How about a Turok remake/reboot?

Long before Retro made Metroid Prime, they were once Iguana Studios and made history by delivering the first truly great console FPS: TUROK!!

It'd be a cool series to see back on it's glory track. A remake would be sweet on 3DS and it'd be an amazing to have a full HD remaster/reboot on Wii U. It'd provide a mature IP/shooter that actually makes sense on the Nintendo platform

I would LOVE that. Turok 1 and 2 are two of the best console FPS games I've played. And the series is in desperate need of a reboot. 

But doesn't Disney Interactive own the rights?

I think Disney may have the rights up for sale. If you recall, there was actually Turok reboot in 2008. It was okay -- but nothing near the original Turok 1 & 2 levels of awesome. Disney was going to do a sequel to that reboot, but the project got canned indefinitely back in 2009 without ever even announcing it and no developments have taken place since. Last september, some concept art and footage was leaked.

Nintendo should own the Turok franchise. I should write a thread on this...

Off topic, but did anyone play Turok 3? I never did but people don't seem to remember it that fondly. Turok 2  was a masterpiece back then, so I'm curious what went wrong with the sequel.
