Things I have wondered why Nintendo hasn't done

Post by Dreamer »

-Brought the MArio anime to the US
-Created a new Zelda animated series
-Created a new Mario animated series
-Approved of a hentai game for the Wii (think about it, a one-handed phallic controller would be perfect for a hentai game)
-Given a non-RPG MArio game that actually has a good plot
-Brought back the Koopalings (Superstar Saga doesn't count because it was a one-time thing, and it really pisses me off that they kicked them out of Super Princess PEach)
-Planned a live action Zelda movie with Peter JAckson or Guliermo Del Toro at the helm
-MAde a Planet of the Apes joke on the fact that the Pikmin Planet is Earth (Maybe a mini Statue of Liberty buried there)
-Respecting Rares creations for the Donkey Kong Country universe rather than pissing all over them with Mushroom Kingdom rejects (In DK Jungle Beat)

The Zelda and Mario animated shows that were here in america before, sucked pritty bad. Nintendo isn't going to take another chance financially in that direction.

Nintendo is a family oriented company. They sell to all ages. They WILL NOT submit their characters to sexually explicit situations. Why would you want them to subject such respectable characters to such dastardly things?

I don't know what Koopalings are.

There is a rumor that a script has already been written by Miyamoto for a Zelda movie, based on the Ocarina of Time game. Nintendo is a game company, so they would need a third party to produce it. There has never been any official word... but trust me, someone WILL pick it up eventually. Movie companies LOVE concepts that make money.

For Pikmin, that would be funny to see the Statue of Liberty ala Planet of the Apes. They wont do it though, because PotA is an american film.

The original writers from Rare no longer are working on the DKC projects, so it makes sense that there hasn't been a half decent Donkey Kong Country game in a long time. Still have my N64 to enjoy the classics with.

I didn't mean a hentai game involving Nintendo's characters, just a third party hentai game with Wii features. Just how sick do you think I am ?!

And also, the Koopalings are the Koopa Kids from MArio 3 and Mario World.

Oh and I forgot one thing. WHy hasn't Nintendo done a Pokemon game with battles in real time? They shoud've done that for the Gamecube Pokemon games, rather than an inferior version of the Game Boy games.

I'm wondering why Nintendo hasn't released an online version of Pokemon.

Now that would be amazing.

That's just sick. Thank God Nintendo would never do that. Besides, it'd be banned in America before you could blink an eye.

If it's this, it's going to suck -- big time.

I never said with Nintendo Characters, just that a game like that could exist on a Wii.

Sorry. :\

The real deal would look much nicer. Trust me. The franchise is already worth billions.

Oh, and I forgot to mention two more things Nintendo should do, but hasn't:

-A pokemon game with real-time battles instead of turn-based (Which they should have done for the Gamecube rather than a crappy imitation of the Gameboy games)
-A Pokemon MMORPG (Comeon, can't you see that selling into the billions?)

You already mentioned the first one.

And outwarddoodles, the first online game on the Wii is supposed to be a Pokemon game.

That's because the people at the helm have been idiots like Uwe Boll. I still think that a Peter Jackson directed Zelda movie would be awesome.

So Anubis, why don't you think that video games can't be done justice on the silver screen, even if a tallented director was working on them?

Every one fails on the translation it self.

Movies are all about watching, games are all about doing. Games and Movies are way too defferent. Trying to make it work as a movie is extremely difficult. If you revamp the story for the movie, you'll end up with something totally different than the game to begin with. Like doom, replace demons with mutants.

You can't make a movie from a game with out it becoming butcherd in th end.

This is the same reason why games based on movies suck, translating is very difficult, and is often impossible.

I've never seen it summed up better. Well put.

Because Nintendo has been recycling their old mascot games (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc.) for so long that they no longer know how to do anything else. The last original concept Nintendo came up with was Pokemon; anyone remember how long ago that was?

Ummmmmm, excuse me? What about Pikmin, Nintendogs, Elite BEat Agents and all the other new concepts introduced after Pokemon.

Amen to that.

You know, dispite the fact that what you are saying is true, Nintendo has done a very good job of not butchering the classics. Rather, the new games enhance the fandom. I've never seen a bad Zelda, Mario, or Metroid game. They're all good.

Capcom, on the other hand, has butchered their classics into ground beef. Nintendo is a saint in comparison. They have good writers, exellent gameplay designers, a powerful team of artists, and they actually LISTEN to their customer's input. (Sure, more emphasis on listening to the japanese gamers, but they still make great games by giving gamers what they want.)

I think the real classics were delivered from Rare, not Nintendo itself. Nintendo got clumsy in gamedesigning after Super Mario World 2 IMO.

For me, it was the Mario Party titles. How many did they make? Eight for just the one system?

Yeah, they're not as bad as Capcom. . . Yet.

No, I think the newest makes eight, and that was on Wii... I think. Anyway, the N64 capped it off with 3 and the Gamecube had about four more. It is ridiculous...

And as for Rare, as good as they were, Nintendo was just as good, if not better. Nintendo and Rare were an awesome team, with all of the awesome games Rare put out in that time... Rare and Microsoft haven't delivered anything that interested me, and I don't know how those things would correspond with each other, but it's an easier way of keeping track of chronology.
