View Full Version : What Nintendo should bring out
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has promised big things from the company at this year's E3 whilst declining to offer any proper information at all.
His comments came in an interview with GameTrailers TV (http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailerstv_player.php?ep=11&ch=1&sd=0). According to Fils-Aime, Nintendo has something tip top lined-up for Christmas '08: "There's gonna be a big game for the holiday that gamers will want," he stated.
"All I can tell you is what we announce during E3 is gonna be fantastic. The gamer is gonna be excited and the expanded audience is gonna be excited."
So what's so exciting, exactly? Fils-Aime wouldn't say, but at another point in the interview he did confirm that the titles Nintendo releases after E3 will be "maximising all of our key franchises". DKC please, you can keep stupid old Banjo.
So, what do we reckon? A new Zelda, mayhaps? Or maybe a franchise that hasn't seen a Wii debut yet? Or...are we looking too much into it, and is this "big game" actually a DS game?
OR...is it a release date for Smash Bros in Europe? :p
I'm so hoping this is a new Starfox or F-Zero. Will probably be a new Mario game like Mario Fishing ):
Maybe its a new
Kid Icarus game, rumor has it Factor 5 are working on it http://www.nintendolife.com/articles/2008/01/22/factor_5_working_on_kid_icarus_sequel.
Other then that maybe a new F-Zero or Star Fox game.
Or a Mario & Sonic Adventure game. One can dream.
Mushroom Kingdom Hearts? :P (I really hope not...)
well that "maximising all of our key franchises" part sound very promising.

I think it will be a Mario or Zelda game or maybe some cross-franchise game, like "Link, Luigi & Diddy Kong at the Winter Olympics"...
I was hoping for an Animal Crossing Wii title that's rumoured to come out this year, but I don't think that's what he had in mind when he said "The gamer is gonna be excited and the expanded audience is gonna be excited".

Man, I hope not. Even the rumored release in the Summer is too late. Probably it will be a new Zelda. I don't think it'll be a new Mario, since they just released Super Mario Galaxy last holiday.

Hmm, Nintendo haven't created a new franchise is 5 billion years, what makes you think it might be that? :P

How about Nintendo Party? Ya know....Link, Kirby, Samus and Mario play in minigames?
Or like SegaMark said....something new....from the mind of Mr. Nintendo! Go Shiggy!
Is it to early for a new Zelda? I remember hearing that TP was supposed to be the "last" Zelda game. Something about a "Wii-invention"...

LOL! I know all about Command but don't got it yet. But still....a console Star Fox MMO would so rock...
and the reason why I said DS v3.0....
Nintendo sent me a little survey back in January....long story short...They asked me about how much I played my GBA port on my DS...then(wait for it)
Asked if I would be interested in....a place to store music....see where I'm going?
Could just be an official mp3 player for the DS though.
Which they've already released, don't forget :p

Nah, Nintendo made it themselves, though it seems only Nintendo of Europe released it, so I dunno if Nintendo of America have their own version or not.
Interestingly, it also works with all GBA models, though it's not recommended cos it'll suck the battery life out quite quickly.
Oh right it didn't look official, so are there other versions?
What about a Wii Sports 2 has anyone suggested that? Would be nice the awesomness of Wii Sports with more game modes...or any game modes.

Agreed, a second Wii Sports would be pretty cool, with more sports in. I want Darts, Football (Soccer), Track Racing, and Sword fighting :D Sword fighting would be awesome.
Sword Fighter? Get Dragon Quest Swords when it's released :D
How are any of them other sports going to work? Just flesh out Wii Boxing and Tennis and you're finished.

Kirby Wii ("Kirby,kirbykrby, he's the star of the show")
Since im a big fan of the Pink ball i just wish they made the game earlier than later of the Wii's time of life.

This makes me think that if Nintendo buys Sega, then maybe he will help revive all the sega games that are going down, because Nintendo still has his "Nintendo stars" up and it's still on the roll, so maybe he could make the great Sega-comeback!!!

Ya know what? I think Nintendo does have a Kid Icarus title up it's sleeve. I mean, when Pit was first shown in SSBB, the creator of Kid Icarus said he loved the the character model of Pit and would like to use it in a new game.
And....remember Dead Phoenix? Rumor has it that it was supposed to be a next generation Kid Icarus...meaning Nintendo wants to bring back Pit. It'll work, right?
SSBM introduced the USA to Fire Emblem....
Alot of old-school gamers wanted Pit back...
Will he fight in his own console game?

