Excitebike?

The developer left Ninty in 2002, and that was that. But why don't Ninty do another? I loved Excitebike 64 and, seeing as the series does belong to Nintendo, I would love seeing another Excitebike, as we don't have Moto GP.

Kid Icarus?

After his debut in 1986, Kid Icarus just suddenly disappeared. Apparently going to star in Dead Pheonix, but the production of that has been cancelled 'til further notice. Would love to see a revival.

Pilot Wings?

Ninty's brilliant flight simulator took off on the SNES and N64, but where has it gone now? I would love to see another Pilot Wings a) because the series is bloody brilliant and b) are there any flight games on 'Cube?

Mystical Ninja Goeman?

The last I heard of Goeman was on the N64, but why stop now when the series was rather sucessful?

Castlevania?

Ye, Aria of Sorrow is on the GBA, but what about a 'Cube version? Castlevania 64 was a very good game and I would love a bit of hack 'n' slash action from Belmont once more. Maybe Castlevania DS is the comeback.

Ness and the Ice Climbers

They were major hits on the NES and SNES, but what of them now? Only an appearance in Smash Bros. Melee has stoppedus forgetting them. There is an Earthbound remake apparently underway on the GBA, but whether it will reach UK shores is another matter. And the Ice Climbers? Forgotten. I would love to see Ness go 3D and an Ice Climbers remake on GBA.

Evermore?

The Mana games have continued on, as there is a GBA re-make and a Mana game confirmed for the DS, but what of the other half, Evermore? Come on Square, maybe you could link the two together like in Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Seasons.

Where have these series/characters gone? I would love to see all of them revived.

The 128bit Dreamcast is ONLY as powerful as that 32bit Xbox?
What are you on about? :-P

64-bit, 32-bit - they don't mean anything anymore. If you look at it that way, the DC is as powerful as the Xbox.

PSP is somewhere nears DC quality, maybe slightly better, but, then, the DC had far, far better games than you'll ever see on the PSP.

The PSP has much better graphics than the N64.

Dramatically more so than the N64.

PSP looks gorgeous. Yet just because it appears adult doesn't mean it'll sell. Adult gamers aren't big handheld gamers, the failure of the N-Gage showed that. Also the battery life is terrible, utterly terrible. And the reason the infamous Game Gear failed.

I always thought the PSP would be between $200-£250... it is pretty much $200 so I'm not surprised.

The battery life is as terrible as predicted though.
