It just occurred to me that Konami could probably make a killer Eternal Darkness game.

The American Kennel Club Nintendogs Wii version.

I hate/love Reggie for this. My hopes for the future are way too high.

then how about Square? They can make damn good MMOs.

Of course I am a Zelda fan. Epic Games may take Zelda graphics to the highest level, is that bad? On the other hand, we will also have Nintendo to give the franchise the magic it has always had...

One more for Valve and Metroid.

Specifically I want an objective-based, Federation-vs-Pirates, online FPS. Each round, each team has a hero (Samus or a pirate elite) that the rest of the team has to support in their objectives.

how about team up with Sony for Sony vs Nintendo Brawl.

There are very few companies out there that know and can work Nintendo's hardware better than Nintendo themselves.  Zelda games have nearly always (certainly in the 3d era) been among the best looking games on their respective systems.  Just look at Twilight Princess, still considered one of the best looking games on Wii when in actual fact it's a Gamecube game.  I can almost guarantee that Zelda Wii will be one of the best looking Wii games when it comes out so i'm not sure if Epic could add anything much to this equation.

GameArts + Nintendo = Zelda

Frictional Games + Retro + Nintendo = Penumbra or other Survival horror game (pleaaaasee!!!)

Blizzard + Nintendo = Diablo-style game

Bioware + Nintendo = Baldur's Gate

Monster Hunter team + Nintendo = Pokemon Wii

Me too.  But only on the condition that they bring back Taro Bando to do the music because F-Zero is not WipeOut and shouldn't have a techno soundtrack.
