Darmik 07/25/17 10:57:35 PM #1:	I can't think of many. Sin and Punishment seems to be one. They released a sequel but as far as I know both games flopped The Wonderful 101 seems to be one too though I suppose that was just a Nintendo published game but for the sake of this topic these may as well be included. Eternal Darkness as far as I know was a success but the studio mismanaged it and it's dead Geist was Nintendo right? That is well and truly dead and didn't go anywhere. I guess Nintendoland too? Not sure if they intended that to be a new minigame franchise. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:883604034] in Which Nint... [t:75605188]...</cite> <quote>I can't think of many.

Startropics was actually developed by Nintendo USA back when they did things other than be corporate mouthpieces for the Japanese EAD division. But to answer your question, Earthbound failed miserably. Despite the series being extremely well liked by fans, these fans clearly have no money to buy the game.

They've just ran their natural course I think. Brain Age was absolutely massive. Like it was a huge success. Punch Out! was one of Nintendo's first big hits. I'd say the originals are pretty iconic. But there's no where else for it to really go and I think ARMS is the final nail in the coffin for the franchise. But neither of them failed at all. They were huge hits.

paladin_man 07/26/17 1:09:24 AM #25:	foxhound101 posted... Advance Wars needs to come back from the grave... It does. But that is unlikely to happen when Nintendo is forcing IS to solely focus on Fire Emblem. They COULD make it work, especially as a smartphone game. They would just have to market how Advance Wars is similar to Fire Emblem but with an exciting and modern twist to it. Although I dislike the free-to-play model a lot, it is the only shot Advance Wars would really have at this point. And even then, it's still unlikely to happen since Nintendo smartphone games tend to be high budget and making an AW game would divide their FE: Heroes playerbase. --- Just a friendly reminder that Nintendo was founded in 1889. <cite>paladin_man posted [p:883610376] in Which Nint...