Hmm...you sure about that? I mean, when a guy like Reggie(who is president of Nintendo of America) says things like, "maximising all of our key franchises" ya have to think...it HAS to be Nintendo's own, not 3rd-party. And I have been listening to Reggie's comments since he was first introduced to the public in E3 2004. He does drop some hints about alot of things that have come true. He's a guy that pays attention to the hardcore Nintendo fan. Why did I bold it? Remember...Nintendo On and his speech in E3 2005? So linking this dude to a game like Kid Icarus...just makes me think. Since the Nintendo Revolution...Kid Icarus has popped up again and again.
And...why not Kid Icarus? Core Gamers, Casual Gamers, and New Gamers all have responded to Pit. We hardcores remember Kid Icarus as being THE hardest game in the world! Not to mention that Myths and Monsters doesn't give Pit justice. CGs noticed Pit in the Epic success of SSBB and even though they don't know his "history," Pit has a new fanbase.
Just keep watch on Reggie...he likes to play games with the Nintendo fan...and IGN too. They have dropped something interesting (http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/845/845353p1.html). (I don't like IGN but IGN Wii always has good...info... about certain things.)
Sonic's Crossbow Training? What about Nintendo All-Stars Crossbow Training? No? umm..... Nintendo Superstars Tennis? or Nintendo Superstars Bomb Squad?
Bomb Squad? Where did that come from?
Hmm, Factor 5 will have a lot to prove. Lair was highly disappointing from what I've seen and heard, so I feel they're gonna have to pull an ace out of the hole to make themselves a big third party developer.
In an ideal world, it'd be a fourth Rogue Squadron :p

3: Kitty (LOLs at my own randomness).
4: Nintendo bomb squad? (Thinks of Mario and Link placing bombs at sides of each other to be blockaded by Captain Olimar's bomb), wow random.

Wind Waker would probably work well with the Wii, But i dont think they should do a Remake. Fire Emblem on the DS sounds interesting.
I doubt they'd remake a Zelda for the Wii when it's already perfectly playable via BC.

Here's some quick info hot off the wire! (from cubed3.com)
Nintendo will be showing off their forthcoming games to the media in the US on April 10th-11th, alongside Sega with various tidbits to discuss. Whilst major announcements are likely at E3 or later, predictions have soared for franchises making a return with the Internet community keen on a new Kid Icarus outing.
Looks like in a couple more days we'll get...something. Keep an eye on this!
Nah, we're not gonna find out this early. It won't give Nintendo anything to announce at E3, unless they have more than one big game to announce. They might tease at a reveal, and then actually reveal it properly at E3, much like Microsoft did with Gears of War 2 at the GDC a month ago.
Rev-On V5.0
09-04-2008, 17:20
Well, tomorrow's the day of that little Nintendo thing. Sure, like the Doc said, it might not be anything big but maybe we'll get hints!
Anyway, I was playing SSBB a while back and found something very interesting. It was a weird looking logo for a game I never heard of:Boundish from Digiluxe. I typed in "Digiluxe" in Wikipedia and found out that this and other logos are from a series of GBA games called "Bit Generations (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/da/Bit_Generations_Series.JPG)" in Japan. Thanks to SSBB, Digiluxe could be coming to the USA. The only thing is...I thought the GBA was dead. Am I wrong?
In other news, I'm sure you all heard that Nintendo wants to release the Nintendo Wii, Wii-mote, and Nun-chuck in different colors, right? (Like Revolution Black, Light Green, Red, Silver) These colors were show cased when the Revolution was first shown, I think. To get to the point, Nintendo's thinking about releasing the Wii and all accessories in different colors other than "iPod white."
And one more thing!!!!!
Look at this (http://img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/117767//Wii-GameCube-Controller.jpg?656771). Isn't it gorgeous!!!:wub: (sorry for bad pic, couldn't find a good one.)
Japan's so lucky!! It cost about $20 USD and has a longer length than the standard GCN controller. I hope Nintendo makes 'em for USA and Europe!
I doubt the Bit Generations games will be coming to the West. They've been out in Japan for ages, and their inclusion in Brawl was probably just an Easter Egg.
Besides, the games are all in English and are region free, so if you wanted them, why not import them? Or grab the ROMs, like I did.

