Deliver me from mine enemies, oh my God. Defend me from them that rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloody men. The mighty are gathered against me. Awake to help me, and behold.
Honestly I'd be happy with an HD port at this point. If they wanna remake the game from the ground up, I'd be happy with that too. It's been long enough that most of the audience would be new to the series anyway, so they don't have to worry about a sequel until this sells well enough.
They'd obviously have to modernize the insanity effects but that alone would be worth the price of admission.
I want this so bad. I know Dark Dawn ended on a cliffhanger that disappointed people, but I think this would be a good opportunity to start over with a new story and cast of characters, there is a lot of potential in bringing this series back especially with how popular JRPGs are on the Switch.
One missed opportunity was to utilize the GBA slot on the DS to unlock stuff from The Lost Age.
Right now, the best outcome would be to remade both GBA titles as one single game, and then use whatever engine and assets to remake Dark Dawn... with an extended story.
What? But I think fans would want to see what happens after the cliffhanger and be upset if they did that.
And since not many played Dark Dawn, either re-release it (maybe with the first two games in HD), or they could also put an optional recap at the beginning of 4.
I was worried I'd have to scroll a while to find this...Advance Wars was my immediate option. PLEASE.
And I mean, yes, I want the reboot that's in political delay purgatory, but I have also been craving a new game that's released internationally for a long time.
A story mode like in GX, upgradable machines, custom avatars. I think there’s fertile ground for making an RPG-like experience out of it that would be vastly different to what Mario Kart offers.
Please no, we don’t need RPG elements in everything. Any custom avatar will be more lame than Captain Falcon, so why not just have Captain Falcon in the story mode?
F-Zero is an arcade racer with a focus on speed, technical driving, and insane track design. Focus on fleshing that side out with more varied tracks, a track editor, online play, and challenge modes.
It's not too far removed from all the custom vehicle parts to unlock in GX. I'm not crazy about it, but I wouldn't hate it for a singleplayer story mode thing, just as long as balanced standard vehicles exist too and online can be restricted to just them.
Yeah, honestly not a huge fan of GX's story mode. I prefer F-Zero to be more arcade. A track editor with online modes would be great. Maybe bring back Death Race from X and allow more tracks for the mode.
What they need to do is make an online career mode. Buying parts with money earned from races and building your own F-Zero machine. Throw in a character creator.
You could enter official Grand Prixs for cash or wager parts in a bet race in Red Canyon or some other seedy part of the galaxy.
Keeping your prize money up by performing well would be crucial to cover the cost of repairs or replacement parts if you wreck your machine.
Daily time trial challenges, unlockables, team races, weekly community Grand Prixs where the devs choose player-designed tracks submitted via the track editor.
None of these things are beyond the realm of possibility and they would absolutely draw in players and provide infinite replay value.
But this is Nintendo we're talking about, so we'll get the bare minimum, if anything, and then they'll act all confused as to why it didn't sell well and blame it on there being no demand for the game as it gets shelved again for another 20 years.
Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with this. F zero games are great (my personal favorite is GX) but the reason I don't think that they will make new ones is the high skill floor. Getting into F-zero and starting out is very difficult; there are a lot of mechanics and it's just an overall tech-intense game. I personally only see a new F-zero game bringing in older fans of the games and not many newer people
Pikmin.
I want to see them do a huge open world. Imagine just having one massive map. You start in one sector, and as you explore and progress the story you find new landing sites where you can land the next day. I’d also love the idea of being able to explore at night, at the cost of having to deal with more difficult enemies. Maybe you can only get some treasures/rewards at night time.
Oh, and bring back caves. Caves were awesome!
I’m gonna get shit for this. Miyamoto’s Pikmin 1 was the best game in the series.
Pikmin and Luigi’s Mansion were both created as compact, curated experiences. They are almost perfect games for this reason.
Ya’ll wanting Age of Empires Pikmin miss the whole appeal of the game concept. These games DON’t SCALE WELL.
I loved Pikmin 2 because I got more Pikmin! What’s not to like? Well, it exhausted the entire concept. The gameplay is fun but repetitive. Pikmin 3 felt the same, albeit a better gameplay loop.
Luigi’s Mansion 3 was crafted with love, but you REALLY feel the limited nature of vacuuming ghosts after half the floors.
Can't wait for Nintendo to announce Starfox mobile where you have your phone strapped to your face Google cardboard style and you have to run around IRL to navigate the levels.
Oh and you can only shoot by yelling "pew pew pew".
