Well, like Xenoblade couldn't be a new adventure? Lots of games get passed on and changed, some for the better, some worse.

Sure there could be more Mother. Without Itoi I'm not sure I would consider it "Mother" since the games are pretty much self-contained. It's not like most Nintendo franchises where they have loads of recurring characters. Each game is its own beast, with maybe a few references to previous entries or familiar faces.

Xenoblade is a good point. Would "Xeno-" really be an appropriate title if Takahashi wasn't involved? He's the only reason Xenoblade was renamed from Monado: Beginning of the World. So I think a new designer and team could (and should!) create a "Mother"-like game, but I wouldn't necessarily call it Mother.

Excellent point, but isn't that even more of a reason someone new needs to get behind the wheel?

Besides, it wouldn't be his first project that was an already established franchise without its creator (Silent Hills).

Project Giant Robot. Make it progress like Zone of the Enders, with a gameplay close to what they showed, and costumization like XCX.

That would be one hell of an undertaking, lol.

I would see him mainly making new IP, but consulting with other teams on gameplay aspects for other games. For example, a Star Fox with (limited) on-foot missions that are stealth focused with gameplay similar to Metal Gear games (infiltrate and sabotage an enemy space station or capital ship, etc). He wouldn't be the lead on such a game, but would aid in its production, lending his specific expertise where necessary.

Firstly HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
Secondly I would want a new IP, he could work with Sakurai and his team =D

Yeah, I'm kinda wanting the same thing. I think he could take Star Fox on a whole new level. It would also be a great tie in with his Fox Engine!

Talk about a bad fit. Kojima doesn't fit any Nintendo ip, he would have to make a new one... But honestly, he will most likely either start an indie studio or leave gaming all together...

What if he would be Nintendo's representative to head the new Fatal Frame entry? I also think he would work well in a reboot of Mother or Star Fox. Also, you don't think a Kojima Metroid would work? There are several titles he COULD work on.
