Squeak Squad was pretty ewww.
I don't understand how there are literally dozens of games in this franchise, almost all released to middling sales, while other games that would diversify their portfolio more (i.e., Metroid, F-Zero) are completely ignored.
Why does Nintendo have such a boner for this series? I don't get it.
For Wii U, certainly, given how piss poor it's selling. For 3DS and Wii, a proper game would sell nicely. Other M was awful, got terrible reviews and reception and scared away buyers, but it's naive from Nintendo to believe (if they really do), just because they made one fuck up, when the series had steady and constantly million seller games.
Iwata is in control
and since he is an egomaniac, he is turning Nintendo into his own Kirby company
Considering the state of this forum's Iwata critics, I find myself unable to figure out if this is sincere or trolling.
People seriously need to stop acting like Metroid is dead or Nintendo is ignoring it just because there hasn't been a release for the 3DS or Wii U yet.
Because they sell, and Metroid and F-Zero don't.
In 2012, IGN made a poll asking which series needs a 3DS/Wii U revival? Guess who was the first?

But we got Kid Icarus Uprising, which is better.
That poll was after Kid Icarus Uprising.
Not by much...
Enough that Kid Icarus was not in the running.
I'm sort of surprised that they included Donkey Kong. He just had a revival like a year before that.
Hm, seems a lot more crowded back in the 90s.
...What was your argument again?
Has there ever really been a bad Kirby game though?
No.
Kirby Squeak Squad is middling; it's pretty much a standard Kirby game and anyone saying it's bad is just being dramatic.

Canvas Curse is probably my favorite Kirby game. I would love a sequel.By the way, I know it's kind of a non-standard Kirby game, but Canvas Curse is one of the best Kirby games if not the best. Extremely creative, used the system's capabilities very well, tons of content, great remixes of classic Kirby music. It's an unsung gem.

I honestly loved it too, but I'm not very vocal about it because somehow people seem to dislike it. Call it low in creativity, but I don't think it was a bad game. I also love that there are tons of colors available for KirbyI'm playing Squeak Squad... I love it.

People who liked Canvas Curse need to play Mass Attack, if you haven't.

1) if a new game from the Star Fox, F-Zero or Metroid series would be made it will very likely outsourced because Nintendo internal resources need to work on big seller titles.F-Zero had steady and constant numbers until was outsourced to Sega and Suzak as yourself provided with numbers. GX underperformed next to X and Maximum Velocity, yes, but what blew it were the disastrous numbers for GP Legend and Climax. If I remember correctly, Climax sold less than 10k in the first week. Suzak's F-Zero games were never hot in reception.
How was the genre the fault for it's underperformance since one of the major complains about Adventures, Assault and Command was exactly they weren't faithful to the series's formula? This is misleading and not accurate to the facts.
Ah, yes, Star Fox 64 3D... for the same reason DKCR 3DS and WW HD Edition didn't made nowhere near the original release performance, it was unrealistic for Nintendo to rely on it to be a parameter for the series success rather than a brand new title. But, as far as I remember, it did almost 500k in US alone, so, for a port, it wasn't really THAT BAD. But, Nintendo's management is japanese-centric, so they consider only their homeland performance, so they believe, yes, the series is dead.

Jesus christ I know GAF doesn't like Iwata but this thread is painful to read
1) if a new game from the Star Fox, F-Zero or Metroid series would be made it will very likely outsourced because Nintendo internal resources need to work on big seller titles.
2) the genre matter of course.
How many arcade/futuristic racers or 3D shmups are being developed currently?
Ever wonder why?
It ain t the 90s anymore mate, unfortunately.
4) for FZero and Star Fox sales expectation isn the only problem.
They both lack a internal manager/director to drive the series.
Star Fox is being handled by QGames because Cuthberg works there.
Because Meta Knight.
Look at that badass.
