Forums - Nintendo - Which Nintendo series will be announced at E3 for Wii or DS?

While there are several opics on this subject, I'd like to bring up my table of Nintendo series (updated for March) and their status on Wii and DS. As you can see, there is plenty of potential for E3 2008 resurrections.

Which of these would you like to see and which of these will be announced?

This is a list of all major Nintendo series and whether they have been released on Wii and DS yet. It is intended to show how much IP Nintendo could use for these platforms without even creating new franchises.

Personally I would like to see Metroid Dread come out of development hell and have a real, old-school but graphically impressive 2D Metroid for the DS.

Which of these would you like to see and which of these will be announced?

i want a super mario rpg sequel for the wii an also a spinoff version for the ds



Nintendo Network ID: Sherlock99

I don't care so much about which franchise is announced, I just want to see more balance board support. From your list I guess Excitebike, Waverace, 1080 Snowboarding, Punchout, Mario Golf and Tennis would be most appropriate for the peripheral.



I reckon, Kid Icarus, Pikmin, F-Zero or Animal Crossing or a combination will be announced.

You're list is great, but you are really missing something... Donkey Kong!!!!

Because you list Kirby and Pikmin already as in development, there's only Kid Icarus which will pretty sure be announced, and maybe F-Zero on the DS.



Currently Playing: Skies of Arcadia Legends (GC), Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Last Game beaten: The Rub Rabbits(DS)

your right how can you miss the giant hairy tie wearing ape ?!! Anyways I would like a proper duckhunt, golden sun, and punch out announced.



I think Kirby Wii will be reconfirmed. It was on the release list for 2008 and we still haven't pictures or videos of the game (beside the Gamecube-Trailer).
There should be some news.

Pikmin 3 is rumoured to be in development, but they isn't any official confirmation (right?).

Wii: Confirmation of 1-2 of these: Kirby/ Pikmin 3 / Animal Crossing / StarFox/ F-Zero / Kid Icarus
+ some new material for actual Wii games.
+ something special for Wii (new Wii hardware)

DS: Some Spin-Off of a bigger Nintendo franchise (SMRPG, anyone?)
+ lot of information for DS-games

That's my guess.

Wasn't it announced for Japan along with Animal Crossing?

Fix'd.

+ some new material for actual Wii games.

What do you mean?


+ something special for Wii (new Wii hardware)

I very much doubt it. HD Wii? DVD Wii? Not happening.

DS: Some Spin-Off of a bigger Nintendo franchise (SMRPG, anyone?)
+ lot of information for DS-games

Metroid Dread please please please please. And SSB DS, but only in my dreams.

That's my guess.

Pikmin 3. That's all I'm asking for, then I'll be happy.
