If the studios went bankrupt - and for some godforsaken reason - they sold off IPs for a penny - what franchise would you snatch up?

Says what it says on the tin.

I really have no idea which one I'd take.

Star Fox.

One of the most mismanaged franchises in video game history, especially considering all people want is just more Star Fox 64. It's so easy, but they won't do it and I don't know why.

And even when they throw their hands up and just redo 64, like with Zero, they have to add some gimmick to ruin it enough that anyone who cared just went back to 64.

Yeah, Zero was the death kneel of the Wii U era from memories, can't believe it's almost been ten years since that backfire got announced - time REALLY flies when you can't get your ducks in a row

What's funny is that its also one of the only "big name" Wii U games that hasn't been ported to Switch to exponentially more sales and fame like most of their other first party titles.

And that's entirely because their Gamepad gimmick "can't be fully turned off" and would require remaking the whole game. They fucked up both their first and second chances with that retarded choice.

Miyamoto's ass can't die soon enough.

I'd argue that some of the Wii games that forced the remote onto players made better use of the Wiimote (even if gameplay got gypped a tad) than the GamePad. Same with the DS's touch screens, some really great game concepts came out of that.

I really think the only good game that actually gave the GamePad anything closest to a purpose was Super Mario Maker. I had a hard time adjusting to 2's new control scheme - and was one of the only times where I pined for that two screen setup bad

I wonder what kinds of games would have been made if they didn't stop at Lylat Wars.

Much like I wonder what kinds of sequels there would have been if more Highlander or Matrix movies had been made.

We will never know.
