I think Nintendo needs to focus more on creating new IPs than bringing back dormant ones, unless they're going the Kid Icarus Uprising route with something like Star Tropics.

@IceClimbers I can't see them doing more then one new ip a year (and those can be hit or miss, the jury will be out soon on Arms) so that's when the dormant franchises need to come back and yes, Uprising would be most appreciated!

@Spoony_Tech When I was saying about Fusion, I wasn't talking about 2D but rather the themes. Prime style visuals and controls combined with Fusion style themes could do a lot for the Switch.

@BiasedSonyFan While I do agree with you but if 1/2 Switch released when the system was established say a little over a year from now then we wouldn't see anywhere near those sales. 1/2 Switch sold for the lack of games more then anything.

Let's also not forget Zelda had nearly a 1 to 1 attach rate and people that wanted a second game to go with their new system had very little choice of anything else.

@Grumblevolcano I think you're overestimating the impact of Eternal Darkness. It's the same with Beyond Good & Evil. Those games sold jack back in the day, and outside of a very vocal core following on the internet, I doubt many people will care about those games. I'm sure they'll do better than what the originals sold, but I wouldn't say it's more important than Metroid. A franchise that is played by more people, and has sold way more copies than those two games combined. Of course, I'd like to see all of them personally, but I just think that a new Eternal Darkness won't have the impact some people expect it to have. It would basically count as a new IP at this point.

I do agree about diversifying the library, but you also need to remember you can't do that with one game. That's sort of Nintendo's approach in the past; ''we've got a racing game, Mario Kart, we don't need F-Zero''. I feel that it's a lot more important to double down on genres to make sure that there are games for fans of those genres to buy. Even if Capcom brings RE7 to the Switch, I still think it's important we see more horror games.

@Spoony_Tech Speaking of reviving IPs. I've always been clamoring for a Platinum Games made Murasame Castle sequel/reboot/remake. Now I remember From Software on that list of potential developers. Now that's something I'd like to see! From Software Murasame Castle.

@BiasedSonyFan Dozens on the shop yes but retail no. If you go to the store today you will see 4 to 5 retail games. A month ago that was 2 to 3.

@Octane Well it's sometimes important to consider subgenres, especially racing for example can kind of be split into 3:

  • Futuristic (e.g. F-Zero, FAST, Wipeout)
  • Simulation (e.g. Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo, Project Cars, main F1 series)
  • Arcade (e.g. Mario Kart, Forza Horizon, Diddy Kong Racing, Crazy Taxi)

So I don't agree with the "we have Mario Kart so no reason for F-Zero" idea that Nintendo has but maybe letting Shin'en get involved could work nicely, after all the best game in the F-Zero franchise so far was a collaboration title between Nintendo and SEGA (GX).

This is probably just a typo but NoA twitter may have just leaked the 2018 Fire Emblem game!

"Fire Emblem Echoes: Path of Radiance"

And that's why they mentioned the Echoes title being used later

I think that's most definitely a typo, they're not that stupid. On top of that, it doesn't sound like the new FE game. It's just a combination of Echoes and Path of Radiance.

@Octane Well Nintendo said that name of the Gaiden remake is Shadows of Valentia and that Fire Emblem Echoes could be the branding for a series of Fire Emblem remakes. It would make sense to remake the Tellius games or at least put them on VC given how insanely expensive they are to get on their original platforms. I would've expected Genealogy of the Holy War, Thracia 776 or Binding Blade to come next as they are Japan exclusive and no remakes have happened (Mystery of the Emblem had New Mystery of the Emblem despite that being Japan exclusive too) but Path of Radiance would be nice too.

@Grumblevolcano
All of what you made makes perfect sense... except for one crucial detail.

When Nintendo announced Fire Emblem Switch, they specifically stated a "brand new game" in the Fire Emblem series, and the return of the series to console for the first time in a decade. A remake doesn't sit very well with making a return, and it wouldn't be a brand new entry either.

That's not to say they couldn't also have a remake in the works. That's entirely possible

@Grumblevolcano I thought the 2018 game was a new one, not a remake. Still feels like a typo though, why would the marketing team over at NOA already be aware of title of the new upcoming game?
