Click the link t2m.io/MO_RocketElijah and start your tycoon journey in MONOPOLY GO! Nintendogs? Fzero and Star Fox? Pokemon Mystery Dungeon? Nintendo has so many cool IPs they could bring back and feature. When though, and will they? let's talk about it.
@@Noah_Kai2 F-zero needed to be made because early Mario Kart wasn't that great in drifting controls. Now that Mario Kart has evolved, Nintendo no longer needs 3d F-zero.
@@orangeslash1667 I just cannot agree here. Everyone knows 3D F-Zero is completely different from Mario Kart. There are things Mario Kart just cannot do. For instance, 3D F-Zero has multiple ways to achieve turning, custom tracks (which Mario Kart *still* hasn't done yet), vehicular combat without the use of weapons, and that's just with mechanics. While Mario Kart 8 did make strides, in things like having MKTV and also a place to show off tips and tricks, there are other single-player elements Nintendo hasn't done with Mario Kart yet. Discounting Mission Mode from Mario Kart DS, it doesn't have the little things like a place to view characters out of their karts or the karts themselves (or even character endings similar to Smash Bros. or F-Zero X. Minor, but the little things add something extra). I get that Mario Kart focuses more on multiplayer, but 3D F-Zero, let alone F-Zero in general has always beat Mario Kart in Singeplayer elements. It's definitely a good thing indie games have surged with entries that are far closer to F-Zero than just Wipeout alone. But Ninetndo still hasn't brought 3D F-Zero to its *true* potential yet. It's why many fans don't want Nintendo to rely only on Mario Kart. They desperately need variety in the racing department, as far as first-party goes.
I remember a game from that era called 3D Petz: Splat the Cat. The start menu promised at least 9 games in the series with stuff like a dog, a goldfish, a t-rex, etc. They only got 3 of the games made before the series was either cancelled or the studio went bankrupt.
I like the idea for a Tomodachi Life 2, when I played the Tomodachi game on the 3ds I felt some things about the game were lacking. If this game was supposed to mimic real life, a school should have been provided for your islanders' children. If 1 had been included, the school lessons would be somewhat similar to attending a quiz show.
Another series which was not mentioned in this video was the Sims games. That game was never put on the Switch, similar games yes, but not that particular franchise.
Regarding the Mother franchise: The reason why there aren't more games being made is because doing so would go against the creator's wishes. Mother is owned by both Nintendo and Hobonichi, the company of series creator Itoi. Itoi has stated that he is satisfied where the series is currently, and does not see a reason on expanding it further. I definitely think Mother 3 needs a western release, but I don't think it would be right to continue making more games for a story that the creator said is finished. Anything beyond would be more akin to fanfiction. Also, one reason why Mother 3 hasn't been localized (among others): When the fan translation team launched their translation, Nintendo sent them a letter that basically said "yeah you did this better than we ever could lol".
Its because mother 3 would be a controversial game with its stereotypes and themes that would not fly at all today, and it would be a very hard game to localize without changing the story too much
@@morayfrye No, I really don't think that is an issue. I see people commonly quote the Magypsies as an issue, but I think the only people who would genuinely have an issue with them are bigots who aren't worth catering to. I don't think it would fly with an E rating; it would likely have to be a T-rated game, but there really isn't much content in it that is worse than say, games like Twilight Princess or Fire Emblem. I've also heard that the music sampling is a common worry as well, and that may be the most legitimate complaint beyond Nintendo not seeing a reason to translate when one already exists.
@@morayfryethat's a common theory, but I think it's mostly a myth Considering one of the games has men in drag called "trans vestites", a character who's strongly hinted at being gay in English but not Japanese, "those german" alien pigs, and a handful of other raunchy topics But the first few games still got localised with no one batting an eye, and then re-released on the virtual console _showing off_ some of those risqué subjects in the trailer. The only reason they wouldn't localise it is if the subject matter is too dark, that's been their usual MO.
I really hope there will a tomodachi life for the next nintendo console 🙏🏻 I'm also hoping they'll put in same-sex relationships in that next hypothetical version, because the fact that those were missing was one of my biggest hang-ups while playing the original (I kinda understand why they didn't at the time, but I hope things will be different now)
@elena_eleen Bad idea. The whole world is against the LBGTQ community right now. Stupid laws are being made discriminating against them and if Nintendo releases Tomodachi Life with that in it (I want this as well) Nintendo might get accused of "going woke." Not a good idea right now
@@elena_eleenThey shouldn't feel the need to put in a little same sex thing just because a small part of America demands so. If Nintendo doesn't care about doing that, then that's totally fine. If I'm being honest, not giving us Tomodachi Life on Switch because of the controversy sounds like a fair punishment for Americans trying to pressure a game company into focusing on their culture instead of what Nintendo would want.
“Scared” is the wrong word for these games. The Problem is that none of these games sold well covering their costs and had device exclusive mechanics. It’s not Scared, it’s Financial Literacy. Earthbound, Kid Icarus and FZERO were flops almost anywhere so rebooting this franchises was ill advised in Nintendo’s Part. Wonder why Pikmin 4 took so long? Because it was a risky investment by Nintendo to continue the series as the games weren’t getting enough traction. You really only know these games now by Smash Bros.
Scared is still the right word. They're scared that they won't sell well- not irrational fears definitely, but valid fears with lots of reasoning are still fears.
Seeing Kid Icarus in the thumbnail reminds me of when I played Kid Icarus Uprising on the 3DS. Man, gotta go find my cartridge and boot it up after all these years.
As a gay man it's hard to buy a game like Tomogachi Life knowing you won't have the option to marry the same gender. I get why Nintendo is so hesitant to even mention anything LGBTQ+ related because of what happened to Disney, but The Sims has been doing it for many years and the community loves the extra options that they can marry whoever they like.
I don’t think Nintendogs would do well on switch like you said, those virtual pet games were ran into the ground. But I could see them making bank off of a mobile app targeted at kids maybe.
