Topic: What type of games should the Rev launch with?

[Luffy1Piece]

At Launch

First and Second Party Titles

New Super Mario Bros
Super Smash Bros Online
New game that starts a new franchise for Nintendo which either is very appealing to the American market(GTA or Halo) or is equally appealing to both US and Japanese markets (RE or MGS).  Having Retro work on this title would be a great idea. Online play for this title would also be huge plus.
Camelot RPG. We know one is in develpment, they just need to hopefully have it finished and localized in time for the US launch.


Third Party Titles

Namco: New Ridge Racer or Soul Calibur IV
Capcom: Resident Evil 5, a new Viewtiful Joe, or if they can reinvent the series to take advantage of what the Revolution offers, then Mega Man 9 or Street Fighter IV.
Konami: Since the Castlevania team is tied up right now with two new titles, a new CV is unlikely for launch. I'd say instead they should go for a new reinvention of the Contra series. Maybe toss in a Winning Eleven in there for good measure.
Sega: New Sonic game. It's Sega's best selling franchise and is the game that would be most beneficial to Nintendo in regards to helping drive Revolution sales.
Square-Enix: Some new FF VII related game.
And of course the typical EA Sports and new Tony Hawk games that we see pretty much on every system.


Post Launch

For the next six months after launch Nintendo should have a reinvention of an old classic series released(Punch-Out being an easy one to develop) along with something else like a Wario Ware game. By the end of the first year they also need to have a new Metroid and yet another new big  franchise starting game available. By the end of the second they should try and have another Camelot RPG, another reinvention of an old abandoned Nintendo franchise(Perhaps Kid Icarus this time around), possibly a sequel to the new franchise game that the system launched with and a new Zelda. For third party support, they defintely need Dragon Quest IX on the system even if it's not exclusive, just so long as it makes an appearance on the Revolution. Same for GTA.

Super Smash Brothers 3d
Shenmue Final
Golden Sun 4(3 will be on the DS)
F-Zero Universe
Reggie Go's to Harlem.
Super Mokey Ball 3
and then...






a bunch of crap.  What Nintendo launch would be complete without a bunch of crap. Not that i dont love Nintendo but the law of averages says something has to suck. Lets just hope its not something major.  

[Stimutacs Addict]

advanced media network posted news that Nintendo filed for a trademark for PUNCH OUT!! very recently.... now likely it is just to renew their trademark, but how perfectly would Punch Out work with gyration and a break-apart controller?

i smell success

[Bill Aurion]

Golden Sun 4(3 will be on the DS)

Camelot is NOT working on a DS game right now...They have gone on record to say so...

You better not be referring to Luigi's Mansion because I'll have to smash heads...  

[Hostile Creation]

On a side note, I liked the way Mario Sunshine looked.
Though I'll also readily confess to preferring Pikmin somewhat.

Bill Aurion, if Golden Sun 3 is not coming to the Ds this year, I buy you a 2-liter of your favorite soda and a case of hotdogs. No really its coming, I'm so sure bcuz my friend said so. She's always wrong so when I asked her about Golden Sun3 she said the same thing about Camelot not working on anything for the Ds. So there. ITS ON THE WAY BABY, SHERRI IS NEVER, EVER RIGHT!!!!!

But *I* am, so I completely throw off that balance...

[wushupants]

ask this sherri for me if there's a final fantasy coming to Revolution at launch... just make sure she says no.

[zakkiel]

Didn't mean to say that any game in particular needed to be more mature, just that Nintendo should try one innovative mature title besides Geist, about which I have some qualms right now.  

[GamecubeBoy05]

they need to make a (true Crime Streets Of LA 2) or something along the line related to this game. i think it is like something of gta because you get out of your car killing people and stuff. i thought true crime was a eccelent game. a good mature rated game for anyone. they also need some more mario games. a good game would be( luigi VS mario)

[dack25]

One thing they need to do is make sure that there are a steady amount of games coming out often so we won't have droughts like we have right now.

[nemo_83]

yes, it sucks to want to buy a new game right now for any Nintendo console.  i hope this means they are putting tons of support behind REV's launch.

[TheYoungerPlumber]

Come on guys, are you that dense as to say a new Resident Evil could/should be on the Rev at launch.  Capcom's big wigs and investors just PRYED the GC-exclusiveness out of an angry director's hands, going against everything they had said for years.  I hardly think we'll see RE5 on the Revolution unless it is on all three systems. And since that means the optimized GC code cannot be used--they have to work off of the predictably shoddy multiplatform port of the engine (which they're working on now), I doubt we'll see a new resident evil game anytime soon.

"Mario, Pilotwings, F-Zero, and a regular Sim City for launch would make my day. A Pikmin with more expansive environments would be good too; call it Pikmin 3000.

For everyone else there should be a Madden, an exclusive Time Splitters 4, Baiten Kaitos 2 or Golden Sun, and an exclusive new franchise/concept game to round it out.

By Christmas there should be Mario Kart, Raven Blade, Wave Race, Rogue Squadron 4, co-op Viewtiful Joe, and Resident Evil. And some kind of bundle."

I think it still stands pretty well now, but..
--I'm not expecting anything exclusive in the future
--A Mario Kart soon afterwards seems even more likely now, with the arcade game and all. Probably Smash Bros too, but that's pushing it.
--There weren't as many revival games making a comeback as I thought there would be, maybe it'll be different on the Rev
--Being backwards compatible may make more bongo-centric sequels likely as filler; actually I just remembered, it doesn't look like DK:JB did so well..
--Miyamoto said Mario would be more mature in SMS and would have big levels where you can look over a high point to see what's going on, yet the game clearly shied away from anything of the sort. I'd like the next one to be more expansive. i.e. have more than a few measly levels, return to platforming.
--DON'T blow small game details out of proportion.
--DO release more game info/screens/etc leading up to its release.

That is all.

[Caillan]

All I really want is two solid first and/or second party games close to launch, one of which is an original franchise. By a month or two aftwerwards I'd hope there'd be at least one decent third party game(as well as all the Madden crap etc.) and maybe another second party one. I don't think that's too much to expect and it's a realistic goal for Nintendo to strive for.

[PowerHair]

I reckon...

-A game with plenty of guns, sex and swearing

-An FPS with unbelievable graphics

Actually what about an entirely adult launch lineup to shatter some images?

[Spak-Spang]

PowerHair.  It would only take one game to shatter the image.  

Actually the timeframe is perfect for Nintendo launch with 3 games:

Mario (which really is a must, and if it is genre defining once again like Mario 64 was then it will be a system seller.)
Super Smash Brother Melee (The ultimate game to launch to please all of Nintendo's loyal Base.)
Metroid Prime or some shooter from Retro (I think Retro has proven themselves with Nintendo, and will either be able to create there own game soon or be given much more freedom over the Metroid franchise...a true FPS with a FPA feel would be great.  Also, we need somethign special for multiplayer.)

I also wouldn't be surprised to see Mario Kart Arcade with enhanced graphics right around launch.

Mario 128
Super Smash Bros game, must be online
Zelda or Metroid Prime.
