Topic: Discuss THESE!!

"That would be a brilliant move for Nintendo...but would Game Freak want to give its baby and pride and joy away to another company?"

HAL, Genius Sonority, Chunsoft and more say "Sure, why not?"

If anyone wants a Megaton, a Squenix Pokemon RPG is about as big as you can get...It'd be huge pretty much anywhere...

[Spak-Spang]

Bill:  I forgot several games have already been made under different developers.

I agree Bill it would be very much Megaton, and I would be excited to see what would come of it.  

Hell, I love the idea many have of a Nintendo/SquareEnix Kingdom Hearts type game.  Just please drop the Disney aspects out...it just doesn't feel right to have such clashing characters and worlds melding together.

Pokémon snap 2 for the Rev would be great. Yu could use the controller as a camera with zoom and other such features.
But yeah, Squenix Pokémon RPG = great idea. KH style Nintendo-based Squenix RPG starring Captain N (it's only logical) = greater idea.

I seem to be filling the board this morning.  The only way I would like another company actually handle an honest to god RPG Pokemon for console if I was Game Freaks would be to do a joint project.  I could see Square and Game Freaks doing a joint project between the two of them to make such a thing, or better yet Camelot (I think there style would be a better fit when tempered by Game Freak).

Now a Nintendo Characters/Famous characters that have shown up on Nintendo Systems would be cool but I don't want it to follow the KH model exactly.  I mean compared to the first KH:2 is weak and KH: Chain of Memory I can't play through, Spak-Spang knows why.  Story wise there all good.  KH2 just had to much lack of polish on the actual gameplay compared to the first.  It felt more like a movie that contained summaries of other movies and some interaction.  Plus this time they did the full revisit everything to make it longer and an hour or two worth of introduction.   That being said.

I want Super Mario RPG 2.  I liked Super Mario RPG.  I like how it introduced characters that weren't just stock Mario characters for interaction.  It was good.  Now I haven't played through the "Sequals" but I would like Super Mario RPG 2.

Both the Mario and Luigi games (for GBA and DS respectfully) were great spirtual successors, but a hardline pt.2 would be quite rousing....

Bill, as for the Pokemon Squeenix RPG idea, in the immortal words of the inventors of Guiness Stout.....

"BRILLIANT!"  

[Louieturkey]

A Snap 2 would be neat if they implement it right.  Free roaming and exploring would be ideal.  An upgrade-type system where the better the pics you take, the more money you get for them and the more money you get, the better equipment you can buy to take better pics of pokemon so you get more money...and so on.  I would buy that...or at least play it a lot if someone bought it for me.

"1) Squenix Pokemon RPG"

Well the last time Square got to use a Nintendo franchise they made Super Mario RPG which is easily one of my top three favourite games ever.  So I say "YEAH!"  Besides no matter what it's GOT to be better then those horrible Pokemon RPGs on the Cube.  With Pokemon on consoles they might as well give anyone with some talent a shot because it's broken anyway.

Regarding Pokemon Snap I think they should just make a 3D Pokemon RPG and make photography something you can do in it.  Majora's Mask has photography in it.  You don't need to make a specific camera game in order to use the concept.

"2) Bundle game for Rev"

Nintendo: We at Nintendo are proud to annouce the free bundle game for the Rev... BRAIN AGE.

Ian: Oh, uh, that's nice I guess.  

[Kairon]

Screw a bundled game. Just have the Rev's start-up screen be Mario's Face from SM64.

Oh...and uh... the first SMB/Duck Hunt preloaded...