I would pledge my loyalty to them forever if they bring out Pokémon ranger again. I'd even give them my first born if they make another remake of Pokémon Heartgold and soul silver 😩
Shadows of Almia was the only more traditional Pokémon game I liked growing up (I did grow up and have fun with Stadium and Snap) until Moon. I thought I’d try the ultra Moon game but I hate how slow and hand holdy it ended up being and how similar story wise it was to Moon 😅 It felt too copy and paste from the first one and I tried to rly love it cuz it wasn’t cheap but I had to stop only ~30% through cus it was just too beat for beat as the first game and very hand holdy 😭 I get it’s a kids series but having a separate difficulty option that skips tutorials and things that make me feel like I’m being treated like a literal infant would be great 😅 I feel like Shadows of Almia got the balance just right with the school and as a kid I actually enjoyed getting stuck at the deadly cliffs with that big boss ramming into the mountain
@@littl3evee He's probably referring to something like Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu being a remake of Leaf Green/Fire Red, but Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu is really a remake of Yellow Version. For remaking Crystal Version, something else different has to be done, because Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu did a bad sale. Johto is my favorite region, but I do not want the Let's Go series to return, because I'm too lazy to finish the pokedex in that game, so I just traded my game in without finishing my pokedex, and even traded in the pokeball plus, because I have no need for it anymore. I could use the pokeball plus for Pokemon Go, but I'm done with it, and I promised to stay away from it, and after staying away from it, it seems to have got me away from drama, so I promise to stay away from Pokemon Go, and I'm happier that way.
Well ok, it’s less Nintendo’s too scared to bring back Mother, and more that Itoi feels he’s done telling the story he wanted to tell, which we should respect……… BUT YA WANNA KNOW A FRANCHISE NINTENDON’T *IS* AFRAID TO BRING BACK? POKEPARK. THAT GAME SERIES KICKED ASS-
I pretty much grew up playing The Legendary Starfy on my DS. The OST for that game is amazing. It's such a fun, great game! If they did make a new game, or at least a remake or something, I would be buying it immediately.
@@SapphireTheArtist2002 u should! They’re amazing; more stylized sprite work, fantastic osts, and additional charming touches that were excluded from the US Starfy game
Little Friends: Dogs and Cats is probably the closest to a Nintendogs you can get on the switch. There’s also Little Friends: Puppy Island, which doesn’t have cats, but has a small story mode. It scratches that Nintendogs itch. I’d still like to see what Nintendo would do themselves tho.
I feel the reason we haven't seen a new stadium game, is because the main selling point of those games were the fact you can battle your Pokémon in a 3D stadium. Now that all the games are 3d there is little incentive to do so. Unless they go the opposite route with pixel art, but that probably won't happen.
It's worth noting that quite a few of these IPs aren't actually owned by Nintendo directly, just licenced for their systems by third parties. And even the ones that are, they have full control over to request a new entry. Not to mention some of these games had entries a few years ago, even if they were remakes or ports... Mystery Dungeon, Mother, and Pokemon Ranger are all franchises that were developed by a third party that own the rights to some aspect of those games directly. While Nintendo and Creatures Inc both co-own The Pokemon Company alongside Game Freak, for example, Hal Lab is entirely independent of either and is co-owner of the Mother franchise alongside Creatures Inc (specifically 2 and 3 which they co-developed) and also owns the design of the catching mechanic used in the Ranger games. Mystery Dungeon is a non-Pokemon series owned by Chunsoft which licenses Pokemon for one of its spin-off series, it would be on them to approach Nintendo about making new games not vice versa.
Also, some IPs are the other way around. The IP belongs to Nintendo, but the games are made by studios outside of Nintendo. The best known of these are HAL with Kirby, IS with Fire Emblem and of course Pokemon. But then there is also the new DKC games and Metroid Prime made by Retro, Luigis Mansion now made by Next Level Games or resently Metroid and Mercury Steam. I just think that Nintendos internal studios are already always working on a game, that Nintendo doesn't have the capability to work on all their IPs. So they outsourcethem to other studios, which may be interested in working on this.
They aren’t scared they’re perfectionists the timing has to be perfect and stars and planets have to align Also starfox isn’t dead we had starfox content in the switch era
@@duebfofn The good news is that Arcade shooters are still a thing in indie games. Good examples include Ex Zodiac, Gridd Retroenhanced, Astrodomes, and Astebreed: Definitive Edition.
The OG Fossil Fighters on the DS was 1 of my favs growing up, still remember those characters & settings even after all this time Truly had a charm like no other
Searched through the video to see if he talked about it, he didn't sadly. A remake/port of the first game would be amazing, but we will have to wait and see.
Was also kind of waiting for it to be mentioned as well. The first two games were really fun and some of my favorites as a kid. To be fair though, I understand why they haven't touched it since frontier on the 3ds because that game was basically a nail in the coffin for the series and because how heavily the game relied on the touch screen gimmick. But A modern remake or reboot of the series drawing from the gameplay of the first two would be really awesome.
I can understand wanting Mother 3, but the devs have stated multiple times that they consider Mother a completed franchise. They did everything they wanted to across those 3 games. If you want a similar experience a lot of indie and fan games have you covered. Id also say try Dragon Quest, the series is actually pretty close structurally due to Mother taking influence directly from it.
I was waiting the whole time for spectrobes or fossil fighters and was shocked they weren't included. A pokepark 3 or a new ranger game would also be really cool
If they will bring back Fossil Fighters, they should have a crossover DLC or event with Jurassic World so that we can get the Indominus rex and the Indoraptor.
37:44 Interestingly enough, Magical Starsign isn't a one-and-done kinda game. It's actually a sequel to the Japan-exclusive GBA game Magical Vacation, created by Mana series devs after leaving Squaresoft in 2000! So if Nintendo were to bring the series back, maybe we could also see a proper Magical Vacation localization :D!
Thanks for mentioning Golden Sun. I love the series. Every Nintendo console since the DS I've been paying attention to Camelot's releases of Mario Golf and Tennis games hoping the next game would be Golden Sun. If Golden Sun came out on the 3DS or WiiU I would have bought one for that game alone
As a massive Kid Icarus fan, I hope to one day watch a Direct live like I always do, hoping for Kid Icarus content, and actually getting it. I'll actually start crying if I hear the main theme of KI in a Direct this year
My series that I want back that will likely never come back is style savvy. It was published by nintendo and synsophia, but nintendo owns the IP. Synsophia is still doing fashion games exclusive to nintendo platforms, just without their official partnership with nintendo- if nintendo wanted to do it, they could. But, for a lot of reasons, they likely never will. I can accept that, but I'm still going to be sad about it.
1:54 nahh purr pals was a vibe!!! I loved driving my cat around in a truck and my mom loved the little music mini game.. we loved it so much the too this day we still meow along to the little songs that where in there 😂 purr pals made my child hood
Technically tomodachi life is the second game in the series: the first one was for DS but it was Japanese exclusive because the DS couldn’t handle the English voices of the miis for some reason so the English release had to be scrapped. But I still want a third game.
