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.

PSP has graphics somewhere between PSone and PS2, but nearer PS2 quality. The DS can generate graphics a little better than the N64, but no where near the GC quality.

Neither have confirmed prices for Europe so we can only guess. My point was the PSP price level was lower than some had expected.

I heard the PSP will generate graphics as good as the PSone, but then the DS can generate graphics as good as the N64.

Plus, the DS I heard will be £100 and the PSP £150. I'd say that was a huge margain.

I think its should be obvious that the DS will be better than the PSP, for quality and price. Nintendo should wipe the floor this time, but it just depends how many idiots are out and about when its released.

And it's less powerful

And it looks like a cheap GBA

The future's bright, the furtures Ninty.

The PSP can't compare because it lacks inventiveness.

But £100 for a machine so powerful and so unique, I'd say it was definately worth it.

The PSP can't compare.

Just searched for it and theres a few weak sources that suggest it will be £99.99. Thats probably right as its not likely to be a direct translation from the US price, things seem to always cost more over here.
