Forums - Nintendo - How would you freshen up a Nintendo franchise for the next gen?

I really liked it and it would be cool, but I doubt Zelda will ever becom like that.

Also, I doubt you were dreaming. I'm pretty sure you've spent nights over fantacizing about the perfect intro to a game and now you've come up with an excuse to tell about it. Well, technically you 'dreamt' it either way.

I know cause I've been there.

 Haha while I will admit I filled in some stuff afterward this did come from my dream last night. I think the reason it came up was because my friend borrowed Persona 3 from me last week. He was telling me how awesome it was because it wasn't set in the standard fantasy world that too many series pigeonhole themselves into. This is just one of my ideas for updating a Nintendo series though. I'm still dreaming about the full Pokemon game on N64 with a Smash Bros style battle system that I always wanted.

My wish is simple. I would want Nintendo to dedicate themselves more to making creative 2D iterations of their classic franchises. New Super Mario Bros. Wii had more flaws than it should have, and I hope to see more dedicated efforts from the house that the heavens built in the future.

A sequel to Yoshi's Island - that is not an insult - would be nice, though I fear it may be impossible at this point.



Don't have those those planetoid things in Mario!

Starfox with just flying!

I guess these aren't freshen up these are... uh not doing things that bug me.



i want to see Link and Ganon team up, why not??? Link has kicked Ganon's ass so many times its lost all meaning, Ninty shouldnt change anything. people like playing the same thing over and over again. Look whay happened to Other M, sure it wasnt the greatest thing in the world but i give ninty credit for trying something different, wish more people would do the same



@oniyide: I take it that was directed at me, before I edited my post.

Why is it a bad idea? Because it is an overwrought and ill conceived plot espoused only by teenage boys playing at fan fiction. It will never happen because it goes against the very essence of the Zelda mythos.

I'd put guns in Mario and make it an FPS Platformer. Fuck jumping on enemie's heads, I'd shoot em in the head.



@helios  Majora's Mask had Link having to save the world from a falling move with a damn face on it??? that sounds much more crazy than Ganon and Link teaming up and if its done right it would be good. Do you really want to play another game where you have to defeat Ganon is that all fans of the series really want??? The same thing but with a little "gimmick" thrown in. I for one want a little more after all these years i dont think it will hurt. BTW i think Majora's Mask is the best Zelda ever. why??? because it is as fair from the other games without losing its essence.

I think them teaming up could be interesting. Personally I would prefer if they did away with all the Zelda and Ganon drama and create a new dilemma for Link to deal with. Majora's Mask is also my favorite Zelda because of how fresh that game feels while also being nostalgic.



@xeroxm3  someone gets it, we always complain about the sam old thing but when someone wants to change things up no one is on board



pokemon should be an MMO....it's just such a perfect fit.  otherwise...i dunno.