The problem with bringing back Diddy Kong Racing is that, besides Diddy Kong, Krunch, & Tricky (As well and Tiny & Dixie if we’re counting the DS version) every character in that game is owned by Microsoft
False Microsoft does not own them they only own characters introduced in dk64 and diddykong racing games. Others are strictly from the donkey Kong series which Nintendo owns also Nintendo and Microsoft work together. Litterally why rare games are on the Nintendo game passes which are better than Xbox game pass and actually worth the price while xbox gamepass is not worth 18 bucks a month
Some corrections: The original Sin and Punishment came out on the Wii Virtual Console in the west before the Switch version. Endless Ocean wasn't a "one and done" as it had a sequel 'Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep'. Also, I can't believe you didn't include Chibi Robo, it's been 9 years since we last saw that series 😢
I actually have a ridiculous sense of PTSD when it comes to "Nintendogs" because of the donation feature and the fact you could starve your pets. i would not emotionally survive tomogotchi 💀
They can't die unfortunately butttt there's a chance that married miis can get divorced, found this out when my mii sadly broke up with ed Sheeran. I got so mad I deleted him from my island and didn't play it for like a month lol
I thought they brought back Nintendogs but with another name. Edit: ok it may not be the same people but it's called little friends. I saw it while browsing games in Walmart.
I did read that Nintendo is remaking Super Punch Out, but someone told me that they are not, because Punch Out for Wii did a bad sale, due to Donkey Kong being too difficult, so they are not doing another Punch Out game. I can see that as the problem, because they might have to bring in another character from a different game. I do see a chance for King Dedede or Bowser as the secret opponent if Super Punch Out gets a remake, and probably one new fighter to each circuit, like Kid Quick, Pizza Pasta, Mr. Dream, and a brand new opponent (like Bear Hugger and Aran Ryan from Super Punch Out and a brand new opponent named Disco Kid came in Punch Out for Wii). I read Nintendo's contract with Mike Tyson expired, and that's why Nintendo remade Punch Out on NES by replacing Mike Tyson with Mr. Dream. I read Mike Tyson was not in the Wii version, because he retired from boxing. I read Mr. Dream was not in, because he was hated by alot of fans for replacing Mike Tyson. I do not see a chance of Mike Tyson joining Super Punch Out. What if Mr. Dream came in as new? You do not have to believe everything I posted, because my info can be wrong, because I been getting info from other people, but about the boxers being in Super Punch Out remake, it's just my guess, and even someone suggested those boxers to return. From what I been seeing and been told, I do not think Nintendo will bring Punch Out back.
Bandai Namco is working on a 3D action game remake. and they have a new studio for Nintendo games. and Masahiro Sakurai says that he wants to make a remake or a remaster of Kid Icarus Uprising one day
I once had a dream where there was a Tomodachi Life sequel named Tomodachi Life: Versus World. I remember each Mii living between several high-rise apartments, as well as food trucks and an area that looked like the classic stair and flagpole from Super Mario Bros. This was all I saw. As someone who has played Tomodachi several times and bought the Miitopia port, I would buy a Tomodachi Life sequel.
I see this and I'm reminded of this statement from Telltale from before they shut down saying something to the effect of "These series are an important part of our company's past, but not its future." Call me negative, but I think at this point, Nintendo might see these off-series as being good only for nostalgic releases (like for NSO) and nothing else. I see the same thing with other publishers with lots of highly requested nostalgic properties, like Capcom, Sega, Square-Enix, Konami, Sony, and more, and think a big new release for any of those series is just never going to happen, no matter how much we'd want it. They'd understandably rather spend their money and effort on a sequel to a flagship franchise that they know will sell decently than a revival of an old or obscure series that might bomb. I'd love to be proven wrong here (and it looks like Sega's trying to), but I just don't see it. Well, I'm sufficiently bummed out now. I'm gonna watch some hip-hop dance videos to cheer myself up.
I wanted to point out that in Kid Icarus: Uprising that some people had developed hand injuries while playing this game on the DS with the stylus pen controls.
One series I’d love to see revived is The Last Story. I loved the story, the characters, and game mechanics - and, it was essentially a spiritual successor, to a degree, of final fantasy. I still keep holding onto hope that we’ll get an HD remake or true sequel to it.
Pokemon isn't making another battling game, they have a normal battle system in game where you can rent teams and battle against people or NPCs. The team renting thing in Sword and Shield onward is the same as the older games. Even in the older games they had the battle frontier and battle towers, but since we now have mainline games on the switch and not the ds, there isn't a need to showcase graphics on a big screen when they're already on the big screen.
I think starfox or kid icarus are the most likely because the other ones either wouldn't work well with the switch hardware or just nintendo is not interested in them
I feel like starfy is so underrated the story is very cute and the ending is down right bonkers i wish theyd translate the older games cuz i really want to play them and see if they are just as good
13:18 the thing about this is that the Mother/Earthbound series is owned by Shigesato Itoi and Nintendo, and Nintendo respects it as Itoi’s baby pretty much. Itoi has no interest in making a 4th game considering how long and arduous the journey was to finally release Mother 3. He still loves his series ofc.
A little correction. Sin and Punishment finally came to the west on the Wii's Virtual Console before the switch came out, so it saw a western localization WAY before switch online
No mention of the Mario and Luigi games? I know alphadream is dead but for a Mario spin-off that has such a cult following that with some of the best games of certain consoles being games in that series it's criminal they don't at least try to get another team to work on another one.
Mystery Dungeon games have always had a special place in my heart and I hope to see a new one at some point. But I also feel like that may not happen. But that's probably one of my biggest wishes. A new Mystery Dungeon game.
To be honest, aside from wishing for another F-Zero game (and another WipEout game, but that's a rant for Sony...), I'm still waiting on a few game series to come back. •Warioland •Custom Robo •Steel Diver •Lylat Wars (it's been decades!) •Pullblox/Fullblox •X (no, not that one. The one by Argonaut) •Dillon's Rolling Western •Ever Oasis (although that's more because I like the fan art people drew of Miura...) I'm dying out here missing these franchises!
I don’t think we need anymore EarthBound unless it’s a trilogy remake. The story is over and there’s no need to keep it going. Just like how I don’t think we need another Xenoblade after 3. Sometimes it’s ok to let a series end
22:06 I have been playing through animal crossing new horizons again C.J. refers to flick as his partner. Sure the word partner doesnt always mean being involved with someone romantically but the way it's used has some romantic implications.
