If the new Switch can do ray-tracing, I wonder if they'd do something with Wave Race.

I still love the idea of Star Fox Grand Prix, that weird rumor that kinda never really was a thing. If you take Star Fox as an on rails game, you essentially already have a racer. The level is as confined and linear as a racing track and the core concept is to not crash and burn. The difference is that Star Fox as a shooter is not focused on speed... but imagine if it was! Star Fox 64 is unique in that its levels occasionally branch and allow different level exits. That choice is usually made simply by moving in a certain position and you can take your grand ol' time to finish the level. I was always fascinated by the idea that a future game took this branching concept and gave it a sense of urgency. These branching points would close off if you took too long. If instead you performed very well, took out enemies efficiently and quickly, you could progress through the level more quickly, reach these branching points in time and take a new and more difficult level segment as a reward for skill mastery. A sort of combination of the shooter genre with the racer genre. I don't think that will ever happen, but especially in a time of speedrunning as a spectator sport and speedrunning focused games like Neon White I feel like there is something there to explore.

If not naughties, then what? "Aughts"?

I mean, to be fair, most traditional racing games are awfully similar to each other, and even the individual gameplay of most racing games is pretty repetitive since you can only race on so many tracks and always have a pretty simple goal. Nintendo doesn't want to release too many games that are so similar to each other. Plenty of people say that they don't NEED to make a new F-Zero game for this same reason, since Mario Kart already covers that genre as much as they need to. Now, as an avid F-Zero fan, I don't agree with that assessment. Even with all the similarities within the genre, Mario Kart and F-Zero are still plenty different (though I think if we do get a full new F-Zero after 99 then it should have quite a lot of singleplayer campaign content akin to GX and GP Legend, as to differentiate from Mario Kart which is typically much more multiplayer focused with the exception of F-Zero 99). But if we were to get something like a new Mario Kart, F-Zero, Wave Race, Excite Bike, and Donkey Kong Racing game for every Nintendo system, then the racing game market definitely get oversaturated and each of these individual games would have to do SO much crazy stuff in order to stand out in what is normally a pretty same-y genre. Maybe they could pull it off without making any of these games to similar to one another, who knows, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the risk or the effort. I think it'd be best if they just kept it to 2 racing games per system, a Mario Kart and then either an F-Zero or a Wave Race (as a fan, my preference is F-Zero, though the return of Wave Race would also be welcomed with open arms)

If Nintendo has a dozen 2D platformers then they can definitely have more than one racing franchise.

Ok I do wanna say something about the fighting game point at the start: all of those (excluding arms because that thing was dead on arrival and even then it did its own thing) were different sub genres smash is a platform fighter while Poken is a more traditional fighting game

Great video. I think a lot of it has to do with Nintendo reacting to industry change as well. Racing games are still popular, but they were even more popular back in the 80s-2000s, so there were more games to cater to that genre demand. Now racing games have centralized into a couple realistic franchises (Forza, Gran Turismo) and kart racers. Nintendo probably doesn’t feel the need to put out multiple ones. It’s the same with sports games. They used to have multiple franchises (Ken Griffey Jr, NBA Courtside, 1080 Avalanche) and now centralized into Mario sports games now that they see there’s not as much demand as there was in the past. If there’s another breakout hit in the genre that wows players and makes the genre more interesting again, like what happened to RPGs in the mid 2010s, I think it’s more likely we’ll see a revival of racing games from Nintendo. Additionally, for a future video, could you cover the rights issues that arise from Nintendo collaborating with other studios. That’s their usual MO and people praise them for it, but I think it would be interesting to see the challenges and opportunities that come for franchises and games that Nintendo makes with outside studios. For example, I’m thinking of games like Baten Kaitos Origins and Bayonetta 2, which are owned by Nintendo but whose franchises are owned by another company, or games like Ogre Battle 64 which are co-owned by Nintendo but haven’t had a new entry in a while.

What do you think about nintendo getting Ubisoft to port Trackmania (2020) to switch 2? The game is doing pretty well and got ports to xbox/ps5 last year, with the rumored power of the new console TM would be a great racing game to announce is coming, especially with its KZread popularity and community driven content.

Nice vid. It would be nice if they made some more I feel like the genre has a lot of issues at the moment. The whole "The Crew" controversy on top of the constant push for realism and microtransactions tend to hear a lot of fans of games like Need for speed preferring the older titles. All the best.

They need something akin to Micro Maniacs on the Switch, that game was crazy fun back on the PS1! Speed Freaks was also another great kart racer back then, I’d love a remake or new entry for Switch.

They could also just make a F-Zero GX remastered for the Switch... if only just to throw something at fans / people who would like to give the game a try without spending hundreds. And to just use again a saga that does still have some name recognition.

