[@RespectTheLogos3]

Star Fox, F-Zero, Donkey Kong Country and Punch-Out all need a new entry.

[@mattiasolsson1523]

Am i the only one who saying Other M isn’t a disaster? Its a good game and better than federation force.

[@Leopez02]

I've never played Starfox games because don't have any so I really wan't Nintendo to bring back Starfox with a Remake like Starfox Adventures the BEST Starfox game or a whole new Starfox game for Nintendo Switch, maybe it's coming for the Switch 2! 🦊🌠

[@Leopez02]

I was so glad when Luigi's Mansion made a comback with Luigi's Mansion 3 and Metroid too with Metroid Dread, but defienitily Metroid Prime Remastered! 🌌💚

[@yothatscrash3092]

Folks really just say stuff and latch into what others say without even doing research lol. My fav is Nintendo only makes Zelda and Mario like what 😂

[@Phanthief95]

@@yothatscrash3092Usually people say this for their favorite franchises. For starters, we have not gotten a new F-Zero game in years. As well, not only have we not gotten any remakes for the Earthbound series but Nintendo has never localized Mother 3 in the West.

[@tailsprower8118]

That's more for Playstation than Nintendo, unfortunately

[@ade1174]

​@@Phanthief95F-Zero 99 is technically a new F-Zero game even if it's just tracks from the SNES original repackaged as a battle royale. But, man, I'd love a sequel to GX.

[@zakirstocks9514]

I'm so glad Nintendo brought back *Luigi's Mansion, Metroid, Pikmin, Mario & Luigi, Another Code, Big Brain Academy, Pokémon Snap, Wars and The Famicon Detective Club* franchises after ALL these years for the Nintendo Switch System! I Absolutely missed ALL of these Nintendo Gaming Masterpiece Gems SO much throughout the years!

[@a.jthomas6132]

Princess Peach and Princess Daisy deserve to have their own spinoff game after Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

[@civilwildman]

I take it you mean a Mario & Luigi-like JRPG? Princess Peach got another game of her own recently.

[@krististarosta6736]

I’m so happy they brought back the Mario & Luigi series! It’s my favorite!

[@mattiasolsson1523]

Meanwhile Star Fox, Donkey kong, F zero and Golden Sun hiding in the shadow and need attention. Come on Nintendo.

[@twistedgaming9185]

Donkey Kong Country Returns is coming to the Switch on January 16, 2025, in HD and with stuff from the 3DS version.

[@grayfox4819]

Well, technically F-Zero got F-Zero 99 which I do count as something, especially since it has several original things despite being online only. And while not a proper Star Fox game, the Star Fox characters got their own storyline in Starlink Battle for Atlas from Ubisoft, so that isn't completely absent neither.

[@amazingvman]

Supposedly they want to release Golden Sun remake for the next console, but they are still looking at it with caution due to it originally belonging to Camelot and Golden Sun 3 not selling too well

[@mattiasolsson1523]

@@amazingvman A Golden Sun remake sounds like a good idea, with a HD-2D style. Also together with the lost age.

@@Leopez02 I have never played Adventures so i can't really say anything about it. My favorite one is Star Fox 64 3DS. So if you are interested in the franchise you should definetely play that one.

there was a 3rd Famicom Detective Club game that released via Satellaview...and only the 1st Another Code was on DS, the sequel was on Wii ( it's sibling series comprised of Hotel Dusk and Last Window is the one with both titles on DS ). You also forgot to mention Cruis'n also as for Nintendo IPs I want to see revived ( and in some cases finally given worldwide releases ): Golden Sun ( no more cliffhangers ffs...just give us an actual ending already! ) Rhythm Heaven Chibi-Robo ( at least give us a remaster of the original..... ) Captain Rainbow Soma Bringer Jet Impulse Card Hero Star Fox ( and no more rehashing the original/64 ) StarTropics F-Zero Excite ( at least remaster Excitebots please... ) Eternal Darkness Dillon Magical Vacation/Starsign Kyle Hyde series ( Hotel Dusk & Last Window ) Mysterious Murasame Castle Punch-Out!! Teleroboxer Wario Land series Mach Rider

[@BJGvideos]

Oh god the ending of Magical Starsign was so depressing. Can Mokka recover? Is Chai going to be ok (why is he sitting in the spot that the story told us would be lethal?!)? God there's so many questions.

[@devingiles6597]

I agree on Star Fox. We definitely need a new Star Fox game with a new story and a new villain. And yes, no rehashing of the original game.

[@dustinwalters2728]

I like WatchMojo lists but some of the commentary is a little frustrating. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team wasn’t game of the year, but a lot of people played it and loved it. One of the biggest Nintendo fans I know believes it to be the best in the series.

[@lordmolag45000]

Exactly. Watchmojo, especially this guy, refuses to play the games they talk about in a bad light because they're a freaking content farm with nothing in mind but money. No research, care for their fans or anything else. Just f*cking money.

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

Can't say the same for F-Zero and Star Fox. I played Hey! Pikmin. It wasn't that bad. The Mario & Luigi series is over 20 years old? Old👴... I played Dream Team and Paper Jam. Ash Ketchum voices a character in Advance Wars Reboot. I thought Metroid Prime 4 was never coming out. I found Other M's story pretty hilarious in how bad it is (Why did you shoot me? You can't handle these Metroids. That's great and all but why did you shoot me?) but the controls weren't that good.