Idk personally I am pretty ok with just letting franchises die, this frees up development time for completely new franchises and ideas. They have such a large roster of franchises, they simply cant keep em all running AND make new franchises, that would overload the switch with games and would reduce average. Sales per game thus reducing revenue
I saw Starfy on the thumbnail so what I will say for that is that TOSE would have to want to make more Starfy games as well since The Legendary Starfy series is owned by both TOSE and Nintendo.
Nintendogs was one that I had back in the day. I chose the dachshund version because at the time one of my grandmothers had one. The dachshund I started with was named Willow for the one that she had. I also had a sheltie, a pug, a husky, a sheba inu, a yorky and a shnouser that were named lassie, frank, white fang, akane, shinji, and tilly respectively. Tilly was named for the shnouser my other grandmother used to have. I was waiting for poodles to be available to get one to name after a mini poodle that a former coworker of mine had back in the day. Don't remember what three I had with me when I last played.
Endless Ocean actually is not owned by Nintendo - its a spiritual successor to the everblue series, nintendo just published it and thus can't really bring it back without ariko.
As far as mother is concerned, the original creator has stated that he doesn’t want to continue the series because it took too much out of him which is perfectly understandable, not everything needs to keep going on. And being honest, Nintendo just has way too many IPs to keep up with, especially when the main point of a business is to make money so it’s only natural some games will get left behind
Here are some other Nintendo IPs you forgot to mention that they should bring back Disaster Day Of Crisis, it was the first game made by Monolith Soft after they were acquired by Nintendo and it’s basically Uncharted mix with Metal Gear Soild in the style of a Roland Emmeric disaster movie, it looked like a lot of fun but unfortunately never saw a western release because not only did it sold poorly in Japan and Europe but even Reggie hated the game and prevented it from getting a US release. The Last Story, a JRPG made by Hironobu Sakaguchi (the creator of Final Fantasy) after he left Square Enix, while it did get a North American release thanks to Project Rainfall it was just completely forgotten. Pandora Tower, another JRPG that Project Rainfall helped get a North American release and much like The Last Story it was completely forgotten which is a shame because I did played it and it’s very underrated Code Name S.T.E.A.M, a strategy game made by Intelligent Systems that’s basically a steampunk version of the Avengers featuring characters from American literature and folklore, it even had guest characters from Fire Emblem if you scanned their amiibo.
Early NES titles like Ice climbers, excitebike, balloon fight and so on would make good mobile games. Those games were designed to last a few minutes, which would adapt well to quick bursts of content on the phone during free time.
The entirely PM community is waiting for Explorers DX to be announced one day. I don’t know what Spike Chunsoft has been up to lately. And yeah, ever since Sword/Shield, there’s been a massive uptick in nostalgia for the Genius Sonority games. Between the darker story themes and the more soulful graphics, a lot of people see GS as superior to Game Freak in terms of animation. Unfortunately, they’ve been delegated to working on Pokemon Cafe.
Whoa, hold thy horses! just for the record, Petz existed Looooong before Nintendogs. Nintendogs was my relief for the online community around Petz dwindling. The console versions of Petz were weak at best and new for post NintenDogs.. but Dogz and Catz existed from the mid 90s on the PC with a sizable community of people that hexed the breed files to create breeds the game wasn't developing fast enough, started breeding kennels, dog shows, agility trials, etc. It was a bit over the top really but the peak was probably around 1999 when Dogz 4 and Catz 4 were released. The version 5 left fans a little disappointed and the fandom tapered. But it was very different from Nintendogs and definitely caught and/or started the fad of virtual pets even before the little keychain ones came into play. I didn't mean for this to sound quite so aggressive but I guess I still remember those times and what I got out of it (I learned HTML because of those silly life form simulations) that I felt a way about hearing the franchise talked about as a failed follow-up to a decent console game of similar taste.
I miss the times where the gaming industry actually took risks and made exotic looking games, man. Now everything out there is the same rehashed formula ensured to make money because "why ditch it if it works". I can only handle so many "remastered/remake" games that try to capitalize on nostalgia :/
I don't think scared is the word you're looking for. they're not popu;ar enough. some of these series/games have very vocal and dedicated fanbases. it's easy to imagine they're bigger and that nintendo is leaving lots of money on the table when the fact is that it's probably not very profitable to make more entries
If Nintendo could just stop relying so much on Kirby, Mario, Metroid, Pokemon and Zelda, that would be GREAT. All jokes aside, it kind of seems like Nintendo has no clue what to do with a LOT of the IP's that they published or created.

I want to point out that Dogz/Catz/Petz series predates Nintendogs by 10 years as it was first released in 1995.
God,,, Dogz, Dogz Fashion, and Petz Vet for the GBA were my favorite games growing up,,, I still have my cartridges, actually! Prized possessions haha
I remember a game from that era called 3D Petz: Splat the Cat.
The start menu promised at least 9 games in the series with stuff like a dog, a goldfish, a t-rex, etc.
They only got 3 of the games made before the series was either cancelled or the studio went bankrupt.
I remember having it on our family's first PC back then. Although it was mostly a screensaver.
Catz on gbc, but on a emulator site called vizzed lmao
There is also "Ballz 3D"
Ever since of Miitopia’s crazy amount of Customization on the miis I’m surprised we never got a Tomodatchi life with the switch’s Miitopia Mii maker

I like the idea for a Tomodachi Life 2, when I played the Tomodachi game on the 3ds I felt some things about the game were lacking. If this game was supposed to mimic real life, a school should have been provided for your islanders' children. If 1 had been included, the school lessons would be somewhat similar to attending a quiz show.
Another series which was not mentioned in this video was the Sims games. That game was never put on the Switch, similar games yes, but not that particular franchise.
Yes! I would love the sims on switch
yes
Regarding the Mother franchise: The reason why there aren't more games being made is because doing so would go against the creator's wishes. Mother is owned by both Nintendo and Hobonichi, the company of series creator Itoi. Itoi has stated that he is satisfied where the series is currently, and does not see a reason on expanding it further. I definitely think Mother 3 needs a western release, but I don't think it would be right to continue making more games for a story that the creator said is finished. Anything beyond would be more akin to fanfiction.
Also, one reason why Mother 3 hasn't been localized (among others): When the fan translation team launched their translation, Nintendo sent them a letter that basically said "yeah you did this better than we ever could lol".
