Topic: What Nintendo franchise do you want most on 3DS?

[oohhboy]

I would love to see more Advanced Wars. I know the top screen will be just full of graphical fluff, but it will be 3D fluff. Also with all that extra RAM, you can have maps of epic sizes that have battles rage across it on more multiple fronts.

Battalion Wars would be sweet too.

Edit: Why do I bother mentioning those, you know Nintendo will make them. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequal to Warship Gunner 2. It's a silly naval equivalent of Dynasty Warriors where you take your pimped out ship and blow a lot of stuff up.

Contra would be sick.

From Nintendo:

New Handheld Zelda (a la Spirit Tracks) without stylus controls
Ice Climbers 3D (Oh yes, this would be so awesome.  Not a port, but a new game)
Mario and Luigi 3D

From 3rd Parties:

Dragon Quest 3D
Castlevania 3D
Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX 3D Up-res remakes!
Elite Beat Agents 3D (With licensed songs, can I dream?)
Sin and Punishment 3D (new game OR a high-res, high-poly remake of the 1st game!)

[Oblivion]

I don't want the PS1 Final Fantasies on the 3DS. That honor can go to V and VI. I'd like the PS1 games to be "up-res" remade on the PS3.

Yes please.  Also take advantage of the surround sound, I've had some impressive moments in SSF4 of all things.

Ha ha, me too  . Listening through my BOSE ear buds (so so good ).

Sin and Punishment 3D (new game OR a high-res, high-poly remake of the 1st game!)

You'll be getting this. Its called Kid Icarus Uprising.

[Gameboy Freak]

Nintendo Games:
The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda 3DS (A new and original entry to the series)
Metroid 3DS (Preferably in 2D)
Super Mario Land 3DS

3rd Party Games:
Mortal Kombat Kollection (MK1, MKII, MK3, UMK3, MKT, MK4,MKG)
Mortal Kombat 3DS (An upgraded port of the new game ala SSFIV)
Castlevania 3DS (Hopefully with the 1999 storyline with Julius Belmont and completely new enemy sprites and locations)
Banjo-Kazooie 3DS (Will probably never happen but dammit I refuse to give up my dreams!)
Shenmue 3DS

While I'd love to see a smash brothers.  I do go through loads of controllers in my time with the game (My friends and I once recorded our all-time stats in a semester... I spent over a week in actual match time!).  It would amazing if they allowed for some connectivity with wii remotes and gamecube controllers... just imagine being able to use motion or an elite controller on 3DS games!

I think no one's mentioned this and I think the 3DS is perfect for a reboot of this series: Meganman Battle Network.  With spot and street pass, you can easily make hotspots places for megaman (or your own custom navi) to jack into!  I'd prefer it be like the anime where the navis were AI and the battler was in charge of uploading chips.  It'd be like Digimon World on the PSone where you just gave generic tactic commands to your digimon.  Here, you'd do the same as well as uploading battle chips.  With streetpass, you could have battles like SSF IV.  Not to mention the personal assistant aspect of the net navi as well.  Imagine a new home screen that was themed to your navi.  That would be just too insanely awesome.

Monster Hunter would be another excellent franchise for the system.  Just feeds off multiplayer well

Mortal Kombat 3DS (An upgraded port of the new game ala SSFIV)

Actually, this is seeming pretty likely, with Blazblue and DOA  and SSF4 already on the 3DS, looks like fighting games may be to the 3DS what JRPG's were to the DS.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the circle pad.   With the flat plane of movement (rather than the concave plane of movement of Dual Shock/360/Classic analog sticks), it seems to mimic fighting game joysticks almost perfectly.  Been able to consistently pull off quarter, half, and even full circle special moves in SSF4, and I usually suck at fighting games.

Been playing Excitebot I definitely wouldn't mind a game from the Excite series.

[Despicable]

Mario Kart.

[GoldenPhoenix]

A side scrolling Metroid game with 3D boss fights (I mean free roaming 3D space). I would like it to be made in house though. A talented team could really utilize the 3D visuals to do some pretty neat cinematic stuff.

[Flames_of_chaos]

In a way I'd like to see re-makes of Virtual Boy games except with actual color. Though they can omit stuff like NESter's bowling.

[nickmitch]

That'd make for a nice collection.

I just finished collecting all the puzzle pieces for the Metroid: Other M diorama on Puzzle Swap (one of the Mii Plaza Streetpass games) and I gotta tell ya, seeing the Samus model used for Other M on the 3DS screen makes me think that maybe they should have released it on the handheld.


I think the game would have looked incredible in 3D with the way the maps were created and the art design.  The first person/third person mechanic could have still remained in the game, but executed a lot smoothly due to not having to switch the physical device around each time. Having a second screen to keep the map displayed would have been handy (better yet, when it was time to look in first person to just have that switch to the lower screen since you'll using it to aim and shoot anyway). Finally, this would have definitely been a killer app for many people to pick up a 3DS day one.


As divisive as this entry into the series is, I think it would have been received better (and some of the shenanigans it pulls tolerated somewhat more) if it launched as a 3DS title.  Thoughts?