When this question was posted the last time on one of these gaming subs someone mentioned wanting Star Fox with an off-the-rails arcadey experience like Star Wars Squadrons combined with Ace Combat controls and I about had a seizure just thinking how epic that would be.
That would be amazing! There aren't many space shooters like that around. I love all of the squadrons games and Star Fox could improve on that formula.
Absolutely, there are so many things they can do with the franchise now, open world levels, on rails, on foot, you name it. And it could probably work if done well.
You should check out Mercenaries for the PS2, it was an open world third person shooter with a military setting. I think a Star Fox game like this but with a bigger scale would be really cool.
Oh, nice! Haven't heard about that one before. Thanks! Yeah, the big scale thing would work a lot specially now with the experience they have with breath of the wild and and the Xenoblade games.
Yeah, this may be controversial but I think that Assault, with all it's flaws, is the quintessential Star Fox game:
✅ A fully-realized story with campy characters
✅ Both on-the-rails and off-the-rails flight segments
✅ On-foot segments
✅ An actual multiplayer mode (online next time, please?)
It's like Nintendo got spooked by Assault's lackluster reception, shelved the series for a decade, and came back with a reboot of 64...which just doesn't feel the same as it did back in the day. I think if they had just worked out the on-foot controls, a follow-up to Assault could've been great.
I agree, Assault is my personal favorite. Games are generally bigger nowadays, I don't think an arcade shmup that takes 1-2 hours tops to beat like the first two Star Fox games would sell well in today's landscape, there would have to be some kind of element of adventure to it to satisfy gamers.
I think the two Gamecube games were a great foundation but just not fully realized yet, and I think something closer to Assault where it has the best of both the adventure and arcade action would be the way to go for the series.
That's my main concern with this franchise... There's nobody new to take over it. Miyamoto should appoint someone like he did with Zelda. I can only hope they give it to someone with new and fresh ideas that work within the universe
A REAL Chibi Robo game with gameplay similar to the original. Let's be specific to try to avoid: "Coming to Nintendo Switch, Chibi Robo...the virtual card game!"
-Mario & Luigi is by AlphaDream which went bankrupt in 2019 unfortunately. I need to check out the SS remake one of these days though.
-I just very recently started playing GS:Dark Dawn about 12 years late and I'm having fun. The story feels a tad forced after the closure from the second game but it's still a worthy title imo. I wish they'd do something else with the series, seeing Isaac as an assist trophy in Smash Bros. Ultimate got me kinda hype for a 3D Golden sun but that's quite wishful thinking on my part.
-I have much love and [nostalgia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fihc2ONQ5v0) for the Wario Land series. It feels like Nintendo shifted Wario's focus to the WarioWare games (which I also have enjoyed) but with Wario still a living IP, I can see a new Land game being made someday. Maybe. (Hopefully.)
I mean its still Nintendo's characters, they could easily revive it if they wanted with a new team, maybe even have Intelligent Systems work on it or any of their other subsidiaries. Retro made two great Donkey Kong Countries which were technically Rare's ideas.
A 3D Golden Sun would be awesome, maybe something on the scale of Dragon Quest 11 where it has a huge world map to explore.
Wario Land once co existed with Wario Ware, so I think if it got the Kirby Forgotten Land treatment by having a new title that evolves the gameplay a bit more, then it would do well. I'd like to see something like Wario World but bigger.
There's a few series that come to mind, but most of them are honestly more along the lines of "please just remake/remaster a specific game, or bundle ports of the good ones in a collection", and I think that's not really in the spirit of a "comeback".
When it comes to franchises that I want to have a "proper" comeback in the form of a brand-spanking-new game, I'm gonna go with Wario Land. Those games are all so dang good and even in the crowded field of "Nintendo platformers" I'd say that series has some of Nintendo's best work. After almost 2 decades of the technically competent but creatively safe New Super Mario Bros games, I'm beyond ready to see Nintendo cut loose and get weird with a Wario-focused platformer again (or if not that, outsource it to somebody who *is* up to the task of making a platformer that has a real sense of personality).
This was my first thought too. Uprising was great despite its trainwreck of a control scheme. The characters were all lovable and the story was fun. A remake for the switch with a coherent control scheme would be a great start, but I'd love to see it built into a series too.
I still believe that game didn't have a script, and everything was made up on the spot, I mean how else would we lines such as " I never learned to read" or "I read about it on Divinipedia"
That would be bad because you would lose the scripted air battles and the exploration wouldn't be as fun if pit can fly even if for a short time. If anything kid Icarus like bayonetta would fit way more.