Rare moment where Nintendo didn't send their demon lawyers against innocents:
Its because mother 3 would be a controversial game with its stereotypes and themes that would not fly at all today, and it would be a very hard game to localize without changing the story too much

Considering one of the games has men in drag called "trans vestites", a character who's strongly hinted at being gay in English but not Japanese, "those german" alien pigs, and a handful of other raunchy topics
But the first few games still got localised with no one batting an eye, and then re-released on the virtual console _showing off_ some of those risqué subjects in the trailer.
The only reason they wouldn't localise it is if the subject matter is too dark, that's been their usual MO.
@@TC_EHGLthey aren't the best representation but they aren't godawful (except that one that's implied to have molested Lucas.)
I've had my Tomodachi Life island since my 16th birthday (in 2019), and I do still play the game at times. It's the craziest game I've ever played.
I really hope there will a tomodachi life for the next nintendo console 🙏🏻 I'm also hoping they'll put in same-sex relationships in that next hypothetical version, because the fact that those were missing was one of my biggest hang-ups while playing the original (I kinda understand why they didn't at the time, but I hope things will be different now)
@elena_eleen Bad idea. The whole world is against the LBGTQ community right now. Stupid laws are being made discriminating against them and if Nintendo releases Tomodachi Life with that in it (I want this as well) Nintendo might get accused of "going woke." Not a good idea right now
@@elena_eleenbut what about controversy
@@elena_eleen . If that was included in the game, so should the option of adopting children, like in the Sims games.
@@elena_eleenThey shouldn't feel the need to put in a little same sex thing just because a small part of America demands so. If Nintendo doesn't care about doing that, then that's totally fine. If I'm being honest, not giving us Tomodachi Life on Switch because of the controversy sounds like a fair punishment for Americans trying to pressure a game company into focusing on their culture instead of what Nintendo would want.
“Scared” is the wrong word for these games. The Problem is that none of these games sold well covering their costs and had device exclusive mechanics. It’s not Scared, it’s Financial Literacy. Earthbound, Kid Icarus and FZERO were flops almost anywhere so rebooting this franchises was ill advised in Nintendo’s Part. Wonder why Pikmin 4 took so long? Because it was a risky investment by Nintendo to continue the series as the games weren’t getting enough traction. You really only know these games now by Smash Bros.
Their president is a numbers guy and he focus on titles that brought numbers. Pikmin 4 was a gamble and paid off.
pikmin only continued to exist because its miyamoto's baby. in the end it worked out for him but it only saw the light of day cause he wanted it to
Scared is still the right word. They're scared that they won't sell well- not irrational fears definitely, but valid fears with lots of reasoning are still fears.
Seeing Kid Icarus in the thumbnail reminds me of when I played Kid Icarus Uprising on the 3DS. Man, gotta go find my cartridge and boot it up after all these years.
Be sure to enjoy some multiplayer before the 3ds servers shutdown in April
@@lyinginertia got it. Thanks for the reminder ☺️👍
Hope you can play it online before the online play shuts off by early April
As a gay man it's hard to buy a game like Tomogachi Life knowing you won't have the option to marry the same gender. I get why Nintendo is so hesitant to even mention anything LGBTQ+ related because of what happened to Disney, but The Sims has been doing it for many years and the community loves the extra options that they can marry whoever they like.
I don’t think Nintendogs would do well on switch like you said, those virtual pet games were ran into the ground. But I could see them making bank off of a mobile app targeted at kids maybe.
I think Nintendo already tried it via mobile
@@therealjaystone2344 there’s been talk but it’s never been released. What do you mean?
I would pledge my loyalty to them forever if they bring out Pokémon ranger again. I'd even give them my first born if they make another remake of Pokémon Heartgold and soul silver 😩
Remake of a remake XD But yeah Heartgold/Soulsilver were the best!!!
Eh that series could stay dead
Shadows of Almia was the only more traditional Pokémon game I liked growing up (I did grow up and have fun with Stadium and Snap) until Moon. I thought I’d try the ultra Moon game but I hate how slow and hand holdy it ended up being and how similar story wise it was to Moon 😅 It felt too copy and paste from the first one and I tried to rly love it cuz it wasn’t cheap but I had to stop only ~30% through cus it was just too beat for beat as the first game and very hand holdy 😭 I get it’s a kids series but having a separate difficulty option that skips tutorials and things that make me feel like I’m being treated like a literal infant would be great 😅 I feel like Shadows of Almia got the balance just right with the school and as a kid I actually enjoyed getting stuck at the deadly cliffs with that big boss ramming into the mountain
@@littl3evee He's probably referring to something like Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu being a remake of Leaf Green/Fire Red, but Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu is really a remake of Yellow Version. For remaking Crystal Version, something else different has to be done, because Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu did a bad sale. Johto is my favorite region, but I do not want the Let's Go series to return, because I'm too lazy to finish the pokedex in that game, so I just traded my game in without finishing my pokedex, and even traded in the pokeball plus, because I have no need for it anymore. I could use the pokeball plus for Pokemon Go, but I'm done with it, and I promised to stay away from it, and after staying away from it, it seems to have got me away from drama, so I promise to stay away from Pokemon Go, and I'm happier that way.
Omg pokemon ranger was the best! But as for HGSS… these games are already so perfect, i dont want them do do anything with it haha
Well ok, it’s less Nintendo’s too scared to bring back Mother, and more that Itoi feels he’s done telling the story he wanted to tell, which we should respect……… BUT YA WANNA KNOW A FRANCHISE NINTENDON’T *IS* AFRAID TO BRING BACK? POKEPARK. THAT GAME SERIES KICKED ASS-
I pretty much grew up playing The Legendary Starfy on my DS. The OST for that game is amazing. It's such a fun, great game!
If they did make a new game, or at least a remake or something, I would be buying it immediately.
Same, recently bought the first 2 GBA games
@@nick-cepticon782 ooh, cool. I've never played those!
@@SapphireTheArtist2002 u should! They’re amazing; more stylized sprite work, fantastic osts, and additional charming touches that were excluded from the US Starfy game
Little Friends: Dogs and Cats is probably the closest to a Nintendogs you can get on the switch. There’s also Little Friends: Puppy Island, which doesn’t have cats, but has a small story mode.
It scratches that Nintendogs itch. I’d still like to see what Nintendo would do themselves tho.
Would love to see Starfy come back.
Easily in my top 10 DS games
I feel the reason we haven't seen a new stadium game, is because the main selling point of those games were the fact you can battle your Pokémon in a 3D stadium. Now that all the games are 3d there is little incentive to do so. Unless they go the opposite route with pixel art, but that probably won't happen.
It's worth noting that quite a few of these IPs aren't actually owned by Nintendo directly, just licenced for their systems by third parties.
