Note that this doesn't mean "just another Forza/GT" - it would need to have that Nintendo touch, of course.
