Gen Chat 0V: Paper Fallout of Doom Fantasy Zero

I'm saying is not every installment of a franchise has to link to the main story of the franchise.

Also I'm just saying, a game that has a storyline that has to link to the game before it will require more work because they have to carefully put in in place.

For example, a new F-Zero game is probably easier to make than a new Metroid prime game because it's not focusing on a story. The reason we see a new Mario game every now and then is because its story is simple (stop Bowser rescue Peach). While a Mario RPG, on the other hand, would have a more complex storyline and thus we don't see that often.

Why do they need it to have 2 racers? I understand the desire but the sales (my business side) doesn't see the point.

I'd rather have a Nintendo racer with characters and vehicles from several franchises

Smash Racers

That is the thing.  F-Zero was a racer, Mario Kart was a Kart racer.  Yes, they are similar, but if you can't see the difference then I simply can't help you.  The fact is that there is an un-fullfiled market on Nintendo's systems right now (Several actually)

I'm not complaining about the spinoff. I don't care about that. I'm empathizing with Koenig about them dicking around the fans when it comes to the main series. As for the whole "needing time," there has been plenty already. How much time are you talking about exactly? Like I said, just because a ton of time is dedicated into it, doesn't mean it'll be the greatest game ever (again, Duke Nukem Forever is the example).

For now, they're just giving us a taste and possibly experiment with a new idea.

When was the last one, Other M, five years ago? Has it been "long enough" in your estimation? I just think that it's been too long since they made one, and I kinda doubt they've been even working on one during that whole time.

But just considering the time that has already passed, they should have something, in my opinion.

I know, I recall it still. Wasn't it team ninja that worked on it? Or was it just Itagaki?

team ninja had absolutely no hand in the story. That was 100% Nintendo

You cannot use any DLC characters in offline mode. From a WB email

"In regards to the Goro issue, this character along with the other DLC characters require an active internet connection to be used. Unfortunately, we do not have a workaround for this at this time, we apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Not being able to use characters you paid EXTRA above the 60 dollar price tag is unforgivable.

Not to mention the mountain of bugs, crashes, unusable skins, rank resets, disconnects, lag, etc...