And even the ones that are, they have full control over to request a new entry.
Not to mention some of these games had entries a few years ago, even if they were remakes or ports...
Mystery Dungeon, Mother, and Pokemon Ranger are all franchises that were developed by a third party that own the rights to some aspect of those games directly.
While Nintendo and Creatures Inc both co-own The Pokemon Company alongside Game Freak, for example, Hal Lab is entirely independent of either and is co-owner of the Mother franchise alongside Creatures Inc (specifically 2 and 3 which they co-developed) and also owns the design of the catching mechanic used in the Ranger games.
Mystery Dungeon is a non-Pokemon series owned by Chunsoft which licenses Pokemon for one of its spin-off series, it would be on them to approach Nintendo about making new games not vice versa.
Also, some IPs are the other way around. The IP belongs to Nintendo, but the games are made by studios outside of Nintendo.
The best known of these are HAL with Kirby, IS with Fire Emblem and of course Pokemon.
But then there is also the new DKC games and Metroid Prime made by Retro, Luigis Mansion now made by Next Level Games or resently Metroid and Mercury Steam.
I just think that Nintendos internal studios are already always working on a game, that Nintendo doesn't have the capability to work on all their IPs. So they outsourcethem to other studios, which may be interested in working on this.
They aren’t scared they’re perfectionists the timing has to be perfect and stars and planets have to align
Also starfox isn’t dead we had starfox content in the switch era
True
Fzero too
i mean, star link wasn't exactly a star fox game, but at least we got the scrambles, unlike Kid Icarus-
Rumours might not mean anything, but I think it's rumoured that Star Fox is gonna get a new game.
@@duebfofn The good news is that Arcade shooters are still a thing in indie games. Good examples include Ex Zodiac, Gridd Retroenhanced, Astrodomes, and Astebreed: Definitive Edition.
Friendly Reminder to buy Another Code Recollection to support smaller Nintendo franchises
No Fossil Fighters Here! C mon our franchise went extinct in 2015 but man all of Fans want to see it return so bad on the Switch.
For real!!!
Fossil fighters would be cool we need games like that on switch
The OG Fossil Fighters on the DS was 1 of my favs growing up, still remember those characters & settings even after all this time
Truly had a charm like no other
Searched through the video to see if he talked about it, he didn't sadly. A remake/port of the first game would be amazing, but we will have to wait and see.
Was also kind of waiting for it to be mentioned as well. The first two games were really fun and some of my favorites as a kid. To be fair though, I understand why they haven't touched it since frontier on the 3ds because that game was basically a nail in the coffin for the series and because how heavily the game relied on the touch screen gimmick. But A modern remake or reboot of the series drawing from the gameplay of the first two would be really awesome.
I can understand wanting Mother 3, but the devs have stated multiple times that they consider Mother a completed franchise. They did everything they wanted to across those 3 games. If you want a similar experience a lot of indie and fan games have you covered. Id also say try Dragon Quest, the series is actually pretty close structurally due to Mother taking influence directly from it.
Hope we get a new Nintendo Direct soon.
In February
@@therealjaystone2344 I hope so.
I don't consider Mother as something to bring back. The series is just finished. I can see remakes and ports but it doesn't need a new game entry.
The localization would’ve been horrible nowadays
I’m one of the few DS owners (and I grew up with it playing DS games so much) to have never played Nintendogs even to this day.
I was waiting the whole time for spectrobes or fossil fighters and was shocked they weren't included. A pokepark 3 or a new ranger game would also be really cool
If they will bring back Fossil Fighters, they should have a crossover DLC or event with Jurassic World so that we can get the Indominus rex and the Indoraptor.
37:44 Interestingly enough, Magical Starsign isn't a one-and-done kinda game. It's actually a sequel to the Japan-exclusive GBA game Magical Vacation, created by Mana series devs after leaving Squaresoft in 2000! So if Nintendo were to bring the series back, maybe we could also see a proper Magical Vacation localization :D!
Thanks for mentioning Golden Sun. I love the series. Every Nintendo console since the DS I've been paying attention to Camelot's releases of Mario Golf and Tennis games hoping the next game would be Golden Sun.
If Golden Sun came out on the 3DS or WiiU I would have bought one for that game alone
"Donkey Kong was repurposed to a side-scrolling adventure" To be fair, Donkey Kong Country existed way before DK64 was even an idea.
As a massive Kid Icarus fan, I hope to one day watch a Direct live like I always do, hoping for Kid Icarus content, and actually getting it. I'll actually start crying if I hear the main theme of KI in a Direct this year
Yeah, I’m always hoping for Kid Icarus, nintendogs, starfy, pushmo, and many more.
@@eileengalindo4949 I recommend Owl boy as a Kid Icarus successor.
My series that I want back that will likely never come back is style savvy. It was published by nintendo and synsophia, but nintendo owns the IP. Synsophia is still doing fashion games exclusive to nintendo platforms, just without their official partnership with nintendo- if nintendo wanted to do it, they could. But, for a lot of reasons, they likely never will. I can accept that, but I'm still going to be sad about it.
1:54 nahh purr pals was a vibe!!! I loved driving my cat around in a truck and my mom loved the little music mini game.. we loved it so much the too this day we still meow along to the little songs that where in there 😂 purr pals made my child hood
Technically tomodachi life is the second game in the series: the first one was for DS but it was Japanese exclusive because the DS couldn’t handle the English voices of the miis for some reason so the English release had to be scrapped. But I still want a third game.
The problem with bringing back Diddy Kong Racing is that, besides Diddy Kong, Krunch, & Tricky (As well and Tiny & Dixie if we’re counting the DS version) every character in that game is owned by Microsoft
False Microsoft does not own them they only own characters introduced in dk64 and diddykong racing games. Others are strictly from the donkey Kong series which Nintendo owns also Nintendo and Microsoft work together. Litterally why rare games are on the Nintendo game passes which are better than Xbox game pass and actually worth the price while xbox gamepass is not worth 18 bucks a month
@@bob-g2h I said besides those characters
Some corrections:
The original Sin and Punishment came out on the Wii Virtual Console in the west before the Switch version.
Endless Ocean wasn't a "one and done" as it had a sequel 'Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep'.
Also, I can't believe you didn't include Chibi Robo, it's been 9 years since we last saw that series 😢
Man I’ve been wanted Starfy 6 for so long! And for them to translate the first 4 games as well….
I really want a brand new Pokémon mystery dungeon game…we haven’t had an original one since Gen 6….
