Forums - Nintendo - Four developers Nintendo sould partner with

Zelda -> From Software

I actually think From Software's style is a better fit for Metroid than Zelda.

As for the OP, lol, no thanks. We don't need to make Pokemon like Shin Megami Tensei. We already have Shin Megami Tensei for that.

Cannot disagree with the OP more.

How about Monolith for a new Pokémon? Seeing as they're a Nintendo dev, have experience with the hardware, have the bandwidth and make beautiful RPGs. True, Pokémon would necessarily need a different art style to how X and Xenoblade look, but I think that would just stretch the dev in a different way.

Zelda would NEED to stay inhouse for it to still BE a Zelda game. Zelda is in good hands, it doesn't need to more like Skyrim, or Dragon Age, or the Witcher. This is stupid.

Concentrating on the third person aspect of a Starfox game is daft. Starfox isn't a third person adventure, it's a rails shooter. To make a rails shooter relevant and interesting it would need to be the most over the top rails shooter ever. Platinum would deliver that in spades.

Finally Metroid. OP even asserts that Retro did a 'fantastic' job with Prime. Why take it away from a dev that has made 3 superb entries in a franchise?

Sorry, but that article was stupid and I feel stupid for bothering to reply.



If anyone believes, even if its just for 1 second, that Nintendo will let anyone else work on a platformer Mario or a home console Zelda, then he needs to see a doctor. He's insane.

I'd like to see Kamiya work on Star Fox, because  who knows with what crazy shit he may come up. Imagine a bullet hell Star Fox. We would all throw our GamePads out the windows due to frustration.

I wouldn't necessarily say Insomniac's pedigree would make them a good choice for Star Fox.

Star Fox is a rail shooter which branched out into third person action/adventure with later games.

Ratchet is a third person action/adventure which included some rail shooting segments in certain titles.

I mean, the only space shooting I can think of from the recent games was very brief sections in Tools of Destruction between planets; and the 2D-plane space shooting in A Crack in Time. Not really the kind of stuff that the Star Fox series has been known for.

That's not to say they couldn't do a good job, just that I haven't seen anything that suggests they'd handle it well thus far. The 3rd person sections, fine, but not the space shooting.

Bethesda + Metroid = success



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

You want to turn an adventure game like Metroid into an RPG riddled with bugs?

A Rocksteady Metroid would probably make my pants messy. It would be a perfect fit.



Insomniac is an interesting choice that I haven't thought about...I'm not completely confident in them anymore due to their recent struggles but they have made some great games and I would be interested to see what they would do with Star Fox.
To take Star Fox in a different direction, Platinum Games would be the most obvious choice. While Insomniac I think would go towards a Ratchet and Clank type feel, Platinum would probably focus more on the flying aspect and make it like Vanquish in space...if that makes any sense.

For Metroid, I do not think Rockstead would be a good choice. I played Arkham Asylum and while it was a good game, it was not what I believe Metroid should head towards. I don't see any piece of those games that I think would work in the metroid universe (or that hasn't been done 100x better by Retro). I think Retro should stick with 3D Metroid games.
For 2D Metroid, I believe WayForward would be a great choice. I believe they have proved that they can make great 2D Metroid-esque games, as well as games like Aliens Infestation. With a great IP like Metroid, I think they could make a brilliant game.

I really like the idea of having Atlas make a Pokemon game. While I think it should be a spin off and not a main series game, it would be very interesting to see what they would do with the franchise.

I do not think CD Projekt RED should develop a Zelda game. In fact, I don't think anyone but Nintendo should develop a Zelda game. I do not believe that more "maturity" is necessary and I think that Nintendo would make a better Zelda game than anyone else. (radical spin offs like Hyrule Warriors are different)
I do very much like CD Projekt RED though and I would love to see them work on a new IP for the Wii U...but I doubt it will ever happen

i think you missed the part where the OP wanted a starfox adventures/assult style game.   ...the recent star fox games where the space shooting was minimized in favor of "on foot" (third person/adventure) gameplay,... it's a lot like in ratchet and clank.

ratchet and clank has had some space shooting sections in a majority of the releases so obviously they have some experience with that even if it has always, imo, been the weakest section of rachet and clank.  so as long as the focus is the "adventure" style star fox not the snes space shooter style i think insomniac could do a good job.

 

...but i'd much rather they work on R&C for ps4.  :P      

with the R&C movie coming i feel it's safe to assume there is a ps4 R&C game in the works.  i hope insomniac is at the helm and not some other company.  we'll see.
