wii to be bigger in 08

[Sterculius]

two important aspects to that prediction that need to be taken into consideration. One is that it says "a new wii take..." which seems to imply this is not a franchise that has been on the wii before, thus excluding Zelda, Mario, or Metroid. Also we have to wonder what exactly they mean when they say "classic". Are they talking about the popularity of the franchise in question, or are they simply refering to it's age. If so, how far back do they go to consider it a classic? N64 days, or all the way back to NES?

Right now there are too many possibilities to make any strong guess. But there aren't too many other "major" franchises in Nintendo's reserve that I haven't yet excluded.

My personal guess would be, if there is an announcement about a major franchise sequel, it would either be something to do with Donkey Kong or Animal Crossing.

There already has been an announcement about Animal Crossing for the Wii.

Well if it's not Zelda, what else could it be?

[Numuruzero]

Because Zelda is the only game/icon of Nintendo, right?

[pYRo]

Well, what else is there, Kirby? Who likes Kirby? They said it was a "major sequel", not a sequel that not many people are going to care about. I just can't see a game starring a pink oval that sucks crap into it as being a beloved classic.

[Numuruzero]

Well, that's your opinion.

[iOwnage]

They were just IGN predictions, there's no guarantee that we will get any of the things they were talking about.

Even if thats true... why'd you have to tell me?

It is a well loved classic, actually

I think it might be Starfox. The Wii is perfect for it.

ooh, that would be cool. But let's just cross our fingers that it isn't Kirby.

[Numuruzero]

Oh, come off it. Kirby would be fine. But yeah, Starfox would be awesome. If they could outdo Starfox 64, arguably the best Starfox game in the series, they would have a hit.
