Give your ideas for a new First Party franchise or character and what the game and characters would be called and what the game would be about. Also state why it is a good idea.

I will post mine later because I am getting all the details ready.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Unable to think of anything original, I'd figure I would post up this incomplete document instead.

=== Document starts now ===
Kirby and the Celestial Ark

Plot

“Kirby is watching the night sky, gazing at the stars, but all of a sudden...
The stars start to disappear from the sky, blinking into darkness.
If Kirby doesn’t do something, Pop Star could be next!
Kirby gets help from his friends King Dedede and Metaknight.
Onboard the Battleship Halberd, they venture the galaxy...
To stop their home disappearing next. Go Kirby!”

Basically, a large planet system called the Celestial Ark is destroying stars and absorbing the energy of stardust, so as to power the machine. It is piloted by the K-Knights, canine warriors from some outer part of the universe.

Characters

Kirby: The Pink Puffball, and a hero of the stars numerous times. Kirby is capable of copying enemy abilities and a unique balloon flight technique, as well as a sliding tackle. The primarily used hero of the three
King Dedede: Self Proclaimed King of Pop Star, with many of Kirby’s common enemies under his command. King Dedede boasts a hammer that can perform similar effects to Kirby’s Hammer ability, but he can also throw some of his minions.
Metaknight: An iron clad blue puffball, wielder of the sword Master and commander of the Meta Knights. He also pilots the Battleship Halberd and uses an inter-dimensional cape that can transform into a pair of wings.

Gameplay

Kirby travels through 10 different worlds. These worlds are giant station spheres connected to a great fortress in the middle of the formation. Only when the 10 bosses from these worlds are defeated will the central fortress be unlocked.
A part of a world may directly connect to another world, as they are linked together in some cases. This may help the player determine where they should go.
The map is very similar to the GBA game: Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. There is a hub zone and there are no specific levels, just areas of continuity. In this case, the Battleship Halberd is the hub zone.

Kirby will be the main character of control, while the other two explore other worlds by themselves. Of course, with shortcuts between worlds present, this also means that you may encounter King Dedede or Metaknight in an area. They have specific areas that they will always show up in, so it less mobile and less random than it was with the three other Kirby’s in the Amazing Mirror.

When a partner is in the same room as Kirby, Kirby is able to do two things: a Vitality Smash and a Character Switch.
If Kirby is at full vitality, then he can combine whatever ability he is using with King Dedede’s Hammer for a sweep shot at everything in the room, or a flight dash with Metaknight. But either action will reduce Kirby’s vitality to a single bar.
If player switches from Kirby to King Dedede, they have the ability to destroy walls with the Jet Hammer, break locks and strike hammer stakes without the Hammer ability. If they switch to Metaknight, they can use Metaknight’s armour to move against water and wind torrents, as well as command the Halberd to blast something in the way.

The Battleship Halberd has a few things that benefit Kirby as well. There is a room that has all the copy abilities for Kirby, but is opened in 10 sections, each for beating a world boss. There is also another section that opens up after beating the game.
Another room onboard is where all Kirby’s treasure goes. This includes stuff like colour sprays, unlocked sounds and stamps. Trophies are also displayed here for various types of feats of completion.

Finally, there is a mini game room, in which a lot of mini games are available to play.

Kirby’s Abilities

Kirby has always used a set of copied abilities. Since this game is host to a horde of new enemies, there will be a few new abilities to grasp as well as upgrades on old ones. In addition old abilities will have a special upgrade to be found, as well as each having 2 different Vitality Smashes.
1. BEAM: Perhaps the most classic of all classic abilities. The Beam was originally absorbed through a Waddle Doo. It can be uncharged, which shoots a whip like energy from the end of a wand, or charges to unleash a great wave boom. When upgraded, the beam whips are extended and the damage enhanced, but only at full vitality.
a. King Dedede’s Vitality Smash will cause Kirby to emit a beam whip in multiple directions from his spinning body towards the faced direction. Kirby will bounce off the first indestructible object.
b. MetaKnight’s Vitality Smash will cause Kirby to point Master out front which will emit a spiralling beam in the front in a cone like fashion.
2. WHEEL: Another true classic, this ability allows Kirby to morph into a wheel, and rev through a strip of even terrain really fast. A bunny hop can be performed by jumping mid-travel. When upgraded, the jump button can be held to perform a sonic jump.
3. BURNING: Another true classic. Alterations and conjunctions between fire and burning have come and gone, but this will be one of the rare fusions. The attack button can be held to spew fire whilst standing, or the left/right button can be double tapped then followed by the attack button to perform a fireball. Upgraded, both the flamethrower and the fireball techniques can be moved up or down.
4. ICE: Another true classic, this ability allows Kirby to breathe ice out onto enemies. This freezes them, turning them into ice blocks. Collision into these blocks will cause them to fly across the screen. Kirby can breathe the freeze in an up and down direction as well. When upgraded,
5. TORNADO:
6. PLASMA:
7. LASER:
8. CUTTER:
9. MIRROR:
10. MISSILE:
11. MAGIC:
12. ANIMAL:
13. WING:
14. BOMB:
15. NINJA:
16. UMBRELLA:
17. SMASH:
18. FIGHTER:
19. THROW:
20. SLEEP:
21. MIKE:
22. STONE:
23. HAMMER:
24. CRASH:
25. BLADE:
26. U.F.O
27. SHELL: One of the new copy abilities. Much like the Nintendo iconic enemy, the Koopa Trooper, Kirby inserts himself into a shell. Kirby can defend himself whilst within the shell, and can quickly skid across the ground in short bursts. It also has a versatile attack set whilst in water.
28. COWBOY: One of the new copy abilities. Kirby becomes a lassoing menace to the K-Knights in this getup. He can whip enemies continuously, even riding the larger ones into walls with tricky bull riding skills. Kirby can also scale walls very easily both on land and in water.
29. FAN: One of the new copy abilities. Kirby carries a fan which can help Kirby in a number of ways. By sliding, Kirby strikes lightning fast in close quarter. By using the special function, Kirby can blow harsh winds in front. In the air, Kirby will whirl around to make a static tornado.
30. NEEDLE: One of the new copy abilities. Kirby becomes slightly thorny and can attack by morphing into a giant needle ball. Kirby can scale walls and cliffs by blowing air whilst puffed up. Kirby can also throw needles skyward whilst static.
31. MASTER: One of the new copy abilities. Kirby has used MetaKnight’s sword before, but not as freely as in this game. Kirby will perform multiple skills from the Blade, Cutter and Wing abilities, but a unique aero slash when the gauge is full thrown into the mix. Considerably powerful, is equal in strength to the Jet Hammer and Star Rod abilities, besting in the combo attribute. Cannot be used in Vitality Smashes.
32. JET HAMMER: One of the new copy abilities. Kirby wields King Dedede’s unique hammer, which is heavier than it looks due to all the equipment inside it. Kirby can perform the actions of the Hammer and Throw abilities, as well as a very powerful charged Jet attack when the gauge fills up, and a tricky Jet ride ability. Considerably powerful, is equal in strength to the Jet Hammer and Star Rod abilities, besting in the raw power attribute. Cannot be used in Vitality Smashes.
33. STAR ROD: One of the new copy abilities. Kirby has used the Star Rod several times before, and still remains the same. Kirby can perform the actions of the Beam ability, as well as having a Shooting Star and a special Star Crash attack when it deals enough damage and the gauge fills up. Considerably powerful, is equal in strength to the Jet Hammer and Star Rod abilities, besting in the gauge attribute. Cannot be used in Vitality Smashes.

