I think Kirby is a strong testament to this argument. There have been some good ones but they're just good.. not great(with the exception of some remakes). The Kirby series in general needs a slight revamp.. then and only then can I say that Nintendo has a legacy of making great platformers.

The best "revamp" Kirby got was Super Star. For some reason Nintendo/HAL refuses to stick to this formula. On one had I can't fault them for changing things up and being experimental with the games to keep the series from becoming stale, but on the other hand I can't help but feel like Super Star is superior to everything that came after it (Kirby 64 in particular).

And theTC's question is silly because it's been answered by Galaxy. The only thing that can top Galaxy in the near future is a Galaxy 2.

in The past Decade Nintendo has been making great platformers, Selectively the Mario franchise , butt do you think nintendo will ever run out of these marvelous idea's for platformers, or will nintendo continue to make good mario games and etc.. or have the idea's run dryy, Sorta like pokemon names xD, You guys decides, what will be nintendo's fate

 

You failed to notice that the decade you speak of started in the early 80.... DKong SMB .... Nintendo has always done the best platformers, they are the master of the genre...for 30 years, not 10.

Yes. They haven't made a main-series Mario platformer that deserved less than 90% in a review. I thought Sunshine was fantastic.

Even Super Mario Galaxy 2 would be great at this point, because the gravity mechanic still hasn't been fully exploited and the setting allows them to have very varied levels. But I don't think Miyamoto would settle for that.

Watch this, its a lecture on Mario 64 and why Nintendo are so innovative. This, along with the fact that no other platformer will survive long enough, are reasons to see why their platforming legacy will remain



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

They hopefully will, providing they can come up with loads of new crazy ideas to spice it up. Come on Nintendo, I believe in you.

I sure they will,I am hoping for the announcement of Super Mario Galaxy II this E3.



megaman79 on 03 May 2009

^ Thats what ign is saying. Last podcast, they said it would make perfect sense to keep the same dev. group working on a sequel and this E3 would be good timing for an announcement.

SMG 2 won't release until fall2010/2011. Look at SMG 1, there is a huge work behind it. Even if they have the 3D engine, it will took a lot of time to make a new game; moreover, Nintendo won't risk to spoil their biggest franchise (or second one, behind Pokemon).
