I agree with Veknoid here, I'm 23 and I still play Mario Kart and F-Zero.

Nintendo's always been a less competetive system, that's why there are no achievements/trophy's. You can pick up most Nintendo games, play it for X period of time, and put it down. There are a few excellent serious games on Nintendo consoles, typically RPG's, but even with Zelda, anyone can pick up the game and play.

A PGR style arcade game kind of suites Nintendo better then a SIM. Do you have to be a kid to like PGR? I think most people who don't obsess over video games like we do would find that a PGR esk game would be a great first adventure into racing games with real cars. After all, I think most people who play racing games are casual gamers because you can pick up the game, play for X many races, and still have a blast, or just race various cars head to head.


P.S. Wow, really, the average gamer is 37? That sounds a bit old, to be 37 that would mean the average gamer was 10 in 1986, when Video games just started to explode. Are you saying that gaming has attracted that many people from before the gaming boom to offset all the kids being born and growing up playing games?







I am not talking about you, because you make up a minority of gamers. Possibly the majority of early adopters were children and hardcore Nintendo fans. Lets see how Nintendo gets the attention of adults in the family. Nintendo knows they rarely will disappoint their hardcore, they just need to keep being themselves.




Well let's agree to disagree. I think an arcade style game will appeal to adults who also like Nintendo more then a full pledge sim.







You know videogame history, Nintendo was never the arcade console and was never considered such until KI. In fact the PC and arcade community at the time looked down upon consoles, but mostly Nintendo. Nintendo had Mortal Kombat but they took the blood out of that game a gimped the games SNES sales so the little kiddies wont get nightmares so everyone bought it on Sega. Sega was the true passable arcade console for the arcade hobbyist who wanted the arcade experience at home.  Sega has ported many of their most popular arcade classics up past the 32X to the Dreamcast. Sony carried on that legacy publishing Tekken and gathering Time Crisis and numerous other arcade titles. Sony and Microsoft ushered in the death of the arcade market in the US. 

It was a little late to the party, but the Neo Geo was THE arcade machine (all SNK but still). SNES also had more arcade beat em ups then the Genesis.... Final Fight (and Street Fighter 2) were reasons to buy a SNES over a Genesis in the early days of that rivalry.

Given the current path Nintendo is trying to follow recently, they should make a shooter, because as Resident Evil Revelations have proved, having only one game that belongs to a genre that has a bigger representation on other platforms will make the people that is attracted to those games to buy the system.

Maybe an open world racing sim, kinda like diddy kong racing if you have played that game. A large world to drive in, with cops and all that, and racin tracks outside that city. 

Maybe

I was thinking literally along the lines of PGR. Real cars, real cities, and some real race tracks, but street racing, where bumping the wall or another player has no consequence except for cosmetic damage. I want to see a good representation of a cars physics, accurate portrails of which car is faster then which, but not limit the racing to on track, and not make it so serious.

Either way, I hope something happens, with real world cars. Sim or not, I'll be happy if it's a Nintendo published game with Ferrari's.

Nintendo needs shooters with great online multiplayer modes. FPP or TPP, preferably two series covering both genres. They need games covering what Halo+Gears and Killzone+Uncharted give.

NEW STARFOX= Immediate Wii U purchase for me! OMG!

You know, that sounds a lot like gran turismo :D 

It does doesn't it *shifty eyes.*

But no! PGR is different, lol.

Either way, a Nintendo racer, with real cars. I'm in.

RPG, Belt scroll beat em up

I know right! I would love a new Starfox. I feel like they wasted a lot of potential with the franchises many missteps, but they can remedy that with a new, stellar game.
