A family friendly FPS E rated game has not been made by anyone (as far as I know), so if Nintendo were to make that it would be something new and original and since nothing else like it exists they would have the only thing like it in the whole world. Plus it would have the Mario universe characters, so that alone would be a major plus compared to anything any 3rd party could ever do.
Ugh. What a waste. Nintendo has a million family friendly franchises already. There is no need for another one. Once in a while Nintendo makes something with a little more edge to it like Fire Emblem, Metroid and non-toon Zelda and the results are awesome. Let the kids play their Mario and Kirby (which I also will play) and let's have something for more adult tastes. I don't care if no one is making a kid's FPS. Nintendo isn't making any FPS games at all.
insanolord doesn't want Nintendo working on the same thing third parties will work on. Third parties don't do **** on Nintendo systems. If a Wii owner wants some good FPS action, Nintendo has to provide it.
I want Retro on a new IP but I want new IP from ALL Nintendo teams. Nintendo is in a total rutt creatively. It's just the same franchises again and again and again. They introduced the Wii Series and have run that into the ground pretty damn fast too. Stupid Wuhu Island shows up everywhere and I want nothing to do with that ****. It comes across less like a cherished Nintendo franchise and more like a lazy excuse to cut corners. Nintendo gives off the vibe that coming up with something new is too much work.
Retro is very creative. They have to be to have made Metroid Prime. DKC Returns almost felt like a waste. The Wii has tons of side-scrollers. Why did Retro have to make another one? And their work on Mario Kart 7? That's nothing. That's just treating them like some generic dev used for temp work. It reminds me of Nintendo wasting Silicon Knights by having them port MGS, something ANY dev could have done. If any dev can do it, then there is no point in Retro doing it. There is no point in having talented devs to have them make the same bullshit that EAD themselves would have made.
If Retro doesn't work on Star Fox, someone else will. If I can have someone else work on it, then it seems like a waste. Retro is very talented and Nintendo should use that to their advantage to branch out beyond the same old thing.
Though if they are to just work on the same old bullshit, I suggest Metroid Prime just to get Sakamoto away from the series. Metroid is at a crossroads now and Retro is the only dev I trust to not completely destroy it. Star Fox needs saving but Metroid needs it too. One more Other M and the series could be toast.