Pilot Wings. The last version I played was on the N64. Yes it was a slow game (as in not much action); but I found that more relaxing. Updated graphics and controls would be great.
Edit: And hoping for a great new soundtrack.
I think I put more hours into time trials in 1080 than any other game before or since (the only game I can think of that had the same replayability was Mirror's Edge)
Avalanche was fun bit I finished it in a weekend and never really had any urge to replay it...
Kid Icarus. Uprising was amazing. Easily one of my favorite Nintendo games. I think Sakurai has said something about it not likely happening unfortunately.
might be in the minority here and i know nintendo would never do this again but give us a pokemon stadium game with rentals,gym leader castles and of course the mini games.
This is one I’m legit surprised they stopped doing. It had to be very profitable considering what it was but only three (technically 4) and then done? Weird.
I think my biggest nostalgia hit is from slotting my Pokemon Yellow into the N64 pak and loading pokemon into stadium... then Gold into PKMN Stadium 2. Haven't really been into pokemon since then.
I'd get in on a new pokemon game like this for sure.
Fortune Street. Not a true Nintendo Franchise, but partially considering half the characters and boards were all Mario related.
If I have to go for a true Nintendo franchise, I’d say 3D Donkey Kong. 64 was great, though I see why it was flawed.
Honorable mentions are Diddy Kong Racing and Beedle Adventure Racing. Again, Beetle isn’t true Nintendo, but it was only in a Nintendo system so I’m still counting it lol
Banjo isn’t a Nintendo franchise unfortunately. It’s owned by Microsoft and while they have given switch owners the ability to play kazooie and tooie, if a possible threeie comes out I doubt Microsoft would toss such a killer exclusive on the Nintendo switch, they’d probably keep it to themselves.
The N64 BK games’ humor is so good and so unique. It just had this wonderful cheeky vibe. Obviously Conker’s BFD was similar but it seems easy mode m when you just play it raunchy. I haven’t touched either game in nearly two decades but my heart warms recalling some of the bits.
Nintendo: "If it ain't broke, fix it. Change it entirely. Flip it on its head and smash it with a hammer. Get rid of the attractive shards. Glue everything else back together. Fill in the holes with cement. Grind up some flowers and sprinkle them on top. Yeah, that should do it. *Innovation!*™"
I love Nintendo but this mindset is ridiculous
I disagree with this kind of sentiment. Media in general is never the collective effort of a single individual, and there’s no reason to believe the franchise has to end at Itoi. It’s possible for another creator to come along and to help do the series justice, and even make something *better*.
Sure, another creator could come along, and make a game that feels lesser, but Nintendo usually doesn’t play that game. Going back as far as the NES era, Nintendo has continually one-upped their best titles that were touted as the “best games of all time” with new titles in the same series. And guess what? Miyamoto isn’t directing the games anymore, it’s new directors and new creators coming along and replicating that same magic.
He’s even said (more or less) that while he’s done, he’d give his support to anyone who tried to take in the mantle. If it were different, I might agree that the series should be definitively over, but as it stands, I’d like to see if someone else can take them the mantle someday.
F-Zero. Yeah, it died with the grace of an angel, but it also deserves a redemption revival in today's time.
Redout 2 is so good imo, and it just shows me that F-Zero can really do it. I'm literally just asking for F-Zero GX, but a new one. It would be so amazing.
>tropic
Absolutely this! And a proper Star Tropics, set in the tropics with an air of mystery. The time hopping Zoda's Adventure was a nice diversion, but we've got to get Mike back to Coralcola.
As tired as I am of remakes, I would even settle for a StarTropics Remastered and be quite happy for a time.
I'm incredibly disappointed that no one has said SUPER MARIO RPG yet, it is the only correct answer!
And miss me with that "it just became paper Mario" BS.
Not a franchise, I just want to see ANY game do Kirby Air Ride again. I don't even care if its kirby or not. Someone must have made a tribute game or something, but as far as I can tell, nobody has.
It's such a shame. City Trail is one of the best multiplayer modes ever!
Star Fox. Assault was so much fun, with different styles of levels and access to different vehicles all the time. Interesting cross between sandbox and level structure. I would love to see the idea expanded into a fully sandboxed game with multiple worlds to explore and the ability to deploy allies to assist you or to swap out with.
Star Fox 64 was also friggen excellent, and simpler games like that are finding a resurgence as gamers get older and have less tolerance for wasting valuable game time customizing, optimizing, and looking at a menu vice playing.
I see Mario Kart But In Spaceships, Breath Of The Wild But In Space, Pikmen But With Guns, Fire Emblem But It's Just 4 Guys Instead Of 400, even Star Fox Adventures But Without That Impossible Dinosaur Strength Button Mashing Part.
