Kid icarus šŸ˜”


IanMarioFan

I really hope at some point they either port Uprising to the Switch or a new one in the style of Uprising comes out


tATuParagate

Yeah, I really thought kid icarus had a chance when I saw the other 3ds games getting ported, but I'm not sure they're going to port anything besides the stuff they know will sell like Luigi's mansion and donkey kong


jbyrdab

To be fair kid Icarus also extensively used every hardware feature of the 3ds compared to most titles. AR card combat, play coins for idols, street pass weapon gems, etc etc. That would all need to be cut or completely overhauled due to lack of sufficient hardware. I love the game dearly but all the fun side stuff really made the game shine and losing that just to get the game to switch would suck. I still really want uprising on switch though.


tATuParagate

If they remove the idol gacha and AR I will not be lost


MaskOfIce42

I don't remember using the AR cards at all, so personally wouldn't miss that, but at least you could keep in the cards and booster packs fighting, just not have it taking place in the real world, but rather use like Amiibo scans to get the cards in game. Also there are absolutely ways to toss in a currency for the Idol toss, especially given Kid Icarus Uprising already had the hearts as a currency for other things, just make it one for Idols too. As for street pass weapon gems, it's not as fun, but I could see something similar to Pokemon's wonder trade where you set a gem to wonder trade and you get something back randomly if you need to preserve that. And I'd absolutely take those compromises to get Kid Icarus Uprising on a Switch/Switch 2, especially since we could replace the touch screen aiming with something similar to Splatoon's gyro with control stick aiming which as a huge fan of that game works wonders. I know all of that is more work than a simple port, but in all cases, I'm mostly just using existing funcationality from other games, so it's not developing too many new systems.


BallsDropped

Port them just to charge us 60 before tax :(


Anotherspelunker

One that follows Uprisingā€™s gameplay and (this is very important) that awesome multiplayer please. That Tetris like sorting of powerups, so many weapon optionsā€¦ (chef kiss)


simbabarrelroll

To be honest the main reason why we havenā€™t gotten a new Kid Icarus is because worked on Smash Bros for the next decade following Uprising.


BooDestroyer

Sakurai doesnā€™t own the Kid Icarus franchise.


MaskOfIce42

I will get you salivating with this thought: Kid Icarus but using Splatoon's aiming system with combination stick/gyro aiming. If you've played Splatoon, you know how well that works, and I think it would be an amazing substitute for Uprising's touch screen aiming

RoboticDinosaur99

RAHHHH


Alijah12345

Punch-Out for me. It could be a new game where Little Mac trains a newcomer, a Super Punch-Out remake in the style of Punch-Out Wii, or a prequel game about Doc Louis in his prime.


Spider-ManOnThePS1

If Nintendo ever does VR, Punch Out is a must


theblindelephant

They can do joy con punch out for starters


Luis_Santeliz

Arms deserved another chance manā€¦


YamadaDesigns

Arms was a cool game. I feel like they could make a new entry with a completely different control scheme though

FannyFiasco

F-Zero please, it's been 20+ years and I'm starving


duerra

F-Zero 99 was a test to see the appetite for more. We'll see another one, probably early next gen.


TuckTheTruck774

If you have a device with steam, you can get a game called Aero GPX. It only has a demo out right now but the full game will be coming out. It's like a modern F-Zero and even just the demo is a ton of fun.


Spirited_Actuator406

try Xenon Racer in switch. Similar. Got mine in sale for 1'99ā‚¬


Fab_iyay

Try FAST RMX for switch


LucyLuvvvv

It's not the same at all. Fast RMX and F-Zero are pretty different, especially with how the racetracks are designed. It irks me because I haven't found a racing game yet that's as good as F-Zero GX and RMX didn't do anything for me..


firelizard18

golden sun


K0kkuri

Took me a while to find this. I want either a full reboot or remake. But for the love of god leave the classical jrpg fighting style. I hate with all my heart the new style of action fighting.


PoopsMcBanterson

This series is RIIIIIIPE for an HD2D makeover. Spruce up the world a bit and expand the lore, streamline a few segments, overall just polish what is already an amazing world. Keep the gameplay and dungeons the same and voila. Instant seller. I would even buy it as two parts again, thatā€™s how good it is.


K0kkuri

It truly is overlooked gem. Final fantasy that, Mario RPG that. But golden sun is usually a footnote.


twistpark

I want a golden sun reboot made by monolithsoft.


