Franchises you want Nintendo to bring back.

F-Zero with the gameplay of GX/AX and the track editor of Climax. DO IT.

Is Climax good? Its the only Fzero Ive not beaten, just because getting a copy is decently expensive.

Not only is Climax good, I'd go as far to call it the best F-Zero ever made. GX is a totally different beast, so I really consider that a spin off.
...

-Some gameplay ideas borrowed from GX/AX, such as fine tuning acceleration vs max speed, the spin attack, destroying other racers or knocking them off course, tracks you can fall off of without a ramp, etc.

Have you not played F-Zero X? All of that stuff was in that one too.

More games where Luigi is the main character. I know we're getting the 3DS Luigi's Mansion, but I want more.

Some more Wario Beat 'em ups.

Do something with Waluigi or get rid of him...

You're right. Climax is like F-Zero X, but it's much much better with far more attention given to the music, course designs and controls. Also it's in 2D and the track editor like the N64DD expansion kit.

Star tropics?

Star tropics?

God no

I really wasn't a fan of startropics, and startropics 2 looks even worse. Mind you, I suppose a modern version could play very differently.

Would probably have to be significantly different to zelda though.

I'd love to see a resurgence of all the franchises they've been ignoring. Donkey Kong did get Returns ... but it really feels like it needs something new there. Like, evolutionary, not just a "fill the void" game.

I want to see new (ACTUALLY NEW, not Prime era) Metroid, of course.

I think a revisit to StarTropics land would be pretty awesome. The second one is OK, but the first game is really good, it's also really interesting.

Mother/Earthbound, of course.
StarFox, why was there none on wii? (And I don't mean one made by Namco either)
I'd love more games that are main characters we haven't seen get games before. As long as the mechanics and the game make sense around them.

I'd actually like to see a revisit to a lot of the ideas introduced in Geist. I thought it was a pretty clever concept, even if the game itself wasn't fantastic.

A re-imagining of Ice Climbers could be really interesting too.

But honestly ... I just want an old-innovative style new franchise Nintendo game. Most people agree that Pikmin was pretty much the last of that stuff. All the new franchises have been focused on other things like party games or compilations or working out.

It'd be nice to have something fresh and new and different with new characters and worlds. Something that has the texture to be an expanded universe, not just a one off game that Nintendo owns. (they've had plenty of those in recent years)

Also probably everything else everyone mentioned in this thread.

Why is it that everytime Nintendo makes a new IP, everyone ignores it and then complains about the lack of IP's?