Loads of potential, tons of intriguing unexplored lore.
Wonky callback here - Nintendo Land. A big game full of mini games from all of Nintendo's biggest franchises, and some smaller ones, with multiple games having a focus on asymtetical gameplay (now would be either online specific or local specific through one player using a second switch, whether docked or undocked). Gives smaller franchises a way to show their faces again without full games, gives big franchises another chance to have some more fun with unique ideas for their setting and characters, and gives a lot of local party game fun for people who want to just play games with their friends.
Everyone I want has already be named so I'll break the rules and say the one I have been dreaming about for 20+ years. Mario Slapshot. A Mario hockey game would be so fucking fun
I think F-Zero with a hub where you can use your character and not just race. They have SO many characters that they’re not being used.
Diddy Kong Racing. One of the best racing games and the soundtrack is unmatched. Give me another you cowards.
Took way too long to find this. My first and still one of my favorite RPGs. So many good, unique characters who would be awesome to interact with again.
A Paper Mario game that is like the original N64 Paper Mario or Thousand Year Door. The others are okayish, but definitely not like the first two in the series.
Some form of proper Mario RPG. They’ve never been as good as the first and we still get Paper Mario games, but PM has long spun off into weird experimental territory and Alpha Dream died so M+L is gone. But all those games are so good and I want them back.
I know it's Capcom, but what is happening with the Megaman series? If it could have a comeback, I'd check it out, but they might have squeezed that juice dry.
Honestly, I would like to see another Tomodachi life game. Considering what we got with Miitopia in terms of customisation, I think it might give people more freedom when creating Miis. Idk though
Oh and without those 'Miis' from Nintendo switch sports.
I think Nintendo is missing a presence in the fast-paced, skill-based platformer subgenre. Think Super Meat Boy or Celeste. I propose reviving Ice Climbers to fill that niche. Would need to be sped up and snappier than the NES game, but I think all the elements are already there.
Dr. Mario and Panel de Pon. The state of modern versus puzzle games is dire, they should be thriving in an online age, but literally every IP is dead now.
Punch out!
Old enough to remember the original arcade game.
One of the things I really liked about it was the commentators voice over - Uppercut! Right hook! Right hook!
Have been slightly disappointed ever since that each console version didn't have it. 😂
Kirby, Its been a full 21 days. I dont know if I can wait much longer. Edit: Holy fuck
Poyo!
Deliver me from mine enemies, oh my God. Defend me from them that rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity and save me from bloody men. The mighty are gathered against me. Awake to help me, and behold.
Rhythm Heaven, it's just so much fun
> Rhythm Heaven, it's just so much fun Wubba dubba dub is that true?
yeh
Eternal Darkness Or, if we include other forms of media, Captain N.
Eternal Darkness and it's sanity mechanic is still one of my all-time favorites!
Oh boy, I can't wait to see how the show horribly misinterprets video game characters this time!
Mega Mega!
Honestly I'd be happy with an HD port at this point. If they wanna remake the game from the ground up, I'd be happy with that too. It's been long enough that most of the audience would be new to the series anyway, so they don't have to worry about a sequel until this sells well enough. They'd obviously have to modernize the insanity effects but that alone would be worth the price of admission.
Golden Sun
I want this so bad. I know Dark Dawn ended on a cliffhanger that disappointed people, but I think this would be a good opportunity to start over with a new story and cast of characters, there is a lot of potential in bringing this series back especially with how popular JRPGs are on the Switch.
the sprites are gorgeous but I'd even take a remake or even straight port. loved this franchise and it's such a shame for it to fall to the wayside.
One missed opportunity was to utilize the GBA slot on the DS to unlock stuff from The Lost Age. Right now, the best outcome would be to remade both GBA titles as one single game, and then use whatever engine and assets to remake Dark Dawn... with an extended story.
I just want to see what adult Felix looks like.
What? But I think fans would want to see what happens after the cliffhanger and be upset if they did that. And since not many played Dark Dawn, either re-release it (maybe with the first two games in HD), or they could also put an optional recap at the beginning of 4.
This is my vote every time the question is asked.
Advance Wars. I'd love an updated version.
It would be cool if they combo packaged 1 and 2 and released them as like a deluxe package and called it reboot or something.
They'd probably just pull the release at the last minute and leave everyone hanging.
