@rjejr Actually many didn't buy into those ports, hence why 3rd party support dropped. Of course some of those were old games, some lacked content of the other versions but then the likes Most Wanted had the best versions on Wii U and sold poorly. Quite frankly it's not worth even farting out a cheap port as those still cost more than what they would recoup.

The WIi had a huge consumer base so publishers made the effort to say put the likes of Dead Rising onto Wii...and they didn't really sell. If those didn't sell on the Wii then why on earth would they do the same with a console that will never even remotely have even a quarter of the consumer base that the Wii had?

I now want a Shovel Knight garden ornament.

They've got Ant-Man dlc planned but more likely seeing GotG doesn't feature anyone in the team I see it as a stand alone game.

@Spoony_Tech Last I heard they full movies, not like how single books are split into two. They clearly have a single story but no way would they put out a 5 hour movie.

Paper Mario Amiibos on the way no doubt too.

I don't mind paying what they ask for but they are really half arsed ...shit, not even that they are ROMs farted out with a bare bones emulator. In fact, I've injected Wii VC titles with ROMs of games not on the service and they performed and looked better with zero effort on my behalf.

Nintendo could make a killing with its own Skylanders/Disney Infinity and drive Amiibo sales even further...but then they could make a killing with various remasters, compilations etc etc. Nintendo does what it wants.

NST does the MvsDK series so i reckon this is the Amiibo project they are working on and its yet another lazy title, NST have donevfar better than this but they seemed to be reduced to MvsDK all the time or providing assistance on other games. Would it hurt to do one like the first GBA title? Or even something different or work on a franchise that hasn't been run into the ground?

@BakaKnight In terms of platformers there's been 11 in 3D (if you include 3D Blast) and 18 2D platformers. Gets sketchy of you include other genres.

@Kirk Yeah as much as I like the NSMB games they are very "cut and paste" when it comes to design for each game and graphically it's quite bland. I miss seeing Mario platforms that you could easily tell apart from screen shots because of styles rather higher resolutions . Mario Landvtitkes had such a different feel, look and character design that I was very disappointed when 3D Land turned out to be the same old thing but in 3D.

They also did a very good space/sci-fi RPG on the DS called Infinite Space in between Madworld and Bayonetta...everyone forgets that.

Super Mario Allstars is an perfect example of what they should do.

Imagine a nice F-Zero compilation, optimised version of the SNES game plus the two GBA titles (one translated) slap on HD remakes of X, GX (with AX's courses added) and a HD translated version if the 64DD game I'm sure gamers will snap it up...heck they'd take a online version of GX with AX's courses.

Or what about Mario Kart? Even if it's DD, Wii and the three arcade titles it'll sell a lot...it's Mario Kart!

Sure we'd all like new games but I'm amazed how Nintendo hardly bothers with its back catalogues, it can make so much cash to help fund riskier projects with these releases, small teams can deal with them and they wont cost much either. Look at Wind Waker HD, it had something like 6 months in development and has sold close to 1.5 million...easy money, now imagine what Smash Bros, Mario, Mario Kart and even Animal Crossing can make.

CoD is the go-to game grannies buy kids...

This guy should do the Directs Worldwide, he has a very genuine charm and shows passion just like Iwata did.

Never got into Minecraft at all but I'll happily buy Terraria again for Wii U and its spiritual successor Starbound...if the PC one is ever finished enough to get a port. Seriously if Starbound didn't delete my save when it updated I'd still be spending way too much time on it.

@Raien I'd love a new Mario Land (not 3D Land) the 2nd one was especially great as it at a lot more variety with enemies, world's etc and they played somewhat differently. When the NX launches I'm sure there'll be another NSMB but I hope they take inspiration from Land as NSMB games lack the variety I liked from the older 2D titles.

@RupeeClock Mario US could refer to SMB2 which was called Super Mario USA in Japan.

@johnodaz Nintendo have enough franchises people want to return that won't bring back, I'm sure adding to more to the mix will cause more arseache from fans.

Alternatively, I'd love to see smaller companies take most Konami and Capcom games and pass them on the the indie devs who truly understand what make these games tick.

Might as well do a "Nintendo indifferent about Microsoft Games on Wii U or NX"...I know I would be. Unlike Nintendo, Microsoft offers nothing other than the same experience s the 3rd party folk can. Sure they have Halo but I've only just learnt there was a Halo 5 out recently, so I guees people are bored with that series already.

Sony on the other hand, they always seem to have devs working on something different. Can you imagine Sony and Nintendo finally working together? Would be unstoppable.

@Yosher Whats not to love? How about two bare bones titles that looked to be rushed out quickly when Starfox got delayed.

So yeah, I got Kirby for £13 new a few weeks ago and I held off Wario because even though it was £15 I felt it was too pricey for that game. Btw Kirby is a must have if you can find it for less than £20...which anyone can.

You know what I would paid £23 on? Maybe Bayonetta 2 or Project Frame (who else is gonna buy that now?). I can't see why they haven't done regular downloadable games or Virtual Console titles.

At this stage Nintendo should be doing more for us who have stuck with them.

@Octane Sainsburys has Pikmin 3 right now for £2 more. Much rather spend an extra 2 quid for physical than less for something that I most likely won't work in the future.

