Does Nintendo really have a franchise that is used to make beat-em-ups besides Kid Icarus? Besides Smash Brothers which doesn't really qualify as a beat-em-up.

I'd say that Platinum should be perfectly content right now working on Starfox, seeing as Hideki Kamiya absolutely adores the franchise and sneaks Starfox-like minigames into every game he directs.

Is Kamiya working on Star Fox? That's... making me pretty excited I'm not gonna lie.

Better yet, let's leave Ice Climbers in the NES graveyard where its belongs.

I agree, although more...tactfully. The original game wasn't very fun even for its time, at least in my opinion, but the general idea of just climbing a bunch of frozen mountains doesn't sound like a good basis for making a whole modern-day video game.

Unless they make it gritty and really edgy and they have to deal with things like frostbite or oxygen poisoning-induced insanity. In which case I'd be down for that because that would be awesome and enthralling if done right or hilarious if done completely wrong.

Awesome!

Miyamoto said they were looking for an external partner to do the gruntwork on Starfox but they've never given any indication that Platinum's doing it.

He doesn't wanna work on it anymore though, I think, since people kept bombarding him on twitter about it.

Captain Toad is exactly what a good Ice Climbers game could be like, but since it already exists as Captain Toad, that's no go.

Both the Street Fighter and Tekken producers really love Balloon fight, one of them should bring it back.

Tekken Balloon Fight mode. (or Tekken Balloon Trip mode) everything is the same except the Balloon Fight character is replaced by Heihachi.

Platinum games tend to be short with an emphasis on improving your skills and then playing it again because it's too much fun.

Metroid Dread, the long lost project of that Metroid game about exploring the robotic world commanded by an AI with multiple personality disorder

The design doc for Dread honestly sounded like an over-ambitious mess

Also yeah Platinum's signature bombastic style wouldn't really fit Metroid at all

A Metroid by Platinum wouldn't end up like Vanquish cause Samus would need to be out of the powersuit for all the rear end-shots

Each of the five Chapters (made up of small missions, which are basically just save checkpoints) does something to change up gameplay from the last to keep it interesting (Chapter 3 is escorting a convoy through a pitch-black tunnel, Chapter 4 takes you through Zero-G sections of the station with magboots to keep you grounded while dead enemies drift away). Each difficulty setting also seriously ups the ante on what turns up and when. There's an encounter early on in an open arena that is a single squad of basic soldier robots on Normal. On God Hard it's a fullblown army of several dozen robots, with a bunch of types you don't encounter until much later in the game, and a couple of dropships land to deliver more reinforcements. And that's just the start of the game on God Hard :unsmigghh:.

Platinum could make a fun Hyrule Warriors-esque spin-off, but they don't seem like a good fit for the main Metroid series.

Cause it was poo poo.

And Sega hosed up the launch.

Also the whole ranked/player lists for a niche game probably didn't help for the community at all.

Who gives a poo poo about the "themes" and "aesthetic" of Metroid. You don't give Platinum access to an ip so they can make the same exact game everyone else would make. You give Platinum access to an ip so they can make a Platinum game about those characters. When people say "let Platinum make the next Metroid" they don't mean, "let Platnium make a game about Samus being lonely in some dank corridor", they mean "let Platinum make a game about Samus icing motherfuckers while piledriving spaceships into ridley's grandmama"

Yeah and why not let Platinum handle StarFox and Mario and Zelda too! And Pikmin and FZero! Every game can be Bayonetta!

Seriously, if you say "who gives a poo poo about aesthetics" then who gives a poo poo about Samus or Ridley? Why does it need Metroid characters at all? What's the point except that you like Platinum.
