Needs a platformer that can rival LittleBigPlanet. Also a kart racer that can rival Modnation Racers & the upcoming LBP Karting.


You mean like Rayman?  Do you mean a 3D platformer?  Since you seem to hate Nintendo first parties, it seems like mentioning Mario, Zelda, and Metroid would be pointless.  I actually don't see what's wrongwith Metroid as it doesn't seem to be "kiddy" to me, and it is adequetly challenging.  Well, at least the last ones I played were.   All though to say you hate Nintendo's first parties seems to conflict your signature.  I'm confused about what you're asking for.  

I kind of feel like you don't want the Nintendo first party titles because of the image it will receive as well as the people who play it.  


I mean 2D platformers. If Nintendo puts out a platformer that could rival LittleBigplanet psp, then we'll talk. Mario Zelda & Metroid have been used for the past 20 years, so they automatically don't count. I'm talking new ips here.


Oh, I see.  You personally want to see something new (such as new character or something).  I heard Nintendo has been working on some, so maybe we'll see some of that.



lol nevermind dude. I was just acting as a parody for a lot of the crazy responses thus far.

So why dosn't Mario count because its been succesful for 20 years? Thats was and still is a 2D platformer and is still better than LBP! Also Mario Kart, still better than Modnations Racer and chances are better than LBP Karting.

I can play every Mario level in LBP. LBP > Mario.

No, you can play a user created version of Mario. Not the same. Mario has been the platforming standard fot the past 20 years. LBP may be great, but its not Mario.

After reading the OP I was sure this thread was destined for a ton of back and forth hate. I'm pleasantly surprised the majority of you have choosen to ignore the structure this question attempted to impose on the conversation. The OP, while perhaps unintentionally, is extremely short sighted and aimed to insight conflict. Almost all imposed answers are guided towards one absurd topic, Nintendo being too kiddy/needing mature games/needs to appal to an older crowd. All of those are just one issue of discussion but the OP is treating it like the overall theme as if as if the discussion points were decided as a fact in some previous meeting. The same can be said over the topic of third party support, just one issue.

The repetition in the OP list is so choking to potential conversation that it seems a satire of an attempt for actual debate only to dissolve any remaining hopeful thinking for this thread thanks to the last two list entries. I am pleasantly surprised by the resolve of this community to ignore all but the pertinent question aside from a few mentions of a listed topic for sake of actual relevance. Might I add it thoroughly disappointed the OP.

I've ignored most of the posts like yours this far. I'm going to report you because this has 1) Nothing to do with OP, and 2) Is based on falsehoods and paranoia.

The spirit of this thread is to understand the needs of those who refuse to or regret purchasing Nintendo's last console in an attempt to understand myself what would be the steps Nintendo would need to take in order to succeed in capturing the gamer community at large. The evil you saw in my list was false, because my list is based off the understanding I have of reading a bazillion number of posts on this forum and was a compilation of what I understood to be the major gripes. I wanted to get a sense of where Nintendo needed to focus most in order to succeed. The list is there as a tool to better focus while keeping the compilation simple. Actually my hope was to create a count and have the numbers back for you, but since the participation on using the OP list was abysmal, I'll blame your kind of thinking along with general forum apathy for what I got.

Apart from all that, I am still quite pleased with the responses this far and they help me understand what some of my peers here actually want. Sorry to say, you're not really welcome in this thread.

Can we add suggestions?

By all means. I've already added points by Bad Genome, S.T.A.G.E., MUGEN, and Colbretti this far, so yeah the list is open still.

And thanks for your post actually following OP, it's appreciated.

Reporting me is quite a harsh reaction, though I did let myself go with that post. Though perhaps falsehood, it is not paranoia. An odd direction is in your OP and I feel the lack of participation is testament and that moderators will see where my concern arose from. But really, you must notice that your OP is geared more towards trolling, centered around repeated topics of focus without explanation, whether intentional or not. If the flow of coversation was based on your criteria surely it could have installed some ill arguements. In all honesty, I was expecting this thread to be closed due to baiting and I was surprised that the conversation was steered positively. I suppose I'm not encouraging that since I've revealed what happened. If your OP was not intended in the way I perceived it then I do apologize, but word to the wise, be more careful in the wording of your threads and perhaps opt to use open ended questions rather than definitive lists.

If you don't find me welcome, fine. I won't contribute my analysis of Nintendo's appeal to gamers like myself.
