I hope you aren't expecting a good storyline in MK.

Won't that be like MK 14 or something? Jeez, there's a lot of them.
As for sequels in general, they're only capable of being good if the original was good, so I'm mostly happy with the sequals coming up. I just think that Nintendo should stress the whole "innovation" thing they've promised us. Animal Crossing was innovative, MP, although a sequal, was very innovative, ED was innovative. I'd much rather have new and interesting things to play than a sequal. (That's not to say that I don't want to play the next Zelda game. I love Zelda more than Psycho Mantis will ever be able to tell you.
