Forums - Nintendo - It's only fair if Metroid skips the Wii U

Nintendo has enough cash saved from the ds/wii era to fund all those games you stated and even if they don't have the manpower they can always farm them out to third parties just like they did with smash wii u (namco bandai).

I aree with this and hope all get released. It's just based on history, this won't happen. Plus, almost every time a 3rd party helps, people don't like the game. Star Fox Assault, Other M...

We'll see though. Honestly, I think Nintendo should just stop with F-Zero, Metroid, Pikmin, and others all together but that would piss people off. New IP's should take their place

Honestly I wouldn't mind if Metroid missed out this generation seeing as I haven't even played most of the games from franchise, so I need time to catch up! Just started on Super Metroid a few days ago and will be getting the Prime trilogy during it's initial release week.

Me too buddy!

Reguarding third party made nintendo games not all are mediocre, F-zero gx was a magnificent game and smash wii u has been great too.

I somewhat agree with this, barring Metroid. I'm pretty sure that Nintendo is prepared to drop F-Zero, at least for this generation. As far as Pikmin goes... well that's a different story. See back around the time the Wii U launched, there were rumors floating around that Shigiru Miyamoto was going to retire. Now obviously he hasn't done this yet and the rumors have pretty much died out, but we did see a new Pikmin game this generation. If you didn't know, Pikmin is Miyamoto's baby. He has been quoted in interviews saying that he day dreams about Pikmin and Pikmin are always on his mind. Nintendo can't drop Pikmin without dropping Miyamoto as well and that would hurt them pretty bad. Luckily, he seems to be obssessed with Starfox right now, now heres hoping that I don't have to move my gamepad to aim and that I can use the Pro Controller.

I fail to see why they can't drop Metroid. Sure, it has history but so does F-Zero. 

As far as Pikmin goes, yes I know all about the series, it's one of my favorites if not my favorite IP Nintendo has The games are simply great. With that said, great things need an end too. Fact is, Metroid, F-Zero, Pikmin, and Star Fox all served their purpose. The sales aren't bad but not great but more importantly, new IP's show growth within the company.

Some IP's need to end in order for new ones to begin. Nintendo / Sony / Capcom / whoever, simply can't produce enough games to do both. 

*Edit: I am in the camp that agrees Miyamoto needs to retire as well



Well I hope not, I'm looking forward to see what Nintendo will do incorporating the gamepad with the game.



i can see metroid and fzero being next gen. i also can see nint announcing there next machine at e3. AMD says they re producing a chip set for a system. no new mario this gen and zelda will be out by the end of the year. a big mistake releasing another system so early.



2016.
or 2017 released on both wii U and next home console.

I know a lot of people want a new FPS Metroid made by Retro for Wii U
But I honestly want a new 2D game for 3DS, the last 2D Metroid was Fusion from 2002 right?

you mean "the first fps", right? metroid was never fps, except maybe, hunters.

I think a 3d console metroid + 2d handheld metroid combo is possible, like prime and fusion.
