/v/ - HAPPY E3 EVERYONE

You'd have to be braindead to develop a pokemon racing game.

Quads btw

The real reason why pokemon doesn't have a focus on major spinoffs is that nintendo is terrified that a major spinoff will be so good that it will make people never want rehashed main series entries that cost peanuts to make.

For instance, imagine an open world type of game that features a large variety of pokemon living out in their natural habitat like all of those dinosaur open world clones. Even if a pokemon spinoff game was barebones when it comes to features, it would sell like crazy because people have wanted a game with that much interactions with pokemon. Pokemon Snap was a peek into that even though it's just the same animations over and over and is basically an on-rails theme park ride. And let's not forget that nintendo consoles are light on the hardware power.

Nice try fag

Nintendo is the only company that allows tons of cynical cash grab spinoffs. Most companies would be horrified at the prospect of damaging their IP, but that just doesn't happen with nintendo's cradle to grave fanbase.

>>14907773

One exists. It was on the DS

There was a time when Final Fantasy was more than mobile spinoffs with the occasional movie.

>>14907803

There was a time when people wanting to do X game but with Y, didn't buy the brand name and created their own IP.

>>14907793

Not really.

>Puzzle Spin-offs (Pokemon Puzzle League)

Pokemon Trozei!/Link!, it's sequel Battle Trozei and Pokemon Shuffle would be better examples. PPL/PPC is just (a cancelled) Panel de Pon with a Pokemon anime/Pokemon skin.

<No minigame collection/party games

The closest there is would be the PokePark series has you befriending Pokemon by playing minigames with them but is still single player only. While the sequel does allow for multiplayer with it's minigames.

… fuck that actually sounds amazing.

Though there should only be like 15 to 20 racers and an equal amount of riders.

She broke her arm jerking off the horse.

>>Simple action games (Mystery Dungeon series

Mystery dungeon games are practically roguelikes. If anything theyre dungeon crawling rpgs.

>tfw no Platinum game about Machamp kicking ass faster than the speed of light while punching four niggers around at once

>>14907764

>No minigame collection/party games

Stadium exists.

>>14907764

>minigames/party games

Pokemon Stadium had a minigame section for up to 4 players.

Sounds a bit like the cancelled Donkey Kong Racing with the small Pokemon riding bigger Pokemon.

While the idea sounds good, I keep thinking no one at Nintendo wants more (or actual good) competition against Mario Kart.

You're probably right, but it seems goofy as hell that they have that kind of mentality. They're ok with releasing 4 fucking Mario Party games in a single generation competing with Wario Ware games, but for whatever reason they're under the impression that there's only room in the market for one racing game per generation. It's not like Mario Kart's sales are hurting.

That was one lucky Ponyta then.

The Mario Party thing is even weird when you consider their is also Wii Party and even Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. Then it turns out the dev team of both those games and every MP since MP9 is Nd Cube, one developer working on a single genre since 2010.

With Mario Kart, yeah Nintendo has had other racing titles like on the Wii for example there is ExciteTruck (launch title), the strangely NA exclusive sequel ExciteBots, WiiWare exclusive Excitebike, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast (originally GCN and used the DK Bongo Controller before delays), all these were made by other devs. It's still annoying that Nintendo themselves doesn't seem to want to work on anything but Mario Kart, no Wave Race, no 1080 Snowboarding, no F-Zero.

If Punch Out could come back on the Wii with the reason for a new game existing being "using (optional) motion controls to punch" why can't F-Zero with come back with "online multiplayer and user made track sharing" to justify a new game?

>>14907773

Why? Worked for mario.

>PMD

>simple action

Nigger those are dungeon crawlers with a heavy amount of story, so I guess they're also JRPGs

>>14907773

I'd play one.

why are retards like you convinced anyone buying this are blind fanboys?

Zelda has gone fairly unexploited over the years.

You have Four Swords, which is more a variant of traditional Zelda gameplay than a full blown spinoff, Hyrule Warriors which is more a Dynasty Warriors spinoff, Crossbow Training and the Tingle games, which are all pretty low key affairs.

No Princess Zelda game. No Zelda fighting game, RPG, strategy game, horse racing, pinball.
