Forums - Nintendo - Prediction: Nintendo will announce everything for the wrong platform

2D Metroid -> Wii U
Advance Wars -> Wii U
Fire Emblem -> Wii U

Would be amazing.

But not a 2D Metroid from Retro. Nintendo SPD + Intelligent Systems should do it (like the original 2D Metroid games).

Maybe a little too much for Intelligent systems, the already work on SMT x FE.

I will honestly hunt down someone at Nintendo if Star Fox gets announced for the 3DS! >:(

Arcadey shooters aren't very popular to equal their costs. Star Fox demands the best graphic quality but it isn't very engaging  to gamers in general so costs are higher and profits are low


Speak for yourself. Quite frankly, considering there has not been a true, 100% "arcadey shooter" Star Fox since the N64, saying that there isn't enough interest or market in a new one is, I'm sorry to say, entirely invalid. Because there simply isn't evidence to back that up.

The 3DS remake sold pretty well, in all honesty, at over 700k. That's pretty good for a remake not called Zelda or Mario. And interest in remakes is usually far lower than for brand new games. Just ask WWHD. The point is, if Nintendo presented gamers with a brand new, gorgeous, epic HD Star Fox, that was very much in the vein of SF64 (as it should be), I am certain there would be a huge amount of hype for it, and it would sell at LEAST 1 million, most likely more.



it could be

Star Fox Assault was most definitely an arcadey shooter. It was even originally slated for the arcade. Yet the game only sold 1/4 of what 64 sold

Depending on the game being remade, the effects are different. For a game in a mostly dead genre( how many non remake arcadey shooters that game out in the past 5 years can you name), a remake may be inflating sales to average entry sales. Also for a Wii U one, an HD arcadey shooter as deep as 64 would probably would probably reach close to $1 million budget and probably not sell 1 million units on the Wii U

Advance Wars is a handheld series, the console equivalent is Battalion Wars. They're the successors of Game Boy Wars and Famicom Wars, respectively. So are you really predicting that they'll decide to release a console Advance Wars, or did you mean to say that you think they'll announce a Battalion Wars?



@AstroGamer

You're slanting your argument in your favor by completely ignoring one simple, but very important fact:

Star Fox Assault way undersold Star Fox 64, because it was a piece of flaming dogshit. It only had TWO (the first two) levels of the entire game that actually played out like Star Fox should (and those were the GOOD levels of the game). Most of the rest of it was repetitive, garbage "on ground" missions, or missions where you could get in and out of the Arwing in tiny ground based stages. Namco did a HORRIBLE job with that game, and Nintendo never should have let someone else touch the franchise. They did SF64 themselves, they should have done it's sequel themselves.

But that's besides the point. The POINT is, Assault sold poorly because it deserved to. And Command on DS also sold poorly, because, in all blunt honesty, who the FUCK wants to control the Arwing exclusively with the goddamn touch screen? That game, for that one reason alone, at least, was horrible also. So there has not been a genuinely GOOD "arcadey 3D shooter" since SF64, really. No wonder the genre hasn't done so well. Sin & Punishment 1 didn't even come to NA, the Panzer Dragoon game on Xbox wasn't as good as it should have been, and wasn't properly promoted/was put on the wrong console. Sin & Punishment 2 on Wii is a good game, but it's also far more "niche" than Star Fox, with a bizarre, out there, hard to even follow Japanese anime style plot, and sometimes very frustratingly-hard gameplay.

But there hasn't been an abundance of those types of games, period. And I think if Nintendo put out a GOOD HD Star Fox, people would want it, and buy it. I would prefer Nintendo to have some of the same folks involved with 64 do it again themselves. But I don't care if Platinum does it, if Retro does it, if Next Level does it....so long as Namco or Team Ninja don't come within 20 miles of it, and so long as it's GOOD (and true to Star Fox), then I'll be fine with it.




New Super Mario Bros. 3 - 3DS (2015)
Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D - 3DS
Fire Emblem Next - 3DS
Advance Wars 3DS - 3DS eShop title
Diddy Kong Racing Returns - 3DS (Monster Games 2015)

I think maybe a Punch-Out! 3DS might make sense too if Next Level can push it out quickly. 


Are my guesses for 3DS stuff in development, they need to be able to sell the system through 2015 at least after all.

Zelda U
Metroid U (NST?)
Mario Party U
Fatal Frame U (Koei-Tecmo)
Pokken Fighters Tournament (Namco)

Wii U Zapper Game (EAD? nd Cube?)

Are the Wii U titles I'm guessing are in development (or confirmed) but haven't been formally shown off.

Unfortunately I dunno about Star Fox ... I think maybe Nintendo would want to make it for the Wii U, but is it worth the investment on their part at this point ... can't see it selling even comparably to a Pikmin 3 or DKC: TF, probably looking at 300-400k WW tops, I think they are going to get stingier with the projects they greenlight from here on out in efforts to maximize profit margins.
