Wishful Sequels

Quote (Leon)

That's why I propose more classic games revived the way of Megaman 9. Kirby Superstar 2? Another, new contra in the style of the snes ones? Maybe more Castelvania :'D?

They're already making a Kirby Superstar 2, idiot. Kirby Superstar Ultra, a remake of the original for the Nintendo DS. Get on with the program, you pathetic loser. D:<

I have to speak out against turning good, classically 2d games into 3d. Most of the times it goes horribly wrong, and the "new, improved" 3d game sucks far worse than it would have in 2d. Clunky camera, low quality models. Unoriginal level designs...

I'll have to disagree with you there. Some of the greatest games of all time were from the initial 2d to 3d jump, Like Zelda: OoT, Mario 64, DK64, Metal Gear Solid, and, like you said, MML.

I didn't realize that "remake of original" = sequel. Silly me.

And while yes, some jumps form 2d to 3d have been good, I can think of a great deal more that were not. Earthworm Jim 3d? Megaman X7?

Well, they ARE adding some new stuff.

I could also point out to you that the ratio of good 3d games to bad ones is much, much better than the ratio of good 2d games to bad ones.

The way I see it, there are good games, and there are bad ones. Sometimes, even with sequels, you can get bad ones, (like X7) but usually they are isolated incidents, (for example, X8 was pretty good).

Of course, sometimes it's an Earthworm Jim, and it kills the whole series. <<

I've heard rumours that they're working on a new Earthworm Jim game though. 2D gameplay.

I think the ratio of good 2d to good 3d would be swayed slightly by the fact that a lot of games these days (excluding portables) are 3d. So yes, with a larger base to pick from, You're probably bound to have more good 3d than 2d, if not for the fact that a few crappy 2d games would ruin the ratio, while the 3d genre could take a dozen or so crap games to fall the same amount.

But maybe I just miss the days of the NES and SNES, when gameplay was simple and fun, and there had to be actual gameplay and story instead of pretty graphics. I'm not a fan of having over 9000 guys fly at me, trying to disembowel me in a single hit, from every angle known to man. Just doesn't strike me as fun.

Ya know what'd be kool? Release a new game for the Snes. They'll be like, "Hey check it out! Time to take your snes and... oh wait! You don't have it anymore do you? Shouldn't have had that garage sale bitch!"

I still have my SNES and like, 10 games. :'D

I know it died out...but still....

THEY NEED A NEW MONSTER RANCHER GAME. I still play my old copy of 2, Im too attached to my mustard arrow (arrow head + suezo fusion), and I keep replaying my old save over and over.

needs moar monsters...with more possible fusions, as long as they dont go too far... a moochi/suezo combo would look like an alien teletubby....

mario and luigi woudn't...

wario and waluigi would!

may I propose, Waluigi's masion! XD

Yeah, Waluigi definately needs his own game. STOP FREAKING PARTYING AND PLAYING SPORTS AND GET A JOB YOU LAZY TOOTHPICK!

AND STOP STEALING MUSICAL ORBS THAT HAVE NO SIGNIFICANCE IN THE MARIO WORLD

As if a galaxy does... The Mario World changes a lot. There are mulitple alternate dimensions of the Mario World.

I liked the original for the psx most. They need to update it with all the new monsters form the various games, plop you in as a newb rancher in one of the leagues (which you can choose, and determines which monsters you can get easier and which expeditions you go on most often, etc.), and get some online battles and such going. Twould be fun, and beat pokemeon to a pulp.

Preferably a multiconsole release, with play between them possible.

And maybe world peace and a cure against all diseases.

Heck yeah. The 360 could totally cure cancer. And PS3 could go for AIDS. The Wii... well... it cures problems with getting it up, if you catch my drift.

But really. Why not? Phantasy Star online and FF11 can be played together from a PC and a PS2. Expanding the player base by adding more options for people would seem like a logical step towards profit, which, lets face it, is the bottom line.

I've always said that each company is supporting their greatest assets...

Nintendo is going for fun and unique games with an innovative play style...

Sony is going for uber graphics and deep, almost cinimatic storylines...

And microsoft, instead of spending an extra 5 bucks to fix the problem with the system, instead opts to install a 5 cent feature that simply tells you when your system becomes a paperweight...

Personally, I want the old style zelda's back, like zelda 3 (LttP(Link to the past)) in a 3D style. they used to have tons of creative dungeons, each with their own unique challenges. I that game alone, they had

- an Ice dungeon, where you couldn't run easily without hitting spikes
- a Lava dungeon, where the pipe system was a huge pain to get the shield, plus needing to have 3 magic bottles/potions just to kill the boss
- a water dungeon, where you could only use 3 weapons most of the time
- a desert dungeon, that starts off with a huge gauntlet of giant boulders in a narrow hallway
- another desert dungeon, with hundreds of enemies burrowing up directly under you including the bossES
- and 7 other dungeons, and two I'm counting as one cause you go through it a second time, but a completely different part....

OoT, 11 dungeons, nice variety...

then came MM and screwed everything up...

MM 4 dungeons, 5 if you count the moon as a dungeon, which it kinda does, except you can skip 90% if you want.

Swamp, ice, water, mountan/desert...

you could say, "they were tight for memory, cause of the time thing". No, true fact, they wanted to capitilize on the success of OoT, so they created a 'parrellel dimension' to speed up production time by reusing all the models from the last game and used the 3 day plot as a way to not need to animate a huge story or even come up with a huge plot twist...
no, finding out the mask was evil wasn't a plot twist cause the mask dude told you before you even got to the game...

Anyways, WW, 8 dungeons,

fire, forest, ancient temple, graveyard, indoor field, ganon's weak temple, ganon's weak temple with no weapons(props to that, really switched up gameplay, deserves to count as it's own dungeon), and ganon's super stronghold, with every other boss in it. as far as I go, a decent number of dungeons, nice varierty, and especially considering that there is no features in the geographical features in the game...

at all...

except for islands that actually couldn't support even 2 of the people living on them...

TP, 4 dungeons...

swamp, ice, sky and one I don't know, also ganon's final place, but I haven't seen the whole thing, so it might just be run up the steps and fight him...

I hear people say, "But the dungeons are bigger than ever!", cowplop. I you were at a zoo, and they only had 4 types of animals, it doesn't have the flavor as a zoo with alot more. just cause they crammed 200 monkeys in the monkey cage, doesn't mean it's better than an exibit with 5 monkeys, but has alot of OTHER interesting things to see...

[/rant]

sorry, I just want to see a zelda game with more variety, bring back the epic and wildly different puzzles. I want another zelda game that actually ships with a "ultamite secret book"...

Niax?

There were 8 dungeons in TP.

Forest, Water, Fire, Desert Fortress, Time Temple, Ice Palace, Sky Castle, Twilight Palace.
And Ganon's place, but that's really short.

8 dungeons, Niax. >_>

<(Edited by Phoenix. Palace of Twilight's a dungeon too.)>

I defy your logic with weasels!

Phantom Dust. Though there's not much of a plot anymore since Edgar died.

KOTOR 3. Because I want to see Nihilus revived like Darth Krayt asked him. I also want to see Revan and the Exile team up. Apparently, there's an 89 or 98% chance of it being made. So I'm currently freaking out about it.

They're making Animal Crossing: City Folk for the Wii. : D