This is a somewhat tangentially related and kind of stupid question, but what are your thoughts on the possibility of Nintendo supporting the PC platform? I know the majority stance is that Nintendo would never do such a thing for historical and financial reasons, but there’s an irrational part of me that feels it might happen sooner than later. With the majority of Sony’s Helldivers 2’s success being credited to its PC playerbase, I’ve been more seriously considering what Nintendo could gain (or lose) by adding PC support for their multiplayer games (at least). A huge benefit I could see for a Splatoon or Mario Kart entry on both Switch 2 and PC would that it would be more accessible for regions where PC gaming is better established like China. There’s an argument to be made Nintendo branching out to PC would detract sales from the Switch (2), but honestly I think Nintendo’s in a unique position where they have more to gain on PC than either Sony or Microsoft. PS5 and Xbox Series have been getting closer to being PCs in both capabilities and functions, and I feel that overlap unfortunately causes competition between the two versions. The Switch and its successor will have a very unique niche and form factor that is very unlike PC, which could allow both versions to succeed in harmony (this reasoning might explain why Switch has been so financially successful in spite of its ease of emulation). That being said, I would definitely expect Nintendo to set up their own terrible storefront with nightmarish DRM attached were they to support PC. I apologize for the tangent, I’d be interested to hear others takes on whether Nintendo supporting PC would be disastrous or pretty good.

Unfortunately, Nintendo's way too stubborn for this. They won't port anything off of their own systems (or mobile devices, which I guess maybe sets a precedent?) unless you put a gun to their head. Also, considering how their systems substantially rely on their first party output, they might torpedo their success if they start putting big releases elsewhere. But, people often play some of their older titles on PC through emulation anyway, so they MIGHT AS WELL get something official on there for older titles so they can at least get paid for what people are already doing.

That depends on whether or not their next system is a sinking ship.

Most of those games from Sega PC are derived from Sega Saturn, as those games and that system were selling poorly in the West.

Quality not quantity. Nintendo tend to release titles when they have an idea for them rather than 'time to milk another entry.' They have an idea and they decide which franchise it suits. So they may have an idea that could suit F-Zero, but it might take Mario Kart somewhere new, which is much more of an important impact.

Paint areas while racing that your team can benefit from if they driver over it? Try to cover the whole track and thus be incentivised to take unique lines instead of the perfect racing line? I think they would rather investigate these new concepts, and I'm curious what they could come up with.

Another possibility is that Dream Buffet is something of a tech demo or rather dev training for this Dillon game.

