"Nintendo is sitting on a whole heap of famous IP that hasn’t gotten much attention lately. Unfortunately, that’s how business works. Even though we’ll probably never see sequels to games such as Golden Sun or The Wonderful 101, It’s ok to dream every now and then. Here are five Nintendo games that I believe deserve sequels." -- Nintendo Enthusiast
"Following the remakes of the first two Metroid titles, 2004’s Zero Mission and 2017’s Samus Returns, Super Metroid seems like it would be a perfect choice for the third remake, should Nintendo have an interest in pursuing another one after Metroid Dread. After all, it’s the next 2D entry in line for a makeover, and it’s arguably the most iconic and beloved installment in the entire franchise. However, 2002’s Metroid Fusion has some strikingly unusual structure and ideas that Dread subsequently altered and expanded upon, and applying that evolution of design back to Fusion could make for a perfect remake opportunity." - Nintendo Enthusiast
Why a remake? It laid out the foundation for a sequel! Come on you Metroid fans have been getting nothing until now and you rather a remake instead of continuing with an improved sequel? Smh
Well, Dread took apparently about 4 years, so a sequel right away would probably take 3 or so.
For a Fusion remake they could just take the engine they have now and pump it out in 1-2 years with a smaller team, since they dont actually have to design the game per se.
While some of the others start production on a sequel (or a completely different game), its not like the whole studio starts working on any given new project right away anyway
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "Metroid, as a series, had kicked off with a bang, albeit one held back by some questionable design choices. Future generations would come to view Metroid 1 and 2 as important games, but heavily dated. Excellent ideas and innovative concepts, ultimately held back by flaws in a few key areas. They just needed one last push to move into the realm of all time classics.
In 1994 they would get that push, with Super Metroid."
Alex DS from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The Wii U is a great place to build up a collection of classic video games. And with Nintendo beginning to phase out the online services for this system we figured it was as good a time as any to go over the games that are must-haves from the Wii U Virtual Console!"
I'm sad to see no StarTropics. That is one game that needs a sequel.
Pokémon Snap all the way
For me : F-zero, mario football, starfox (huge potential), Battalion Wars.
