You can never count those Nintendo franchises as dead because Nintendo doesn't seem to see things that way. (See Punchout). Although i don't know the circumstances Mother/Earthbound finished in, i can definitely see most of those franchises being brought back in the next few years. Switch is the perfect platform for many of them, unifying handheld and home consoles and if Nintendo try to give it along life they are going to need their franchises. Lots of them. Especially if Switch continues to be successful over a long period. I can see most if not all of those games mentioned appear on the Switch at some time in some iteration. Only 1 i'm not sure of is Mother/Earthbound. Does Itoi have any sway at Nintendo now?