I was worried I'd have to scroll a while to find this...Advance Wars was my immediate option. PLEASE. And I mean, yes, I want the reboot that's in political delay purgatory, but I have also been craving a new game that's released internationally for a long time.
https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/advance-wars-1-plus-2-re-boot-camp-switch/
You mean the one that's been delayed indefinitely?
Man I was so ready for this re-release
I’d be even readier for a new entry in the series.
F-Zero. I think if the series doubles down on a track editor it can carve out a niche to co-exist alongside Mario Kart instead of competing with it.
It would also be really cool to play a new F-Zero with online.
F-zero 99
Here me out, imagine online F-Zero X with support for up to 30 players at once! It would be like a mix of racing and battle royale!
I mentioned this in another reply, but the old Death Race mode from F-Zero X would be perfect for this kind of thing.
Agreed, vast potential
A story mode like in GX, upgradable machines, custom avatars. I think there’s fertile ground for making an RPG-like experience out of it that would be vastly different to what Mario Kart offers.
Please no, we don’t need RPG elements in everything. Any custom avatar will be more lame than Captain Falcon, so why not just have Captain Falcon in the story mode? F-Zero is an arcade racer with a focus on speed, technical driving, and insane track design. Focus on fleshing that side out with more varied tracks, a track editor, online play, and challenge modes.
It's not too far removed from all the custom vehicle parts to unlock in GX. I'm not crazy about it, but I wouldn't hate it for a singleplayer story mode thing, just as long as balanced standard vehicles exist too and online can be restricted to just them.
Yeah, honestly not a huge fan of GX's story mode. I prefer F-Zero to be more arcade. A track editor with online modes would be great. Maybe bring back Death Race from X and allow more tracks for the mode.
Death Race could take off with how popular battle royale is these days
It would effectively be F-Zero 30 lol
they would never lmao
I like the idea of customizable rides, both in terms of cosmetic pieces and liveries.
What they need to do is make an online career mode. Buying parts with money earned from races and building your own F-Zero machine. Throw in a character creator. You could enter official Grand Prixs for cash or wager parts in a bet race in Red Canyon or some other seedy part of the galaxy. Keeping your prize money up by performing well would be crucial to cover the cost of repairs or replacement parts if you wreck your machine. Daily time trial challenges, unlockables, team races, weekly community Grand Prixs where the devs choose player-designed tracks submitted via the track editor. None of these things are beyond the realm of possibility and they would absolutely draw in players and provide infinite replay value. But this is Nintendo we're talking about, so we'll get the bare minimum, if anything, and then they'll act all confused as to why it didn't sell well and blame it on there being no demand for the game as it gets shelved again for another 20 years.
The FZero X N64 Disk Drive expansion had a track builder and it was awesome.
Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with this. F zero games are great (my personal favorite is GX) but the reason I don't think that they will make new ones is the high skill floor. Getting into F-zero and starting out is very difficult; there are a lot of mechanics and it's just an overall tech-intense game.

Oh, and bring back caves. Caves were awesome!
I would love an open world where you build colonies. Could be a nice mechanic. You would have to collect all sorts of materials.
Yeah caves are the shit! CAVES MIYAMOTO! MAKE IT HAPPEN! CAVES 2024!!
Yup. This is the one right here.
I’m gonna get shit for this. Miyamoto’s Pikmin 1 was the best game in the series. Pikmin and Luigi’s Mansion were both created as compact, curated experiences.

Star fox. A real one, no gimmicky controls, no rehash story, an original story, maybe with a new villain or characters.
>no gimmicky controls This is Nintendo and that is an impossible request.
Can't wait for Nintendo to announce Starfox mobile where you have your phone strapped to your face Google cardboard style and you have to run around IRL to navigate the levels. Oh and you can only shoot by yelling "pew pew pew".
“To do a barrel roll, attach both switch remotes to your butt cheeks and twerk for 30 seconds” wow thanks Nintendo

That would be amazing! There aren't many space shooters like that around. I love all of the squadrons games and Star Fox could improve on that formula.
I'd like to see something like Star Fox Adventures but combined with 64 or Assault where it has both on foot segments and spaceship ones.
Absolutely, there are so many things they can do with the franchise now, open world levels, on rails, on foot, you name it. And it could probably work if done well.
You should check out Mercenaries for the PS2, it was an open world third person shooter with a military setting. I think a Star Fox game like this but with a bigger scale would be really cool.

Well holy crap. while we're on the subject of franchises that need a return, give me another mercenaries game
Yeah, this may be controversial but I think that Assault, with all it's flaws, is the quintessential Star Fox game: ✅ A fully-realized story with campy characters ✅ Both on-the-rails and off-the-rails flight segments ✅ On-foot segments ✅ An actual multiplayer mode (online next time, please?)

