Give us an HD port of GX with online play for download on the eShop. That would be so great.

Yeah, normally when Miyamoto says he has a good idea for a game it still takes years to develop. (Pikmin 3 took 9)

I can't imagine how long it will take if he doesn't want to work on a lower selling series...it is basically dead.

pikmin 3 didn't start development in 2004.

Correct. It didn't actually enter development until 2009-2010, to my knowledge. Not REAL development, before that it was just conceptual stage stuff. And even then, it had a super-small team working on it until last year, as far as I know.  And people need to keep in mind, also, that it took extra time for them to upscale it from Wii hardware to HD Wii U hardware, which basically meant redoing everything, not merely giving things a higher resolution.

Just read this now, Nintendo are wanting to bring in more internal staff to handle more projects that can also focus on older IP's http://mynintendonews.com/2013/06/22/miyamoto-says-nintendo-looking-to-increase-internal-staff-to-create-more-projects/

Yeah i agree we will see these games towards the end of the U's life, hope the N supports WiiU in its final years more than Wii.

I think 2016 will be Iits last year of total support, N64, GC, Wii all had 4 full years of strong 1st party support. The 5th year is when that declined drastically.

That should've happened at least three years ago, but I'm glad to see it's happening at all.

So Mario and Pokemon have been spitting out rehashed versions of essentially the same game for the past ten or so years, and the reason that we're not getting a new F-Zero is because they don't have any new ideas?

Just bring back the ideas behind F-Zero GX and make some new courses with those same ideas. I'd pre-order it right now.

Please don't fall into this trap of rehashing the same tired old comments about rehashing the same tired old ideas. It acts like a sort of antidote to any worthy points you might have elsewhere in your post.

Regardless of whether you may think it's "tired" or not, it's still a very valid point. Many of Nintendo's franchises have had sequels released with perhaps one or two new ideas put into them. For example, the only real new "idea" between, say, NSMB Wii and NSMB U was perhaps the touch screen controller, and that's not even a core gameplay mechanic. Why is that that F-Zero is now suddenly required to have a set amount of innovative potential to have another game released?

My point here isn't to bash Mario/Pokemon/whatever, it's exactly the opposite. If Mario and Pokemon can have games that have hardly any innovation between titles, why can't F-Zero?

No it isn't, if you consider that these games also have completely different levels. Those still require thought and incorporate new ideas. If we base our points on generalisation and simplification, we can make whatever we want stick.

But to address your concerns about F-ZERO, I guess there just hasn't been enough interest in the series to warrant regular sequels, regardless of whether there are new ideas or not. Miyamoto is just doing a PR thing here.
