The racing franchise F-Zero and the interplanetary space battle franchise StarFox have not yet made the transition from Gamecube to Wii as the other main franchises (Metroid, LoZ, Mario, etc) have. Why do you think this is? If Nintendo came out with games of this series for the Wii, would you mow down the front door to get them? Could it be that they are dying down in popularity? Please discuss. Edited by BonslyGuy, Jul 30 2010, 09:52 AM.

The reason we haven't seen a Wii sequel is because Adventures, Assault and Command all got bad reception. No idea what the hell happened to F Zero, though. It's easily my favorite Nintendo franchise, and the fact it's been shelved is really upsetting.

Weasley Edition Posts: 406 Group: Waluigi Member #12,733 Joined: April 18, 2010 Gender Female	As BonBon said, the later installments of Starfox weren't as popular as Lylat Wars (perhaps because of the on-foot levels?) As for F-Zero, Nintendo probably wanted to stick with one or two main racing games, and F-Zero was probably scrapped in favor of Mario Kart/Diddy Kong racing. I'm glad new games are being made, though. The only interaction I had with F-Zero was SSBB's "Masterpiece" section, but I enjoyed all 30 seconds of it, and plan to buy the 3ds game as soon as I have the means to play it.

F-Zero GX got slightly better reviews but! by the looks of things they both play the same, soo you would love/like the old one also. ^__^ (I really dont wanna know, how much the new one gives you headaches o_O)

I think it would be awesome on the Wii, the Wiimote would work really well for controlling an Arwing, I think. I'm looking forward to the Lylat Wars remake on the 3DS. I love that game.

Roar of Mufasa Posts: 9,215 Group: Administration Member #1,391 Joined: February 11, 2006 Gender Male Coins 29	ACPlayer5 - I'm sure he meant void as in "the majority of games on Nintendo consoles are platformers and sports games", though it's easy to think the opposite; he didn't mean that Nintendo is void of platformers (as all of those games are indeed, platformers), but that they are in a platformer void - most of the games they put out are platformers. Though, to be fair, void isn't the term I would've used. Hole is a lot easier to understand. Not that I agree - Zelda, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Star Fox, F-Zero, and the recent Metroid titles were all non platformers. In fact, the only common platforming games Nintendo has are Donkey Kong, Kirby, and the main Mario series. Everything else is RPG/Racing/other. Edited by IceCatraz, Aug 6 2010, 03:08 PM.

But I would describe Zelda and Metroid as platformers, wouldn't you? Isn't a platformer where you explore this big world like in Galaxy? Edited by BonslyGuy, Aug 6 2010, 09:10 PM.

Koopa Posts: 84 Group: Koopa Member #11,638 Joined: January 25, 2009	Starfox is definitely regaining popularity, especially with the up and coming Lylat Wars remake. I also read somewhere about a rumor that Miyamoto wanted another Starfox, but another main person didn't really want to pick it up anymore, but someone else wanted to pick it up and make another one (I know, confusing). As for F-Zero, the only hope i see is that he was a character in Brawl. I hope the series doesn't die, but....

No. dont go telling me off unless you know what your talking about =p Platformers are when you jump from platform to platform, overcoming various obstacles NSMB wii, smb1-3, donkey kong country, etc
