Forums - Nintendo - What games will make you "satisfied" with your Wii U purchase before a new console is announced?

Borrowing yours because it's a lot like my own and I don't feel like typing it :P 

Here's my list:

- Zelda for Wii U (Art style close to that of tech demo)

- Starfox for Wii U (like a mix of 64 and Adventures, so something like Ratchet and Clank with better space levels, lots of planets to explore, Great Fox as a hub for missions)

- FPS Metroid (I want the TPS Metroid not developed by Sakamoto to be for 3DS, and retro to do another FPS on Wii U)

- Mario Kart 8

- Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U (c wut i did ther) I've wanted to do that same thing for so long...

- Pokken Fighters (with sound design and particles as good as Killer Instinct. Oh, and at least 150 Pokemon better be playable, not just fighting type Pokemon)

- X

- Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem (turn based SRPG set in an urban city)

- 3D Donkey Kong game (one that's not a collect-a-thon, or is, I don't really care, just give me one, but give me a break for a while after Tropical Freeze first)

- A game that plagerizes Sunset Overdrive without shame (Project S.T.E.A.M.?) Sunset Overdrive but with aliens (A.M. stands for Alien Menace)? I guess it could be that, but I'd rather Nintendo have it's own thing. So long as it is a seperate thing from the NFP game, and preferably also a seperate thing from Miyamoto's new IP, I'm fine.

- A 3D Sonic game that takes the roller coaster, momentum based level design and mechanics found in Sonic Advance 2 (No 2D stages)

- Open World Mario (Because "real 3D Mario" is too complex a concept for a lot of you to understand) <---This

- Kid Icarus Wii U

- 3D Kirby game

- Bayonetta 2, I guess with a port of Bayonetta 1 on the eShop.

And I'll add some of my own:

-Hyrule Warriors, as a game with more than just Link playable that hopefully is actually part of the timeline and takes place during one of the important wars.

-Fire Emblem Wii U. You know, seperate from SMT. FExSMT is a great idea, but I want a standalone Fire Emblem too. After Awakening's success, the series has grown and might do decently on Wii U

-Fatal Frame Wii U

-Spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness

-Yarn Yoshi. I want it. Don't cancel it, or I'll be mad.

-Animal Crossing U, and you can still be mayor or have some other powerful position that lets you reshape the town.

And hey, before Cheebee jumps on me that it's not realitic, I know I'm not going to get all of this, but so long as I get a handful of the unconfirmed things or specific details I specified, I'll be extremely satisfied. That said, it's just one way to satisfy me. Nintendo could easily do something different that would also satisfy me. Mostly I just want them to bring back a few old IPs, which they recently said they'd do, create a few new ones, which they're confirmed to be doing, and bring in a few more classic go to Nintendo IPs, which they're certain to do eventually.

Okay, so;

Very unlikely, imo, as the franchise has been in steady decline ever since 64.

- That's a stupid reason. Nintendo doesn't work like that, else Chibi Robo 3DS wouldn't be a thing.

Unlikely, considering the most recent 3rd person Metroid's bad reception and sales, as well as the disappointing sales of the Metroid IP in general (even with the last two being on the mighty Wii)

- First, Other M wasn't a TPS. Second, declining sales still mean nothing. If there's a demand, Nintendo will make it. Chibi Robo.

- Mario Kart 8  - Happening

- Super Smash Bros. 4 Wii U (c wut i did ther)  - Happening

Nobody knows of this game even exists, nor what it will be if it does.

Yes, we do. I never claimed to know what it is, but it does exist.

- X  - Happening

Game hasn't been mentioned since its original mention. Hoping for best-case scenarios won't make them come true.

- Yes it has. The makers already said it would take place in a modern city. I just added the open world part because it's a natural progressing of the Shin Megami Tensei and the FIre Emblem franchises of hardware this powerful.

Not happening. It took Retro a few years to get DKCTF out. 3D would take longer, it doesn't seem like Retro are doing DK anymore, and Nintendo themselves don't have enough manpower as is. They won't outsource a main AAA franchise game to a 3rd party.

- The makers of Tropical Freeze flat out said that the next DK would probably be in 3D. In his "Just like the Mario games." And they have already given AAA franchises to 3rd party devs, not that I think they will.

Simply unfeasible considering Nintendo Nintendo are reluctant to blatantly copying competitors' games.

- Never said Nintendo had to make it. Just said I wanted it. 

- A 3D Sonic game that takes the roller coaster, momentum based level design and mechanics found in Sonic Advance 2 (No 2D stages) - I've never played a Sonic game, so I can't comment on this one.

Unlikely. We'll likely see a new 3D Mario game that's less linear and static than 3D World was, but it won't be 'open world'. Ever since Sunshine, the 3D Marios have become more and more linear with every iteration. Nintendo's obsessed with hand-holding, beginner-friendliness and accessibility. Expect Galaxy 1-like 'openness' at the very most.

- Nintendo explicitely said that they'd make the next 3D Mario open world if there was demand. They specifically mentioned Sunshine as an example.

Sakurai himself said he won't make another KI game. Quote: 'For now, my thought is that perhaps we'll see someone else besides me make another Kid Icarus in another 25 years.' And I cannot imagine this IP being high on Nintendo's list of priorities. Also, such a game would take quite a lot of effort, seeing how they don't have much besides KI Uprising to go on for development. Unless they intendo to do Kid Icarus Uprising HD.

- First, Sakurai says he won't do a lot of things he eventually does. Second, I never said Sakurai had to make it. Third, a lot of games take a lot of effort. If there is demand, Nintendo will make it.

When was Kirby ever 3D? (Hint - never. Unless you mean 2.5D, but those games were still sidescrollers.)

- Who cares? There's a first time for everything. Lamest excuse on the list.

- Bayonetta 2, I guess - Coming.

so stupid.



W101 and the gamepad. That's why I bought the system.

Again, if Nintendo released a new console tomorrow, and all you had was W101 and the gamepad, you'd be just peachy? You'd be ready to support the next one?

Pretty much. Though I should mention backwards compatibility as a factor for the wii u purchase as well. If the new system had a game or a unique feature that gained my interest I would certainly buy it, pending the cost. I have become a casual  gamer over the years and not too concerned with the amount of games a system has.

Lol, I thought I was casual, but I would be pissed if I only got one game out of a $300 purchase.

I'm telling you. Winter 2016. It will happen.

Well realistically, you know it will be more than one game you would likely purchase. The are other games I want to play like Bayonetta 2, Mk8, and smash. I would say if it wasn't for W101, the gamepad and off-tv play, and the price, I wouldn't have purchased the system so soon. I would have likely waited until the price had dropped significantly. I only paid $215 for it with new mario before the price drop.

That's what this thread is about though. How many and what games would Nintendo have to have out for you to be ready and willing to accept an upgrade.
