A very successful IP sells multiple millions of copies and gets people to buy the hardware. It isn't something that has to leg past the one million mark. In all my time here on VGC I have never seen a single person say that Ice Climbers was a good game. The only people who ask for a comeback are young gamers who only know the IP from SSBB and have no idea what the game actually is. They just assume that Ice Climbers is cool, because the rest of the cast in the SSB games comes from good games (except Solid Snake and Mr. Gayman Watch). |
Honestly, I think Ice Climbers could be made into a good, successful game if the genre itself is changed. They could still go for what the name implies and climb up an icy mountain. However, what if they change it into an action adventure game kind of like Zelda, but different? They could probably incorporate some kind of story based off of the old game and create some kind of goal for the top and make it some kind of open-world experience that is semi-guided so people don't get too off track for the end goal of the game. Since they have hammers, it could be used for smashing rocks/ice covering entrances to caverns that help you proceed in the game. I mean... I think it's possible to make the game interesting.