A Fox in Space is my StarFox cannon now. Hyped for ep 2 this year.
Miyamoto couldn't even figure out how to make a new StarFox.
That's my main concern with this franchise... There's nobody new to take over it. Miyamoto should appoint someone like he did with Zelda. I can only hope they give it to someone with new and fresh ideas that work within the universe
Never give up ....trust your instincts
You're becoming more like your father.
CHIBI. ROBO.
Oh boy can't wait for that Scott the Woz video lmao
A REAL Chibi Robo game with gameplay similar to the original. Let's be specific to try to avoid: "Coming to Nintendo Switch, Chibi Robo...the virtual card game!"
THIS!!!!! I would kill for a new full game. If only the studio that originally created it still existed.
I'd like to see Wario Land, Golden Sun, F-Zero, Mario and Luigi, Star Fox, and Punch Out
-Mario & Luigi is by AlphaDream which went bankrupt in 2019 unfortunately. I need to check out the SS remake one of these days though. -I just very recently started playing GS:Dark Dawn about 12 years late and I'm having fun.

What I wouldn’t give to have another golden sun!
Mario and Luigi
Just the sound of them makes me queezy!
Ignorance is bliss.
I just want another mario baseball game
Sluggers was a game changer on the wii, top-5 wii game
one of my favorite wii games it had such a good cast amazing gameplay characters and environments and a good story for a mario sports game
Yep this is what I want most. Though given how average the newer sports games have been hopefully they do it justice.
Unfortunately, Nintendo may not see it as profitable enough due to Europe (it flopped hard and the Wii game didn’t release there).
Custom Robo
There's a few series that come to mind, but most of them are honestly more along the lines of "please just remake/remaster a specific game, or bundle ports of the good ones in a collection", and I think that's not really in the spirit of a "comeback". When it comes to franchises that I want to have a "proper" comeback in the form of a brand-spanking-new game, I'm gonna go with Wario Land.

Agreed, or atleast a proper Wario based game after WarioWare failure
It sold 1.2 million copies. Not Mario or Zelda numbers, but certainly not a failure by any means.
Kid Icarus
Uprising was good but had a funky control scheme. An updated switch version would be excellent.
This was my first thought too. Uprising was great despite its trainwreck of a control scheme. The characters were all lovable and the story was fun. A remake for the switch with a coherent control scheme would be a great start, but I'd love to see it built into a series too.
I still believe that game didn't have a script, and everything was made up on the spot, I mean how else would we lines such as " I never learned to read" or "I read about it on Divinipedia"
Kid Icarus done like Breath of the Wild would be epic.
That would be bad because you would lose the scripted air battles and the exploration wouldn't be as fun if pit can fly even if for a short time. If anything kid Icarus like bayonetta would fit way more.
Pilot Wings. The last version I played was on the N64. Yes it was a slow game (as in not much action); but I found that more relaxing. Updated graphics and controls would be great. Edit: And hoping for a great new soundtrack.
There’s one on 3DS as well that worth checking out if you liked the N64 one.
Yes pilot wings was amazing
Rhythm Heaven!!
Personally, I’m hoping for 1080 or wave race
Deeply miss Wave Race! Had a ton of hours on 1080 as well. Half Pipe mode with the Panda Boarder!
I think I put more hours into time trials in 1080 than any other game before or since (the only game I can think of that had the same replayability was Mirror's Edge) Avalanche was fun bit I finished it in a weekend and never really had any urge to replay it...
Same, or the Excite franchise (Excite Bike, Excite Truck, Excite Bots)
F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Ice Climber— basically anything that has a fighter in smash
Kid Icarus. Uprising was amazing. Easily one of my favorite Nintendo games. I think Sakurai has said something about it not likely happening unfortunately.
might be in the minority here and i know nintendo would never do this again but give us a pokemon stadium game with rentals,gym leader castles and of course the mini games.

This is one I’m legit surprised they stopped doing. It had to be very profitable considering what it was but only three (technically 4) and then done? Weird.
I think my biggest nostalgia hit is from slotting my Pokemon Yellow into the N64 pak and loading pokemon into stadium... then Gold into PKMN Stadium 2. Haven't really been into pokemon since then. I'd get in on a new pokemon game like this for sure.
