This game blew my mind. I know it's a "cult Classic", but It still deserves more.

Earthbound is one of my favorite games to, must have played it all the way through a dozen times as a kid

As far the creator is concerned the series is done so we won't be getting any new games/remakes but FOR GODS SAKE RELEASE 3 INTERNATIONALLY

Project Zero/Fatal Frame 2: Wii Edition was one of the finest horror games I've ever played, but arriving on the Wii very late in its life and not getting a North American release, it was largely overlooked, which is a damn shame.

Thankfully, it is being remade and will hopefully find the audience it deserves this time around.

Astral Chain is a Nintendo IP (even Platinum confirmed), so Astral Chain.

Everyone mentions Advance Wars but no one mentions Famicom Wars.

Even less mention Game Boy Wars!

I’m keen for an Astral Chain sequel.
Hopeful that Platinum will be able to show something off next year.

Yeah I'm not sure I'd call it forgotten as it's pretty well loved among the Nintendo fanbase online, but Astral Chain was fantastic and one of the best pleasant surprises of Switch 1 for me.

I don't remember where I saw it, but internal reports at PG, an AC sequel is very unlikely, which sucks.

Star Fox Adventures

(!!!) Maybe I’m biased, having replayed this games at least a dozen times since I was 2yo, but this is a very good answer! SFA is one of my all-times favorite games. It’s a shame that people have rejected the game for being a Star-Fox-game-in-name-only.

I liked it and they could have evolved it more space and land missions. I know star fox assault tried to do that, but it wasn't as visual or story wise pleasing. Missed opportunity there.

How I miss Rare :')


Honestly A Star Fox Space Opera could potentially the Switch 2 I didn't know I needed. Especially with the Zelda team likely on even longer development Cycles, it would be nice to have another adventure RPG.

The full version of Star Fox Adventures/Dinosaur Planet could have really been something very special.
A lot was cut to get it out the door before the Microsoft buyout was completed and it ends up a bit rushed
and light on content in places. Maybe not all the ambition could have made it, but there was plenty there
unexplored in the final release.