Thanks again, Gavvie! (high-fives)
Anyway, the Nintendo Media Summit is today and I think...it's still going on as we speak. (anyone correct me if I'm wrong)
It seems Nintendo is taking this time to talk about WiiWare that will hit the USA soon. Up until Friday, people can demo select WiiWare titles.
Here's something interesting from IGN:
One more piece of news: Mario Super Sluggers. Coming to America. "We think that this is going to take these three wonderful areas of Mario, baseball and the unique capabilities of the Wii remote and bring them together in an exciting experience."
NOA's Bill Trinen takes the stage to chat about Mario Super Sluggers. Begins demoing the game. Previews the pitching and hitting mechanics, which are operated by the Wii remote. Gamers will pitch the ball by making a throwing motion with the Wii remote. To add spin to the ball, players simply twist the Wii remote while throwing.
Fielding the ball seems extremely simple. Bill just shakes the Wii remote and the fielders will automatically run toward hit balls. Once a ball is scooped up, he makes a throwing motion and they auto-throw it to the intended base.
Several of Bill's movements have gone unrecognized by the game. Not a very good sign.
Now Bill demonstrates the batting mechanics. When the ball is pitched, he can pull back the Wii remote and make a swinging motion to hit it. Alternatively, he can make a quick jerking movement with the Wii remote to hit the ball -- ideal for players uninterested in making grand movements to play Wii titles.
"Very simple and very approachable. It's based entirely off motion control. It's going to take the Wii Sports crowd and bring them into something that's more of a robust experience," Bill explains.
From seeing the demo in motion, we can confirm the following characters thus far: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Daisy, Bowser, DK, Hammer Bro, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Waluigi, Wario, Toad, Toadette, Shy Guy, and Boo. The two teams in play were the Mario Fire Bats, and the Peach Royals.
Trinen promises more information about the game to come -- but not this week.
Head here (http://wii.ign.com/articles/865/865699p1.html) to get the rest!
EDIT: Never mind. I think the meeting is done for the day!

Nah, it's just rumour mongering. I highly doubt the Moon's gonna have much in the way of a big new announcement, if the comments on that article are anything to go by.

I think the best rumors is about it being about Earthbound, Castlevania, Star Wars, or Star Fox. Maybe even looks like the Death Egg... I can't really see any character hints within the moon though.

I had a good look at that moon and nothing stuck out at me as any kind of hint unless they are planning a space game of some kind but nothing else.
Tails_1986

Nothing comes to mind, but since it may be hinting at space, maybe ... a new Pikmin?
Well I see something that looks like Pit in there so who knows?

03-05-2008, 18:47
Seriously, you guys have some imagination! :P Are you looking at the same picture as I am???
At first, it reminded me of a smash ball, but Brawl isn't a surprise anymore. Then, I thought of Sonic Unleashed (werewolves and full moons...), but that's not new either. Finally, I remembered the last time we tried to guess what a picture was about, a year ago (http://www.radiosega.net/forum/showthread.php?t=701). But I guess they're not making a new sequel so fast.
I ran out of ideas...
Ah, I can see the 2 :p It could be a Kid Icarus sequel, or a NiGHTS sequel.
But I can see the number 2.

Starfox! That's my bet XD Just a hunch.
And here's the pic below against the real picture.

Personally I think it's going to be Starfox, nothing really to do with the picture but the fact that all the "big guns" have been revealed, it's going to be a sequel of some sort becuase there would be no point on giving clues to somethign no-one knows about. There's been a Starfox on every main Nintendo system so far. It's either that or Pikmin. My guess anyway.
Can't see anything in that moon (except maybe that "2") but my guess is Kid Ikarus.
By the way, are there any Harvest Moon game out on the wii yet?

Yes, Harvest Moon: Magical Melody was recently released.
Here's one thing that is for certain, maximising means to make better or greater of ones own. So for certain it is not just one big game, it will be the first to start a new way of doing things at Nintendo.
I may be wrong, but regarding the Moon with the number 2 in it, could it have something to do with this (http://www.cubed3.com/news/9948/)?
Think about it..Mother 2, the 2 in the moon..hm?

