I think third party games are just harder to get multiple sources to collaborate on. I'd say to calm those nerves a bit until we see the January 12th event.

You're right, better wait until january before going all pessimistic ;p

Both really great suggestions.
Yes please...!
If it's like Zelda 2 then yes.
Well, we know from EA they have a title coming at some point. NBA 2K16 is all but guaranteed. Oh, and Skyrim was on the list as well. Lego is probably happening. The new Monster Hunter game. All the announced partners' games. So there should be quite a bit more third party games this year than are on the list.

NeoGAF, I have a fan that want me to ask you this question. Thanks, Jonno394.
What Nintendo franchise would you like to see get a new spin off and what genre would it be?
Star Fox Hunting Action

Wow is this confirmation of Skyrim?
It's also very interesting that he seemed very impressed by something about the Switch that may still be under NDA.

Skyrim for sure and I bet we see Fallout 4 as well. The dude seems to love it.

Hot damn! Interesting to see Todd essentially confirm Skyrim when they were so coy about it before. I'm sure Nintendo just gave them an awkward N.D.A. previously but still.

Fire Emblem Warriors
Splatoon side-scrolling action game
I'm honestly pretty tapped out on Nintendo spin-offs otherwise. They need to focus on revitalizing their core single-player franchises.
Fire Emblem, JRPGNeoGAF, I have a fan that want me to ask you this question. Thanks, Jonno394.
What Nintendo franchise would you like to see get a new spin off and what genre would it be?
. I would like another attempt at that, learning from and building on TMS#FE but doing more with the crossover and having a more interesting setting and story.A Zelda JRPG or SRPG might be cool. Could do the Sealing War as an SRPG.
What we really need though is for the next Metroid game to be a game like Mr. Mosquito, where you're a Metroid looking for sustenance, dodging ice beams and missiles!
Really though, mostly this. Less spin-offs, more core series service. Give me a solid Mario/Zelda/Metroid/FE experience and keep those coming then branch out.

I know that the 2D Mario games have received a lot of flack for being overdone I would love to see more experimentation like what they did with giving Luigi his own levels. If they gave more characters (Peach, Toad, ect) their own levels based on their skill sets I would buy that for $30 once a year.
That would be sweet, an on-rails shooter but with a ton of freedom with movement would be really cool.

Wife asked me what I wanted for Christmass. I thought a while and came down on Nintendo fun bux. My hype for the switch is so real that I'm already hoarding the money. I might even write "Mario Maker Switch" on the gift card.
What?! Wow. Though perhaps Switch is just the next Radiant AI or whatever that was called.

He probably just can't say anything at all to describe what they were shown in the demo, whether it's something we saw in the trailer or not.

Hell no.
Go play Smash if you want that, F-Zero doesn't need to go down the path of Metroid and get its own Federation Force.

That's what I'm thinking. Either that or he's referring to the fact that he had a demo at E3 as being under NDA. That quote isn't very easy to interpret.
I was more taken aback by the extent of the praise tbh.
Interfectum
Member
Yup, same here. There's PR level praising (unprecedented partnership, etc) and then there's Todd seemingly genuinely excited for the system. I really think Nintendo is on to something here.

That part is definitely exciting! It's awesome to see a third party that isn't Ubisoft praising Nintendo hardware. I just wanted to chime in with a different stance on the interpretation of the quote. I don't think we know everything about the Switch yet, but I'm not sure I would jump to that conclusion based on this quote.
NeoGAF, I have a fan that want me to ask you this question. Thanks, Jonno394.
What Nintendo franchise would you like to see get a new spin off and what genre would it be?
F-Zero - Character Action game starring Captain Falcon
I mean, he's a bounty hunter in this cyberpunk world. So this'd actually make sense in the context of F-Zero and Captain Falcon's character.
Kirby RPG
This'd seem like a good fit. Partly because I think the Kirby universe and characters would be well suited for this kinda thing, also because I want something to fill the gap Paper Mario games have left for awhile.
Waluigi Homewrecking Crew
It's a real-estate or City simulator game. I don't know why, but roll with it.
Mysterious Murasame Castle Souls
Seen this idea being thrown around and it sounds interesting and fairly close in spirit to the original.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
NeoGAF, I have a fan that want me to ask you this question. Thanks, Jonno394.
What Nintendo franchise would you like to see get a new spin off and what genre would it be?
Mario Kart X Smash Bros aka Nintendo Kart by MK team
I'm pretty sure the team would do their best with those tracks' visual arts and those interesting locations. Playing as Kid Icarus' Pit and driving through several locations like Murasame Castle, Pikmin Garden, Ice Climbers' Mountains with Polar Bears, Duck Hunt Pond, along with Animal Crossing, Hyrule Kingdom and Mute City.
Pokemon Snap 2
What a missing opportunity for them to not making any for Wii U. GamePad would be a great Controller for that.
Smash Bros X JRPG
They could come up with anything with the plot. Cliche or not, like some kind of bad guy found a method to traveling around through dimensions and recruit those villains to set up a council of villains trying to screw over the heroes.
You would able to recruits good numbers of Nintendo characters.
Duck Hunt X ?
I would take anything to see a brand new Duck Hunt but I had a doubt about it.
The Mysterous Murasame Castle X 3D beat'em up or action RPG
Anything would works for me.
I see, thanks guys. For some reason I never read that article.
Or maybe I did but completely forgot about. Either way, it sounds really cool
I took that as the Rabbids messing with the controls but your idea makes more sense and it's less intrusive.

