Forums - Nintendo Discussion - A Bowser Spin-Off?

Shiken on 18 April 2018

Yes, that would be awesome. I would not mind a Ganondorf spin-off either. For instance, Ganondorf's rise to power over the seven year time skip in Ocarina of Time.

Excellent idea! Would be great to play as Bowser. My take would be similar to Wario land on the GC where it's completely Bowsers' world, his own world with no Mario and different enemies. Also, the beat 'em up style gameplay instead of platforming would be a good idea.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

It does seem like it could be an interesting game, however I don't know if that's something Nintendo will ever do.

You didn't really specify what type of game this would be. Did you have a platformer in mind? Would it be 2D or 3D?

I like this idea. Bowser is world-renowned and yet he's never really had his own game. Platformers tend to have agile characters that can move quickly, so Bowser doesn't seem like the best fit for that type of game, but maybe a beat 'em up of some sort.

Earlier I thought maybe it could be an over-the-top brawler, where Bowser would use actions similar to his Smash Bros. moveset to destroy anything in his way. Think of it as like The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, but the ultimate goal is to have Bowser succeed in a new evil plot, or to take out a new villain like I said earlier.

I always wanted to know how Bowser is able to get to the castle before Mario does lol  He must have some secret tunnel that goes to the end of each castle and knows which castle Mario goes to lol (At least in the first game)

Made more sense in SMB3 where he had his kids in each castle lol

And the fact that he has kids, where's Mrs Bowser??  Why is Bowser Jr the only one that looks like Bowser?  I think Mrs Bowser cheated on him cause the other kids dont look like him lol

Those were the things I thought of growing up with Nintendo/Mario lol

That's something else I'd like to see as well.

Agreed, as a brawler would work best for Bowser's violent temperament.

Yep, lol and definitely no Mario in it. I wouldn't like it to be a "Mario game in reverse". I also loved Wario's piledriver move in his Wario land game on GC. "Have-a-rotten-a day!" Lol. Bowser could have a similar attacking style.

A 3D tower defense game where you have to prevent the Mario Brothers from reaching Princess Peach, who is being held hostage above some lava pit.

In SMB the "Bowser" at the end of each castle is not real Bowser, but one of his minions disguised. You can see it by defeating Bowser with fireballs instead of throwing it to the lava.

I would love a 3D Bowser Platformer/Action game

Everyone kinda knows that now. XD

Seemingly not the user I was answering to

Sure. Sounds good. I'd likely pick it up, if it was in a genre that I enjoy. Of course, I picked up most Nintendo games that are in a genre that I enjoy.

If we're voting on the type of game, I vote for an action RPG.

God I hope not. I hate how Nintendo has turned all their "bad guys" into likable buffoons. When I was a kid in the 80's, King Koopa was still an "evil wizard" who brought fear and torture to the people of the Mushroom Kingdom. Now, he's just some fat oaf that has a crush on a princess and a bunch of equally goofy kids. He's more comic relief than threat.