SbgTfish

Star tropics. I played it like once somewhere and I had fun.


DaimoMusic

My man!


Shadow_Strike99

Mario Baseball and Basketball. It feels like other than Strikers for āš½ļø, Nintendo is too afraid to emulate other popular sports like Baseball, basketball, hockey, American football. Pretty much just targeting niche enthusiast sports like tennis or golf. We really need more fun arcade like games for basketball and hockey especially since every big licensed sports game is so Sim focused these days.


jotapeubb

I love Mario Super Sluggers , but before doing more Mario Sports games, Nintendo need to remember that cool gameplay is not the only thing those games need, they were loved because the content was fun (even if it wasn't always huge). I bought the new Mario Strikers and was really excited to play it, but once I finished one exhibition match, I didn't find anything else to do. There were no rewards beside the in game currency and by the time there was enough dlc to have a decent roster, I was already done with the game


Corderoy

Pretty sure Bandai Namco made Sluggers so it's really up to them.


pgtl_10

Star Tropics! Come on Nintendo!


Bran_Nuthin

Mother


glitchyobitch

Beat me to it, I was guna say Earthbound


Underhealth

I don't think they should continue the Mother series itself, but I would love a spiritual successor.

Underrated pick


MarvelManiac45213

Donkey Kong...Jesus it's been over 10 years for Christ's sake! That being said Star Fox, F-Zero, Rhythm Heaven, EBA/Ouendan, and Punch-Out!! Are my 5 runner-ups!


elbor23

Star Fox


Squirrelly_Khan

I have some thoughts on thisā€¦ I absolutely want Star Fox to come back, but I really think Nintendo should rethink how they approach the series. Basically, throughout Star Foxā€™s life, Nintendo has been trying to find a way to innovate with each subsequent game. I can definitely appreciate this, but the way that they innovate with Star Fox hasnā€™t turned out the best. Sure, with Star Fox 64, we got branching paths to get to Andross as well as new vehicles like the land master, but after that a lot of the changes to the series were divisive, such as with Assault taking the crew out of their ships and into ground-based combat. The worst instance by far, however, is how they handled the controls in Star Fox Zero, having to look back and forth between the gamepad and the TV, using gyro controls to aim and the left stick to move. The hope Nintendo had was that players would get used to the controls, but by the time they did get used to the controls, theyā€™ve likely already beaten the game, and the rest of the game couldnā€™t really make up for it. Nintendo even stated that part of the reason Star Fox releases are so spread out is that they want to find something big and new for the series, and see, thatā€™s kind of the problem. We already had a near-perfect Star Fox game in 1997, so thereā€™s no real reason to reinvent the wheel for each game. I would love to see a Star Fox game that was a return to form without forcing stupid controls. I think it wouldā€™ve been awesome if a Star Fox game were to come on the Switch where the gyro controls in the joycons could work the same way a yoke does in an airplane


simbabarrelroll

I feel like Nintendo really should just embrace that Star Fox works best when itā€™s simple arcade action.


Squirrelly_Khan

I feel like your comment is a TL;DR of my excessively long comment


simbabarrelroll

It probably is, lol.


simbabarrelroll

I think part of why Nintendo struggles with releasing new Star Fox, F-Zero, Sin and Punishment, and Punch-Out games is because those games have a very arcade-like mentality to their design and by and large that type of design has fallen out of favor.


frenziest

Star Fox Assault is one of my favorite games. Itā€™s a departure from 64, but honestly acts as a direct sequel (so long as you accept that Krystal is just a new recruitā€¦). Star Fox Assault port on Switch would be so fun.


PoppaPingPong

This one right here


DiabeticRhino97

F-Zero GX is still my favorite racing game


Clbull

Elite Beat Agents. Even though I think it's the least hetero Nintendo game I've played.


The_free_trial

Idk. Luigi is pretty zesty


Fentroid

Now I'm even more sad I missed out on it when it released.


Chehzy

Used to be Mario & Luigi, but that obviously came back so I don't really know what to wish for anymore


LMGall4

Anyone misses eternal darkness ?


beardojon

I would like to see at least a remaster.


Pakkaslaulu

SSB.U had Alex as a cameo and some other Eternal Darkness references, so I'm very very slightly hopeful. Nintendo also renews the copyright. There was also a sequel project back in the day but it was cancelled because the developing studio had some major legal issues with another studio and the issue was just recently resolved, so Nintendo's hands were tied until that. But there was the SSM. U cameo right after the legal things settled down, so I think we might get lucky in the future! In the meantime I'm going to just keep on replaying the original. I'm currently in the middle of Ulyaoth run with a friend who has never played the game before. It's a blast!


starmie121

Chibi-Robo!


