Do game companies accept ideas?

[Deathreaper]

Huh. I never thought the Mario sports games really counted here. As for SOnic, I thought Adventure 1&2 were good. The new one was okay, it had great music but the glitches were really pulling the game off. I haven't played Sonic Unleashed or the Black Knight.

But, anyhow. As far as the actually true Mario games go, I'd disagree with you, Drace. You seem to have some weird problem with the non-main games. Those, to me, are just games just to be out there. If you want to talk about good Mario non-main games. What about SuperStar Saga, Partners in Time, Mario RPG 3 and others I can bring up? Looking at that, I don't think I'd pay attention to Mario Tennis.

As for 3D Mario games, I've enjoyed them quite a bit. I liked 64, Super Sunshine and Galaxy. I've actually played 64 for 4 years. Many people consider it a classic and one of the best Mario Games to date

Super star saga, combat just like oaoer mario. but without Square helping them make Super mario RPG.
Nintendp would've probably never made the paper mario or M&L Superstar saga

Oh, so playing golf with Mario is a win?

But then it's not a copy-paste, it's just a familiar face in a new game.

And yes, it is win. DIAF.

[Drace]

Of course those sport and other games count. They got the official Mario name stamp. You can't just ignore them. Besides, the 3D was "fun" at most but hardly the best.

[Deathreaper]

That's like saying FF Chocobo Racing games count. It's just simple filler, really. Just to entertain people as they wait for the main games. As for Mario 64, that's your opinion, really. I consider Super Mario World to be the best Mario game. But, 64 was loved by many and it brought alot new to the table. I had alot of fun with it and it's one of my favorite 64 games.

Chocabo dungeons win

But they do count. The main difference is, is that the fillers with Mario overwhelm the actual good games. Nowadays it's mainly used because they know it will make the cash.

I also share your opinion about that, Super Mario World is the best. Also, please take note that I don't hate Super Mario 64. It's not the best, sure, but I still enjoyed it. Just less than the 2D ones. I just don't think those new Mario games are really that original. You guys complain about original but protect Mario like it's a god, that's hypocrisy.

My opinion is that everyone who complains about unoriginal games should take a look away from the main stream and search those games that are original, cause they're out there. Just search them, buy them and give them high reviews so that those companies will make more original games. Team Ico is a great example.

[Deathreaper]

Well, I personally think you're putting way too much detail with the sports games. But, as for other games. I play a bunch of non-mainstream. I loved Ico. I play Shin Megami Tensei, I loved Glover, Ristar, SF3 (which I consider underrated), Arcana Heart and a bunch of others. So, I don't just play the mainstream, I look for hidden gems all the time.

The only reason I'm defending Mario is, I don't think it's exactly fair to bundle the sports games with it. And besides, those usually rank as "ok".

[Darkfox]

I'm an underground gamer, I play games that are not mainstream. Only the few that are any account.

I'm also a retro gamer, I love the classics, not because they classic, but because they are addictive and fun still. SMB had it's BEST days in the realm of 2D. Wouldn't hurt to make a retro SMB game. After all, Capcom did a retro Megaman game. Strangely people eat this stuff up. Nintendo has nothing to lose from doing a more oldschool SMB game. I'd buy it. XD

[Djanki]

Oooooooor, they could just re-release any of the Mother games in the U.S.; Earthbound Zero, Earthbound, Mother 3, heck, any one of those is orgasm-inducing.

Of course, I'd prefer a sequel to Comix Zone or Ristar. Man, Sega had so many awesome games...

[Djanki]

About the part on Mother, or the part on Sega's forgotten classics?

[Apex]

Big game companies HATE new ideas. They hate new ideas with a passion, they rather tweak old (FAIL) ideas.

Though there are some that listen and even have a forum FOR listening. I think Atlus has one.

Atlus is also a publisher, and they do hold a forum that all of the companies they publish for as well. Atlus does things right as far as listening to their fans goes, because most of the time they do implement the ideas, Eterain Odyssey for instance.

I want super mario RPG's sequel.

[Djanki]

Great! There's Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Super Mario Bros. Superstar Saga, Super Mario Bros. Superstar Saga: Travelers in Time....take your pick!

This one had squares help. It was an actual squeal, and held the same concepts systems.
Unless it has Geno in it, then do not want.
