Something I’ve always thought about is how many franchises from the NES era have been left completely dormant for nearly four decades. (Why isn’t Nintendo using their IP?) That said, if you were to pick one, which do you think could receive a modern entry which really shakes up and reimagines the formula of these abandoned NES games? I personally would be very interested to see what Nintendo could possibly do in a modern Ice Climbers. You could have the duo exploring mountains and caves, fighting all sorts of ice enemies, in a fully 3D platformer. They could even introduce a new race of species exclusive to the Ice Climbers world, with villages and all the sorts.

StarTropics. Im not a huge fan, but a new 3D one could be fun.

Added to poll. That’s a good one



Excitebike would be cool! We haven’t had one since the Wii. I wouldn’t even mind if it was in the form of a spin-off like Excite Truck, except with like Rally cars or something.



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

Dr. Mario is overdue for a revisiting; not counting the mobile game, which is literally unplayable, the last entry was over 10 years ago.

Wizards and Warriors, not sure who owns the ip.



I missed the NES as I started gaming in the following generation, so I never actually played any of these, but from what I've seen a modern take on Ice Climbers and Startropics could be interesting.



I'm curious to see how a new Ice Climbers game would be. Excitebike could be interesting too. And I'm not a huge fan of Startropics, but yeah, the series got potential to expand.



New Ice Climbers would be interesting.

Could use another platformer that isnt Mario, DK or Kirby.
