| BengaBenga said: Why does everyone only mention Nintendo games, Matt disn't say it was a Nintendo franchise. Earthbound is not going to be huge news, since it's a small franchise outside Japan. Kid Icarus is a single game, not a franchise as such. I think more in the direction of Mega Man and Castlevania. Enormous franchises that will stop the internet the moment they will come to Wii exclusively. Donkey Kong platformer is a good guess as well. |
I didn't think they mentioned it was necessarily a Nintendo franchise but I'm too lazy to download the podcast again and listen. I initially though Mega Man since there are rumors flying that a mainline Mega Man game is in the works for the Wii. Though I don't know if either of those games really passes the you have to be older than 12 comment. Unless they mean a good 3D Castlevania game like Castlevania 64 but then 3D Castlevania games did appear on the PS2 and I don't think they are being that narrow in their definition.
Similarly while we haven't seen a good console mainline Mega Man game in decades it seems there were Mega Man games on the PS2. I suppose they could mean Mega Man legends but how many gamers would get excited about that (personal note, Mega Man 64 was one of the worst games I've ever played). If we try to figure out which third party franchise it could be that hasn't been made in years, is something gamers have been asking for, is something to get excited over, and has a known great studio behind it then we'll be here forever.
