I see 3 Nintendo franchises that could be big if Nintendo pushed them.

3. Animal Crossing/ Animal Crossing on the G.C sold about 2.9Million selling great for the console it was on. A.C.W.W sold about 11.1 Million also selling great. A.C.C.F sold 3.5 Million so far on the Wii. As I do think it will end up selling at least 5 Million it was still not as good as it should have been. With the Wii base A.C had a huge chance to become the next big thing(Nintendogs, Wii Fit) but failed. It could have sold 10 Million if it was changed enough for the core and promoted well for the calmer wii base. Instead it was only changed somewhat(Maybe) and it didn't sell to the new wii base.

2. Yoshi/ I honestly think that Yoshi is a very easy to get along with character. He is very loveable and charming to many Nintendo fans new and old. Yoshi Story sold 2.8 Million with little support behind it and was the last Yoshi game for a home console. Yoshi should now return after 10 years of being a no show on a Nintendo home console. Yoshi is the kind of character that kids and adults worldwide would love and with the new Wii base it could be a huge hit for Nintendo. I honestly think that a new console Yoshi adventure would outsell a DK64 sequel on Wii. I say bring back the green animal and lets have some fun!

1. Pikmin/ Pikmin sold about 1.6 MIllion and became the 10th best selling game on the G.C in Japan. Pikmin 2 was a huge upgrade and was loved by anyone who tried it. The sad thing was not many tried it. Pikmin 2 sold 1 Million and became the 11th best selling G.C game in Japan selling the same amount as the 1st one. It failed in America mainly due to stock problems. Pikmin could be the next unexpected hit with Pikmin3/Wii. The Wii controls are perfact for the franchise and Pikmin seems like it could be a bridge game that would sell to the classic gamers and the new found Wii base. Both Pikmin games got great reviews and the franchise has a lot of Potential. With Pikmin 3 Nintendo could have another hit franchise on their hands.