No, bc it's the way I've been begging, fooling myself that Nintendo will make a starfy game again
Funny thing is that my OC’s name is Gorden son and I didn’t know they was a game called golden sun
Finally!, someone mentions Magical Starsign! :D Now there's a dormant Nintendo IP I would love to see get a new entry.
I actually have a ridiculous sense of PTSD when it comes to "Nintendogs" because of the donation feature and the fact you could starve your pets.
i would not emotionally survive tomogotchi 💀
They can't die unfortunately butttt there's a chance that married miis can get divorced, found this out when my mii sadly broke up with ed Sheeran. I got so mad I deleted him from my island and didn't play it for like a month lol
I thought they brought back Nintendogs but with another name.
Edit: ok it may not be the same people but it's called little friends. I saw it while browsing games in Walmart.
I did read that Nintendo is remaking Super Punch Out, but someone told me that they are not, because Punch Out for Wii did a bad sale, due to Donkey Kong being too difficult, so they are not doing another Punch Out game. I can see that as the problem, because they might have to bring in another character from a different game. I do see a chance for King Dedede or Bowser as the secret opponent if Super Punch Out gets a remake, and probably one new fighter to each circuit, like Kid Quick, Pizza Pasta, Mr. Dream, and a brand new opponent (like Bear Hugger and Aran Ryan from Super Punch Out and a brand new opponent named Disco Kid came in Punch Out for Wii). I read Nintendo's contract with Mike Tyson expired, and that's why Nintendo remade Punch Out on NES by replacing Mike Tyson with Mr. Dream. I read Mike Tyson was not in the Wii version, because he retired from boxing. I read Mr. Dream was not in, because he was hated by alot of fans for replacing Mike Tyson. I do not see a chance of Mike Tyson joining Super Punch Out. What if Mr. Dream came in as new? You do not have to believe everything I posted, because my info can be wrong, because I been getting info from other people, but about the boxers being in Super Punch Out remake, it's just my guess, and even someone suggested those boxers to return. From what I been seeing and been told, I do not think Nintendo will bring Punch Out back.
What’s the remix of running in the 90s used in this video?
Bandai Namco is working on a 3D action game remake. and they have a new studio for Nintendo games. and Masahiro Sakurai says that he wants to make a remake or a remaster of Kid Icarus Uprising one day
I once had a dream where there was a Tomodachi Life sequel named Tomodachi Life: Versus World. I remember each Mii living between several high-rise apartments, as well as food trucks and an area that looked like the classic stair and flagpole from Super Mario Bros. This was all I saw.
As someone who has played Tomodachi several times and bought the Miitopia port, I would buy a Tomodachi Life sequel.
I see this and I'm reminded of this statement from Telltale from before they shut down saying something to the effect of "These series are an important part of our company's past, but not its future." Call me negative, but I think at this point, Nintendo might see these off-series as being good only for nostalgic releases (like for NSO) and nothing else. I see the same thing with other publishers with lots of highly requested nostalgic properties, like Capcom, Sega, Square-Enix, Konami, Sony, and more, and think a big new release for any of those series is just never going to happen, no matter how much we'd want it. They'd understandably rather spend their money and effort on a sequel to a flagship franchise that they know will sell decently than a revival of an old or obscure series that might bomb. I'd love to be proven wrong here (and it looks like Sega's trying to), but I just don't see it.
Well, I'm sufficiently bummed out now. I'm gonna watch some hip-hop dance videos to cheer myself up.
I wanted to point out that in Kid Icarus: Uprising that some people had developed hand injuries while playing this game on the DS with the stylus pen controls.
Maybe on the Switch that could reduce and make it easier to play!
They should port to switch
I was really hoping punch out would have been mentioned. I adore punch-out and we haven't gotten a new one in over a decade
One series I’d love to see revived is The Last Story. I loved the story, the characters, and game mechanics - and, it was essentially a spiritual successor, to a degree, of final fantasy. I still keep holding onto hope that we’ll get an HD remake or true sequel to it.
it'd be nice to have golden sun come back but that isnt happening anytime soon cuz camelot got sent to the mario sports mines
Pokemon isn't making another battling game, they have a normal battle system in game where you can rent teams and battle against people or NPCs. The team renting thing in Sword and Shield onward is the same as the older games. Even in the older games they had the battle frontier and battle towers, but since we now have mainline games on the switch and not the ds, there isn't a need to showcase graphics on a big screen when they're already on the big screen.
I have a strong gut feeling that some of these games series will come back
I think starfox or kid icarus are the most likely because the other ones either wouldn't work well with the switch hardware or just nintendo is not interested in them
@@morayfrye Your right.
I feel like starfy is so underrated the story is very cute and the ending is down right bonkers i wish theyd translate the older games cuz i really want to play them and see if they are just as good
13:18 the thing about this is that the Mother/Earthbound series is owned by Shigesato Itoi and Nintendo, and Nintendo respects it as Itoi’s baby pretty much. Itoi has no interest in making a 4th game considering how long and arduous the journey was to finally release Mother 3. He still loves his series ofc.
A little correction. Sin and Punishment finally came to the west on the Wii's Virtual Console before the switch came out, so it saw a western localization WAY before switch online
No mention of the Mario and Luigi games? I know alphadream is dead but for a Mario spin-off that has such a cult following that with some of the best games of certain consoles being games in that series it's criminal they don't at least try to get another team to work on another one.
Mystery Dungeon games have always had a special place in my heart and I hope to see a new one at some point. But I also feel like that may not happen. But that's probably one of my biggest wishes. A new Mystery Dungeon game.
To be honest, aside from wishing for another F-Zero game (and another WipEout game, but that's a rant for Sony...), I'm still waiting on a few game series to come back.
•Warioland
•Custom Robo
•Steel Diver
•Lylat Wars (it's been decades!)
•Pullblox/Fullblox
•X (no, not that one. The one by Argonaut)
•Dillon's Rolling Western
•Ever Oasis (although that's more because I like the fan art people drew of Miura...)
I'm dying out here missing these franchises!
Keep up the videos, I’ve been watching every single one of them, and being a blast!
screaming crying throwing up waiting for nintendo to bring back the pokemon ranger series
I don’t think we need anymore EarthBound unless it’s a trilogy remake.
