Nintendo Games that Will NEVER Get A Sequel
Переглядів 1,6 тис.7 місяців тому
Looking at Nintendo Games and Franchises that are Dead and will never get sequels. Games with so much potential yet garnered none. These games came up short in sales(sometimes more than once!). So what happened? Why? And what was Nintendo thinking in making or publishing these lovable losers. Let's take a look!

Morrowind ❤
much better than Zelda I imo. The combat is outstanding
There Was a dungeon I ran into that was level 52 and I was only level 5 so I sat on a ledge he couldn't get me on for 3 hours shooting him with a pistol cause I couldn't leave cause the exit was a ladder and I refused to die
Ocrina of time 3D
I dont think u guys have that fully correct i can remember that link from tp learns the song for epona and not already know it
Yiz took 2 or 3 hours i think and i kinda afkd the bastard because he was basically stat nulled into a bullet sponge and the mountian of a turtle took an hour the first time?
Nice job beating them both 👍
I feel like that pop-up book style kind of got put into Kirby’s epic yarn
Oh true, I hadn't thought about that
Yes, Kirby‘s dreamland four
The fact we waited almost just as long for Kirby‘s return to dreamland as we wi for GTA six
I know, right?
@@gamenerdlegacy wild
YIAZMAT........😐
Yup
I played the original and loved the hell out of it.
Maybe I'm biased because I've heard it so much, but the FDS music sounds terrible compared to cartridge in my opinion.
Yea for me growing up with NES music makes the FDS music sound not quite right.
RING OF LUCII DEAD IN MINUTES
meh, Yggralith Zero and Telethia plume would take more than a week for hundreds of players bashing at them and most of the times they couldn't even be defeated before they fled.
I knew Yggralith but not about Telethia plume. I need to go fight that one
@@gamenerdlegacy If we are talking about the same game, sadly you can no longer fight neither of them since the wii u online service is dead
@@24masksOh yeah you're right I just checked. Both bosses can no longer be fought cuz the online shutdown 😞
@@gamenerdlegacy If we are lucky they'll bring Xeno X to Switch 2
Interestingly I never realized it was pink hair until years later when the internet became a thing and people started asking about it. CRT blurriness which you mention combined with humans not usually paying a lot of attention to small details probably caused a lot of brains to gloss over it and assume it was blonde or something else all together.
True. I didn't know either until I grew up and the internet told me, lol
Hero of Wind is the best Link.
Haha nice 👍
final fantasy games feel like they put aload of tedious unnecessary shit in, just to mess with you. like the side missions in ff16, fuk me... go here, go there... 50x times
This isn't evil Link, this is something more. This is MADLAD LINK!
OOOOOHHHH Dang!
No link is alive because link in majoras mask is actually the heros shade in twilight princess and hes an adult so link could not have deid during majoras mask because hes a kid so he must have deid sometine after the game and if you dei in the lost woods kids turn.inzo skuul kids and adults turn into the stalfos so he deid around sometime after majoras mask perhabs in the gorudo hylian war
Yeah you make some great points here 👍
great video!
Aw thanks so much!
@@gamenerdlegacywhy u stop editing?
With all that space the didn't use they could gave put all 4 japanese languages in the game. That would have stopped the poor English translation by hiwsrd philips cuz he was the one who learned Japanese from working in the warehouse in jersey
The gameplay counselor you showed in purple with the nes advantage was my next door cubicle partner. Her name was Nancy something ski she was always eating polish foods for lunchtime. Glad they only showed her frosted hairdo cuz she was like 50 and we all were summer college workers. She truly killed the demographic of a game player...she ended up working with bill wright in advertising. That zekda commercial with the weird actor yelling tektites and octorocks was in the corey haim film license to drive and i think from what i remember he ended up passing by not being able to swim and going in the ocean at Newport beach
Oh so interesting. Yeah Nancy definitely killed the gamer demographic especially in the 80s. The actor in the commercial went on to be the voice of the Crypt Keeper in the show Tales from the Crypt. I had more on him for the video but i cut it for time
U want hell, goto level 9 second quest and see if your "theres usually a blue bubble nearby" theory hold up. I remember my first time in late 80s fetting to ganon in second quest with no sword cuz of the red bubbles and i could backtrack cuz your locked in with ganon. Well after letting my full 16 hearts go to 1 i used my potion because i realized i was doomed but then once i finished drinking it link started using his sword again. Turns out no one ever published or saud anything other than u need a blue bubble. Turns out using a position, topping off your hearts by fairy, or pausing the game while a red bubble makes you flash all are ways to restore your sword. I really was the hero cuz that was the day ganon died forever.... it's still talked about in the halls of Philips elementary school halls in Denver to this day. Theres a zelda 2 say what aaaarghhh ganon had returned for revenge
Haha that's awesome. The 2nd quest is tough. I didn't know about the pausing with the red bubble flashing. I do know your sword restores if you use a fairy fountain in the overworld. Yeah if you were stuck with Ganon and couldn't use your sword that is Hell 😅
i cringe anytime i see FFXV
Lol fair
PRINCESS TOADSTOOL 4 lyfe!!!!
hahaha YES 🙌
Malon or Splatoon Agent 3, you can’t change my mind
👍👍
Ive beaten it in 10 seconds with the ring
The True Ring of Power 💍
But then why does link have brown hair in the Zelda on the nes at a time when TVs were even worst
On the original NES, Link could only be 3 colors plus transparency. So their choices were very very limited
I like wind Waker graphics and I like twilight princess graphics, but I hate the style they chose for echos of wisdom and I’m completely over botw graphics.
