Would people really kill for them though? The last entries for those series (to be fair, on the Gamecube officially for both, though I think there was a Land-esque motion game on Wii and maybe a *DS release) didn't do amazing sales. Still, there's hope. Nintendo clearly hasn't forgotten either of them and FamiWars and Snap both came back.

At least on the F-zero front, the claimed reason no new game has come out was miamoto's autistic insistence that it needed something "new". Coming from the company that rehashes shit constantly.


"I am also very curious and I’d like to ask those people: Why F-Zero? What do you want that we haven’t done before?"

Many of the games that didnt do well were on the gamecube. The gamecube was a great console but had so few consoles sold nothing short of massive bangers sold notably. Gamers have spoken repeatedly on wanting updated games like f-zero and starfox with new content. There's nothing wrong with their gameplay or systems, we just want something NEW to play. Nintendo took this to mean making the same game over and over with new mechanics every time instead.

I honestly think, if they took the older games, updates the engines for switch, and put in new levels and content with the same mechanics as the old games theyd sell like hotcakes.
 
That rabbids Xcom clone game is a fun shooter. I've seen some of the animated cutscenes and its quite surprising to see that Ubisoft managed to make something work out of something that made a lot of people yell 'how the fuck is this going to work?". Also on the things that Nintendo can't seem to hear through their shitty autistic hearing is delivering gamers 'a proper paper mario game'. Once again, the indie scene delievers thanks to Bug Fables.

Even a simple HD port of some of their Gamecube games would be better than nothing.

There is a rumor going around that the gamecube trilogy of Metorid is supposedly getting remade for the Nintendo Switch. Except I don't buy it.
 

People give Call of Duty shit for being the same year after year, but games like Mario, Pokemon, and even Ace Attorney have the same gameplay loop and plot for decades. Why?

I'm not defending CoD per se. I'm merely wondering when was the last time Mario innovated outside of spinoff titles?

Literally the last mainline game, Odyssey. The whole capturing mechanic was never done in a platformer before (you could argue Geist was the progenitor, but that was a FPS).

Okay, let me rephrase the question. What about 2D Marios? When has the last time a Mario game changed its plot? And what about the other two games I've mentioned?

No joke, Super Mario Galaxy 1 &2 were a joy to play on the Wii. I might be speaking for myself here, but next to Super Mario Maker for the Wii U, I’d say he’s had his moments.

Pokemon and Ace Attorney changes it's plot every game as that's the nature of those game's respective genres.

Gameplay wise, PLA and soon to be S/V are taking a more open world approach to the classic formula. I wouldn't know about Ace Attorney as I only played the original trilogy and nothing else.

*Rogue Leader wasn't multiplatform.

Yeah, but I don't think the GC first party games are that fondly remembered. Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Double Dash.......do people really love any of these games? The only first party Nintendo game from the GC era that stands out to me is Wario Ware - which is actually quite fun.

F-Zero doesn't count cause it was a third party developed game.

Personally, I generally prefer most of NGC's versions of 1st party franchises over N64's, wherever there's overlap. Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Paper Mario, etc. It's a minority opinion for sure, for fair reasons.

Plot doesn't matter much in a platformer. And these days, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" rings more true than ever.

That musical level in Odyssey with Pauline singing literally made me emotional. 30+ years of Mario's legacy celebrated in an interactive love letter for Nintendo fans is nothing short of amazing.

In a time when childhood franchises are ruined, Mario still knows how to impress.

Well in terms of having no titles available, having titles that don't appeal to people etc. On second thought, Sega might have even done better than the N64. At least people still remember Saturn titles. Other than Mario 64, OOT and Majora's Mask, what other N64 titles are really remembered fondly or stand out compared to games on the GC?
Click to expand...
The N64 had better games in my opinion. It was a system with
> Super Mario 64
> Mario Kart 64
> The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
> The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask
> Star Fox 64
> Super Smash Bros.
> Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
> Mario Party 1-3
> Mario Tennis
> F-Zero X
> Pokémon Snap
> Banjo-Kazooie
> 007 Goldeneye
> Conker

I am a Zoomer who grew up on the Wii and got into game collecting through wanting GC titles after watching Chuggaconroy. Genuinely speaking, I had much more fun with the N64 games than GC, mainly due to Mario 64. 64 is just a classic console that pushed gaming forward. GC is fine, but to me, it is a middle console where Nintendo didn’t seem to know what to do with it, and many of its games were topped by Wii or 64. If anything, GC is the weird console to me as it held some of Nintendo’s most bizarre offerings be it known like Pikmin, or obscure like Cubivore. If I want mainline Nintendo IP, then I skip GC. If I want weird shit, then it is a decent console.

Whens the last time a mainline Mario game came out every single fucking year. Nobody'd care about Activision or Ubisoft running their series into the ground if they took time.

They kinda did that with the New Super Mario Bros. series. Wii added 4 player co-op, Wii U added HD graphics and Luigi as DLC, 2 was basically a coin rush collect-a-thon.

Not much difference between the two console entries. Hell, even 3D Land/World innovated the tried and tripe Mario 2D formula.
