I think the "wow feature" Jeremy was speaking of was the level editor. It would be really cool if you can download them to your GBA to take on the go.

That never occured to me until just now... You're probably right, but... well I hope your not, because I really want DK Plus and have no intrest in the GBA player,

I don't think it will be a pack in. I think they just want something big at the release of the GBA player.

Gotch. Sounds good by me. DK94 rocked. Puzzle Platformers have got to be the most neglected and underappreciated genre in gaming.

Yup, the level editor, that was the feature. It's perfect for a DK game.

Ah, this is gonna be the SMS Penguin LAnd all over again (you know if you've played it).

heh, have atlus R&D1 make earthbound, because they've got the best handle on supernatural RPGs that take place in the modern day. =P

yes, i'm kidding.

Here's my idea of what treasure should do:
Treasure should handle a unique 2d GBA starfox game. :D

They could basically make a defender-like sidescrolling environment and add all kinds of enemies which are tiny and attack you at once like in Bangaio where there are hundreds of little sprites moving around at once..

You would be able to choose a tank, ship, or sub to negotiate through each level but you would have full control of where you go in the level and would be allowed to get out of the vehicles as a person and go into buildings and stuff. (there would be puzzle-like mission objectives along the way as you shoot and blast your way through each location and many different ways to get through each level - Not mere branches like your average arcade game but more like totally hidden areas that lead to new locations like metroid.)

The pace of the game would be frantic (like you are in the middle of a battlefield) and along the lines of a metal slug speed in actions. Like bangai-o there would be lots of destructible environments (buildings, troops, mechs, trees, enemies) that allowed you extra points but you would still be focused on the main objective/s. Some of the missions might involve rescuing people (choplifter) others involve killing a boss, some mission might involve having to collect fuel to stay alive (otherwise you won't be able to keep moving), and the more direct mission stuff might be to clear an area of enemies or collect powerups and vehicle upgrades.

Basically I'm thinking of a combination of bangaio, (the frantic shooting and missles and destructable environments) defender, (size of ship/s in proportion to screen and the type of weapon) choplifter (the missions) and body harvest (that's that old dma design game on n64 with all the different vehicles you could drive.)

Alright nintendo/treasure, now go and make my game now.
Forget ancient gradius sequels and focus on this. :D

My other idea is to get capcom to make a light gun game with the star fox franchise. They could release this in arcades using the cube hardware and it would be pretty standard shooting. Nothing fancy.
But the game would be set in the starfox universe and in planets from the previous games. You could be set in different situations in some levels (standard cowboy-like shootout with enemies hiding behind scenary, bossfighting and vehicle-destroying levels, hotd-like protecting of innocents, shooting while in a chase with an enemy in vehicles etc). This could be celshaded to make the game cartoony enough for little kids to play and the violence wouldn't be limiting it or causing controversy with the media who love to pick on on games in this genre.) Bascially the home version would have extra modes and it would be nintendo's own answer to the all ages light gun games like point blank and all.

Well since I've already been waiting an eternity for a new Star Tropics game we might as well give that one to Working Designs :lol:

Damn, GameHED, why not just make the game yourself?

In recent interviews Miyamoto has expressed an increasing desire to free up more development time to devote to new franchises, leaving Nintendo to loan some of its best series to companies like Treasure, Amusement Vision, and Namco. I have to say, so far Treasure seems like the perfect choice to work with R&D1, and Amusement Vision looks to be taking F-Zero to levels I'm not even sure Nintendo could.

So my question to you is... If Nintendo were to cut back on one of your favorite franchises... who would you like to see take it over?

I know many of you would prefer Nintendo to stick to their own franchises... And you're probably right (I thre a hissy fit over the Capcom Zeldas). But that's no fun to talk about. So assume that nintendo simply has to abandon a franchise in order to make some incredible secret project for the sake of this dicussion.

I think Tiwak could make a Donkey Kong Country game about 10 times better than rare ever could. They know the genre well, and they have a flare for artistic style. I have no doubt they could turn out a new classic with the liscense.

If I had to give Zelda to anyone... while Flagship might be the obvious choice, I think I'd entrust it to Westone. I'm sure they could really take it some place new and exciting.

And after playing Moto Racer Advance, I'd like to see what Adeline could do with Excitebike.

Knami could probably spin a good metroid if they wanted too. Castlevania's not a far cry.

You're going to think I'm nuts, but I'd wager NanaOnSha could turn out a mean Earthbound game as well.

Nintendo has cut back on my favorite franchise: Yoshi. I haven't had a decent yoshi game for a console in years. I'm sure the GBA has got to have had a port or something. Man, I need to get me one of those.

Yoshi is my all time favorite mascot and videogame character altogether.

Anything to do with Donkey Kong. I actually like the DKC games but they don't look like DK should. I think DK should be in the visual style of the early '80's one and the Game Boy one. Is there any new info on that GBA sequel?

I'm totally the opposite. I like the new DK look.
