F Zero GX mark II (Honestly I dont give a crap about mario karts and id rather be playing Mnm s racing than Gran Turismo why the hell isn t F Zero around? I mean high speed is the real deal can modern gamers really be this lame? )

I suppose Nintendo have no idea how to make it cheap AND not to alienate the most ardent F-Zero followers. Latest official word is that they asked if Criterion wouldn't develop one, but - needless to say - EA would rather have Criterion make EA games.
I've felt for years a new "Mode 7" racer worthy of high resolutions and big screens was needed, but Cannonball and Oh! Deer is all we got lately. Sadly, new F-Zero along those lines sounds like a recipe for "cult hit" - ask Nintendo how much they care about those who keep buying their games for big screens.
Or while we're at it, ask those who bought Wii U how seriously they hoped the console was gonna get a new F-Zero. Admitedly, Maximum Velocity got released on it (which I thought was pretty cool, actually - Maximum Velocity rocks on the GBA).

I think a new F-Zero should be handled by Platinum Games in terms of direction but should be put together and quality tested by Sumo Digital. The former has great experience with making tried and true formulas better, the latter basically ported Outrun 2 on their own.

To add to the list:

- A new 3D fighter that expands upon the zoning concepts present in Soul Calibur that doesn't carry the title. I'd love to see this be a collaboration between AM2, Namco, and maybe even Team Ninja.

- Platinum's take on the Devil's Third formula. I think given that Valhalla has done the heavy lifting of getting changing from third person melee to first person shooter to work in a way that is virtually seamless, they could take up the reigns from here and make something truly unique. These guys did make Vanquish, after all.

- A resurgance of 3D shooters such as Panzer Dragoon. This is one genre that I think died too early for anyone to really say what could have been. Arcade games would be preferable, but given the current business climate direct PC releases would be fine too.

- Perhaps not a new JSR, but a stylized extreme sports game is always welcome in my book.

I remember "on-rails shooter" being a slur within certain circles, like "FMV game" or something. The last decade saw After Burner Climax , S&P2 and SkyDrift - if those didn't score even modest commercial success, why would anyone still try to make money off this kind of games?

I'm just glad top-down car games keep being made and played - one vintage "genre" seemingly as alive as shmups. (If you heard of a games console without one, let me know.)

I want Cute Souls. Cel shaded.
Same gameplay, same challenge level.. just stuff like.. I dunno. Using big plastic axes to take down cutesy robots in a giant toy castle..
Not moe shit though

Yes indeed, it is a dumb idea.
