How come all of nintendo's IPs were made decades ago? Why were they able to make several iconic worlds in a few years when there was also less money to be made?

It seems like the art is dead and it's just business now.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Splatoon, Ring Fit

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

Honestly its about time Nintendo puts their minor series first, hopefully now they'll have enough time for f-zero

[–] peacefulpixel@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

can't wait for them to only be available for a console i refuse to even entertain the thought of having

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

they’ll be emulatable eventually.

Ah yes, SkyDingo.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Some other similar ones: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2269980/FUR_Squadron/ - Small game but feels exactly like star fox. the same dev is coming out with a similar game but more detail/better: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2674650/FUR_Squadron_Phoenix/?curator_clanid=45207376

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2140100/Whisker_Squadron_Survivor/ - Has a very star fox meets rougelike. I liked it but I know a couple of people didnt.

[–] Canuck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

Good finds, thanks for sharing

[–] anakin78z@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

That looks like it would be pretty fun on the steam deck. I'll have to try the demo

[–] Carmakazi@piefed.social 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I always figured Star Fox was dead and buried, considering the last successful game was made in 1997.

[–] TALL421@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly understandable, but the last released Starfox game was 10 years ago. I do think you have a pretty fair assessment as well though

[–] BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Still waiting for a new F-Zero (99 was appreciated, but not a new game, or at least a rerelease of GX with online multiplayer).

I'm just happy Nintendo stopped hating their sci fi franchises enough to let Metroid come back

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] BladeFederation@piefed.social 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I mean it'll have been 10 years soon for a flagship 3D title. Obviously they're going hard on the spinoffs but it's never been this long for main titles.

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

well yea, but we haven't been starved on mainline mario content either. we had bowser's fury in 2020, mario wonder in 2023 (not a 3d game but still mainline), and dk bananza apparently has a lot in common with 3d mario (tho i couldn't tell myself, i didn't play it)

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

DK Bananza was made by the Odyssey team so it makes sense there isn't another 3d Mario on the horizon yet

[–] BladeFederation@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago

I hear you and I'll take (finally) a classic3D DK over yet another Mario. But it's still weird.

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 3 points 22 hours ago

I wonder if they are going to do a Marvel and make a bunch of movies, cameos....then a Smash Bros crossover movie.

The games and movies would print them money.

[–] XiberKernel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Zelda 2 remake on the BotW/TotK engine!

New Star Fox game without a console gimmick!

What? I can dream.

Stop remaking Star Fox 64, it’s not even the best star fox game

[–] ISolox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Wonder what Zelda remake it will be. All of main console ones have been remade in some form to my knowledge. Maybe a handheld game?

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I don't think there has really ever been a 3D Zelda remake. WindWaker, Tiwlight princess, and skyward sword were all HD remasters. The 3DS versions of Ocaraina of Time and Majoras Mask might count as remakes, but didn't modify too much.

The only real "remake" I can think of is Links Awakening for the switch.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

NateTheHate is claiming it's Ocarina of Time.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 hours ago

I imagine the movie might borrow a lot of beats from that movie so for "corporate synergy" it would make sense that they would remake that

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Wouldn't be surprised if it's the NES and SNES games so they can sue archive sites harder.

[–] towamo7603@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

My money is on the Oracle games or Minish Cap.
