What type of series do you think Nintendo should try to make next? This thread doesn't include sub-series of other franchises.
I personally don't know what they could try next, but I hope for something involving growing.
I would like an MMO game with characters from every Nintendo franchise. It would have even the most minor of enemies and characters. The setting would be a large universe with stages from numerous games.

Cubivore kinda involves growing
economic simulator like Roller Coaster Tycoon or SimCity.
Also: Post #1000!
Whatever they do will involve the controls for the Wii and DS. By series, do you mean even a current stand alone title recieving a sequel? I'm pretty sure FlingSmash is here to stay. Also Starfy seems to only have 1 English release, but I'm expecting these two characters to get new releases by the end of the wii and 3DS.
i think he means what area or type of gaming should they venture into with a or for a new series.
They should make another action/adventure series. I like those. Yay.

yeah, they fun. But in order to make more of them, they are going to have to innovate like a madperson.

What is FlingSmash, anyway? Never heard of it.
Seems like MMO is the only real area in which Nintendo hasn't ventured, but if things continue with the Yamagushi school of thought that Online is not what consumers want, then fat chance.
Oh, I think they need a good sandbox game, ala Minecraft, just not Minecraft.
If Nintendo doesn't want to do an MMO of their own, maybe then, will they look the other way for a fan-run one?
Nintendo funding fan projects? Fat chance, from any developer in fact. It's discouraging that each and every fan effort is meat with a C&D letter from the companies. A shame, really, I have seen so many good things around the net, specially lately.

i didn't say fund it, i said "look the other way". As in, don't acknowdlge it's there, don't interfere with it being run, etc.

That can't be possible either. Nintendo is a business and they can't afford competence specially both free and that uses their own ideas (characters, music, sprites, etc...) against themselves.
See it this way, McDonald's competitor is not only Burger King, it's whoever sells food. In that way, Nintendo's copetitor is every other activity that takes the time that people use to play their games (legally anyway).
So no "looking the other way" is going to happen, it's even more plausible that they might warm heart to a proyect than letting them run wild.

ow, man... that's disappointing. Still, a nintendo MMO would be awesome and the end to my social life. ;D
I've got one thing Nintendo shouldn't make: a first person shooter.

But you shoot things while seeing through the character's eyes...

Metroid Prime is a First-Person Shooter, but in definition, not necessarily in player-expectations. Most FPS's are much more violent than Nintendo would be interested in persueing.
It probably won't happen, but I'd like to see what Nintendo would do with a military strategy-type game. Something along the lines of Civilization or Age of Empires, but in a Nintendo-ish style.
^Advance Wars? Never played any, so I don't know for sure, but from what I've heard, those games are strategy/war games.

Violence is hardly what sets Prime apart from FPSs. (What kind of definition of 'violent' is this, anyway? Metroid is half about killing stuff.)

You never know. Back when Rare was a second-party developer for Nintendo, they created one of the most critically-acclaimed first-person shooters of all time - Golden Eye 007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoldenEye_007).

I'm fairly sure he meant to say "graphic". And, if he did, he's right. Prime doesn't have nearly as much blood/gore as other FPSs. And yes, half of it is about killing things. But it's the other half that make the difference. Most "real" FPSs revolve almost entirely around shooting random people in the head, and don't even have the puzzle elements Prime.

Um.. yes, they have turn-based strategy, but no Real Time Strategy games.

But it's not a defining characteristic of FPSs. What about World of Padman/loads of Quake-like FPSs (Warsow, Nexuiz)? They're undoubtedly FPSs, but no graphic violence. GoldenEye didn't have blood, even (IIRC, though Perfect Dark did; maybe that's what made it an 18 and GE a 15).

Yeah, that's what I was saying. I think the lack of focus on shooting accuracy also plays a large part: even combat is largely strategy-based (beam choice and stuff) over reactions and aiming (and so Corruption came closer, if not by much, to being an FPS).
Yeah, but gameplay-wise GoldenEye is the typical FPS.
I would like a crossover game where you can choose to play as a good guy or a bad guy. All Nintendo characters are in it. Unlike SSB, it has gameplay similar to the Mario games I guess, where you have different worlds etc.
I would like a crossover game, as well. But with me, i would like to see a rotation in the genre: RPG, racing, FPS, etc.
Play as the bad guy.... Sounds amazing

play the villain as the protagonist, similar to how we follow Kira in Death Note.
Well, but in the Wario games he is the "good" character. I meant playing as Ganondorf, or who knows what villain. I was going to say Bowser, but BIS already lets you play as him, but it is not exactly what I mean