Would you like them to go back to Twilight Princess or Wind Waker graphics for the next Zelda game?
@@gamenerdlegacy Twilight for sure. My biggest desire for any video game would be an updated Twilight Princess type game. TP remaster would be nice, but best case is a sequel or separate but similar game.
@@yozarian86 Ah ok cool. A TP remaster would be cool but I've given up on it for the Switch. Tho I'd definitely be down for a new/sequel TP game 👍
@@gamenerdlegacy I have a feeling that when the next system is announced, there will be something related to TP announced for both systems.
@@yozarian86 That would be awesome! Nintendo should have some great games for the Switch 2 at launch especially since we've waiting a long time for it 😅
70K views YAZZZ! Keep going!
Haha Thanks! Your constant support and keeping up with the video is much loved 🥰
Amazing documentary!
Aw thanks so much!
A new nickname shall be henceforth bestowed upon ALttP: A Link to the Pink. 😂
Lmao! 😂
Based on ALttP’s official art illustrations of Link with blonde hair even though sprite-based portrayals weren’t always accurate in those days, I always assumed as a kid that the in-game pink color was the brim of his cap. It’s a far more logical rationale, isn’t it? 🤷🏻♀️
It was the same logical rationale I had as a kid, lol
It's too bad you can't change links hair color in tears or the kingdom. I could see a lot of people doing that.
That would be cool
This is unrelated but I wanna ask something. What is Malon’s favorite fruit? It’s a waterMALON 😂.
😂😂😂
I don’t see this as being hard it’s a nuisance and it sounds like lazy developers can’t make a boss fight for shit so there view of a boss being hard is let’s see how much HP we can give the boss so it takes HOURS FOR PLAYERS TO KILL IT NO NOT BECAUSE THE BOSS IS HARD BUT BECAUSE THE BOSS HAS A GIANT HP BAR AND YOU DO SHIT DAMAGE COMPARE TO ITS HP just like my comment before from 7 months ago final fantasy is just like assassins creed overmilked trash
That is not the reason. It has to do with the color pallette limitations of the game.
You mean cuz of the Bunny sprite in the Dark World?
Actually, could it be a color blindness issue? Don’t some people with red-green color blindness see green as more of a brown? Maybe that would have made link’s clothes blend in too much with him
Hm that is an interesting point you make. I think its possible.
I don’t think there was enough social awareness of players with color blindness (or enough sympathy to enact social equity for them) back in the 90’s to warrant the pink color inclusion in order to accommodate such players unlike nowadays when games such as TLOU 1 & 2 that boast many visual options for color blindness.
@@DigitusDendron Very true. Even the flashing lights that give some people seizures, they weren't aware of back then.
the shark theme is not a tritone
Yeah I had a other mention that to me. My bad 😓
Link has pink hair because he isn't Link. She's Linka.
Age of clamity seaqule would Be confusing the light dragon zelda is still Well a dragon because it seems Rauru was wining Gananodorf Rauru was under him And now holding him down So if they deafted the clamity which caused him to wake up that the hyrule castle was destroyed not So much in age of clamity So Light dragon zelda will Be always a dragon only explananiton is Terrako using His time travel
You make some good points
I've only ever really played the first one on my 3DS, and I became lost in Skull Mountain, so I never completed it.
Ah yeah it can very easy to get lost in early Zelda games. As a kid in the 80s playing it. I needed the help of friends to complete it lol
*"Maiden in Darkness"* Oh, well, probably an remake again... *"...it later became The Binding Blade"* WTF?? Thank goodness it then didn't released for the 64!!!
yup
Its same like yiazmat in ffxii, took a long time to defeat
Yup
Original, then HD, realized HD is just the original with the Hero Mode skip cutscenes on at all times, and had next to no improvements, so Og will remain my fave.
There's still something endearing about the Og SS
Really shows how many little annoyances the original Wii version had.
Sephirot from ff7 is the longest best fight i ever do, it took me 2 years to defeated him
God, you are such a nerd! ... That's why I just subscribed.
Haha aw thanks so much and I strive to be even more nerdy lol
I don’t remember the turtle boss in FFXV. What chapter are they in?
You can find him after you beat the game.
Because link is a female in that game... thought that was obvious? Edit: sorry, non binary. They wanted Link to appeal to both sexes. But im quite sure Link is a she in LttP