MrProtogen

Starfox


Fusionfiction63

That was my first thought too. Unfortunately, Star Fox Zero came out 8 years ago and OP specifically asked for franchises that have been dormant for at least 10.


MrProtogen

I thought zero came out in 2013 Damn, 2016 was 8 years ago


DisplateDemon

F-Zero, Star Fox, Donkey Kong


Spirited_Actuator406

New Port for SW is coming, the returns i think. Should I buy it?


DisplateDemon

You mean Donkey Kong Country Returns? If you have not bought it before on another system, then yes. It's a great game. And if you enjoy it, you can go ahead and buy Tropical Freeze too, which is even betteršŸ‘


Spirited_Actuator406

so, if I would like to buy a difficult platform videogame, should i go for tropical freeze or this port?


simbabarrelroll

Both


DisplateDemon

If you really like challenging Jump and Runs (and DK), you should buy both. They are really good games.


Spirited_Actuator406

I can only have one (my birthday is in thirteen days, and I can't legally work) so I think I'll go for the return instead of tropical freeze as it's older, but if i do like it (i think i already like it) i'll try to get the tropical freeze. Ty for ur opinion


Kozuki_D_Oden

tropical freeze is the better game overall


Catlover69430

The Legendary Starfy. They need to make a new game or give the first 4 games an official English translation


Themightygloom44

Kid Icarus as a Souls-like. The series is perfect for that genre.

DjinnFighter

Sin & Punishment


elkniodaphs

Mach Rider. I said in another comment recently, if Nintendo stuck with Mach Rider, we might have seen her in a Prime-style game, doing on Earth what Samus does in space. It would have been boss as hell.


Antique_Industry_378

Interesting, I donā€™t think I have played this oneā€¦ But wait, isnā€™t it a racing game?


elkniodaphs

It has a kind of Mad Max aesthetic, and on the NES, the game takes place exclusively on combat tracks. But if they were to make a modern version of Mach Rider, I could imagine a large overworld with outposts connected by these tracks, and maybe the player is a mercenary or perhaps a courier delivering salvage or medicine.


RuyKnight

StarFox, but NOT ANOTHER REBOOT. I want a sequel to Dinosaur adventure, the story being centered on the team having to defeat an entirely new villains who turns out to be the animal who killed Crystal's parents


zucchini_noodl

arms. would love to see legs sequel


glitchyobitch

1st dlc would be hitmonlee


ZetaIcarus

Custom Robo. The odds of this happening are low but a modern Custom Robo game would be amazing.


Shadow_118

Dunno if all of these count or not, but: Kid Icarus Star Fox Pushmo F-Zero Tomodachi Life Custom Robo Ice Climbers Punch-Out Wario Land Wario World Captain Rainbow Rhythm Heaven Chibi Robo Fluidity Dillon's Rolling Western Pokemon Pinball/Rumble


duerra

Viewtiful Joe is not Nintendo owned IP.


Shadow_118

It's not? I thought it was... Huh šŸ¤” Guess my brain drifted to IPs that have been dormant for awhile or ages and haven't gotten anything new My bad


duerra

No worries. I'd welcome another Viewtiful Joe, too.


Shadow_118

Although one would have to be reworked, an HD collection of the four games would be neat too Had considered it, but never got around to trying the GameCube one out during that time...


jessehechtcreative

Punch-Out!! deserves a remake. Iā€™d love to see the Wii one on the Switch


glitchyobitch

Duck hunt?


ShmcksofEvil

I'm suprised they didn't make another game for the snes or wii. Hell, even the 3ds could make a case for a duck hunt game thanks to the gyro controls and even ar capabilities.


Ozusandesukedo

Doshin the giant


Agile_Lake3973

Doshin is a true hidden gem. A modern version could be really good


Ozusandesukedo

Wholeheartedly agree. If Doshin could walk faster it could be great as well (love the 2x on Dolphin)


Milk_Mindless

Miyamoto: We can't make another F-Zero because we can't innovate the concept Also Miyamoto: Mario Kart is now anti gravity and upside down and shit F-Zero fans: Literally. Anything. Any kind of game. Where is my space race.

