F-Zero: UGC out the ass. 30-player online modes.
Smash: Massive online functionality. I'm talking about Halo Reach style lobbies and shit. And better netcode (Motherfucking Brawl gave me 2 second input delay when playing with my friend who lives 5 minutes away).
Zelda: Huge open world. You see a mountain off in the distance? Hop on your horse and climb it. Seamless world as well.
Pikmin: Online fucking coop.
DKCR: DKCR1 was already the God of War of platformers with its huge setpieces. For DKCR2, make them even larger and more over the top. Also, online coop.

I want a zelda that is huge, with large mass areas that take 15 or so minutes to cross as well as open seas for you to traverse, basically a hybrid of OoT and WW bur on a grander scale

Hmm, I way prefer RPG mechanics to strategy ones but Days of Ruin's narrative sounds so freakin' cool. Damn. Wish it was the other way around.

I can't agree. It was simply a fantastic evolution of the 2D formula (more specifically LA and LTTP) in 3D.
If you say OoT was a radical change simply because it took a franchise from 2D to 3D, then you'd be saying that about a shiteload of games.
Wat? There has only been one main console Zelda out this generation, and it's a Gamecube port. We still don't know very much about Skyward sword, and you're saying Zelda is suffering from franchise fatigue? GTFO.TheSeks said:
This I can get behind. Or a Castlevania like this on Cafe. Actually, I just want another MV style Castlevania, period. Don't care what console it's on.TheSeks said:
I also happen to think this thread is a bit early seeing as we really don't know much officially about the system yet. Give it a month.
Nintendo releases new DK game...with 2D gameplay_Alkaline_ said:
Nintendo releases new Mario game...with 2D gameplay
Nintendo releases new Metroid game...with pseudo 2D gameplay
OoT compared to what Nintendo does today was a radical change to a well established franchise, just would like Nintendo to be more adventurous with their big IPs (although I will admit they are much more experimental with their smaller handheld games)
Why would you do that?

Star Fox:
Go back to Star Fox 1, focus on dodging tons of crazy stuff in the air instead of focusing on shooting combos. But of course, there will be some fine gunplay and bosses.
Metroid:
If 3D: Big, open world environments.
If 2D: I'd love to see one animated similar to Wario Land: Shake It! (or shake Dimension) but with a darker art style.
Those are the only thoughts I have. The other franchises I have faith in Nintendo to make me very excited.
I'd also like to see them re-visit Waverace and 1080. I think they can execute some great ideas with them.

Well, here's one Zelda fan offering up his wish regardless of other people's wishes to ignore the fan! But I'll keep it simple:
Go back to the style in The Wind Waker. (Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks don't count.) TWW is still so fresh and interesting; certain bits like the gleefully animated Moblins with their lanterns and spears, or the Mothulas with their rocket-thruster abdomens and glittering spores, are downright STUNNING. Let's see the sidequests of Majora's Mask and the dungeons of Twilight Princess put to service in a cel-shaded world that looks and sounds like TWW. And, perhaps, pack the overworld as full of detail and complexity as Koholint Island in Link's Awakening.
That's the recipe for the perfect Zelda, imo.

Pikmin SRPG. Although that would probably work better as a handheld title.
Miis that look like Home characters that look like Miis.
Zelda to go back to its each area is on its own small screen on the world map (like in all the 2D zeldas where it was grid based, except less grid based). I just don't want a huge empty field. I liked doing the different puzzles on the world map to get to places. And also really good textures and lighting. Better grafix doesn't have to mean that everything look realistic or super different. Just nicer, and cleaner.
A Pokemon game in 3D that doesn't look all goofy and smooth and stuff. Like with the Zelda post, I had this sort of idea where you could make an HD Pokemon with detailed textures, but still keeping the same sort of design. Or, heck, make it fake claymation or something. I dunno. With better graphics, I wanna see some more fake claymation since real claymation is probably more of an expensive, time-consuming, pain in the butt.
Oh. And make another Four Swords. I know that's not really an evolution thing, but it needs to happen again.

