Topic: Staff Sez: If There Was One Non-Mario/Zelda/Pokemon/Metroid Announcement Nintendo Made at E3...

[Kairon]

The NWR staff avoid the usual suspects as they share their expectations, hopes, and delusions about the upcoming E3.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/34479

Staff Sez starts with a single question posed to each of the NWR staffers, who are then challenged to snap back a simple, short response. This time, the question was "If there was one non-Mario/Zelda/Pokémon/Metroid announcement Nintendo made at E3, what would you want it to be?" What did each person come up with despite that limitation? Their answers are below.

Carmine "Christmas in July" Red

I have the utmost desire to hug these people. Also, I demand the glorious return of Pilotwings. The ones from SNES and N64.

[Jess1053]

A Wii U follow up to Donkey Kong 64.


Luigi's Mansion 3 Wii U


The Nintendo DS Advance. Bigger hard drive, better graphics, even bigger screen, two circle pads, fully backwards compatible. 3D very optional.

[Shaymin]

For the love of god, give me X.

[EasyCure]

Earthbound! Give me a solid US release date for the VC or announce a 3DS (Wii U eShop exclusive version?) remake. Just give me Earthbound. I don't have a 3DS yet but I would buy it Just for Earthbound or Mother 3.

Everyone else who said Star Fox is correct, as are those that requested a new punch-out and MegaMan X

[Ceric]

Justin "Couch is King" Baker
A 3DS/DS player for Wii U, similar to the GBA player.

This is probably the only way I'll get X or Y unless someone can convince me otherwise.  I would like to play with my Son.

Guillaume "Eyestrain" Veillette
The complete Virtual Boy library of games on the 3DS Virtual Console.

Yes Please.

[ejamer]

Gameboy Advance games finally coming to the 3DS eshop

This would be great news. The GBA Ambassador games were awesome, and there are plenty of other GBA-exclusive titles that I'd buy on 3DS.

[Leo13]

Am I the only one holding out hope the Monolith Soft will release "X" before Christmas? That's the 1 announcement I really want!

[Gameboy Freak]

Well here is a few things:

Banjo-Kazooie 3DS (Nintendo getting the rights back)

Mortal Kombat 2011 Wii U/3DS

Mortal Kombat Kollection MK1-MKG Wii U/3DS

Metal Storm 2 (Nintendo getting the rights from whoever owns I-Rem)

GBA for the 3DS

Star Fox 2 Remake or Port to Wii U/3DS

No more friend codes at all

[Adrock]

Universal chat on Wii U and unified account between Wii U/3DS not tied to the hardware were already taken so...

Nintendo picks up Shadow of the Eternals, has Kensuke Tanabe supervise Precursor Games (like he did with Retro Studios on Metroid Prime), change it to Shadow of Eternal Darkness and launches it with a remake of Eternal Darkness.

For all the Mega Man X people, I'd even take it a step further. Nintendo buys the rights to the entire Mega Man series and asks Keiji Inafune to head up a new sequel.

[lukas85]

f-zero

[Pixelated Pixies]

Retro have created a new IP. It is awesome. It's coming Fall 2013...also, in their spare time they made Metroid Prime 4...and they're in the process of making Star Fox...and a sub-team within Retro have been designing tracks for a newly announced F-Zero game...and they have plans to make DKCR 2...they've also found a cure for the common cold.

[Stogi]

Wave Race.

Seriously, either that or F-Zero. I don't play Mario Kart that much any more (even when a new one comes out). It's just not my cup of tea any more. I need something with less items, and more speed.

[EasyCure]

For all the Mega Man X people, I'd even take it a step further. Nintendo buys the rights to the entire Mega Man series and asks Keiji Inafune to head up a new sequel.

That'd be so balls..

Make is so Iwata. Make it so..

[Mop it up]

Interestingly, there are only two things mentioned by the staff that I also want, which are the 3/DS Player and Virtual Boy games on 3DS VC. A 3/DS Player would honestly be a huge selling point for me with the Wii U.

[daverhodus]

You guys covered pretty much everything.

I just wonder what an HD Star Fox looks like. That kind of game doesn't really exist anymore.

[the asylum]

F-Zero, Starfox, or Custom Robo

Preferably F-Zero

[nickmitch]

A US Mother 3 release (maybe to coincide GBA on 3DS VC?) would be my personal megaton.

Or even a new game in the series, but that . . . that's just a pipe dream.

[night814]

Star Fox and and Nintendo developed Mega Man

[UncleBob]

Dinosaur Office Downloadable Episodes.

[pokepal148]

Dinosaur Office Downloadable Episodes.

NO!!!!!

[UncleBob]

Dinosaur Office Downloadable Episodes.

NO!!!!!

This is why you are a bad poaster.

[Khushrenada]

The problem with a 3DS player ala GBA Player for GC is that the Wii can not do 3D graphics which would then seem to indicate or show that they are irrelavent which is one of the main selling points and, heck, reason for the name of the system. I know a lot of people play without them but it runs counter to the current marketing strategy. A DS player, sure, maybe that could be done but DS games are being phased out with very few left on market and most having been relegated to second hand sales and the 3DS line taking over the shelf space.

[TeaHee]

Crossplay on GBA games between 3ds and WiiU with unified accounts


A mature exclusive like the Last of Us


Nintendo to flip the shooting genre on its head, like it did with the fighting genre when it released Smash Bros., with a new IP. Kind of like Fur Fighters from back in the day but good.
