Nintendo appears to be keeping two franchises -- Pokemon and Kirby -- to have their main games on handhelds only.
This would not be surprising. After Tetris, Pokemon made the Gameboy a force and has continued ever since. Only battle and spin-offs of Pokemon have ever made their way to consoles.
Meanwhile, Kirby started off on the Gameboy, then jumped to consoles -- especially the SNES and N64. But since then the only console game has been a racer spin-off, the mainline GC game was canceled, the mainline Wii game is MIA, and a favorite SNES game has been updated for the DS.

I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
