LOL like they weren't already for all these times!

WickedLester3724d ago

Not really. True, they have shamelessly exploited Mario by putting him in a ton of different games/genres. However when you think about so many of their other IP's that we haven't had proper updated versions of in a long while, you realize that Nintendo actually UNDER utilizes them! IP's like Metroid, Kid Icarus, Mother/Earthbound, F-Zero, Punch Out, Excitebike, Animal Crossing, etc have been lying dormant for a while now.

Kid Icarus got a hanheld game, MK8 recieved some crossover action, and Animal Crossing along with FE are heading to mobile. Then there's Metroid Federation Force... ;)

And the moment they do, non-Nintendo gamers will claim that Nintendo "milks its own franchises too much and doesn't give enough attention {Read: Money] to third parties", and use that as a reason why their latest system is supposedly failing.

Nintendo's in a lose-lose on this one. I'd love to see more of their IP's get more spotlight time, personally, but non-Nintendo gamers will always find fault with any move Nintendo makes.

I agree Nintendo does need to do more with their IPs. If l was in charge of Nintendo I'd set up a new branch that makes movies. You could even call it Nintendo Movie Studios if you wanted. After that is done I'd get Guillermo Del Toro for Legend of Zelda, Jon Favreau for Star Fox, Joseph Kosinski for Metroid and Peter Jackson for Pokemon.

I feel like Nintendo has so many great IPs and they'd be perfect for the live action treatment that l hope someday it will happen.

wonderfulmonkeyman3724d ago

I feel like most of Nintendo's IP's are more fit for animated motion pictures than live-action ones, but that's just me...
And on that note, I'd LOVE to see them make an animated TV series out of Star Fox.
That pre-release animation teaser really whet my whistle on the concept.

I think we'll see that with the Nintendo NX.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle77d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
