I hope so.

We need a Ice climber 3DS game, Metroid WiiU game, Star Fox WiiU game, a Mother 3DS game, Pokemon 3rd gen remake for 3DS, a new pokemon IP (maybe the fighting one that was rumored) for WiiU, a new 3D mario game for WiiU, a new Mario game for 3DS, Majora's Mask 3D for 3DS, etc.

What's the deal about wanting Ice Climbers? The fun factor in the first game were lower than 0. It might get barable with good controls though.

Icarus became a popular character because of Smash Bros so they gave him his first game In like 20 years and was absolutely nothing like the old ones.

Ice Climbers are reasonably popular characters so why not give them a reboot just like Kid Icarus?

Because... Kid Icarus was a pretty decent game about an angel fighting the forces of hell with a bow and arrow.

Ice Climbers was a game about two little eskimos jumping on ice blocks with horrible controls.

I fail to see how they can really reboot Ice Climbers in a way that makes sense.  If Nintendo genuinely comes up with a good idea for them, they should do it, but there's no point in reviving a franchise that was crappy to begin with just for the sake of reviving it.
