My guess is that the team didn't feel like Captain Falcon fit the general feel of 8, or decided they didn't want to shove him into either the Zelda pack or the Animal Crossing pack, or both. Either way, I have faith that F-Zero will return. When, I don't know. But soon.
To me it's silly how mk8 brought f-zero tracks, the BLUE FALCON, and then thought it was a good idea to put captain falcon on a sign
Yeah, it really does feel like F-Zero kinda got the shaft in 8. I'll bet we seem for real soon though!To me it's silly how mk8 brought f-zero tracks, the BLUE FALCON, and then thought it was a good idea to put captain falcon on a sign
I honestly feel bad whenever i drive the Blue Falcon. Because it's like "I'm driving a dead man's car."To me it's silly how mk8 brought f-zero tracks, the BLUE FALCON, and then thought it was a good idea to put captain falcon on a sign
Well, Skyward Sword (and Breath of the Wild)'s cartoony aesthetic fits in more with Mario Kart, as opposed to the sorta realistic style of the more recent F-Zero games, at least in my opinion. But yeah, Captain Falcon should've been in the game anyway.
Yes, because a guy in tights that shouts his attacks and has a a phrase "show me your moves" is incredibly realistic and edgy.
Yeah, remember when we couldn't think of anything?
People have been clamoring for Isaac too long for him to suddenly bomb in the one poll that actually mattered. If Dark Samus managed to get quite a lot of votes amongst the Metroid fandom that was split between the enormous support for Ridley. Then Isaac as the main protagonist had all the support of the entirety of the Golden Sun fandom behind him (there was probs some votes for Felix/Matthew too, which only helps the Golden Sun series in general to finally get its rep).
I want to get this thread back on track, but I have to add that I don't consider F-Zero's art style "realistic and edgy", just it doesn't really match Mario's style of cartoony. If I had to make a comparison, it'd be that F-Zero is anime-style, and Mario (and Zelda, to an extent) have more of a "Saturday-morning cartoon" style, if that makes sense. I wanted Captain Falcon in 8 as well, but I'm just trying to provide some potential reasoning as to why he wasn't.
I don't think I consider those art style to look like "Saturday morning cartoons".
I think the Mario Kart 8 team and Nintendo do like F-Zero, but are not capable of developing the game on their own. They probably thought giving the F-Zero franchise a nod would be nice.
Golden Sun may very well be coming back, but a series like it must be handled with the upmost of care. The only series I believe that may not get revived is Magical Starsign due to the falling out with the developers from the Brownie Brown group.
Fair enough. I just hope Nintendo realizes the mistake they're making and gives a new F-Zero (and Golden Sun) very soon!
I probably would.
Isn't that just flipping special then. >.> We got 2 F-Zero tracks...after 11 years.
how high did he place tho? was it only enough to enter snowglobe hell? not enough so he'll be left out entirely again?
Yeah, absolutely. Luckily for me, my current mains (Robin & Corrin), happen to fit the general archetype of Isaac: tactical swordfighters. Hopefully, he comes with some form of stage control, tying in with my planned main for Ultimate (secondary if Isaac is playable): Snake.
At least it shows F-Zero is still thought about in Nintendo's main family development team. That could translate to the Mario Kart 8 team willing to work on a new F-Zero title they would just need better direction. They would also need Nintendo to market/advertise the games.
I remember Miyamoto saying that "we should play the Nintendo Land to tide us over". But I don't think it was a good enough mini-game. (That just goes to show you how bad they've treated the fanbase so far.)
I have only ever mained Ness, so probably not.
Miyamoto has a very unpleasant way to discuss topics. Sakurai did wonder where Captain Falcon's next game was.
I'm still gonna be aggressive and disrespectful when talking about Golden Sun anyway, so it's not like the tone will change lol.
But it won't be TOWARDS other people on the thread. Please?
Monolith. But that depends if they have enough to spare.
Who would be the other 2nd and 3rd teams? Anything special in mind?
Monolith soft if they keep their grubby hands off the designs of the characters and monsters and stick to helping with the world design, like with BOTW.
Atlus would be a dream come true. Also brings back ties with sega. which would be kind of neat.
I don't think placings matter perse, not in the sense that Sakurai would only choose to make top 5 playable or something. Isaac's last game was years ago and the series is currently considered inactive, but if despite that he manages to receive a considerable amount of votes (like 2nd voted new franchise after Splatoon), and he's right behind the likes of K. Rool and some vets, that's very telling. I mean I can't really think of another new Nintendo franchise that's more wanted in Smash than Golden Sun, or as much as Golden Sun now that Splatoon is in.
I mean, the only development teams i can think of with any experience with RPG's is Greezo. Who had just worked on that RPG for the 3DS. And Hal (who someone said helped with custom robo 64)
Yes this, I've always been flexible with who I play. I mained random against my friends in brawl. I will make my playstyle adapt to Isaac.
Shocker that a business is more business-minded than altruistic... it's not worth getting too shaken up over since it really should be a foregone conclusion.Sorry to say, butN3ON might be right.
Star Fox racing has been heavily rumored.
And Mario Kart 9? Yeah, they would have Mario Kart's team just continuously making mario kart games because Nintendo just does it for money. And only money.
How spiteful and petulant it is to wish upon a fanbase a waning of titles simply because a series you like has stopped getting games. It won't bring you what you want.
Just because you think it sounds dumb doesn't change the fact that it was one of the most ubiquitously leaked games in a good while.
We probably will get a sprinkling of smaller franchises, but almost all of Nintendo's big franchises either have multiple teams or very large teams working on them so as to be able to provide regular iterations of those IPs. It's not like the Mario or Pokemon IP will get exhausted, they'll just keep putting more out. It's not like, "oh, we got Kirby. We got Fire Emblem. I guess that's it for them then." We'll just get another like two years later.
I'd say Monolith for world only. I don't want them touching character design or especially gameplay (I'm not a big of action-RPGs like Xenoblade, so let's keep Golden Sun a traditional RPG please). Maybe 1-UP studio? They did have a hand in Mother 3 (in a past life), but I'm not sure if the RPG staff is still there. Other than that, I'd bet both Bandai-Namco and Square's Octopath teams would be great choices. I wish Camelot still the talent to develop this all on its own, but they let that chance slip away. As long as the Takahashi brothers are directing, I bet it'll be great.
