I think they should revive the F-Zero franchise, we can't allow Captain Falcon to hide away as "Falcon...Punch!!!" man.

tough question TBH, I'd love a new IP but I'm not sure if they're up to it...

how 'bout a sequel to Other M? :P

New IP. They're ideally placed within Nintendo's bevy of developers to deliver something original, Western-oriented, but still with a Nintendo flavor

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Ok now for a serious post.

I'd love to hear some feedback on this one, just a thought I had the other day - Retro should make a new console Battalion Wars - maybe in cooperation with the original developer, Headstrong.

I remember Reggie commenting a while ago that this and Fire Emblem were both not realizing their potential in sales...

maybe Retro could do something about that...

Any thoughts?

I hope Retro Studios at least form another Kong if they decide to make a sequel to their revival.

Donkey Kong galaxy

*imaginary troll face picture because too lazy to find one*

But in all serious, every neglected big Nintendo IP should be done.
