Shigeru Miyamoto asks Kotaku what games they want
Sorry I didn't post this sooner (some of you might have pitched in your own thoughts), but a while back, Shigeru Miyamoto (creator of Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, etc.) was interviewed by gaming journalism website Kotaku (which... you know what I won't even talk about it), and posed a question towards the readers of Kotaku: what kind of games do you want to see for the Wii U?
http://kotaku.com/shigeru-miyamoto-h...you-1593754129 After collecting a variety of opinions, Kotaku finally gave Miyamoto an answer: http://kotaku.com/shigeru-miyamoto-w...ion-1597993025 Here were the top 5 requests from the readers were: 1.) Metroid (2D or 3D, with many calling for Metroid Prime 4) 2.) A new Pok?mon Snap 3.) A new F-Zero. 4.) A new 3D Mario game (Galaxy 3 or Sunshine 2). 5.) An original Dungeons-and-Dragons-style game with the GamePad player serving the role as dungeon master. I believe Nintendo has already announced that there is both 2D AND 3D Metroid games in the works, and that they "hope to show them off soon". That's Nintendo for you, they want to make sure people see the quality of their games before announcing them, unlike so many other companies who think they can bank of of pre-announcing stuff and driving up hype on names alone, not to mention Nintendo's trailers actually show off gameplay as opposed to extended cutscenes or pre-rendered crap. Speaking of which, don't do another Metroid: Other M, Nintendo, please? Funnily enough, Pok?mon Snap for the Wii U is an idea I've seen thrown around quite a lot, and it really does make sense, giving what features the Wii U has and what it's capable of. The original Pok?mon Snap was super fun and I'd be more then glad to play another! F-Zero... Shigeru Miyamoto once said a while back that he doesn't understand why fans want another F-Zero (might be paraphrasing that part) and asks what could possibly added to it to make it interesting. I find this massively hypocritical, given how many samey Mario games and spin-offs get released, but even then, there's nothing wrong with just releasing an HD F-Zero game with online play, ESPECIALLY since it's been so long since the last F-Zero game and it could get people into the series. Besides, since Captain Falcon keeps appearing in Super Smash Bros., and since there was an F-Zero-themed attraction in NintendoLand, they clearly know it exists, so... why not? I really liked the first Super Mario Galaxy (the second one I'm rather angrily "meh" about), and I also liked Super Mario Sunshine, while Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World were good fun, it's like Nintendo intentionally tried to make them look and feel generic. One of my main problems with them was that they had decent/good level design and fun use of power-ups, the theme-ing of those games was incredibly lazy; levels had almost zero connection with their respective "worlds", so the world maps feel utterly pointless. The boss fights also feel kind of "eh", though that's mostly with Super Mario 3D Land. A new collection-based 3D Mario game would feel a bit more refreshing, and it honestly wouldn't hurt to actually have a storyy here as well. I might be a minority on this, but I genuinely enjoyed the stories of Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy (in fact, that's part of what bugged me about Super Mario Galaxy 2 a bit). I'd really like to see them change it up a bit, ironically by redoing something that Nintendo already did almost a decade back, but then again, I think it's better then throwing in a new power-up or two then calling it a day (aka, the New Super Mario Bros. way of doing things; yes, I know there are new levels, but... gosh, it's so hard to explain how dull they feel). The Dungeons & Dragons idea I believe comes from a Penny Arcade comic, and... yeah, that sounds like fun, why not? Other suggestions include:
Spoiler!
Of course, there were also a lot of people asking, if not demanding, that Nintendo by Capcom and revive Mega Man Legends 3 as well as suggest new Capcom games like Gotcha Force, Power Stone, and whatnot), apparently not realizing that Shigeru Miyamoto only has so much power and influence in Nintendo. I mean, yeah, I'd like those things to happen, too, but it's not like he's Satoru Iwata or anything. Not to mention, some people people suggested new games that don't belong to Nintendo or even Capcom, like Shenmue (SEGA), Trauma Center (Atlus... which I guess is also SEGA now), Mischief Makers (Treasure, though apparently Nintendo helped publish it), or Fatal Frame (Tecmo andGrasshopper Manufacture). Kind of makes me wish people were more informed, but whatever. So wow, these are a lot of suggestions. I sincerely hope Shigeru Miyamoto and/or Nintendo takes note of all of these, even if it's the top 5, because I'd really like to see some of these!

I bet if they didn't already announce a Star Fox for Wii U, it would've been up there.
Anyway, I don't think Miyamoto should be asking WHY the fans want another F-Zero, rather just go ahead and try making a new one.
