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 am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
