I wonder if Capt Falcon would be cut from Smash.
I know he's a staple and all, but he's just a roster filler at this point. No one knows what game he's from outside the "hardcore" and even then within a small subset.
He's there because of service to the brand. They can run Smash without him, but they choose not to because "he was in every other Smash".
Even if the game's good, the character itself is bland. People don't play F-Zero for Falcon, they play it for the crazy races.

1. Amusement Vision is defunct. Sega doesn't have a team in place to make an F-Zero game even if they wanted to.
2. The teams that make the Mario (EAD Tokyo) and Pokemon games (Pokemon isn't even developed internally anyway) do not make the racing games. That's the Mario Kart team (Software Development Group 1).
3. That new R&D building is nearing completion. This will allow Nintendo to expand their internal development teams. They are at capacity in their current building.

You do realize that the he spoke Japanese and this is just a translation, don't you?

I didn't say they were funding it. However they are still making it for the Wii U and PC (rather than some other console).

I think some people are not really getting where Miyamoto comes from when he says these types of things. He's not us. He's not a gamer. He didn't grow up playing and loving video games. He went to art school, became a designer. Worked for Nintendo, got put on their burgeoning video game unit, and the rest is history. When he designs games, he always thinks of the gameplay ideas first, before anything else, be it characters, story, setting, you name it. When he created Zelda, he wanted to recreate his childhood adventures off in the backwoods near his home. He wanted to recreate that free-roaming sense of exploration. When he created Pikmin, he was really into gardening, and started imagining Pikmin and the like as an extension of that. He created Wii Fit because he was really getting into fitness and weighing himself. Etc. etc. So when he approaches making a new game in one of Nintendo's franchises, he doesn't look at it like we do, from a fan's perspective. He always tries to justify making a new game by trying to think up some new experience that he could put in it. They don't ALWAYS work out amazing, but more often than not, they work out fine. He's had far more successes than failures, that's for sure. And when it comes to something like F-Zero, I think he tends to not really be interested in just giving us more of the same with better graphics. That's what I believe he was trying to convey. "How can we make the next F-Zero installment special, and not just more of the same?" |
Isn't that what Nintendo is doing with <insert any living Nintendo franchise>? Furthermore, you seem to imply that Miyamoto is disconnected from the reality of the market...

True, I hadn't thought about that. You have a point.

This would make you get a Wii U, but Bayonetta 2 wouldn´t ? |
Well not just this game (although it feels more unique than Bayonetta 2, also I've never had a N64 and I wanted this game badly back then), but with F-Zero + Bayonetta2 + X I would already put a lot more value in the system.
Gah, it pisses me that they stopped supporting the Wii after 2011. It was such a golden opportunity to revive more old franchises, ala Donkey Kong. F-Zero could have been one of them.
That way Wii owners could have more games to play, and Nintendo would have more franchises in upcoming gens to drive sales. But that was uncompatible with making room for third parties, so...
When you have a home console with a 90+M userbase you have to take advantage of it in a long term way too.






This is a downer. I want to believe something was lost in translation, but it really sounds like there's no F-Zero game in the pipeline, on Wii U or 3DS. I really hope that's not the case. It's a really good franchise and it deserves another installment.
Hopefully it will come back in a few years, i loved this back on the n64
