Gaming What I would like to see from Nintendo on the DS

[Uncle FEFL]

as far as i know the ds was only a project and the whole team thought the idea of two screens would be an epic fail, but after the big succes of the ds (phat) the lite came out...check wikipedia...

i think there is a good chance to see some good games, even if they aren´t from the major franchise of nintendo and who cares about it...the important thing is to get good games...

i would love to see some classic snes ports like demon´s crest, the dkc series, secret of mana 2...but that´s impossible...in addition i would love to see a 2D metroid game again, but that´s impossible too^^

I think that's false. Who spends money on a system that might fail? Investing is one thing, but if all of them disagreed then there's no way that idea would be released to the public.


EDIT: Think about it. "Yeah, the DS might fail, In fact, our entire team thinks the same, but let's spend millions of dollars on it anyway."

Yeah, Chinatown didn't let you pick up a hooker... And it didn't have the slingshot swingset.

LoZ remake...Like "New Legend of Zelda" upgraded graphics, etc...
Super Mario World remake ala "New Super Mario Bros."
a new Donkey Kong country.
Paper Mario DS
Some new fucking IP!!!

*drools over the possibility over a LoZ: Orcania of time DS*

and a Loz that isn't cell shaded

I'd like to see more games that are free of bugs/glitches (just recently was playing harvest moon DS) asking that fom the Devs of Harvest Moon is kind of asking a lot though, considering their track record.

Sonic remakes from the PC/Genesis!!! Updated with Sonic Rush graphics, wi-fi for time battles and scores then some fun mini-games.

I don't think Nintendo themselves will be releasing any big-branded Nintendo developed titles for the DS anytime soon if ever at all again. Surely nothing like another 3D Metroid title or ports of older titles revamped for the DS.

They only seem to release their in-house developed titles near the beginning of the system's lifespan and let the licensed developers take control of things when they start to pick up (System sales that is).

The DSi is selling very well so we can look forward to lots and lots of shovelware with a few key titles from licensed developers. If sales start to slacken off, then I think we can look forwards to a new system and new titles from the big N. It probably costs a bucketload to make a 3D game like Metroid Hunters on the DS and I think N. would only be willing to part with that if they thought it would help with system sales.

I'm guessing they're doing similiar to what they did with the original GB. Build up the system sales with converts/sequels of older titles. Release another system/systems with tweaked or minor upgrades (To develop or maintain flagging interest in the system), then an entirely new system with backwards compatibility to the old system while offering 'new'* stuff (* = upgraded older titles or sequels with slightly different/upgraded play mechanics/graphics) to get *everyone's* attention again.

It sucks there's not more originality/hardcore development on the DS than there is. Blame the shovelware producers and the shovelware buyers for turning the DS into a casual/toddler gaming brand.

The only big convert I've heard about is Golden Sun DS and I'm not sure if that's from the Big N. or not. I've just played the GBA version and didn't really like it to play it again so soon. I haven't even played the Chronotrigger DS port even though I kinda liked the SNES version. I want good *original* games, not ports or minor upgrades of older titles.

Would be true if the hardware or even software sales were "flagging" but they are not. I think the DS still has a good life left in it as far as consoles and software goes. No software house is going to drop the console any time soon especially with the userbase it has.

I am sorry to say it, but what we on here consider shovelware actually sells because it is liked by the target audience, most people on here would not give the imagine series of games time of day an cry "shovelware" as soon as its released but it loved by the young girls out there, the audience it was aimed at. you really think if it sold that badly that they would still be running TV ads in prime time and I was chatting with a friend who works in a game shop and he tells me they are the constant top sellers in the shops.

I agree there is some real badly programmed shovelware out there, but that's the same on any console....

That's not true:
"When the DS was announced (E3 2004), they also announced tons of games for the GBA (like F-Zero GP Legend, Mario Pinbal, Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green,The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Mario Party Advance, Mario Golf Advance, DK: King of Swing, Mario vs Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Country 2 advance), so we can expect to have major announcements for the DS this year's E3 or the next E3(even if they announce another portable system next year). "

I would like to see trackmania ds 2, the first one was just too glitchy and short for me to properly enjoy it.
I'm a big fan of trackmania though

 

[sadak5]

Maybe the rebirth of Tactics Ogre/Ogre Battle Saga?

I'd like to see: No more remakes of dear old nostalgic games. I want something new, something fresh, something with the same high quality, non gimicky and timeless like the classic marios and zeldas and metroids and stuff...
Something that is clearly thought through, star quality, polished 32 times after it's 100% done BEFORE releasing... But still, shouldn't be mario, not zelda... not a competitor to mario either, like sonic... something new.

THAT, and a NEW side scrolling metroid and a NEW side scrolling zelda á la zelda 2