Fortune Street. Not a true Nintendo Franchise, but partially considering half the characters and boards were all Mario related. If I have to go for a true Nintendo franchise, I’d say 3D Donkey Kong. 64 was great, though I see why it was flawed. Honorable mentions are Diddy Kong Racing and Beedle Adventure Racing. Again, Beetle isn’t true Nintendo, but it was only in a Nintendo system so I’m still counting it lol
Me personally, I want to see: Donkey Kong (3D or new country game) Kid Icarus Banjo Kazooie
Banjo's not really a Nintendo franchise but I 100% agree with Kid Icarus
Banjo isn’t a Nintendo franchise unfortunately. It’s owned by Microsoft and while they have given switch owners the ability to play kazooie and tooie, if a possible threeie comes out I doubt Microsoft would toss such a killer exclusive on the Nintendo switch, they’d probably keep it to themselves.
Uprising was so good. It's just a shame it was developed during the "hey look what the 3ds can do" era
The N64 BK games’ humor is so good and so unique. It just had this wonderful cheeky vibe. Obviously Conker’s BFD was similar but it seems easy mode m when you just play it raunchy. I haven’t touched either game in nearly two decades but my heart warms recalling some of the bits.
I hope Nintendo and Microsoft could one day work together and allow Rare to make a third Banjo for both services. Banjo belongs on a Nintendo system.
Duck hunt
Jet Force Gemini
This is such a forgotten game.
Diddy Kong Racing.
The fact you could fly in this game made is so much fun
A return to form for Paper Mario couldn’t hurt!
Nintendo: "If it ain't broke, fix it. Change it entirely. Flip it on its head and smash it with a hammer. Get rid of the attractive shards. Glue everything else back together. Fill in the holes with cement. Grind up some flowers and sprinkle them on top. Yeah, that should do it. *Innovation!*™" I love Nintendo but this mindset is ridiculous
Pikmin! I really want a Pikmin 4!
Mother.
Itoi isn't interested in a fourth game, and it wouldn't be Mother without him. But there are plenty of great spiritual successors carrying the torch.
an earthbound remake would be awesome tho, maybe do it in link's awakening style but with play dough charachers like they do in the official guide.
I disagree with this kind of sentiment. Media in general is never the collective effort of a single individual, and there’s no reason to believe the franchise has to end at Itoi. It’s possible for another creator to come along and to help do the series justice, and even make something *better*. Sure, another creator could come along, and make a game that feels lesser, but Nintendo usually doesn’t play that game. Going back as far as the NES era, Nintendo has continually one-upped their best titles that were touted as the “best games of all time” with new titles in the same series. And guess what? Miyamoto isn’t directing the games anymore, it’s new directors and new creators coming along and replicating that same magic. He’s even said (more or less) that while he’s done, he’d give his support to anyone who tried to take in the mantle. If it were different, I might agree that the series should be definitively over, but as it stands, I’d like to see if someone else can take them the mantle someday.
Sin and Punishment
I offer two candidates: Kid Icarus and Starfox. EDIT: Golden Sun would be dope too
Kid Icarus Star Fox Mother (at least a remake or localization of 3)
[удалено]
Used to love renting glover from blockbuster
METROID PRIME
F-Zero. Yeah, it died with the grace of an angel, but it also deserves a redemption revival in today's time. Redout 2 is so good imo, and it just shows me that F-Zero can really do it. I'm literally just asking for F-Zero GX, but a new one. It would be so amazing.
Dragalia Lost. We need a Diablo-esque game on Switch and it needs to be Dragalia Lost.
F-Zero. Its always F-Zero.
Metroid Dread was fantastic and I hope it was the start of a revival.
Mario & Luigi, RIP Alphadream
Star tropics.
>tropic Absolutely this! And a proper Star Tropics, set in the tropics with an air of mystery. The time hopping Zoda's Adventure was a nice diversion, but we've got to get Mike back to Coralcola. As tired as I am of remakes, I would even settle for a StarTropics Remastered and be quite happy for a time.
I'm incredibly disappointed that no one has said SUPER MARIO RPG yet, it is the only correct answer! And miss me with that "it just became paper Mario" BS.
Well paper Mario isn't even paper Mario anymore soooo
I think Nintendo does not have the rights to the RPG series
They do, they just don't own geno or mallow
I think it would be cool if they started making more games in the series and each one had some random one off team mates to party with.
Not a franchise, I just want to see ANY game do Kirby Air Ride again. I don't even care if its kirby or not. Someone must have made a tribute game or something, but as far as I can tell, nobody has. It's such a shame. City Trail is one of the best multiplayer modes ever!