Maybe I should finish that?

[rosemary654321]

That is an amazing idea I would rate it based on that document 4.5 out of 5.

[rtacow]

«Caten and the Castle of Sen» So basicly Caten a new elfish thing lives in the castle of Sen. Like Infamous, your actions decide where your good or evil. You would be able to vist the village in the day and the blackmarket at night. You have two friends at the very begining of the game Bin and Celshie. If you do more bad missons and actions(like visting the blackmarket) Celsnie will like you more and encourge you to do them and Bin will start dislikeing you and disagree with the plan.On the other hand if you do good missions and good deeds Bin will encourage them and like you more as a friend, Celsenie will dislike it and think your lame and boring. later in the game you be able to ethier join gangs and the villins and capture the castle or join the kings army and defend against the gangs


Its just an idea

[Feld0]

Duplicate topics merged. We had a fairly lengthy topic about a possible new IP from Nintendo complete with poll for a while now. Remember to use the search function, please!

[Merchiodos]

If Nintendo gonna make a new IP game they should make it like Zelda. Why? Because Zelda was in the medieval period. so they were no guns, they used swords. And swords are fun. They sould make the game from thier prospective what the world would look like if guns weren't made and we all used swords. The game would be like the future meets medieval and it would the game same gameplay as Zelda

[EuroShino]

Zelda would be great, but I will always hope for a true Pokemon game that is played exactly like the handhelds but on a console.

[nintendofanboy]

What about a multiplayer metroid, with the main tv screen showing the group and each handheld displaying a first person view, hope the wii u specs allow it.?.

[Eskimo_sam]

a futuristic zelda set in the future

[Auzzie Wingman]

Oh man, I totally had an idea like that. Link is a master on a DDR machine, and when he approaches a statue in a restricted zone of a park, because of "Gotta be a hero for that Zelda chick" circumstances, he gets sent into the past.

[Robotic Sunshine Commander]

narcidius i totally agree with you. the wii u needs some "out of this world" titles like the gamecube and slightly n64 had. i really think that would pull some people into playing wii u if it has unique games like eternal darkness, goldeneye, turok, etc . I also want to see a new nintendo IP that really takes into thought the wii u target audience and makes something gritty, unique , something you wouldnt expect from nintendo. This would be awesome ! Maybe like a massive multiplayer online game that has a level up system , special abilities , but not an rpg. It should be an adventure game . it might be like a zelda game where you see people walking around except those are actual players from around the world. that would be cool

[Jumbo Worm]

The Wii U needs something fresh. For example, Chibi-Robo was a unique IP that Nintendo has left behind (except for a couple of handheld games). It basically brought the perspective of the show George Shrinks, and turned it into a unique game. Nintendo really needs something new to bring to the table. Mario and Zelda games aren't going to keep them going forever.

[Crackkat]

im thinking an epic RPG with stunning HD graphics set in ancient Japan!! that would be amazing!! basically including samurai and ninjas and imperialists and stuff like that

[MartinF]

I want an Strategy or RPG game, but I think it will continue with Zelda's and Mario's (good games, but not RPG or Strategy games )

[hyp]

I'd quite enjoy an RPG simulator.

Love to see what Nintendo could do with it.

[Shokio]

I've always wanted a continuation of Starfox Assualt's concept, preferably made by Retro. The flying and ground gameplay hybrid was a good idea, it just wasn't executed as well as it could've been. The 3rd-person ground gameplay needs to be more 3rd-person shooter-ish, with a cover system and things of that nature.

A 3rd-person shooter Metroid game would be pretty sweet as well.

[Hinkik]

A mario fps lol

Everything Shokio said. The Metroid game should still have the elements of exploration that made the side scrolling metroids and Metroid Prime games so dearly loved.

[HaoSenVastForest]

I really think that something like Eternal Darkness 2 would really help Nintendo but I dont think that is what everyone wants. It sure would attract more Sony and MS bots...