Nintendo are the stingiest company going when it comes to pricing things and it people selling used games take advantage of that. Even theirs sales are pathetic.

I would have liked a virtual console sale though.

@BigBabyPeach How so? It's what he does. He does a fantastic job on all of his videos and puts a lot more research than others would, rather than just go for accepted facts but to actually look into those to see where they originated and if they are true.

@BaffleBlend Because its still incredibly good.

@Xenocity Nintendo may not spend as much as so called "AAA" titles but their stuff mostly is a lot more fun than what Activision/EA pit out AND they're but bug ridden. To me a AAA game is something like Mario 3D World or Zelda and Star Fox certainly fits in there considering the time and effort Nintendo puts in there. Any other publisher would have farted it out to meet the deadline, Nintendo would rather it's developers vision comes through.

@Folkloner Honestly I've been happy with Nintendo's out put for the rest of the year. Yoshis Wooly World was a big suprise being quite varied in gameplay and longer than expected, just finished Project Zero, Mario Maker is still getting many hours, there's various eShop titles keeping me busy AND Xenoblade CX is weeks away. A nice variety if titles that have actually kept me away from gaming on PC despite that having some big hitters of late.

Their games don't sell on Nintendo consoles. Simple as that. We own Nintendos for Nintendo games, we have second platforms for 3rd party games, I accepted this with the N64. I wish it was different but that's life.

Loved the first, normally I can't stand modern JRPG's but this one was very well made.

@Minotaurgamer Both GC Pikmin games sold over 1 million copies each on a single console that was my doing very well. Hardly a failure for such a niche title.

Pikmin 3 though, sure it's on a console that's doing worse than the GC but still it should have done better. I can't find any concrete lifetime sales (and I don't trust Vgchartz) but 2013 it was only around 200k for Worldwide sales which is poor.

To be honest I'm much happier with how things are than they were years ago. I've found NoE to be more in tune with its area than NoA. Without them we probably wouldn't have Xenoblade, Last Story, Pandoras Tower...games NoA had no intention of even touching until NoE did most of the translation work.

Sure there were a few games since the Wii era that the US had but we didn't but nothing on the level of say Earthbound. I can't say my heart aches for Excitebots...but on the whole since the Wii U and 3DS have hit has there been any Nintendo published titles that we've actually yet to have and there aren't release dates for?

Yes we could do with release dates to be more in sync but if it means better, far more faithful localisations than I'll lump the delays.

As for Project Zero...I have no idea why it's called that hear. I was talking about it to a colleague who hadn't heard of it at all and then she said it sounded a lot like this new Fatal Frame game she heard of...I know past games were called PZ but us fans know what it is whereas others dont so the name can do with being the same internationally.

Shattered Dimensions was one of the better comic book games and with more dev time could have been even better. The others clearly had to be rushed out.

@GrailUK Yup. Very good but don't expect anything near as good as F-Zero or WipeOut.

This could be much better what with less restrictions on file size and actual support from Nintendo.

Hardly anyone seems that bothered about GH Live, I still think a return for the franchise is too soon. As for it flopping badly on Wii U, well I've hardly seen it anywhere! It takes up far too much shelf space and Disney 2.0/Skylanders/ Lego Dimensions/Amiibos are far more important to retailers...all of which take huge amounts if space, shit I've seen Skylanders Wii around more than even the Xbone GH!

Because 15 is so much better....very creepy.

It'll be nice if they could reissue 3DS titles on the Wii U.Either digitally or with hardware that would play carts, that'll definitely have some kind of boost from the likes of mtse

It's such a meh release for me, seems more like an additional mode or a downloadable title so no doubt it won't be as much of a hit as the other 3DS titles. Four Swords Adventures worked so damn well (even single player) and its a shame they couldn't do a sequel to that.

They should bring platforming back to the games...actually platforming just like in the original MD/CD games. They tried doing 2D titles on DS and also Sonic 4 but essentially they were was just pressing one direction and jumping sometimes which completely misses the point. Yes, he was fast but they made him too fast and now the games are either poorly made 3D games or ones thstvare more like endless runners.

I want them to take as long as possible, even if it skips Wii U. I just want a worthwhile Zelda title, I haven't been inclined to finish any since Wind Waker, sure there's fans of the games but everything after WW has been a huge slog for me, only playing because I've spent the cash and I want my money's worth.

Seems to be an awful lot of D-grade DS titles coming the DSiWare. I picked this one up a while back $6 and its not very good and I can't say I'll ever want to play it again...one of those 5/10 sort of games.

@battLeToaD not in the least bit hard

I really hope this appears soon, would be worth the n64 points but I hope Nintendo don't ask for more like they do with some.

Nice to see Air Zonk & Ninja Spirit there.

I loved this game on the Amiga and NES but now I dont, its aged badly! Manhatten Project, Hypstone Heist, Turtles In Time and Tournement Fighters were a lot better. TMNT Movie GBA is pretty good beat em up unlike the other recent games.

Its great news but prices would be a bit steep, even some NES titles arent even worth the price.

Game packs would work very well.

Story of Thor is a fantastic game as is Vectorman, Sonic Pinball I've never liked and never saw its appeal.

Already got Vectorman on Sonic Collection but ...Thor is one of the best MD games ever so thats mine
