Nintendo considering even more Metroid, Zelda spin-offs?

According to a web-based survey conducted by market research group Zanthus, Nintendo may be considering further spin-offs to their ever popular Zelda and Metroid franchises. But if you thought that Metroid Pinball was weird, you should see some of the genres possibly under consideration for the future: card games, board games, (MMO)RPGs, fighting games, puzzle games, trivia games, strategy games, and even (extreme?!) sports games. (See the screenshot taken above.) The page you see here only popped up after the survey participant was asked about the merits of each series (and series installment), as well as what he felt about each franchise’s current direction on each of Nintendo’s currently revealed platforms (that is, the DS, GameCube, and Revolution). While I didn’t see a similar list for Zelda games among the pages offered, I can only assume that different answers in the survey taken would have resulted in a parallel selection screen for our hero Link.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you’ll see Samus poppin’ some sick tricks on the slopes of Zebes anytime soon; after all, it’s only a survey. But you can bet that Nintendo’s looking for more ways to exploit, er… to fully utilize its non-Mario franchises as soon as possible.
Okay, some of those choices seem normal. An FPS, a platformer, those are things that we know and love. A fighting game, well, we had an inkling of that through Super Smash Brother Melee. But a card game? An extreme sports game? Yikes.

Branching out into every possible genre worked just fine for Mario. Why not let the rest of the Nintendo posse in on the fun?

Don't get me wrong, if they pull it off, I'm sure it'll be great. The mind just boggles at some of the considerations. But to have truly great innovation in this industry, one has to be prepared to fail.
