I gotta disagree. There's clearly a market for it if people are asking for it. Problem lies in figuring out if it's a vocal minority asking for it, or if there's genuinely demand for an F-Zero enough to make the risk worth it. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if F-Zero is shelved completely, at least for a while longer.
LOL, I was just about to make a post like this.
You're not daydreaming and this could support your opinion:
Your discription brought a tear to my eye. Not really, but you understand the sentiment. I'd love for a SF game like that to be announced.
People asking for it on the internet doesn't necessarily mean it will sell though. Talk is cheap. To my recollection the F-Zero series has never sold particularly well. And I think Mario Kart's success just about finished it off.
This is true; but franchise fatigue is going to set into Mario and Zelda soon enough. I mean, they have to expand. If they actually did some interesting things with F-Zero and marketed it, it would be as profitable as they expect. Which isn't really that profitable, but most Nintendo IP that isn't Mario/Zelda/Pokemon have trouble breaking any records as it is. I mean, one million copies from all of the hype Smash can induce is a reasonable prediction that would make it "worth it."
Although fire emblem doesn't have any competition, nitnedo doesn't really have any other tactical RPGs
Nintendo also doesn't have any other arcade style racers.
But they do have racers, one that even has antigravity and will be more popular than every f zero game combined
I'm still mad Falcon wasn't in there. He's first party, why not? We had ROB in MKDS...
That would be extremely wierd but I'd give anything to see falcon in the biddy bud
One of his jump taunts could've been the classic "Show me your moves" salute. Nintendo would've had my money...i mean, they will anyways, but y'know...
But they do have RPGs, so I'm making the same point you did. Tactical RPG is a specific sub-genre that Nintendo has only 2 series for (and Wars is as different as you can get in the genre), as is F-Zero. F-Zero appeals to different people, and will gain sales in places that Mario Kart probably would not.
Didn't the Blue Falcon show up in MKWII as a light weight car?
It did, but that's hardly the same as the man in blue himself showing up.
I'd add DK to that list. Consistently DK has sold well.
I think that might be the best way to reboot F-Zero. It could have either a side mode that is just racing like the old games or just work a bunch of races into a story mode that focuses more on the bounty hunter portion of his description. Either way, by taking the focus off just racing, it would bring something new to the series, but leave its core still intact.
I actually hope his design is more in line with his modern model, but only if his voice isn't the same.Captain Falcon and Ness share a special connection with Smash Bros. Even if they never get any new games, they will live on in Smash Bros, they're just Smash Bros family! As for new games, F-Zero could still be around even with Mario Kart being a thing. I imagine it appeals to more "hardcore" players with its music, designs, no item usage, and such. They're very different and it wouldn't be so bad to see it come back from a business standpoint or otherwise.
As for the Shulk thing! It IS very interesting that his anniversary is June 10th! I imagined him as a secret character, but what I imagine more now is them showing a trailer for his new game "X" and then later we get a trailer in Smash Bros featuring the one and only! But I also expect to see Pac-Man, Miis (maybe) , and a fourth person like Palutena just to keep it an even number. Maybe just Shulk and Pac-Man?
As for Pac-Man... I saw a video of his new game just to get an idea of what he's like and gosh, he seems like... they make it so you kinda wanna accept him as a man, but he has a little kid voice?? I don't quite get it. Hope they go with this Pac-Man instead, though they probably wont since that doesnt make sense for marketing:
Yeah, I'd be fine if he just didn't talk like most others, but if he has to, his SFxT voice is alright I guess...?
As long as Namco helps out with it too....
Yes. Yes... I feel that particular partnership will make this game more amazing than any side Pokemon game I've ever played.
So basically everything that is already in development?
I would say, "same here" but I played all of the Mortal Kombat games when they were on their weird obsession with 3D fighters. That being said, I definitely intend on getting ANY Pokemon fighting game. I mean, that would be like a dream come true.
The only Mortal Kombat game I've played is MK9.
From what I'm going to assume. I think titles such as Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS are probably close to completion, whilst maybe new Nintendo IPs are probably still in development.So basically everything that is already in development?
I wonder if the Wii U's price will drop once again.