While I want to like your idea it sounds way too much like Battalion Wars for my tastes.Nirolak said:

I support this notion.
He's probably omitting the Four Swords tacked onto ALttP GBA, as well as Four Swords Adventures and Link's Crossbow Training, and perhaps Skyward Sword since it's not out yet. I personally wouldn't discount FSA, though; it's an AMAZING Zelda title with a perfectly legit single-player on top of a simply spectacular multiplayer.Nirolak said:
Mario: I would love to see a Mario game that delivered very polished visuals but also return more to it's roots, taking place once again in the mushroom kingdom.
Zelda: I would love to see the team go big with this one aiming to create the next, "Ocarina of Time" quality game for the next generation.
Star Fox: Would love to see the Star Fox team return with online co-op play and designed like the older Star Fox games.
Basically if Nintendo truly is aiming for the core gamer again as rumored then it would stand to make sense that they would not simplify their core titles and instead allow them to progress with the times.

I'd be interested in seeing an adult Link in WW style (or a refinement of WW style), would look pretty cool.

I mean I can see where you're going with it. If it played much more like Valkyria Chronicles than Battalion Wars then I'd give it a try. I'd personally make it turn-based instead of real-time.Nirolak said:
Hell Valkyria Chronicles set in the Days of Ruin world would get my money.

Metroid should be one huge uninterrupted alien planet. NO visible loading. No colored doors (except inside man-made structures).
Being outdoors should NOT feel like you are inside a series of open-topped shoeboxes, like it did in the Prime games.
Make Metroid feel like you are REALLY on an exotic unexplored alien world.

Yes. Donkey and Diddy team up with Funky and Dixie for teamwork tactics; basically, Funky (in muscle shirt, bandana and jean shorts; see the Konga art, clean and simple) is a gameplay clone of DK, and either DK or Funky can be mixed and matched with Diddy or Dixie for unique teamwork powers (I.E. Diddy's jetpack, Dixie's ponytail spin). Then, add all-new underwater levels featuring the return of Enguarde the Swordfish. Bring back K. Rool and the Kremlings, by popular demand. Include local/online co-op for two to four players, and allow players to separate by streaming to their controllers (thus no unwitting deaths by forcing the screen to scroll). And finally, give Dave Wise an orchestra for a bombastic soundtrack as dark and brooding and whimsically atmospheric as the one that made DKC2 a legend.Chet Rippo said:
Eh, not much really. Release more games is about it.
There are particular second and third parties that I think would fit quiet a few series best, other then what seems to be a lower output of games on console, there isn't much for that I really want different on the Cafe.

Assuming Skyward Sword does not rock the boat, Zelda needs to completely change itself. It needs to have a great, magical, focused overworld like ALttP has, not just big and empty. It needs to have less items that are more important over the entire game.
Super Smash Bros. needs to be more serious. Hell, you can make tripping an optional effect, but along with other silly things that serious players wouldn't want to be forced to use.

Star Fox Cafe should be huge and epic, and have battles that go from space to air to land and back to space without loading or transition screens.
See the Star Fox Cafe thread for many pages of discussion.

I would love to see Zelda change with Cafe.
Have linked aged and much more realistic graphics but still keep the connection The game will have real time effectt on link. Bruises , scars etc etc. Voice over and narrative.
Back in the world of Hyrule,
Open world game, with setting more close to LoTR more gritty environments.
The game will be SP but would have a multilayer component within its SP campaign.
Meaning. As you travel as link you will go city by city. Each of those city are going to be ruled by other players. Within each city there will be a quest. The Guest player would protect that city from Link , and could create an army and obstacles .
It would be a create and share model in a Magical world against the protagonis.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I honestly prefer linear platforming with "multiple" paths being more like Super Mario World.
And that "replace Star Fox as humans" clearly have no idea what he's talking about. Because apparently turning them into humans would make the game suddenly better!
EDIT: Oh god, look who's in this topic!

I'm hoping for more stylization of the graphics, take a game like windwaker and fill it with more of everything, more birds in the sky, more sealife, increase the aa and resolution etc.
I don't want nintendo doing realism, i don't think their games are an adequte fit for it, with some exceptions (namely metroid).
