I'm pretty sure XenoBlade is a Nintendo IP. I'm not sure about last Story but it might be too.

There's Disaster: Day of Crisis but that game needs to be rebooted to be worthwhile.

Then there's Pandora's Tower.

It would be nice if Nintendo bought a couple of small, talented devs or created one or two new ones.


Regardless of the "Nintendo rehashes old IPs all the time" argument you hear so often, they always make new IPS every generation. Even on their handhelds.

I don't think next gen will be any different. We just have to see what we get.

Pandora's Tower was developed by Ganbarion. Not Nintendo. Unless a game is developed by a group in Nintendo or one of their first-party developers (Monolith Soft, Retro, Brownie Brown, Intelligent Systems, Project Sora, ND Cube and Hal laboratory) then it can't be considered a Nintendo IP.

I voted for something completely crazy, an intense platformer... yup.

A gritty RPG with mature characters could really give us something fresh and less predictable.

You know, I think you're really right about this. People tend to think of RPGs as either very cartoon-y (or at least very stylized), or as RPG-lite (like Mass Effect, which really doesn't deserve the word RPG appended to its action genre category, IMO). Even something like Monster Hunter is far more action game than RPG.

I would LOVE to see a gritty, brooding RPG with tons of atmosphere and deep character development. I think it could be awesome.

That's not really true.

Metroid Other M for example wasn't developed inside Nintendo. That doesn't mean it's not a Nintendo IP.

Nintendo can co-develop/publish IPs with devs outside their company.

Yes, but Metroid is Nintendo's franchise.

Publishing a game does not make it your IP.

Exactly. A whole new cast of characters that a mature audience can come to love. Mario speaking gibberish and prat falling doesn't appeal to the more mature audience out there.

What does IP stand for?

[Play4Fun]

Yes, but Metroid is Nintendo's franchise.

Publishing a game does not make it your IP.

The point is an IP doesn't have to be developed by a first party studio for it to belong to you.
If you have the rights for the IP it is yours but you can still have other studios (2nd or 3rd party) develop the games for you.

[Narcidius]

What does IP stand for?

Ah, my bad... forgive the "jargon". IP stands for Intellectual Property (the easiest way I know to talk about a game concept, idea, world or set of characters that a studio has developed. IP could refer to anything from the contents of a speech to the postings on a webpage to the ideas that go into a patent... but some IP is actually protected by law, even if not protected by copyright).

Pikmin was a masterpiece

[Hardcore Brawler]

maybe some third person shooter

like "Disaster" with more (and more) third person action .. but not an open world game

and some entirely new platformer games .. Wario Bros. ?


Man , I really want No More Heroes and MADWORLD and Conduit for Wiiu (no worry about NMH , but the other two?)

[Narcidius]

I'm right with you on the 3rd person action... and I don't think there's too much to worry about as far as the Conduit franchise goes. High Voltage has a great relationship with Nintendo, they like working with the company, and they're in the rare position of having a 3rd party exclusive franchise with a bit of a following on a Ninty system.

[Randomite]

I haven't voted as I don't think any of the options fit what I'd want to be honest. Anyways what I'd really like to see is a proper Driving game for the Wii U, sure there is bound to be Need For Speed etc etc, but I find them to be more Arcade type racing in comparison to the likes of Gran Tourismo and Forza. I also have nothing against Mario Kart, but that is completely differant to what I would like to see.

Super  Mario 2


If they release a Super Mario 2 ( The new series announced on the 3DS ), I hope it's merging the 3d with World this  time. And with the cape, all levels designed flyable, secret platforms  with secret keys to those secret keyholes and areas. It would be  amazing. Just think about it, the "hub" can be like a small world with  "teleport pads" becoming available, castles to look for the princess in,  different ones, when you've done one castle, a new mini area becomes  available (hub).

Right now, I'd wish I was in the devteam for Super Mario I have so many ideas.

The first 4 levels before  the castle, you don't get the feather, but yoshi, but after completing  the first castle (of many) At the first level, there's a feather, and if  you manage to keep it through the whole level, you also have the cape  in the hub, and you can go back to the levels in the first area and get  to secret places. Imagine  having all levels designed for flying, the  hub is like a miniature world  with teleport pads for entering the  levels. Different castles to open  up new parts of the hub. Secret areas  in many of the levels, some only possible  to get to with the cape (Or blue yoshi),  flying upwards to a secret platform with the  secret key and keyhole.

Oh and bringing back the spinjump to the A button.
I really want that!

Randomite, you simply want a driving simulator

Yes I do, it's kind of a niche market but driving simulators seem to be becomming more popular as the gaming industry progresses.

A Horror game would be nice, Miyamoto has often stated that he's fond of ghost stories. I'd also like to see a hack n' slash game similar to Devil May Cry/God or War/Bayonetta, Project H.A.M.M.E.R was supposed to be that and Pandora's Tower is kinda that but not really.

Other than that, A sandbox action game, I'm actually sick of seeing too many of those kind of games this gen but I'd like to see what Nintendo could do with a concept like that.

[DaPimpJ]

I too would like to see a hack n slash or sandbox game from Nintendo

Yeah, this seems to be a big gap in Nintendo's franchise library... I'm not personally into the hack n slash genre, but I think it would be good for the system to have a solid entry or two for both genres. I LOVE sandbox games, and have also noticed a conspicuous lack of true open world games on the Wii. I think that big Nintendo fans would really eat up a good open world game.

Isn't that Pandora game hack N slash?