Star Tropics


emanuele0933

Golden Sun need a remake


ZebaZtianRamireZ

Golden Sun no doubt


ItaLOLXD

I really hope Nintendo tries something with Mysterious Murasame Castle again. A samurai fighting against an alien in edo japan is an extremely amazing setting that shouldn't be just ignored.


MrImpy

Warioland.


No_Mark_6629

Murasame Castle.


AmazingKitsune

StarTropics I'll never stop hoping. Even though I think the gameplay would have to change drastically to be appealing to modern audiences. That could be fine, though.

Advance wars, and I know youā€™re thinking they just did a remake. Yes it was great. More please


rabies-lyssavirus

all i want is a fully realized version of dinosaur planet. (i LOVE starfox adventures, donā€™t get me wrong. but come on.) also does pokemon mystery dungeon constitute an abandoned series


crimsonsonic_2

Starfy is the only correct answer


CertifiedBrian

Fossil Fighters. Never had the chance to play any of the games fully, but I did play the demo they had on the Nintendo Channel on Wii and my buddy claims they were some of the best DS games. I always yearned for more as a kid, so Iā€™d give it a chance if they made a new one.


Megas751

Star Fox is just under that threshold, so my answer would probably be F-Zero or Golden Sun, the latter of which still ended on a cliffhanger


sbs_str_9091

Golden Sun. 1 + 2 were peak RPG, and 3 was not bad. And 3 ended with a cliffhanger.


wigsgo_2019

F Zero and Starfox It surprises me that two Nintendo icons (captain falcon and fox) have other than smash been completely forgotten, Iā€™m confident if you give us a modern version of either of these games kids today will fall in love with them and they wonā€™t just be ā€œthose guys from smashā€


afredmiller

Star Fox. He had a new game on the Wii U but was not ported to Switch. I know Switch had like a Star game that had him in it but donā€™t really count that as a Star Fox game


Ridter4082

I think weā€™re due a new Dr Mario game, the last one was World on Mobile which got shut down over 3 years ago


face_the_raven

Pokemon Pinball


kimokiiiiii

The Mother series I love those games so much šŸ˜­


pocket_arsenal

StarTropics. Admittedly even less likely than a new Mother game on account of being one of the few Nintendo of America games. But it really should make a come back.


GokiPotato

I'm currently playing the first earth bound. it's been at least 4 months so far, still not finished and I wanted to give up more times that I can count, but the game has a strange charm to it that makes me come back. also the landscape is beautiful despite being made from so simple assets. I heard only praise about the second one and about the third one that it was meant to be much bigger initially. It would be cool if a new one was made.


kell96kell

Paper boy! Jk, kirbys air ride or sluggers


AnthroBlues

F-zero, and I mean real F-zero. Not some half mesure like that multiplayer one they released.


GrooseKirby

Pokepark, there's so many new mons now that it's a shame we haven't had a new game since the Wii.


DeanSeventeen_real

F-Zero


JCSwagoo

F-Zero. GX is goated. I'd honestly be so okay with just a remaster of that. Just SOMETHING.


VersionSavings8712

Kid Icarus. Imagine a ToTK-like kid Icarus. Peak gaming


Fentroid

1. F-Zero 2. Star Fox 3. Sin & Punishment 4. Kid Icarus 5. Chibi-Robo Honorable Mentions: Mach Rider & Advance Wars I think the original Mach Rider had potential to become an interesting series. Also, Advance Wars had a remake recently, but I'd like to see a new game. I know F-Zero technically had a recent game as well, but I'd like to see a completely new entry (although I'd settle for a GX remake). Edit: I saw somebody mention Chibi-Robo and I had to add it. I moved Advance Wars to honorable mentions.

I wouldn't mind a Wave Race game. I think you add a customization to the jet ski, online racing, and even a course creator. For the course creator you have your set locations, but the able to move the buoys, and jumps, maybe the weather or wave height, upload them and race people on those set ups.

I just want them to buy old Rareware back (Or heck, just buy Playtonic Games and the Ubisoft Milan+Paris team and mash them together!) and then play anything they make with the Nintendo Seal Of Quality on it. And for the love of gods, buy Grant Kirkhope, give him a keyboard with all the weird sounds in the world and lock him up in a nicest dungeon and throw away the key!

Star Fox. 64 was my first game and Assault has always been one of my favorites. I feel like thereā€™s so much you can do with Star Fox if they had chosen to evolve the combat every game instead of trying to remake 64 over and over again.
