If given the chance to tell Nintendo what they should do with their next system, what would it be?

For me:

- Call it simply "Nintendo"
- Go back to cartridges, they aren't afraid to play on Nostalgia, go full tilt and go back to carts. Flash memory is fast, high capacity, and super cheap these days. Titles still will be offered digitally of course.
- Less gimmicks. Don't base the entire system around a bizarre control mechanism. Try new things (like sony did with the DS4) but focus your system on games and playing games with a standard controller. You are the fathers of the modern controller and its design has stood the test of time, it is still in use because it works.
- Make your system palatable to third parties
- Have a Unified Online system, Hell make a deal with MS to use Xbox Live if you have to.
- Finally, keep up with technology. While I am in agreement that we are hitting a point of diminishing returns when it comes to rendering power, (I.e. my GTX 780 has multitudes more power than a PS4 or X1, but I don't have games that look 3x better), AND games like DK, Mario 3D World, and MK8 show you dont need endless power to make beautiful games, I would like to go back to the NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube Days when you had processing power on par with the competition.

Other than that, in my week so far with the Wii U, I love it. Its a great system and it reminds me how fond of Nintendo I still am.
 
I dunno but this is what I think they should do with the Wii U.

: NOT kill the Wii U instead re-brand/re-launch it.

: Drop Wii U to $199(if the touch screen controller has to go then it needs a quality pack in game)

: Bring the heavy hitters as even though the lineup is good and will get even better when Zelda releases....They need Metroid,Starfox and a real 3d Mario.


The competition is FIERCE and here to stay I think the above mentioned things will not only keep the Wii U alive but give it a huge shot at being a contender.
 
I would be ok with them killing the gamepad and renaming the system. Most of the time I find the gamepad distracting. Especially considering almost no games use it in any meaningful way.
 
I'm a huge fan and believer in the Wii U gamepad. So I would hope they simply keep cutting the price while keeping the package intact.

I think Nintendo missed an opportunity with Mario Kart though as far as the pad is concerned. How is the pad not used as a separate screen in multiplayer? I mean split screen even on the pad? Dumb.

But I agree with Valliance. Price slash + games. Look how MK gave the system a major boost. And that was one game.

Keep pumping out games for Wii U. It would show me that they are still passionate about what they do, despite not being as successful as they were last generation.

More specifically:

GameCube VC. It's time.
Star Fox Wii U
Metroid Prime 4
HD remakes for GC games

The thread isn't intended as a suggestion that they kill the Wii U. However, the Wii U is what it is. It's going on two years old and they are going to ride it out.

What I'm asking is what would you like to see from their next effort
 
I love my Wii U and I'm looking forward to another few years with it. When it comes to the U, I'd Like to see them pump out their big franchises. Metroid and Star Fox specifically.

I'd like to see a steadier stream of VC releases too.
 
With 2015 becoming the new 2014 with releases for Sony and Microsoft, this is really Nintendo's chance to do SOMETHING. Will they catch the PS4 with just a good showing? No, probably not. But they have a good chance to let the fans know that they're still serious players in this competition and more importantly, in console generations to follow.

Wow. I'm not so sure. 64 really changed everything.

For me it's 64>Galaxy>3D world.

Not disputing that, but Galaxy improved on 64 in every way IMO better level design, way better boss fights, music, graphics.

True.

What if Nintendo remixed 64 in HD ala between two world? I would die.

That would actually be a perfect game for Nintendo to release, wouldn't take as long since 3D World just came out last year the next 3D Mario is still years from release. They could have a Mario 64 HD done for next Christmas.

My gut tells me this Game Cube adaptor is not just for Smash. I think the next 3D Mario we see will be Mario Sunshine HD.

Wow way to add to the discussion.
The opinion of a troll who has never played the games were discussing is less than zero lol.
 
I havent played Super Mario 3D World yet, so I will have to reserve judgement.

I like Mario 64 more than Galaxy. Galaxy is amazing, but Mario 64.....I just love everything about it.

Honestly, I wish they would forgo their next console entirely, and make their games third party, available on Sony and MS's systems. I know they won't do that, but I wish they would. Although I would like to play some Nintendo games, I can't bring myself to buy an entire console just so I can do that. I wish I had the option to play them elsewhere.

If they stay in the console business, I hope they drop the attempts to innovate a new controller. I don't expect they will do that either, after Wii's success. But I'd like them to issue a normal system. I'd like it to be on par with the other major systems, not a step behind. I'd also like plenty of HD remakes of old Nintendo games.

I don't think I'll get any of this. *pout*
 
Unless they intend to compete with Microsoft and Sony directly in the future, then they just need to go third party. This whole niche thing they've been doing is growing tiresome, and the Wii U is a directionless console that isn't long for this world. The games announced for it at E3 will probably be it's swan song, and sometime in 2015 the Wii U will already start being phased out. Nintendo can't keep trying to live or die by 1st party alone. They have to get back in the good graces of 3rd parties, who frankly just don't give a rats ass about the Wii U.

Yeah Mario 64 is my fav as well IMO Nintendo never made a true sequel to it.
Super Mario 3D World is good but doesn't feel 3D and doesn't free roam the way Mario 64 did.

That would be amazing but sunshine is prob coming(according to rumors)
If Nintendo is staying with Wii U expect a real 3D Mario game sooner rather then later being SM3D was just a port of the 3DS game that took no time at all.

Yeah, I dont know if it is just nostalgia clouding my memory or what, but I feel like the world and each level in Mario 64 are part of the bigger whole. Galaxy, to me, felt like disjointed modular levels. They were amazing, sure. But I just didnt get the same feeling playing it.
 
I doubt there will be another new 3D Mario game for Wii U, they just gave us the classic 3D World last year, probably won't get one till the next system drops.