That Todd Howard quote has me super excited. Like, everything up until now has been good, nice praise- especially the stuff coming from Nvidia.
But calling it the best demo he's ever seen? That's very intriguing. Hopefully it's not some PR BS and he was actually very surprised and impressed by the Switch and whatever demo he's talking about.

I know Todd sits on a magnificent throne of lies but he definitely seemed genuine in his appreciation of the device. He doesn't seem to be someone who just blindly praises new consoles, else he'd have said something like about the Playstation Pro, so this is definitely exciting. Makes me think it's more powerful than my cynical mind expects; slightly below X1 levels is what I'm thinking.
Here's the thing: I like getting excited when Nintendo does cool things. But this comment....it just seems too good to be true, you know?
Or perhaps I'm assigning too much value to what he said. It could still be PR talk, even though he actually seems sincere.
I dunno man. I guess January just can't come fast enough.
NeoGAF, I have a fan that want me to ask you this question. Thanks, Jonno394.

Zelda RPG spin-off made by Alpha Dream. Link & Zelda Superstar Saga.

Honestly I just want to see some kind of non-violent exploration or adventure type of game starring Rosalina and her Luma's. I think she really has potential for a game protagonist.
Besides that I would love to see a Legend of Zelda-Spin-Off calles The Ruler of Hyrule starring Zelda/Shiek from OoT and take place after she send Link back in time. In my mind it would be a game about rebuilding Hyrule by using Shiek's sneaking skills and Zelda's wisdom in some form of adventure game with additional diplomacy mechanics. Something like that which would fit to the character.
I'm actually fine with Switch releasing on March 17. I got plenty of games to play until then. Overwatch, Rainbow Six: Siege and I just bought Titanfall 2. And with the usual games of FIFA 17 and Final Fantasy XIV, and Final Fantasy XV releasing next week, I think I'm covered until the Switch release. I'm not even looking for too many releases at launch. I think Splatoon and 3D Mario will do just fine until Breath of the Wild and Smash Bros. comes out in the Fall.

I actually came here to post this. What if... maybe... just maybe... Nintendo actually dodged a bullet by not releasing it this Holiday? With that thread about NPD numbers going around I've been thinking about this a lot. Back then it looked like a horrible decision, but maybe it kinda wasn't...
Well, January-April is very booked too..
Face it: at this point, people care more about Captain Falcon as a character than F-Zero proper. And this is from a guy that desperately wants F-Zero GX HD.
Federation Force also received backlash for a number of justified reasons beyond "the first Metroid game in 6 years (First good one in 8) is a spin-off." If Nintendo can pull off a good Falcon Brawler, by all means they should go for it.

Nah, Federation Force ain't that bad at all. It was really all just poor timing. If Metroid was a living franchise I'd think it would have had a chance to live.

5 seconds of big laughter... followed by realizing Punch-Out!! patterns might work well in Mario & Luigi style battles.
Tbh, they could pull an MGS2 on Metroid and I'd be down so long as the game was good Metroid just as MGS2 was good MGS.
I love Samus to pieces but...I care a lot more about Metroid gameplay than playing as her specifically.
Heck, I care about it more than Metroid having the feel/story I'd like to have. I'd have played Other M despite its character assassination, if it hadn't sounded like everything wrong with Fusion done worse.
This doesn't mean I don't have certain desires for the franchise beyond SM/MP gameplay, but it does mean that that takes precedence for me.
Hence my disagreement some pages ago with Skittzo about FROM Metroid. The sorts of virtues FROM could bring are not the sort of virtue I'm looking for first in Metroid, but rather ancillary virtues.
Edit: Top of page so for reference I was inspired to say this because of the Captain Falcon conversation on last page.

Most people might not like this, but I wish Nintendo would have made Metroid Prime FF for WiiU, a 4 player co-op online shooter in the metroid universe with HD graphics, would have been a good spin off, and I doubt it would have gotten a much hate then a ugly game with DS graphics.
But now Nintendo just needs to make a new HD Metroid on the Switch