I swear if Nintendo do release Earthbound on VC and don't bother to release it here I will find whoevers in charge and crack their skulls open like walnuts.
Well, the Virtual Console games do eventually get released worldwide at some point, even though America and Japan usually get them first (go figure)...

It's still "Rumor" but most people are taking it as fact. Factor 5 is in development of the new Kid Icarus game.

Hmm, another new Harvest Moon game eh? It would go well with that picture, but yeah you're right it's not that big of something since they had quite a few already. More Harvest Moons games are cool with me though! The only ones I've really played though are the ones for the SNES and PSX.

No doubt the "Big" game isn't Harvest Moon:).
What is a nintendo power? A miserable little pile of secrets!
Looks like DS Fanboy have a theory:
A quick word about the new art on Konami's Castlevania: Order of Eccelsia (http://www.dsfanboy.com/tag/order-of-ecclesia/) site for Japan -- badical. Several not-so-quick words -- we'd heard from early previews that series producer Koji Igarashi and his team were moving away from the anime character designs employed in the two previous Castlevania DS titles, but we weren't expecting the new art direction to impress us this much. Also -- hooker boots.
As for the "Nintendo Power secret" hinted in the title, look at the glowing satellite behind Order of Ecclesia's protagonist, Shanoa. Notice anything familiar? Doesn't it look like the same mystery moon (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/04/30/nintendo-power-promises-the-moon/) Nintendo Power used as a clue in the latest issue's preview page? Peer into a telescope past the post break to compare!
I think Castlevania was mentioned in this thread and the artwork on the games main page (http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/dracula_ds3/) does have a massive moon on it.
Yeah, but is a third Castlevania for DS really something to shout about?

Only if they can pull a Mario Galaxy on it, even though StarFox hasn't had many versions after Lylat Wars every game after it sucked. Command was alright but I got tired of the time limit, the strategy crap and constantly being in free range mode. Also the branching paths were a good idea but there were too god damn many of them.

Especially I hate Starfox Adventures, because it actually never was supposed to be a Starfox game to begin with. It was named "Dinosaur Planet" before, but Nintendo decided to buy the rights to it and tell Rareware to make an utterly crappy Starfox game out of it with an utterly crappy character introduction.

We're not denying that we're geeks, mind you, but considering how much money video game addicts like us pump into Nintendo, you'd think they'd try to be a bit less dismissive.

Nintendo Power's preview page for the next issue brandishes the above image and a quick prank on Earthbound (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/earthbound) fans (as if they needed more teasing): "We'll kick off the next 20 years of Nintendo Power with more big reveals, including a top-secret cover story fit for a king. It's got a lot of heart. Just kidding. It's Mother 3. Just kidding. Please look forward to it."
What could it be? A sequel to Square's lackluster King's Knight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Knight)? Even better, perhaps a remake of Capcom's Knights of the Round (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_the_Round_%28arcade_game%29)? What are your gueses?
It will be "Wii sword training" and be a great package for every day working women and men as they learn how to push aside and possibly stab other Londeners as they make their journey to work on that pesky underground. Ages 18 and up. Stock exchange reports not included.

Ha! That would work here, but with the DS on the train! :P

Kinda too obvious, remember the last one was a Moon and ended up being the new DS Castlevania that featured the Moon as a background.
It's probably the DS Fire Emblem.

Fire Emblem could be it. Over at KHInsider, they think it could be Kingdom Hearts because it mentions "king" and "heart" in the article, but doubtful. I think it could be a new Kirby game because there is King Dedede and Kirby has a lot of heart :P I wonder why they would tease about Mother 3 though..

A new Kirby game is confirmed, but its for a summer release I think :unsure:
Don't think its the 'Big' game, I'd be kinda disappointed if it was =[

Also, KH Insider sucks a lot and so does Kingdom Hearts, especially with fans stating suspections like the above. Seriously. "Oh, the article has the letter F, Z, E, R and O in it, it must be a new F-Zero!"
*rolls eyes*

Or it could be Chrono Trigger for the DS, since we saw it on the other thread.:biggrin:

Probably because they're dicks and know everyone wanted their last crappy "exclusive" to be Mother related.
But yea alot of people are saying Kingdom Hearts, I don't think we need waggle in its combat though. Waggle till you get RSI is not better than bash at X till you get bored and play a game with some challenge... any challenge.
Could be Chrono Trigger, I would say that the sword isn't really right since I don't think any western swords were in Chrono Trigger, but I doubt that would stop NP.
Edit: Actually I think the game had Excalibur for Frog. Still say it's Fire Emblem though.

