Gameboy Advance games finally coming to the 3DS eshop

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

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.

For the love of god, give me X.

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

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.

Yes Please.

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.

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

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

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.

f-zero

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.

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.

That'd be so balls..

Make is so Iwata. Make it so..

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.

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.

F-Zero, Starfox, or Custom Robo

Preferably F-Zero

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.

Star Fox and and Nintendo developed Mega Man

Dinosaur Office Downloadable Episodes.

NO!!!!!

This is why you are a bad poaster.

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.

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.

I don't know, I haven't really seen Nintendo push the 3D anymore, plus there are games like NSMB2 which practically have no 3D whatsoever. Not to mention the 3DS XL, which makes it really difficult to find and maintain the 3D sweet spot. So, I'm not sure it's a feature that even Nintendo care about anymore.

I hate this way of thinking but it is dead-on with how Nintendo thinks.  I'm certain that many first party Wii games (DKC Returns being the perfect example) did not have traditional controls as an option, even when they easily could have, simply because if the option was available it suggested that motion controls were not the end-all-be-all.  Why would you need the option if motion controls were so obviously superior?  When the whole system's reason for existence relies on the concept of a new control scheme, to suggest that this new control scheme is optional or unnecessary or might not be the preferred way to play the game to some players effectively exposes the con.

So, yes, a 3DS Player suggests that 3D is optional, which it is and everyone deep down KNOWS this.  Unlike the Wii, the 3DS actually does offer a substancial improvement over its predecessor even without the 3D (the DS was the same way; take away the touchscreen and it's still a conventional update to the GBA) and if Nintendo were more confident in themselves and not prone to making idiotic anti-customer decisions based on stubbornness they would realize that the 3D marketing bullet-point didn't work and that there is no reason to deny the public a useful product over it.  But they won't.  It's too bad because I want a DS player badly.

The real solution is to just release a product that holds up on its own merits and doesn't have to forced to "prove" its worth.

Anyway, the one non-Mario/Zelda/Pokemon/Metroid announcement I want to see... is the next Mario/Zelda/Pokemon/Metroid.  I don't mean the next game in those series, I mean the next Nintendo IP that becomes as big of a deal as those series.  Nintendo creates new IP for the little quirky games or the casual stuff.  I want something that they expect to be their next big franchise.  I want them to be expecting Christmas to be carried by this game.  I want them to be relying on this game to sell systems.  I want their top talent working on this game and I want the development budget and marketing budget for this to be on par with their "big" releases.  I want something that suggests a philosophical shift in Nintendo from the cookie-cutter sequel milking of the Iwata era to something more akin to the "make every game count" philosophy of the Yamauchi era (which may have just been a coincidence due to the need to create valuable IP in the first place but, fuck it, I want that to become their philosophy regardless).
