AGENTS. ARE. GO!!!



Golden Sun for me. It's a very creative and original JRPG franchise that definitely deserves another chance. It would be great along Xenoblade and Fire Emblem as Nintendo's JRPG franchises.



The worst part of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is I have to buy it, because if it doesn't sell well we won't get any new Donkey Kong content. -_-

That's still the opposite of what we should be doing.  Instead, we should show Nintendo that half-assed, shoddy ports are not ok; especially at full price.  Games like Returns and Luigi's Mansion 2 just piss me off when all of the effort that went into the excellent Metroid Prime Remastered was only $40.

Then how do we get a new Donkey Kong game without buying that shoddy port? -_-



The Last Story deserves a mention too; a really fun and well made RPG with a great cast, an awesome soundtrack, and a fun combat system.

It's a shame we never got a followup; what I wouldn't give for The Last Story II on the Switch's successor.

Excluding the usual Mario, Pokemon and Zelda.


I would say Kirby.

Consistent releases and quality in games. Gameplay formula is pretty much the same but small changes and advancements here and there.

Every few years we get a new one with spinoffs as well.

Its in my top 5 favorite Nintendo IP franchises.

Exactly, so don't say something's not helpful when you're not offering a better solution.
