Other M was absolutely vile. It would take real effort to make a game worse than it, but I sure wouldn't pick MercurySteam for the task when they're already struggling to wrap their heads around the concept of adapting Castlevania for a contemporary audience. I'd expect something as jarringly dissonant and creatively derivative if that came to pass.
I don't agree. Other M is together with Okami and Twlight Princess one of my favourite Wii games.
Mercurysteam's Castlevania should be a lesson learned on how not to remake a franchise. I don't want them to touch Contra and I certainly don't want them anywhere near Metroid.
That is the word.
Balloon Fight?
They could put in a back story on why the heck those creatures want to fly and pop the balloons of the others.
And it will be dark and realistic, and every time you beat a level, the narrator will repeat a variation of "Now the nightmare is over, the balloons were succesfully popped... but our hero knows there is a long road ahead of him... his strength is slowly abandoning him, and he doesn't know anymore if he is dreaming or he is awake; reality becomes confusing and the nightmarish landscapes surrounding him reinforce the illusion of being in hell... but he knows he must go on, for the sake of mankind... for the memory of his loved one... and for the truth to prevail. Go on, my friend! The gods are with you, and in time you will learn the story of our sacred order of balloon poppers!"
Something like Bomberman Zero, for example.
That's something MS could do, for sure.
What's a nintendo franchise that MS could do?
Hmmm.
Nothing at the moment
Not F-zero that's for sure.
Maybe Ice Climber?
Or how about startropics?
They can always make a new F-Zero game where you have to escape the police and run against another opponents in the streets of an american city.
That will surely sell, they only need to make it look like Need For Speed and insert the F-Zero title and some classic character names here and there.
