Crazy Idea: Legend of Korra by Nintendo :-) - Wii U Forum

While my love for the Avatar universe is evident from my profile pic, Nintendo (for many many reasons) should make something crazy to shake things up. Like a licensed Legend of Korra game with the show's writers and voice actors fully implemented. If you're anything like me, your Super Nintendo VC wish list doesn't look all that different from your Wii U wish list. The games are all still fun, but that's still a problem. And if I were to skip the Wii U and get the Wii 3, I think my wish list would be mostly the same. Nintendo's last real meaty intellectual property was Pikmin which was to two console generations ago. It's all very sad in my opinion. Nintendo was quoted as recently saying that perhaps it's time for a new IP – you think!? How about a bunch of new IPs, how about a new crazy idea? Here's one right here: The Legend of Korra by Nintendo and Nick. Give me something to make me put down The Last of Us. That was a new IP that took hold of me in a way that Uncharted 4 never could. In the NES and SNES days I always had something new to experience. One could say that Nintendo has plenty of properties to work on as it is, but in reality its playing it safe, its all going to homogenize the Nintendo experience if they don't start coming up with new interesting ideas. Things like New Super Mario Bros. or Yoshi's New Island should have never of received the green light. That's what the Virtual Console for. I'm not saying those games are not fun or anything, I'm just saying what if that was at the expense of a really interesting new game? Make Mario, Zelda, Metroid, ETC, but make them in new interesting ways or make new IPs. Don't just retread. Nintendo says resources are limited in the high end voice acting / quality story heavy / internet connected / HD era (that you have been avoiding and are sorely out of practice with) and they're collaborating with outside studios more and more to get their same old IPs made. Great, now do new things. Take a crazy idea and run with it like a Legend of Korra game. This would be good for Nintendo in numerous ways. Having trouble creating a new IP with quality voice acting and writing? Borrow one to cut your teeth. Then used what you learned to make a new Legend of Zelda game that will blow me away and make me forget about my PS4 for a while. Now I'm not saying that I don't enjoy Nintendo games as they are. There is something special about Nintendo's games - nobody, I mean nobody can do the things they can do. But I am confident in saying that Nintendo is not living up to Nintendo's own potential. And they have gotten mighty comfortable... time to think outside of the box. They could take down Giants of gaming if they did. What do you want? Another round of Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario delivering pizza? Or Legend of freaking Korra?! How cool would that be?? How many consoles do you think that exclusive would sell alone??

Well perhaps another developer. I was thinking who could do the gameplay the best... What about Atlus? A fighting RPG story game like Persona 4: Arena would be cool.
