The experiment itself was a tiny bit cruel since I had no intentions of purchasing anywhere near ten video games for her, but now I know what she wants for the holiday season and special occasions.
You might wonder what a 7 year old girl thinks is great about the Nintendo Wii. You can read an interview with my daughter to find out. But for the purposes of this article, we are focusing on just the games."
Nintendo considers its real-time strategy series, Pikmin, a flagship IP, based on the latest details from its recent shareholder meeting.
I like the concept of this game but it really gets boring in the long run. Nintendos flagship could be F-Zero, they really need to bring it back
I’d prefer a StarFox spin off like the GameCube Adventure games. I found them to be fun despite being different to the main core games.
@-Foxtrot
I'd love a new Star Fox game done in a similar format to Starlink, but with a better story and better enemy variety.
Every subsequent F-Zero sold worse than the prior.
If it's a flagship title, I think the flag will sink with the ship.
I love Pkimin 4, but wish they'd lean more into the rts aspects of the game. Would be interesting if you were using pikmin to gather resources and building stuff. Wouldn't mind if it strayed a iittle bit away from the cozy game territory. Atleast in spin-off.
The "next gen console update" part of this is so clickbaity. The Nintendo president offered an update that they have nothing to update us on.
I'm all in for a new Nintendo generation if they can give us
New smash
New Mario party
New Metroid
New Zelda both in 3d and 2d
New starfox
New IP
New and better pokemon game that really advances the IP
So you want all new Nintendo games from every franchise lol
Not making fun but it's like every major franchise, minus Mario for some reason?
I live in Japan and Pikmin 4 did surprisingly well. Tons of collaborations and marketing. Even now they play ads on the trains.
One of my favorite franchises ♥️
Pikmin 1 + 2 version 1.1.0 update released, and Nintendo has shared the official patch notes.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "For better or for worse, this is now the easiest and most practical way to play Pikmin, and figure out why has this franchise managed to stand the test of time for so long. I particularly didn’t understand the hype. To me, Pikmin is average at best. It’s a game that has aged poorly, especially when it comes to these dated controls. The fact this wasn’t even a remaster, but a bare bones upscaled port of a game from 2001, certainly didn’t help. It did nothing to fix its many issues, nor did it receive improvements in its visuals, audio, or performance. It can be fun for a while, and having yet another (costly) way to have it preserved for the future is nice, but I certainly am not enamored with the franchise after playing it. I’d rather just stick to Tinykin."
I love stories like this. They are so different from the same-old-same-old stuff you read all the time. A unique perspective on what works and what doesn't is refreshing.
Interesting. She seems to have more taste than most 7 year old girls who just want Petz and Hannah Montana. Rock on.
The last line of your article always cracks me up. Your daughter sounds way adorable. ;)
Great article. Good perspective from a point of view most people ignore.