Kingdom Hearts would be very, very lame :( it was a semi-decent game, blown out of the water by the sheer fanboy/girlisms

Oh I think I got it! It's not exactly a new revalation but it could be the new Tales of Symphonia: Dawn Of The New World game, it's just been released in Japan and is selling very well, could be the fact it's coming over here that's the news as it isn't planned yet.

Possibly...would their big christmas release be something that's already in Japan though? It'd alienate them a little..

I think E3 will show Nintendo still have a few suprises, I wouldn't be suprised if there's a Star Fox game or Pikmin game. Now thinking about it I don't think the game is Tales of Symphonia, still it would be nice if it does come out here.

I'm so glad you were joking. Trauma Centre is so hard >_<.
I would bet on it being a new Star Fox or Pikmin game too seeing as they were both in Brawl. Unless they have some new big Mario game planned but I doubt.

No it won't that was apparently one of their "big exclusives" that turned out to be old news. Also why would Nintendo Power mention EU releases?

You tell me, I don't read Nintendo Power, sounds like a crap magazine.

It's an American Nintendo magazine, not much else to say really. Their last announcement was pretty freaking awesome though.

To be honest no matter what Nintendo announce now they don't stand a chance of beating Capcom. Though it'll be better than what Konami are making on the Wii. >_>

Capcom are bringing Mega Man 9 to the WiiWare in glorious 8bit. Konami are making a shitty 3D fighter based on Castlevania.
I want a new F-Zero
I want it so fast it makes my eyes bleed and so fast I can't see what's happening

I miss the days when games ripped each other off shamelessly :( you could own an xbox and play an F-zero clone, it wasn't the original, it played pretty much the same way, I enjoyed that =3 but now they're all trying to create their own things...rip each other off dammit ><

Rip-offs and clones can be quite funny when you see what they replaced the cars or characters as XD.

That was a long awaited rumor to be true, but I still don't think it's the BIG game. But for our relief, E3's coming up in a few weeks and THEN we'll know what is the BIG Nintendo game we were talking about. I hope it's a new Animal Crossing too.
EDIT: E3's in 5 days, my bad on the weeks XD

Didn't they pratically announce one before the Wii came out? God I don't want another Animal Crossing that game is crazy addicting. >_>
Maybe the 'big' game will be Wii Sports 2 :P
Maybe the 'big' game will be Wii Sports 2 :P
I'd buy it, especially if it had wifi Wii Boxing. :D

But I'm like 70% sure it was announced..
I'm sure nintendo said there would never be a sequal to wii sports.-_- Which would probibly why other companys are making their own crappy sports games.
Well id like to see a new F-Zero or Legend of Zelda

I sure wouldn't mind having the "big" game being, say, Pokemonline (Pokemon Online). You know, an online Pokemon RPG.
Either that or a completely new franchise.

Eh, D&P already have online battles, would be pointless to go full MMORPG since it wouldn't really work.
Doubt it's a new franchise because, well, it's Nintendo come on.

It'll probably be remake of something old like Pikmin or a Mother game.

Sequal to Pikmin on Wii and DS would be brilliant, pretty sure the Mother guy said he wasn't going to do anymore, but I guess that wouldn't stop Nintendo... you just know when the Mother 3 patch is close to finishing Nintendo will announce a port on the DS coming to English speaking areas.
Rev-On V5.0
14-07-2008, 17:15
Um...Nintendo just showed this little thing (http://wii.ign.com/articles/888/888837p1.html).
Nintendo's upcoming Wii MotionPlus accessory for the revolutionary Wii Remote controller again redefines game control, by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space. The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player's arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play. The Wii MotionPlus accessory reconfirms Nintendo's commitment to making games intuitive and accessible for everyone. Nintendo will reveal more details about the Wii MotionPlus accessory and other topics Tuesday morning at its E3 media briefing.