The story is over and there’s no need to keep it going. Just like how I don’t think we need another Xenoblade after 3. Sometimes it’s ok to let a series end
you know whats hilarious, ive just watched this and a new endless ocean game was announced/possibly released? like a few weeks ago
From what I know Earthbound was very controversial when they tried to show it to western audiences, especially at the time
I’m still upset they never translated Kirby super star stacker when they put it on NSO…
How quickly people forget Wario world games a banger idc what anyone has to say we need a Wario land 2 with waluigi as the second player option
I really hope we get another nintendogs game one day. Such a big part of my childhood
Yes, I'm sure it's not calculated market data analysis but fear.
ive had my 3DS since 2016, and i still play Tomodachi life on it. need a second one with updated features and mechanics for sure :'0
22:06 I have been playing through animal crossing new horizons again C.J. refers to flick as his partner. Sure the word partner doesnt always mean being involved with someone romantically but the way it's used has some romantic implications.
did you- did you just call DS era PMD's story content... decent?
My sweet summer child, you've done it now.
I don’t see Nintendogs being bought if it came back. You got to figure the DS was for casual kids so… yeah…
I wouldn't say they are scared.
They know it won't sell well.
I want a Kid Icarus Uprising Remake on the Switch so bad. Just rework the controls, polish up the environments. I'd play it.
Waluigi is just here to party
Idk personally I am pretty ok with just letting franchises die, this frees up development time for completely new franchises and ideas. They have such a large roster of franchises, they simply cant keep em all running AND make new franchises, that would overload the switch with games and would reduce average. Sales per game thus reducing revenue
this video is basically a “whatever happened to that character from smash bros” and i live for it!
Endless ocean series from the Wii was absolute masterpiece
I saw Starfy on the thumbnail so what I will say for that is that TOSE would have to want to make more Starfy games as well since The Legendary Starfy series is owned by both TOSE and Nintendo.
I miss Starfy 😭
They need to do this!! So many great ips being slept on is sad!!! It would really help there exclusive lineup if they continued a lot of these series
If they remake it I just hope they lose the voice controls or make them 100% optional. Other than that I loved those games as a kid
Nintendogs was one that I had back in the day. I chose the dachshund version because at the time one of my grandmothers had one. The dachshund I started with was named Willow for the one that she had. I also had a sheltie, a pug, a husky, a sheba inu, a yorky and a shnouser that were named lassie, frank, white fang, akane, shinji, and tilly respectively. Tilly was named for the shnouser my other grandmother used to have. I was waiting for poodles to be available to get one to name after a mini poodle that a former coworker of mine had back in the day. Don't remember what three I had with me when I last played.
I miss golden sun...
They're not scared. They just know they don't need to since they can sell you a GBA game at full price
I'm actually convinced Nintendo have already bene working on the next tomodachi but are waiting until gay marriage is legalized in Japan
Endless Ocean actually is not owned by Nintendo - its a spiritual successor to the everblue series, nintendo just published it and thus can't really bring it back without ariko.
As far as mother is concerned, the original creator has stated that he doesn’t want to continue the series because it took too much out of him which is perfectly understandable, not everything needs to keep going on. And being honest, Nintendo just has way too many IPs to keep up with, especially when the main point of a business is to make money so it’s only natural some games will get left behind
Here are some other Nintendo IPs you forgot to mention that they should bring back
Disaster Day Of Crisis, it was the first game made by Monolith Soft after they were acquired by Nintendo and it’s basically Uncharted mix with Metal Gear Soild in the style of a Roland Emmeric disaster movie, it looked like a lot of fun but unfortunately never saw a western release because not only did it sold poorly in Japan and Europe but even Reggie hated the game and prevented it from getting a US release.
The Last Story, a JRPG made by Hironobu Sakaguchi (the creator of Final Fantasy) after he left Square Enix, while it did get a North American release thanks to Project Rainfall it was just completely forgotten.
Pandora Tower, another JRPG that Project Rainfall helped get a North American release and much like The Last Story it was completely forgotten which is a shame because I did played it and it’s very underrated
Code Name S.T.E.A.M, a strategy game made by Intelligent Systems that’s basically a steampunk version of the Avengers featuring characters from American literature and folklore, it even had guest characters from Fire Emblem if you scanned their amiibo.
A Chibi Robo revival would be cool.
I would love Tomodachi Life to be brought to the Switch!
I think it would be difficult because of how it relied on the duel screens
Early NES titles like Ice climbers, excitebike, balloon fight and so on would make good mobile games. Those games were designed to last a few minutes, which would adapt well to quick bursts of content on the phone during free time.
Nes remix mobile game….?
The entirely PM community is waiting for Explorers DX to be announced one day. I don’t know what Spike Chunsoft has been up to lately.
And yeah, ever since Sword/Shield, there’s been a massive uptick in nostalgia for the Genius Sonority games. Between the darker story themes and the more soulful graphics, a lot of people see GS as superior to Game Freak in terms of animation. Unfortunately, they’ve been delegated to working on Pokemon Cafe.
we need kid icarus reboot PLEAS!!!! I loved kid icarus uprising growing up
Whoa, hold thy horses! just for the record, Petz existed Looooong before Nintendogs. Nintendogs was my relief for the online community around Petz dwindling. The console versions of Petz were weak at best and new for post NintenDogs.. but Dogz and Catz existed from the mid 90s on the PC with a sizable community of people that hexed the breed files to create breeds the game wasn't developing fast enough, started breeding kennels, dog shows, agility trials, etc. It was a bit over the top really but the peak was probably around 1999 when Dogz 4 and Catz 4 were released. The version 5 left fans a little disappointed and the fandom tapered. But it was very different from Nintendogs and definitely caught and/or started the fad of virtual pets even before the little keychain ones came into play.
I didn't mean for this to sound quite so aggressive but I guess I still remember those times and what I got out of it (I learned HTML because of those silly life form simulations) that I felt a way about hearing the franchise talked about as a failed follow-up to a decent console game of similar taste.
I miss the times where the gaming industry actually took risks and made exotic looking games, man. Now everything out there is the same rehashed formula ensured to make money because "why ditch it if it works". I can only handle so many "remastered/remake" games that try to capitalize on nostalgia :/
Thank god we're still getting Endless Ocean 3
I don't think scared is the word you're looking for. they're not popu;ar enough. some of these series/games have very vocal and dedicated fanbases. it's easy to imagine they're bigger and that nintendo is leaving lots of money on the table when the fact is that it's probably not very profitable to make more entries
I bet I'm not the first to mention, but: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX
If Nintendo could just stop relying so much on Kirby, Mario, Metroid, Pokemon and Zelda, that would be GREAT. All jokes aside, it kind of seems like Nintendo has no clue what to do with a LOT of the IP's that they published or created.