U guys see Pokémon as a game or any other series that’s either good or bad but it’s not that it’s more than that It’s a culture and a lifestyle a living breathing world with a story and lore and characters We form parasocial relationships with these fictional animals because we love them so much and they have so much personality and backstory ​​⁠their dev time is 3-6 actually u just don’t feel it cuz they work on multiple projects simultaneously with the budget of a Disney channel movie around 15-20mil and they have to balance game release with the anime and the cards Everyone can say pokemon should be like Zelda or xenoblade but those games don’t have an anime and a tcg they have to abide by it’s like jenga Also they do make decisions dictated by the competitive scene And they may or may not share resources that part I’m unsure of Hot take: the point of Pokémon is to appeal to the widest audience possible and that there’s something for everyone from mainline to the anime to the spin offs Well maybe if people got into the other avenues of the franchise rather than solely the games u wouldn’t be disappointed Since the series was designed to be symbiotic with itself and to experience every avenue together for a complete experience U guys need to reevaluate ur priorities Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant People are too focused on superficial nonsense ​​⁠let’s be real u didn’t get into the original games for the graphics And If u didn’t play games for the graphics as a kid then why would u play them for the graphics now Sorry u forgot what the point of Pokémon was to begin with Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t And something that doesn’t fit its style Maybe u don’t like Pokemon just aren’t into RPGs and that’s fine dont have to use that as an excuse to be toxic If its not ur thing just move on imo They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way Pokémon is always meant to be an entry level jrpg maybe the people trying to hate on pokemon maybe they just aren’t into jrpgs If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need The series knows what it is and its niche(by niche I mean space) and what it wants to be and there’s nothing wrong with that and it doesn’t have to be anything else The mainstream audience doesn’t care about graphics or bugs or anything they just like to vibe People are just trying to make it something that is isn’t And something that doesn’t fit its style Maybe u don’t like Pokemon just aren’t into RPGs and that’s fine dont have to use that as an excuse to be toxic If its not ur thing just move on imo They’re gonna do their own thing and be their own thing in their own way Calling pokemon “lazy” is lazy they got more to do than most devs they make two games and have to be symbiotic with the rest of the series and all this other stuff They can’t delay the game they have a symbiotic release system The games are leashed to the anime,tcg,etc and the anime,tcg etc is leashed to the games Tpc is constantly playing a game of jenga trying to balance each of its branches The games are in development for 3-6 years we just don’t feel it because a lot of times they work on multiple generations at the same time they have two teams the games have a 15-20 million dollar budget They probably share resources Maybe about the sharing idk They have been working on Gen 10 for a few years now Visuals,frame rate,art style are irrelevant People are too focused on superficial nonsense If The lore was good The writing was good The music was good The vibes were good The messages were good The character designs were good That’s all you really need Can’t believe people still care about that frame stuff I’m sorry people got so lost and brainwashed by the superficialities of the industry you forgot what Pokémon was originally about And I know that the game isn’t perfect and that there’s issues Pokémon is a franchise where the theme is friendship is magic and meeting cute and cool unique monsters What the hell does graphics and performance have to do with those things? Nothing if you wanna criticize a franchise criticize it on whether or not it delivered on the messages and themes it promised Was friendship magic? Did you meet cute and cool unique creatures? Ok then it’s a good game Those are what’s important to Pokémon As the og theme said Pokémon is about Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through you teach me and I teach you” That’s what it is about and that’s what it will always be about and if that’s what it continues to be about until the end Then that’s a strong enough ending for me Not sure what graphics and animation and performance has to do with that Performance graphics those things never Mattered You have to remember pokemon games have only been 3D since 2013 that’s pretty recent compared to other games like Zelda that have been 3D since the 90s and early 2000s so obviously they’re gonna be behind Mixed with the fact that They can’t delay the game because main console for only 5 years compared to Zelda since n64 The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games And it’s about time you all understand that by now They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga If you move one thing it all falls apart They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games they are still learning as they go so y’all gotta be patient and give them time to catch up Their partnership with take two they’ll apply what they learn back into Pokémon so that’s good You have to remember gamefreak are inexperienced with developing open world games so of course there will be some trial and error the more they work on and improve the game and do future games the better at it they’ll get Rome wasn’t built in a day we need to be patient Assuming we get more open world games NOT TO MENTION ScarVi’s development was probably screwed up by the pandemic Probably turned it upside down And before u say just delay the game They can’t delay the game The franchise was designed so that every aspect of it has a symbiotic relationship The games can’t release without the anime the merch and the manga and the manga the merch and the anime can’t release without the games And it’s about time you all understand that by now They are doing their best trying to balance the games with the tcg and the anime The Pokémon franchise is like a game of jenga If you move one thing it all falls apart They are doing the best they can sorry I’m the only one who appreciates that Unless you want them to hypothetically release the Gen 10 anime and then wait till the anime gets to Gen 15 to release the Gen 10 games ​​⁠it’s not outdated it’s rebellious and nonconformist The games aren’t rushed there is a schedule they abide by for symbiosis The games and the anime and tcg are all beholden to each other You can’t move one without ruining the groove Unless you one gen 10 game to come out years after the gen 10 anime and have it spoiled There is a symbiosis there When you watch the anime it makes u wanna play the game and vice versa so they are companion pieces designed to be experienced together for a complete experience They choose to live in their own bubble and be one of a kind and not imitate what everyone else does and they have my respect for that the og games bugs are looked back on as charming Give SV 20 years it’ll be the same Running shmunning

I been a Nintendo fan for a very long time, but I am personally disappointed with Nintendo decision to go with the Nintendo Switch 2. It just seems like an upgraded Switch rather then a new console, more like a Super Nintendo Switch or Switch U that will be coming up. Because Nintendo popularity and amazing games I am sure it will do well, but my overall disappointment is that in Nintendo first 3 consoles they were bolder and move competitive and innovative in their designs to develop the best consoles before they adopted a blue ocean strategy, focusing on using underpowered consoles instead and making family market and kid friendly and paying less attention to third parties. Eventually Sony took control of this and stormed away with the Playstation consoles and Microsoft also managed to get into the major market with the XBOX even challenging Nintendo as Nintendo Wii U tanked. I was just hoping they designed something revolutionary with amazing graphics, VR and AR with online and television gaming not a hybrid console that acts like a handheld at times. Sega and Atari the former heavyweight champions in consoles made great games, but their consoles could not compete with the heavy competition along with the games. Nintendo managed to stay in because they are the best in the world in making games, better then Sony and Microsoft. But Sony and Microsoft have been making a lot better consoles then Nintendo recently. Switch was a major improvement over the Nintendo WII and Wii U and a lot better then the GameCube although those systems where still pretty good if not exceptional. The last console I was super excited about from Nintendo was the Nintendo 64 because that was a revolutionary console ahead of all the other consoles as 64 bit console even though it used cartridges unlike Playstation and XBOX with their 32 bit systems. Sony did a much better job marketing the video game consoles then Nintendo and Sega at the time and managed to become the king of the console wars with the Playstation and Playstation 2 and so forth. The only company outside the major players that makes more money then these companies in video games is TenCent from China and they don't even have their own console but diversify in various aspects of video game.

@@therealjaystone2344 No the consoles you mentioned after SNES are handhelds. My references are to Nintendo home consoles. After the SNES came the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Nintendo Wii and Wii U then the Nintendo Switch. Before the SNES was the first major real console in the USA market NES or Super Famicom in Japan.
