The difference between mario and f-zero is mario galaxy was selling near 10million units per game. And that was the weaker mario title on the system. F-zero hasn't ever broken 2 million, and every successive game sold less than the one before.
Quote: Ten years and they couldn't come up with one idea? They don't need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to a game like F-Zero.Except, yes you do when each game that isn't "reinventing the wheel" sells less than the one before.
Quote:The studio that made GX may be gone but I'm quite sure it's possible for someone else to take on the challenge. According to that article they don't want to rely on Third Parties anymore and that's fine I'm sure Nintendo could make a great F-Zero game. They just don't want to. I get that it is not a system seller or anywhere near as popular is Mario/Zelda etc but there is a market for it.
Ok, here you go, a list of all of nintendos developers or third parties that they have a working relation with (and what they're working on , courtesy of neogaf). Tell me which one you think should do F-zero then, despite the only ones with any racer experience being the mario kart team (Obviously busy) and HAL labs, who are busy working on smash bros.
Because, I'm sure Nintendo can afford to pull people away from MK or Smash bros to work on F-zero

Quote:Waste time? They have racers, what, one? Mario Kart. So once that's released next year that's it is it? No more racing games needed for the Wii U see you next gen? F-Zero and Mario Kart may both be racing games but they are quite different. I didn't say they should drop everything now and make it right away but I don't believe at no point in the future do they have no time to make one."one". Because Nintendo are the only people who have ever released a game on Wii U. (Getting hilariously close to that, but we aren't there yet!)
Need for Speed, which is lauded as the best version (barring maybe pc) didn't happen.
Sonic all stars racing didn't happen.
Fast and Furious didn't happen.
That F1 game didn't happen.
Several other games with psuedo racing sections, including lego city, also didn't happen.
Oh, and I just found out, the only other major futuristic racer I can think of, Wipeout has been absolutely tanking over on sonys consoles too. The genre is pretty much dead in the water. (A lot like the Wii U at the moment)
Quote:What they are releasing now is hardly innovative. An HD NSMB and now 3D World, that's totally nothing like the 3D Land.I already made it clear I'm not happy with the direction nintendo is taking with mario. Taking the same repetitive direction with MORE games is your solution? I don't think that's the solution either.
Don't get me wrong, I think Nintendo seriously pineappleed up by having like 5 platformers in development, as well as at least 2 major 3rd parties working on platformers (Rayman/Sonic), especially when Sonic looks better than all of them combined.
At least we have X coming, but Nintendo should have diversified more with the franchises that'll sell some Wii Us before they move onto the more niche stuff like F-Zero, Punchout or pilotwings. As it is, they clearly don't have the time, money or development staff to even do the mario series justice with 3 clearly rushed entries out by the end of this year, they certainly haven't got time for the B list franchises until they can convince 3rd parties the wii u isn't a paperweight.
Quote:Yeah pretty sure if a pokemon snap 2 came out with the wii u, you would buy it no hesitation. Kind of like anyone else. The first one has enough coat tails for an entire generation to be dragged on.
That depends. What are we talking? An eShop game for less than £10 , I'd be interested in. It'd still be better on the 3DS. Not a chance in hell as a retail release.
The only game I think I could really get behind which would be using the gamepad as a camera is a new Fatal Frame game. Or a remake of game 1 or 3, that'd work too. Doubt they'd do 2 or 4 given they're already Wii games.
I could probably get behind an other pokemon XD type game, and genius sonority haven't done anything since denpa men 2 happened, so who knows, it could be in the works. Or it could be another crap battle revolution game, in which case I will continue to ignore it.