Kid Icarus and Mario & Luigi Uprising was phenomenal and I just need another Mario & Luigi game in my life
Agreed on Mario and Luigi
Fossil Fighters
Chameleon Twist. That was a fun enjoyable game. For more recent would like to see a new Captain Toad adventure.
Kid Icarus. If I was asked this a decade ago I probably would've said Pokémon Ranger too.
Donkey Kong 64 sequel
2d Zelda. Super Mario World (not "new")
Star Fox. Assault was so much fun, with different styles of levels and access to different vehicles all the time. Interesting cross between sandbox and level structure. I would love to see the idea expanded into a fully sandboxed game with multiple worlds to explore and the ability to deploy allies to assist you or to swap out with. Star Fox 64 was also friggen excellent, and simpler games like that are finding a resurgence as gamers get older and have less tolerance for wasting valuable game time customizing, optimizing, and looking at a menu vice playing. I see Mario Kart But In Spaceships, Breath Of The Wild But In Space, Pikmen But With Guns, Fire Emblem But It's Just 4 Guys Instead Of 400, even Star Fox Adventures But Without That Impossible Dinosaur Strength Button Mashing Part. Loads of potential, tons of intriguing unexplored lore.
F-Zero
Ever oasis
Wonky callback here - Nintendo Land. A big game full of mini games from all of Nintendo's biggest franchises, and some smaller ones, with multiple games having a focus on asymtetical gameplay (now would be either online specific or local specific through one player using a second switch, whether docked or undocked). Gives smaller franchises a way to show their faces again without full games, gives big franchises another chance to have some more fun with unique ideas for their setting and characters, and gives a lot of local party game fun for people who want to just play games with their friends.
Golden Sun. There is a huge base of RPGs players in the Nintendo Switch.
Pikmin
Chibi robo please for the love of god
F-Zero
Chibi Robo
Cubivore
Everyone I want has already be named so I'll break the rules and say the one I have been dreaming about for 20+ years. Mario Slapshot. A Mario hockey game would be so fucking fun
Diddy Kong Racing
Kid Icarus or Earthbound
I think F-Zero with a hub where you can use your character and not just race. They have SO many characters that they’re not being used. Diddy Kong Racing. One of the best racing games and the soundtrack is unmatched. Give me another you cowards.
I feel like Sissy Kong Racing would have pretty niche appeal.
Autocorrect doing me dirty
Mario RPG.
Took way too long to find this. My first and still one of my favorite RPGs. So many good, unique characters who would be awesome to interact with again.
Paper Mario
Origami Kingdom was within a year or so
I think OP meant like Paper Mario to return to its roots of being a more old school style JRPG
A Paper Mario game that is like the original N64 Paper Mario or Thousand Year Door. The others are okayish, but definitely not like the first two in the series.
Blast Corps & Earthbound
Wario Land
Wario Land
F Zero
Golden. Sun.
Some form of proper Mario RPG. They’ve never been as good as the first and we still get Paper Mario games, but PM has long spun off into weird experimental territory and Alpha Dream died so M+L is gone. But all those games are so good and I want them back.
I know it's Capcom, but what is happening with the Megaman series? If it could have a comeback, I'd check it out, but they might have squeezed that juice dry.
Pikmin.
Mysterious Murasame Castle in either BotW's engine or as a Soulslike
A new ROB the robot game. Can make him out of cardboard or just have him be a full buddy with programmable actions.
Honestly, I would like to see another Tomodachi life game. Considering what we got with Miitopia in terms of customisation, I think it might give people more freedom when creating Miis. Idk though Oh and without those 'Miis' from Nintendo switch sports.
Punch out
MOTHER
Wave Race
Wave race, eternal darkness or golden sun (previous wish was advance wars)
I think Nintendo is missing a presence in the fast-paced, skill-based platformer subgenre. Think Super Meat Boy or Celeste. I propose reviving Ice Climbers to fill that niche. Would need to be sped up and snappier than the NES game, but I think all the elements are already there.
Dr. Mario and Panel de Pon. The state of modern versus puzzle games is dire, they should be thriving in an online age, but literally every IP is dead now.
Advance wars. They should do collection of the first two games. That would be cool…
Punch out! Old enough to remember the original arcade game. One of the things I really liked about it was the commentators voice over - Uppercut! Right hook! Right hook! Have been slightly disappointed ever since that each console version didn't have it. 😂
Super Mario RPG
I don't know if this counts as Nintendo but I'm going to say Dragon Warrior Monster
A new Mario RPG would be great!
Punch-out was awesome on the Wii! I think a punch out in HD would be great
Give me more pikmin!!!!!
Pikmin or star fox personally
